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.

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. Take a soft cotton ball or even the end of a soft...

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 have had long hair for 24 years. shall i shave bald?? 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.

Why would the women's luge track be slower and easier than the mens?? I don't know the answer for sure but could it be because a womans frame is lighter weight than a mans? That would have an effect on their speed I think making a longer track more dangerous for a female. Just a guess.

With all the skiing events being postponed @ Whistler due to the weather is it possible the Olympics could run another week or so? I don't think anyone is prepared for that, not the competitors, not the ticket sellers and not the t.v. coverage. They have been shipping in snow and it should not be a problem - I hope.

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.

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.

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...

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.

If you were in the market to buy a car today, would you consider a Toyota? I would definitely consider it. They are under pressure now and know the whole world is watching Toyota. I think their dealers would be desperate to make good deals just to unload some right now. They would also probably give additional guarantees in view of the recall.

I think anyone who uses the word "retard" about another human being is ignorant at best, bigoted/cruel at worst. What do you think? 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

We are told that forgiving is good for the soul. Some things are unforgiveable. So how can people forgive the unforegiveable? I don't know the answer to that question Rosie but I do know that if you don't forgive you end up having it eat away at your soul. 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.

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?

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

It was a huge court case, experts were called to testify and that was when people first became familiar with this rather rare phenomenon.

Kitty has diahrea, rough coat, and is shedding far more than usual? What could be wrong with him? That's like saying I have a cough, sore throat what could be wrong. There are numerous things which could cause this everything from biological to emotional. You are not giving enough information but keep in mind people on AB are not experts. We can't diagnose medical ailments. Diarrhea can be very serious if not treated. You need to get it to a vet asap.

If you are always focused on the negative, does any hope of the positive atrophy and die? Does "if you don't use it you lose it" apply here? I believe if you focus on the negative, nothing positive can come through. Soon you will only see negatives in everything and everyone. Very sad. I used to have a friend like that. He had a brilliant mind but eventually became too much for me to deal with. No matter who you spoke about or what subject you discussed he always had something bad to say.

It is not uncommon for a head of state to wear clothes of a designer when visiting another country or hosting a HOS of another country.

Not only did they never say anything which would lead me to believe Islam is a bad religion, they said many things which made me believe it was a good way to live.

I was at a wedding recently where the vows were changed from "as long as you both shall live" to "as long as you both shall love". Does anyone see a problem with that? When the phrase "as long as you both shall live" was first used people lived a very short life. They didn't expect to be married for 40, 50 or 60 years. I seem to be in the minority here but I believe "as long as you both shall love" is more realistic. I do not believe using it advocates divorce in the least but let's face it, many marriages do end in divorce....

You should have one litter box for each cat and if your cat is going outside the box, it could be because it is being used by others. The formula is one litter box for each cat plus one but many...

At least if it spills it will be contained within the frame of the tray.

Hi i have a 5 year old male cat called shadow and i noticed that he has lost fur on his chin. I know he has lost fur because he is a black cat. He is healthy (i think) but hes had a cold lately.

If it is plastic, please get rid of it immediately and get a china or metal bowl. Plastic bowls hold onto bacteria and often cause skin irritations on a cats chin. Not sure why you think he would lose fur because he is black. Black cats don't lose fur any more than any other color cats.

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....

My 10 year old female cat has started to nibble on the dried maple and oak leaves that are on my balcony. I like to let her go out on the balcony for a little while to get fresh air. Is it safe for her to nibble the leaves? 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. Do not think you cats won't do something like that because you...

Do you feel that if a question has already been asked on AB and that question is 3 years old, it's ok to ask the same question again without it being considered a duplicate? Should questions expire after a certain time and be allowed to be re-asked? Absolutely. There are many questions which could be the exact same question which would bring up a totally different answer than it did 3 years ago. i.e. what is your favorite book, favorite song, favorite t.v. show. It doesn't seem to matter. If someone notices it and wants to flag it, it will become a duplicate. It drives me nuts.

If you were married to someone else and his ex wife wanted him to supply the sperm so she could have a baby would you find that a little uncomfortable? Or turn the tables the other way. Would you like it if he had an ex while with you who wanted him to father her child? Wouldn't you want...

Is it considered rude for my husband to leave me, my daughter and a female family friend at the table in an upscale restaurant to go to the bar (where he can be seen) to get a football score---twice? Unless he left for a considerable time and had a drink with the guys at the bar I would not be bothered by it and I don't believe it was rude. If there were an election on that you were interested in and wanted to know how it was going would you think it improper to leave the table to find out? I don't think so.

I know you're not supposed to leave your kids alone in a car, but what about when you need to get gas? Serious answers only please. I think if you are in an area you feel is safe, it would be o.k. to leave the kids in the car while you quickly run in to pay. They should be within view and the car must be locked. You must not leave them for any extended period so don't plan on shopping while inside.

Does anyone have any good distractions for going through a breakup? I can't give you direct advise but I can give you some food for thought. You pick up the phone when your ex calls because you are doing something familiar to you. Most changes scare people. You are in the habit of being with your ex. Habits are hard to break. You need to break the habit but you will not be able to do that until you find something to take its place. Do not sit around...

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.

Answer to:
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.

Answer to:
If software was invented that could download into your brain the dreams another person was having, but the drawback was that it gave you monster headaches, would you still use it? Guess what? It came through. Thanks Phillis. I think we figured out a way around this problem. What was that question? Oh Yes.......no I don't want other people's dreams I have enough of my own :)

Answer to:
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.

Answer to:
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...

Answer to:
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? I agree 100%. Waste of time hoping for the failure of others. Rosie AB won't let me give you any more points :(

Answer to:
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!

Do you know anyone who is cantankerous and irascible but also totally adorable? No. Unfortunately those I know who fit the description of those two words are either one or the other but not both. Well unless you count Amelia my latest cat I got at the Humane Society. Ten years old. She spent the first 9 years of her life being abused and the last year of her life in a small cage not letting anyone get near her. She has come a long way but still has her cranky days. When...

So don't be surprised when you get another invitation from me.

Answer to:
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. Do a search on Google and take the advice of experts, not people on AB who do not...

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...

Did you ever hate your job? What's the 1st job you ever really disliked? Once for a summer job I started work as a dental assistance. The first patient that spit out blood made me throw up. I walked out the door, never to return. Never could stand the sight of blood and for the life of me I never understood why the heck I applied in the first place.

Should I call and thank my mom for taking me out for dinner tonight Although it isn't really necessary because you probably already thanked her and she probably isn't expecting it, it would be a lovely gesture and make her feel very good.

Answer to:
I have to roast a chicken but don't know how long to cook it, because I can't to the math. 7 lb. bird, stuffed @ 20 minutes per pound. How many hours will it take? 7 x 20 minutes = 140 minutes or 2 hours, 20 minutes. That seems a lot for a small chicken. Better check the recipe to make sure.

Answer to:
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? I think its probably because her murder seems so much more tragic since she had such a great future ahead of her including her wedding day and by all accounts was a wonderful human being who did not deserve to die like she did.

Answer to:
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...

Is it bad to give your kitten a bath????my 11 and a half kitten really needs a bath i was wondering can you????are their any risks??please comment as soon as possible 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....

Answer to:
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.
