CAT.. PREGO.. DONT NO WEN..KITTENS REALLY REALLY ACTIVE.. DOES ANYONE NO WHEN SHE MIGHT GIVE BIRTH.? JUST A LIL MILK.. CAN YOU HELP...???
Yes I can help by telling you to make sure you get her fixed as quickly as possible. If she doesn't have enough milk for the kittens DO NOT GIVE THEM MILK. Go to the store and by some mothers replacement milk or kitten replacement milk. It comes in a little box like juice and is inexpensive. Buy it at a pet store or even WalMart in the pet foods.

Answer to:
My cat had a blockage which stopped him urinating. She unblocked him but he still cant pee. She says it may be psychological now?
I do not believe any vet would say that. A blocked urinary tract or UTI (urinary tract infection) in a cat is fatal and will lead to death quickly. By that I mean it can be a matter of hours. The toxins remain in the body instead of being flushed out and everything becomes infected. When my male cat had that same thing happen, I took him to the vet and the vet took him from me as I walked in...

Answer to:
Why do people let their cats wander around outside when there are all kinds of dangers like crazy people, cruel kids, cars, diseases, etc.?
They do it because they are stupid, irresponsible pet owners who don't have a clue about pet ownership and shouldn't be allowed to own a pet. To them it is nothing but a disposable item. If it gets killed or disappears, they replace it at the next opportunity.

Answer to:
I am afraid to let my cat outside, because my younger kitten was killed by a coyote. But he really needs the exercise and is overweight.
Get him a cat structure that he can run up and climb. Like one person wisely said, a laser toy will help as well. Play with him. Throw a wad of paper and let him chase it. Put a little effort into helping your cat lose some weight and do not let him out. If he is overweight he especially would be no match for any predator because he wouldn't be able to move fast enough.

The most important thing is to not give it cows milk and make sure you stimulate it to go to the bathroom. WalMart and pet food stores have something called mothers replacement milk.

I agree with nimby about getting it to a vet for a check up. While 13 is old it isn't necessarily the end however she needs to be checked. Some cats develop the feline equivalent to Alzheimers which is a consideration. Cats won't suddenly develop bad toilet habits unless there is something wrong like a kidney or bladder infection and you really do need to get her looked at asap. Good luck. I...

I GOT A 7 WEEK OLD KITTEN 3 DAYS AGO AND SHE ISNT GOING TO THE BATHROOM AT ALL. BUT IS EATING AND DRINKING FINE. WHAT CAN I DO?
My first concern would be what you are feeding her. A 7 week old kitten should not be constipated and should be able to pass some waste without its mothers stimulation. Having said that however you must do something about this quickly. Not going to the bathroom for a kitten can cause toxicity in its little body and it will be gone within days.

It could be that she isn't strong enough to feed all at once. Her teats could be sore or she may not have enough milk for all of them. You need to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't go long without being fed.

Answer to:
should domesticated cats be kept indoors or let out

Unless you live in an ideal setting with no traffic, predators or sickos, no responsible cat owner will let its cat outside to wander around...

Should I let my cat out during the day while I'm work?

Sure there are exceptions but do you really want to find out if your cat will be one of them. Too much traffic and too many predators and sick people around to take the chance. It is not true that indoor cats are...

If you could go back in time, when would you go to & why?
I think I would go back to the Elizabethan era where ladies were ladies and wore incredibly beautiful gowns and jewellery. They spent their time embroidering and writing letters and had servants to draw their baths. The men were gentlemen who would fight for your honor and they wore beautiful clothes as well. So, yes, the Elizabethan era but with modern washroom fascilities :)

I'll be damned if I know but I think this is one of the best questions I have ever read on AB. He wasn't born of a mother so there wouldn't have been an umbilical cord would there. I guess good old Adam was belly buttonless. Guess he didn't have to worry about all that fluff flying around the garden.

Is it true that the Amish dominate the puppy mill trade?
Being an animal lover your question piqued my interest because to be honest I couldn't believe it was true. Apparently there is cause for concern. The Amish certainly do not, in any stretch of the imagination, dominate puppy mill trade but it was found that a small group in Penn had puppy mills and treated their animals very cruely. They claim their dogs are not pets but animal stock. Let me...

