My grandma wants a pet. Since she’s from another country and speaks very little English, she wouldn’t know how to adopt a pet on her own. Should I go to the pound to get her an adult cat of her own, or let my own two cats have a baby to give to her? Time isn’t a problem, because she’s staying the whole summer.
Thanks you.
I have a 2-year old calico and she is an outdoor cat. While outside she spends her time nibbling grass or meowing helplessly at out of reach birds. I don’t use weedkillers or any chemicals on my grass, so is this behavior unhealthy for her in anyway, or is it a sign of any health problem?
I’ve only had one other outdoor cat in my life and that was when I was younger and didn’t notice details like that.
Thanks.
My outdoor cat, Nero, has recently started losing a lot of weight, stopped cleaning himself, gotten diarrhea and has lost his appetite… I don’t know what’s wrong with him or what it might be… I am worried it is some kind of parasite that can spread to humans and/or other animals.
I would greatly appreciate any input that can be offered.

I have a rescue dog who is part Border Collie and part Hound, so he has extremely strong herding/hunting instincts. He has been out to get my cat since we adopted him almost 2 years ago, but she stays away from him and lives upstairs (where he isn’t allowed). I’m going to college soon and would like my cat to be able to safely go downstairs to be with the rest of my family, but she can’t with the dog behavior. Any tips for dog/cat fighting problems?
I want a cat. Can someone tell me what you’ve got to try and do with cats, like for example would you able to place food in its bowl everyday (yes I would) and can you offer me some facts regarding them and do they scratch a lot?
Thanks a lot.

I want a new pet but I can’t decide between a cat or a dog? Which would you choose?

Hi, I know you have a directory on VetLocator for holistic vets and I’ve used it twice, once for my dogs and then a cat specialist. So I have a question…
My friends call me a health nut because I’m super concerned about my pet’s nutrition. I just keep reading about recalls and such from ‘healthy pet food’ companies and it’s freaking me out a little.
How can I make sure I’m feeding them right?
