Resolved Question: SURVEY: Do you like Wikipedia?
(Mon, 16 Jan 2012 22:46:34 GMT)

It is often called the housecat,[6] or simply the cat when there is no need to distinguish it from other felids and felines. Cats are valued by humans for companionship and ability to hunt vermin and household pests. Cats have been associated with humans for at least 9,500 years,[7] and are currently the most popular pet in the world.[8] Owing to their close asso

Resolved Question: Cat Scratch and then? (afraid of rabies-disease)?
(Mon, 31 Oct 2011 22:57:44 GMT)
Hello guys,
I know there are so many questions and answers about it but my question is little different. On my street, there is a cat which I see it very often. Today, it scratched me from my hand and the cut was filled with blood but it did not bleed. I am afraid of having infected '' bacteria or rabies'' from the scratch. 2 hours later, my body is not quite well, I feel terrible. I mean, I have an ache in my right back of my head which worries me a lot. Also, started to remove gas from my b

Resolved Question: Odds of ALL Leukemia relapse after 12 years?
(Sat, 24 Sep 2011 03:53:19 GMT)
I've been in remission for 12 years after receiving chemotherapy for ALL Leukemia; I was diagnosed when I was 4 years old and entered remission when I was 8 years-old and was released from my Oncologist's care when I was 18 years-old.
I'm a junior in college now and have been sick with nausea and headaches (with high fevers) for the past 9 days. My blood tests show no elevated cell counts or anything out of the ordinary; but, when I was first diagnosed, my tests came back normal which is why

Resolved Question: My cat has a pooping problem, and if she doesn't stop she will have to go. Help?
(Wed, 07 Jul 2010 04:32:36 GMT)
My cat is 9 or 10 years old. We adopted her at age 1. For some reason, she keeps pooping on the floors of our basements. It has been going on for a couple of years now, maybe even longer, because in our recent move we found a bunch of hidden piles behind things. The house we are now in has new carpet, and she has started pooping on it. The litter is cleaned at least once a day, if not twice. We have a kitten we found a while ago, and now two litters. At the other house, there were about 4 spre

Resolved Question: My dog got bitten/scratched by a cat on the tongue?
(Wed, 23 Jun 2010 09:28:25 GMT)
It was a stray cat, and we're not so sure whether it has rabies or any other kind of disease or not.
We've cleaned the wound out, but can we use peroxide? Wouldn't it be bad for her if it is in the mouth? Is it a problem that is necessary to discuss with a personal vet?
We're not very sure whether it was a bite or a scratch, though, as we were not close to her when it happened
Please let me know as I am very worried about my dog's health.

scared of noise but not people.

My neighbours animals have been a problem since I moved in here. The dog that barks 24 hours a day has been ticketed twice by animal control and she seems to be willing to pay the fines rather than stop the dog. He starts at 5 AM and has been outside barking for as long as 7 hours without a let up.