I have always found a man who had long hair, pulled back into a pony tail to be exotic looking and extremely appealing to me. It puts me in mind of very masculine musketeers and pirates. If you feel you need a change maybe you could just cut it shorter instead of going bald.

Don't worry about it. A very popular meal in some select high end resaurants is called "Steak Tartare" It is totally raw beef and its delicious. When you order it the portion normally covers about half your plate. That's quite a bit of raw beef. You can probably do a Google search for steak tartare to describe it more than I have.

They have their own language and can get very complicated. He has to fit in with the other cats and this may be a way of deciding the pecking order. You might try and bring him into the room with you when you go to bed to get him...

Why would the women's luge track be slower and easier than the mens??

Fatal Luge accident and several minor accidents during practice today @ the 2010 Olympics. Do you feel maybe the track is too challenging?
I heard one of the Olympic athletes discussing this and he said they would not want to compete on any course which was not a challenge. However, being challenging and being dangerous do not have to go hand in hand. This course is dangerous and many had complained about it prior to the start of the Olympics. Unfortunately no one was listening.

We would like to repaint our son's room, but he has textured clouds on his walls that we need advice on how to remove.
You will need to sand the textured areas. Once they are smooth apply a coat of primer before you paint. The paint store can tell you which primer to use. They are different for oil base or water based paints.
Answer to:
While painting my ceiling the new paint seems to be peeling the old paint off. I'm using a roller with a 1/2" nap. What am I doing wrong?
It could be that you are using a different type paint than what is already on the ceiling, one oil base and one water base. If that is the case you need to use a primer before painting.

Why does my cat love the smell of bleach so much? When I get home from swimming, he goes nuts sniffing and licking my arms and feet.
Bleach contains something which acts as a pheremone to cats. In other words bleach turns a cat on. That's why it is never a good idea to clean an area that a cat has soiled with bleach. It will continue to go back to it.

How can I get my cat to stop waking me up at 4 AM for food when there is food in his bowl already, but he insists on getting me up anyway?
Your cat is not waking you up to be fed. He is waking you up because he wants you to play with him. Cats are nocturnal animals. It isn't a habit you will break so you will need to find the best way to deal with it. First make sure he has plenty of toys around. Do you have a scratching post or tower for him? You might try giving him a good work out like throwing a toy and having him chase it...

You could be suffering from SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) which is not being exposed to enough light. Check it out. It is very prevalent this time of year. Make sure your home has lots of lights turned on and shades up to allow as much light in as possible.

Why do people bother to ask questions on here when more often than not
they're met with ridicule and misunderstanding? AGGRAVATING.
Abuse seems to go hand in hand with questions and answers at times on AB. I think it makes a difference which categories you are posting in as well. Some categories are just ideal for those idiots who are here to cause an uproar whenever they can. You need to acquire a list of friends whom you have something in common with and then go to their questions whenever you are on. You avoid a lot of...

I am usually o.k. with a difference of opinion. Let's face it. It would be a pretty boring world if we all had the same thoughts and opinions. It also makes a difference on how they disagree. You and I have differed a couple of times in our opinions but it was done with respect. Unfortunately eveyone does not respond the same.
Answer to:
how do cats shorten their BACK toenails???
Since cats use their back feet to propel themselves their back nails probably become filed down without us seeing it happen, especially if they are outdoors and climb trees, fences, etc. Tips of nails or the sheath will also fall off when they get to a certain length so by using them as a spring board they are most likely release the sheath quicker than the front ones but we don't notice it....
Answer to:
Im 21 and not allowed to be independent, my parents even treat me like im 9, is this normal? or am i abnormal? or what?
The answer to this is partially cultural I think. Some cultures will not let female children live independently until they are married. If you live in your parents home and don't pay board and don't have a job, then you are bound to abide by their rules and regulations. That is not a cultural thing. That is called fair.

