I picked up a Pioneer Pet Raindrop Fountain ( ), as it had good reviews and was recommended in multiple places. I am noticing that it is very loud - the pump vibrates quite a bit. I'm wondering if anyone else has had this experience with it or knows a good way to solve it?

Not sure which forum to put this in... We have an insect problem in our yard, and I'm wanting to put down insect killer granules, which are bifenthrin granules. I know for a fact that we have cats and dogs in our neighborhood that go through yards... is bifenthrin going to harm them in this case?

I actually know a fair deal about ants (I used to keep Formicariums, and happened to keep these ants in particular). I'm infested with Camponotus pennsylvanicus, which is the common North American Black Carpenter Ant. Sprays will kill ants but usually won't prevent them from coming back (other...

Hey there. Long time no post. First off, my boy cat Blitz is still tilt-headed, and has no balance. Haven't been able to afford to see a neurologist about it :( We moved into a new apartment-house, but it appears to have a small carpenter ant infestation. I wanted to invest in both perimeter...

Our current vet is going to put him on a two week dose of antibiotics, as since his ear has a lot of earwax coming out, she believes he may have an inner ear infection that is causing swelling and generating fluid, pushing out the earwax and affecting his balance. If that doesn't help, she is...

We're originally from Chicago, and we had a great vet there. Now we are on the East Coast, and it is much more difficult to find good and caring vets. One thing I notice is that he always shakes his head and sometimes scratches at his ear, like he feels like something is in it.

We've had trouble finding vets since we moved. Most vets are not accepting new patients. His overall health has gotten better. He's acting like a cat, eating, running, playing, but his head is still tilted (roughly 35-40 degrees), and he has no balance. I can tell that it depresses him when he...

Three weeks ago, I was at work when I got a call from my girlfriend saying that Blitz (our male cat), who is nearly 2 years old now, couldn't walk, and his eyes were shooting back and forth. I went home and brought him to the vet. They said that he had vestibular disease and that there was...

My girlfriend left a bag of food out yesterday, and I had a swarm (many, many) carpenter ants swarming our apartment. I immediately put my cats in the bedroom (where they have remained since), and sprayed the area with RAID. Unbeknownst to me, RAID contains permethrin, which is highly toxic to...

Yeah, I need to reset it, though I'm worried about her - she refuses to eat or drink without another cat nearby... we separated them throughout the day, then let them out, she immediately ran to his food bowl and ate for about a minute while he was sitting there. Either way... there appears to...

She howls when she's alone and refuses to eat/drink/use the litter box when she's alone... she only really seems comfortable around Blitz, which is odd since she seems terrified of him... if she would eat/drink alone, I'd do that, but she doesn't.

They need to stop. This is the second night in a row where all I heard was hissing and growling, I'm not getting any sleep. Blitz keeps pawing at her, and she defends herself. She's rather skittish... if you move towards her she freaks out... whereas he's adventurous and hyper. She's shy, he's...

He's fixed, she needs to get spayed.

He was a solo cat from when we got him, so from 7 weeks till now. She was never a solo cat. I don't have feliway.

Finally got Blitz a playmate... actually, it's his sister from the same litter. They are both about 9 months old now... he's not reacting too well... a lot of chasing and hissing. Kept us up last night... they'd sleep for 5 minutes, wake up, stare for 5 minutes, chase, hiss, repeat. Any idea...

The breeder said that he will recognize his siblings immediately (despite not having seen them since he was tiny)... I remember reading that they will not remember them at all from that long ago... will they be compatible? He is rather dominating and needy.

Hello, again! I haven't been on in a while, but Blitz is doing well: He's calmed down a lot since and has become a good albeit feisty housecat. However, we noticed when we are not home (my girlfriend and I both work retail), he is miserable. He howls/cries when we are gone and is VERY needy...

Hey there, As you probably know, I have a 11 going on 12 weeks male Siamese wedge kitten. He's always been a hyper boy, but we've found that he isn't really calming down at all... he's been better as far as aggression goes, but he's been... 'odd'. First off, his first toy with us was a rolled...

My habit with kibble has been to moisten it then microwave it for 15 seconds.

Short post, sorry... Should I be feeding my kitten ground beef, cooked ground beef, or just kibble? I've been reading that ground beef is good for them, and after working with beef, he incessantly licks then bites my fingers...
