Yeah, that shop I was talking about also had a male with shredded fins in the same tank as a small female. I was buying the female- and I asked the store employee over. She asked me which one I wanted, and I told her the female. She asked which one. And I'm like, no... that's a male. He was...
That's interesting. My yellow crowntail male's back end sinks whenever he stops swimming. I mean how long of a tail is too long for it to start being cruel? My red crowntail doesn't have that problem- he's a big thicker in the body, while the yellow one is more slender and long. He's plenty...
One thing you might want to try is introduce the scratching post to them.
Whenever I get a new scratching post (which is usually carpet) I start scratching on it myself. That usually get's their attention and they start scratching too.
My scratching posts usually get shredded to the point...
I agree, give her some time. My kitty hid for about a day before she came out. I'd offer some treats and let her sniff your hand so she knows you won't hurt her. One of the biggest mistakes people make when they meet a kitty is not to greet them properly by letting them sniff you. She needs to...
Yeah, I was at a petshop a few months ago and I saw a tank with 3 females in there. One was especially large and was chasing and nipping at the other two. I felt sorry for the two smaller females because all they could do was hide in the fake plants.
Good advice Nikki!
I can't get my fishies to eat blood worms though. They will only eat the pellets. I know they thrive on a varied diet though, or at least from what I hear.
To the experts: Are females more active than males? Mine are super active.
Congratulations! I don't know if I could handle being around all the stuff that the physicians asst's are doing. I saw a dead frog today, and immediately I wanted to run away! Good about the tuition and other benefits though!
I can't imagine having more than one clingy cat! Broomhilda is really needy. She shadows me and knows my habits, and wants me to be wherever she wants to go. She's always calling out to me to come to her, to be in certain rooms that she likes. I have a hard time getting her to go where I want to...
I had two cats, then I got a third as a kitten. The kitten and Ezzie took to each other really fast. They kinda slept off together- sometimes they would sleep on top of each other! But I hear about a lot of people who say all their cats sleep with them. So... it's hard to say!
You should get a turkey baster just for cleaning out your tank. That'll help you clean out the fish poop and uneaten food from the bottom for quick cleanings.
The cleaner the water, the less chance that they'll develop fin rot, or other diseases.
My fishy developed an infection not too long...
I now work in a very casual office, and certain people dress anyway they want. I still dress the way I always have, which is business casual- I mean why dress down because other people do? I guess I'm following mom's advice to not jump off a cliff just because other people have!!!
SoftPaws are awsome! I've had them on all my kitties.
Not only do the kitties need to get used to them, but so do you. It takes an application or two to get the hang of it. The first time is kinda awkward, but you'll become an expert after long.
Wearing them doesn't hurt the cat at all. I...