I don't agree entirely with you Rosie. I think you can use the word as an adjective without being cruel. If you were comparing two people would it be wrong to say that "in comparison, Billy is slightly retarded in his development in medical studies compared to John". I do however agree that when it is used as an insult it is ignorant.
Hmmmmm maybe that means I agree LOLOLOLOLO

I have forgiven the unforgivable (I think) but that doesn't mean that I now like that person or have forgotten what they did. The foregiveness is for me so I can move on, not for them.

Cats are extremely clean and tidy animals. No cat will go to the bathroom other than the litterbox unless there is a problem. They can't talk and this is how they communicate. It could be a physical problem hich causes him pain to go to the bathroom he will associate the litterbox with pain and avoid it. Or it could be that the litterbox wasn't cleaned. They need a clean litterbox at all times....

Why does my 17 year old cat drink a lot of water? He seems happy and contented. He has spent his entire life indoors. Could it be kidneys?
Kidneys are often the first thing to have problems in elderly cats. If this is something new then I think you need to take him to a vet. Considering it is a male, you are fortunate that he is taking in lots of fluids. Male cats have a tenedency to develop crystals and one of the preventive measures is to make sure they drink lots of water which isn't always easy to do. So if this is not unusual...

Is there any type of diet I can follow for my cats that might make the smell of their urine a little less strong?
Many of the expensive brands of cat food which have natural ingredients help with the smell of faeces.

If they are on a dry diet, you need to introduce some canned food.

There aren't any ways you can change his opinions but you might work on your own. Perhaps he isn't who you thought he was when you fell in love with him. Perhaps there are other features or character flaws you will discover the longer you are with him. What you fell in love with and what you are left with are two different things in my opinion.

I don't have a problem accessing the friends activity. What I have a problem with is scrolling through all the info that is now included in the Friends activity. Before we could view the questions our friends posted. Now they show all the quesions they post as well as all the answers they give. Its more information than I want.

Answer to:
what can it mean if your cat is breathing very heavily, and seems as though hes gasping for air?
That it needs to be seen by a vet as quickly as possible. Do not waste time and take it immediately.
Answer to:
Where do birds go at night and what do they do? Do they sleep? This is a serious question, not Hollywood Squares. Please.
I can't believe someone asked this. I was wondering about this recently. Where do they go and where do the squirrels go when they die? I live beside a park. There are hundreds of squirrels but the only time I have ever seen a dead one is if it happens to get hit by a car. So the answer to your question is I really don't know but I will be interested in what others say.
Answer to:
How much does it cost to have a cat's toe amputated?
To much to make it feasible even if you want to torture you cat which amputation would be!
Answer to:
For an apartment cat, do I need to grow grass for him,or does he get the "green" he needs from his cat food?Other cats go eat grass.He cant.
Cats do not need grass if they have a good balanced diet. Two of three of my cats can't digest grass. They eat it and throw it up immediately. It is not necessary.
Answer to:
How can I entertain my cat? He seems bored until my son gets home from school. He has toys, but still is bored with me. Suggestions?
He may have toys but will prefer having interactive toys with you. Also you can get him a window seat to look outside. If you are too high up to see birds or traffic, if you have a balcony put a bird bath out there. Hopefully it will attract something the cat can watch.

Answer to:
Is there such a thing as a treadmill just for cats? My kitty seems bored and is getting a little plump, as he's inside all the time.
There isn't a treadmill per se but there are way to get your cat to exercise. Get him toys which he can chase for one thing. Get a good high cat tree or cat house for him to run up and down. The best exercise is to get another cat and let them play together.
Answer to:
Cats and hairballs: What's the fix?
This choice is not quite correct. Any malt flavored hairball remedy is not a laxative. It is a coating that lines the stomach making hairballs less likely to develop.

Answer to:
I'm mingling an adopted feral cat with our existing cat. How long should I wait before I remove the second kitty litter and have them share?
Cats should always have their own litterbox as well as their own dishes and bowls. It prevents territory feuds. I would like to give you credit for managing this. It is very difficult to socialize a feral cat let alone get it to be civil to an pet you already have.

How many years does it take a piece to be an antique?
An item is considered a genuine antique once it has reached 100 years old. There are variances which can depend on region and item. Things that are 50 - 100 years are generally considered vintage or sometimes collectibles.

