hello all, I am considering getting a lovebird. I have read conflicting things about keeping one bird only. the one I am looking at is a baby and hasn't mated yet. I understand they mate for life. most of the sites on parrot (lovebirds are a small parrot) keeping say that it is NOT necessary...

if anyone saw the prequel to Lonesome Dove. I wonder if anyone knows why women that were raped by native americans were "ruined" to the point that the husbands who loved them wouldn't touch them anymore. anybody know why?

my friend has a kitten named Xena (Zena) the warrior princess. She is obsessed with gravity, she lays on the counter and opens the dog treats and pushes them off one by one to the puppy. She also nips (with her teeth) the buds off the silk berry arrangements. One at a time, she nips it...

hello all, just acquired #3 and she is full of worms. She was treated yesterday with strongid. I can tell she's passing some, but when do I follow up with the second worming?

hello all, I need help, encouragement and understanding. A distant neighbor has moved and left behind 5 cats! (can't prove it was them, but another neighbor said it was) I am sooo upset. The female that chose my front porch appears to be pregnant. I can't keep her, husband says two is the...

the stray that I have gotten attached to isn't a stray after all. He belongs to a neighbor a few farms over. oh well... but thanks to everybody for sharing my excitement and helping me choose a name for him. his name is already Cisco...

the new stray, who has become very lovey with me is doing something kinda strange. you know how when you pet a cat it will go round your legs rubbing it's face on you ? well, this cat does this extremely fast! I mean, he's almost frantic about it. is this normal? it's almost like he's in...

I've definitely fallen in love with this stray. He's getting neutered and I am officially claiming him. He comes every day and eats and gets his attention. So, I need a name for him. I currently have an orange tabby named Fat Boy (his real name is Tigger) A black female named Cricket. And I...

I've been feeding/watching a stray recently. (it might belong to someone, but eats at my house everyday) It's a young male, not fixed of course. Has had a few scuffles with my two cats, but nothing serious, no injuries. Mostly verbal confrontations. Today he let me pet him-a lot! He's going...

has anybody ever had a cat to purr more like a chirp? while snuggling with Cricket today, she started making this wierd noise, which I assume is her attempt at purring. (she has never, ever purred) it sounded like the little chirp sound they make while hunting, but it was constant like a...

well, pretty soon it will be 29 years! I want to get him an mp3 player...any suggestions? also...he's been getting pretty gabby about the Magic Bullet, the little drink mixer you see on tv...but I've read the reviews, and they aren't very favorable. anybody got one? you like it? or maybe...

I know this sounds crazy, but Cricket, my coal black cat, is shedding grayish white hair! I combed her good with a shedding blade and all the hair was very light gray. anybody else notice this with their black cats? or am I just nuts?

hello all, my sister, who has been diagnosed with early emphysema and has just fought another battle with pneumonia, has stopped smoking. it's been 11 days now, and I'm so proud of her! I'd like to get her something special to commemorate this event, any suggestions?

does anybody know where I could get one? they are so cool, the top is hinged and lifts up like a picnic basket. saw one once, but didn't get to ask the lady where she got it. This one was plastic, formed to look like a woven basket and it was blue. I'd really like to have one.

hello cats and kittens: all these threads on what car/purse/shampoo/makeup have got me inspired to ask you all what can I do about my very dry tight, itchy skin? I love bath and body products but they dry me out too much and sometimes give me a rash on my chest. I've tried everything in...

here's my old fat boy. He's 11 now. Had him since he was 8 weeks.

my sweetie, got her when she was two, she's four now. came in for a little nap...

why do cats tease us? I know they all do this...roll around and meow sweetly and just when you get close enough to pet them, they get up and move! I imagine my cats giggling at me behind my back saying things like "watch this, I'll make her come all the way over here, then I'll move a few steps...

well it's that time of year again. the un-neutered cats are wandering around and howling and beating up my cats, spraying my porch furniture, and causing me lots of worry...constantly checking my cats for absesses etc... please spare me the "inside only" cats speech, if my two could live...

In the past I have tamed and kept feral cats, but last summer I learned a valuable lesson. While offering a piece of hotdog, (yes, I know what they're made of) to a very pretty black feral, she/he took a swipe at me cutting my finger badly and then charged at me. To say I was suprised and...
