I have two kittens, who I adore greatly. They are about 8 weeks old and this really neat lady gave them to us. Knowing she was giving them to us, she still had them vaccinated and regularly checked by the vet. All growing up,...

Velanthia On another note: I've known a LOT of people who had cats around small children with no problems. My best friend's two-year-old learned not to pull the cat's tail by getting a swipe on her hand. If the cat hadn't had it's claws, it probably would've bitten her...

Velanthia ONE of my cats lets me trim her claws with regular nailclippers. It depends on the cat. Starting them at a young age definitely helps. I got the idea when my cat came home after being spayed and her claws were nice and short and filed. I assume they did it...

Velanthia As far as I can tell by cats that I've seen shortly after the surgery, they appear to be in pain. Rather than thinking of it as removing part of your fingers, imagine that someone has removed part of your TOES and you still had to walk on them. I've seen cats...

My boyfriend and I love cats. Last Friday we have rescued a malnourished 3 to 4 weeks old male kitten. The kitten was very hungry then, full of scars and wounds on his face, and has no energy to run, walk or meow. So we took him...

Velanthia Please do not give your kitten hotsauce as the previous response suggests. This burns their little mouths and is cruel. I've had a similar problem with a kitten that WASN'T malnourished - Dot was born in a foster home and fully weaned before being returned...

I don't know why it is, but it seems I have a really hard time training little dogs to go to the bathroom outside. It doesn't seem to just be me though, I know several people that have little dogs and they all have problems with...

Velanthia I'm no expert, but my guess would be that smaller bladders = harder to learn to "hold it". Small dogs also tend to have more problems with "excitable piddling" where they get too worked up and dribble.

Velanthia For most dogs (especially larger breeds who weigh 40lbs or more as adults) 2 years old is barely the end of their puppy time :) In fact, a lot of dogs should even be on puppy chow until they are a year and a half to two years old! So, the answer to your...

Velanthia Unfortunately I recently did a lot of research for flying with pets (in the US) and came up with nothing helpful whatsoever. I wanted to transport cats (each under 20lbs) and every airline I checked into had one policy or another that prevented me from being...

I'm buying a bunny soon and am kind of lost for names. I want somethign original but also something unique fun and memorable. Any suggestions fellow mylotters? I know this is a bit of a spam discussion but my daughter is really...

Velanthia Personally I would choose a name from the book Watership Down. There are a lot of cute rabbit names in the book, and most people won't know what the name is from so it will seem original. If you haven't read it, see if you can get your hands on a copy; it may...

I'm a little bit confused here, are chicken bones really not good for dogs or what? We have a dog and whenever we had chicken for our meal, we usually give her the left overs including the bones. Some says...

Velanthia Just because nothing has gone wrong YET does not mean its okay to feed your dog chicken bones; it just means that, so far, you've been lucky. Chicken MEAT is fine (and is, in fact, a primary ingredient in a lot of pet food) but make sure you remove the meat...