Is a 21 year old protagonist too old for a Young Adult novel?
In my opinion no. Kids can still relate to someone that age and even identify.
Answer to:
When writing novels, do writers write them one at a time? or do they write multiple stories at a time? if you write, what do you do?
I have never heard of an author who could write multiple books at one time. You might be able to do that with a technical type book but not a novel. You need all of your creative juices for one project at a time. It becomes almost a mind set so there is little room for diversion.

Answer to:
I have a kitten but our daughter is allergic to her. Do you think keeping a pet in the garage is ok or should i find a home for her?
Please, please find a home for her. It is cruel to leave a cat in the garage. First of all it will get lonely and eventually will become so removed from humans that it will more than likely become vicious. You are not doing your daughter or the kitten any favors by choosing to keep it in the garage. What would be the purpose of keeping it if it can't be your pet?

I have heard that it can happen. Apparently the color gene can come out every 5 or 6 generations. There was a famous white movie star years ago who had a black baby. Her husband left her despite her pleas she had not cheated. It was a huge court case, experts were called to testify and that was when people first became familiar with this rather rare phenomenon.

Are camels more obedient than horses?
It is my understanding that camels are very stubborn and mean spirited. They spit when they are upset and will not co-operate unless they feel like it. Not unlike a donkey. I think a horse would be more obedient for a good trainer than a camel.

If in 6 years he hasn't realized his abuse bothers you then he doesn't care much about your feelings. I would look for someone who respects your more than he does and values your opion and feelings.

You can avoid the mess by putting the bowls inside a tray that has an edge around it. At least if it spills it will be contained within the frame of the tray.

This could be caused from the type of dish you are using to feed him. If it is plastic, please get rid of it immediately and get a china or metal bowl.

I realize that depending on the climate, kittens will drink more but I'm actually asking bout the normal amount of water dailyand how much is too much.
No sure if your concern is too much or too little. Cats should always have access to a fresh bowl of water 24/7. They also get moisture from canned food. I don't know of a cat that can drink too much water. If it is something that is non-stop, then there could be something going on biologically that needs attention. For instance some cats that have certain conditions will drink constantly....

The balcony is more dangerous than the leaves. Cats do not have depth perception. They don't realize they aren't on ground level and could easily go over or through the openings. The majority of cats in treatment at a vets suffer from broken limbs due to falling from a balcony, especially the 2nd and 3rd floors up.

Until a few years ago I have only ever owned female cats. That's a lot of cats and they were usually affectionate, lap cats. Then I got Toby. He is the most affectionate, laid back cat I have ever seen so if you were to judge from my experience the answer would be absolutely yes.

I got a 3-4 month old kitten a couple weeks ago and she has peed in my bed 3 times, she is litter box trained and I don't have any other animals. The pee hasn't touched my bed and the blankets have been washed. She pees while I'm petting her... any ideas?
I agree with Mister Sister. I think you have a nervous cat that is trying to tell you something. Does this kitten have a place to get away from the 2 year old when it is feeling overwhelmed or threatened? Normally cats will urinate outside the litterbox if there is something physically wrong with them, usually a urinary problem which hurts them to urinate so they associate the litterbox with...

How can I keep stray cats out of my flower beds?
Schonberg has the best answer to keep cats away from pretty much anything. Most hate the smell of citrus. You can use oranges, lemons, grapefruit (peels or sections) You might also want to spray the area with some citrus scented air spray. Also citrus scentred soap works for a little while too. Good luck. Please don't use anything like cayenne pepper or moth balls that will harm them...

My 4 month old kitten is biting like a little mofo! His teeth are so sharp and it hurts. He attacks my arms/ hands sometimes my feet. If I push him away he just comes back with a vengeance. How do I stop him from doing this?
Are you playing with your kitten using your fingers, hands and maybe feet too. You have to stop doing that if you are and get it some toys. Kittens need to bite and scratch. Biting is one way they strengthen their teeth. It's a natural instinct but a cat needs to associate your hands with something that brings it pleasure, like petting and food. It should not associate your hands or...

