karingrimes Yes I get this way with all my animals. They are part of the family, so it is hard to think of them as just an animal. My cat who will be a year old in September sometimes becomes obsessed with a certain area of the house. If she sees a bug or something in...

What do you think of stay -at-home-moms?

butterfly101 @butterfly101 (54) • United States 26 Jun 07

I personally think a mother that can stay at home and raise her children is wonderful, although I do understand how sometimes you just aren't able to do that. It takes alot of love and sacrifice to do this. Even if it means doing...

What did you think of the season finale?

jnallen_487 @jnallen_487 (800) • United States 12 Jun 07

I was so mad that they did that to Ray. I was telling my sister the week before that if they killed him off that I wasn't watching anymore. Now I don't know what is worse. What did you all think of it?

karingrimes I have been watching ER since the beginning, and have seen 95% of the episodes. Never have I been more upset than with what they did to Ray. I would have been happier if they had killed him off than to watch not only him suufer but also Neela(?spelling) I...

karingrimes Does your grandmas cat have health problems? If not she is taking it to the vet way too often. A healthy indoor cat really only needs to be taken in for a yearly exam, or when shots are due. Unless there is some other issue that needs attention.

karingrimes We have a Chihuaha. I believe that out of fairness for the animal you should get a dog that fits it surroundings. We chose a small dog because we have a small house. Can you imagine being a Great Dane and living in a small two bedroom house with a small...

karingrimes I was on Effexor for OCD a few years ago. I was able to come off of it over the course of several weeks. I do not advise anyone to come off of any prescription that you take on a regular basis without doing it gradually. When you come off of it quickly your...

karingrimes Cats of all ages do this as a sign of affection. A cat mysteriuosly is in tune with humans, therefore they know that the lips on humans are very sensitive. But be careful, not only will they do it to show love but they will also bring the claws out if they are...

karingrimes Cats should almost never need a bath. Unless they have a skin disorder that required treatment, or if they are infested with fleas, tick or are very dirty.- Giving a cat a bath too often can cause excessive drying of the skin because it removes essential oils...

Why does my cat run away?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 21 Jun 07

Sometimes when I walk near my cat, he makes a funny cry and runs away fast. But, then later he comes up to me, and rubs my hand as if nothing's wrong. Do you think he's afraid of me? Or, does he think I'm chasing him?

karingrimes Cats are playfull by nature. Chances are your cat wants to play. If you cat is afraid of you it will most likely hiss, crouch down and put its ears back. Cats are very loyal, they always come back to you.

karingrimes You are not wrong for wanting the dog out of your yard. It sounds to me like the dog may not be treated so well at his house. If it is a small dog I could see it getting scared, but from experience most dogs become aggressive if they feel threatend. I have an...