Why does my older cat hiss and attack my younger cat after he arrives home from the Vet?
All who said it is because your younger cat is carrying the scent from the vet (it doesn't matter what the scent is from) are correct. Try wiping your older cat down with a towel or even sock and then wipe the other cat down with the same thing and vice versa. Also try putting a couple drops of vanilla at the base of their tail. It helps neutralize the odor. The sooner they smell the same,...

Where is the logic behind being unable to sleep on a particular side of the bed? My partner is defiant that the quality of his sleep will be effected. How does the location of the edge of the bed have any bearing on the actual space that is inhabited?
It is probably psychological. Some people got used to sleeping on one side or the other, waking up the same way every day and prefer what is familiar. On another note if you believe in Feng Shui which is the placement and direction of things in your home they believe very strongly that sleeping in certain areas of your home make a huge difference on the quality of sleep and you luck.

It would depend on the how close a working relationship I had with the person.

If I were closer to the person it could be $20.00 or less. Never more. Inexpensive does not mean cheap and with my gift giving there...

I think their name/avatar are removed from Friends but they don't know it unless they notice it is gone which is a problem. I recently noticed someone's avatar was no longer on my Friends list and I am wondering if it is a AB glitch or if they defriended me. I would like to ask but in case they removed me as a friend I would not want to embarrass them.

If you know they drink wine you can get a nice basket with wine and h'ordeuves. Do not spend more than $20.00 - $25.00 combined...

I am not sure what you mean by a button down but if it is something to wear that is much too personal to be giving to the wife of a boss, especially one you have not known for long. Better to get something less personal but thoughtful. Find out what she enjoys or what hobbies she might have and get her a book or something like that.

He would not want to not pay attention because he knows if you end up in court you can prove you tried to contact him. Good luck.

Shouldn't AB have a "GIFT SHOPPE," where ABers could redeem some of their earned points for gift items, such as coffee mugs, T-Shirts, bumper stickers and other AB LOGO items? What's the "point" of having them, if you can't use them to trade for things?
YES!!!! VOTE MENSAN FOR PRESIDENT OF AB!!!! I love that idea and will support you in your campaign to bring it to members of this wonderful site.

Answer to:
Do you guys answer questions that were asked 2 years ago, write comments etc?
I do sometimes but when that happens it is a mistake. I don't bother with old questions because I figure for the most part the person who asked probably isn't even here any more. I prefer current questions.

I have a hard time clipping my kitten's nails. Is there a easy way?
Here is the best trick with instructions I have ever seen for clipping your cats nails. It is pretty much foolproof and the pictures show how to do it properly. I use it all the time. They use clothes pegs and I know that sounds strange but take a look and you will see for yourself. It's remarkable.

Why is it when a question is posed, people automatically think it's refrence to you
I don't have an answer for you but I have thought the same thing. Someone posted about giving a baby up for adoption and everyone really gave that person a hard time. I reread it and no place does it say they were considering it themselves. Very strange. Good question I will be intersted in seeing some answers.

How do I remove arcyrilic paint from a shirt?
I am sorry to tell you, you won't. Acrylic paint is something you only want to use while wearing paint clothes. Sorry. What I have done if the paint is a tiny drop or speckle is take a colored marker the same color as the material and cover it.

But Rosie how would we evolve if we only believed what we already think we know and never associated with anyone but those who thought like we do never willing to take anything else into consideration? Isn't it important to listen to other viewpoints in order to get a better handle on understanding. Sorry I didn't mean to answer a question with a question but I guess I did didn't...

My poodle is losing her teeth due to old age, and is finding it hard to eat dry food, but canned food makes her sick. What can I feed her?
Thanks in advance.
How about some boiled chicken or even beef. It might be soft enough for her to eat but pure enough not to upset her stomach. Keep in mind no matter what you may choose to feed her, if it is a differnt type of diet her system needs time to adjust to it. Vets usually recommend slowly introducing new food mixed with the old diet. Can you give her a little of the dry food mixed with some of the...

Once when I was in college and worked at a summer resort. I was terrible. Dropped food on everyone so they moved me to the golf hut to caddy but then I lost everyones golf club covers. I think they ended up paying me to stay away from their customers.

How come some people here get such high ratings for such simple questions? What's the deal with that?
Part of the reason could be the number of friends the person who posted the question has. Friends are often the first to answer your question and if you have a lot of them on your list it just adds up.

What gets on your nerves the most that other people do?
ONe of the most annoying things for me is when people have a nervous laugh. They laugh at the most improper times. I work with someone and she laughs automatically after every thing someone says. I suspect it is her way of letting on she understands what was said but it drives me nuts.

Severe pain in right hip 4 a week.Hurts the most when I stand & walk from siting for a long time,& when I wake up in morning.Pain is above my butt at the back.When it's the most painful, Its unbearable to walk up the stairs or just walk. Possible reasons?
Pinched nerve. Probably sciatic nerve. It is very painful. Stay off your feet as much as you can, apply heat when possible. Unfortunately if that is what it is you have to wait it out. Good luck.
Answer to:
When I was younger, my mother overheard me tell my girlfriend I loved her (my girlfriend). My mother then told me (any time she heard me say it) that I didn't know what love was. She was rather nasty and mocking. I was 16. Was she right?
Not in my opinion. I think she should have understood that you were in love at the time. It may not be the everlasting kind of adult love we go into when we plan on getting married but for a 16 year old it was very real.

If a person was looking for a complete textual list of Canadian Federal & Provincial laws, where would one look? Could such a thing be purchased? I'm assuming so?
First I think these would come from two different sources, one for Federal and one for Provincial. Provincial government have a bookstore which carries all of its publications. You might try doing a search on government publications if you haven't tried that already and see what comes up. Hope this helps.
P.S. I am also thinking that you could go to a library and see what they have and...

I think hoping people will fail is such a negative emotion that it takes a big toll on the body/mind/spirit. Hoping people will succeed is very positive and because of that is much better for you. What do you think?

Lesson for today...the sad/lonely/miserable/mean people reach out and try to make others miserable just like them. Happy people don't do that. Do you agree?
I think there are exceptions to every rule. Not all sad, lonely, miserable and mean people inflict their misery on others. Maybe mean people do. Happy people probably do it a whole lot less but I think that even happy people can get ticked off and have someone push their nasty button at times.

How would you feel if AB deleted all comments not directly connected to the question asked?
This is really an interesting question and gives one pause for thought. Many of the comments should be deleted in my opinion but on the other hand this is often the only way we have to communicate with friends on AB so I don't think I would like to see the comments gone entirely. Great question!

Is chocolate poison for a dog?
Please, please do not give chocolate to your dog or cat. It is true you may do so successfully with a small amount and it won't affect them. However there is a chance that one of those times the chocolate will hit the immune system at a vulnerable time and you will have either a very sick pet or a dead one.

What age is too late to decide to give your baby up for adoption?
If I were trying to make that decision I would think back to the earliest memory I have. Probably around age 3. I don't know if that is the norm but I would think after a child is old enough to develop memories of who was in their life then it is in their best interest to try and keep them with you. Are you positive they would be happier without you in their life? If times are difficult...

Is all the news coverage on Annie Le's murder due to the fact she was a grad student at Yale or because it might be a crime of passion?

Executor of will is going against what is stated in will
It can depend on where you live and what the laws are. An executor is supposed to "execute" the wishes of the deceased. If they do not they can be sued. If your name appears in the will you have a good chance of receiving what is yours but you will need to get a lawyer to fight them. In some states, it doesn't matter if your name is included if you are a blood relative. Certain...

Cats do not need to be bathed like dogs. They bath themselves unless they get into something which needs to be washed off. If that is the case with yours I would suggest you wipe it down with a a damp or wet facecloth or towel. Do it quickly and get it over with because it is unlikely you will get a second chance.No soap. Remember what you put on them they will injest when they lick their fur....

My boyfriend wants to go to a festival thats three days and two nights long, i cant go with him because i have to work but hes going with his friend thats a girl that he used to like right before me and him got back together. do i have a right feel upset?
Absolutely. I would not want my boyfriend to go away for 3 days with any other woman. The fact that he was interested in her before makes it worse. I would keep wondering if during the 3 days he may decide if he likes her again.
