My cats know their names, is it unusual for a cat to know their name?

I'll get some tomorrow. What can I give him to eat? Dry food, Tuna or chicken scraps

About a month ago my cat bit me. My finger swelled up for about a week then it went down. My finger just now is starting to swell back up and it is painful. Any ideas as to why this might be happening? I don't have health insurance to see a doctor.

I currently have a 7 year old morkie maltese dog. I really really really want a yorkie, along with my sister, and kind of my brother. We saw a really cute yorkie at the puppy store yesterday and she was really cute but we didn't get it. My parents are afraid our 7 year old dog is gonna be jealous of the new one and get sad. And they say school is starting soon and they don't think it's the right time. But I really want one now I feel that we should get one before summer ends so we can get used to it. But how do I convince my parents!?? Especially my dad usually he's so easy with things but this he's like eh! Please give me advice!

I suffer from PTSD, GAD, Depression and Social Anxiety. I've decided I want to go to vet school and get my doctorate. Question is, it's been recommended I get a Service dog. Is it possible to become a vet and have a service dog? I also wonder if it possible to not have my dog at the practice but have it accompany me everywhere else. Opinion? Thank you.

I have a 9 year old labradane who is my emotional support animal, and is showing symptoms of GI disorder. My mom is refusing to take her to the vet because she doesn't want to pay money. I'm at a loss here and I have no idea as to what to do. I'm 19, but I'm not working and I'm in college. This dog helps me control my panic attacks and comforts me. I honestly don't know what i would do without her. I wish dog's had a longer life expectancy such as elephants. Is there any home remedies I could do?

Mostly of yall are so rude. I asked for advice on how to help my pet, but instead I'm criticized and judged. The only answers I get are, "Your dog is going to die" "you're such a horrible owner" "surrender your pet because they'll be better off without you" And then I'm called stupid, idiotic, lazyass, and etc. I love my pets. I would do anything for them if could, but because I'm asking for advice on yahoo I'm considered an "awful owner" There are other people who treat their pets so horribly, yet I'm judged because I'm unable to pay for the treatment my dog needs at the moment. End of my rant and I know I'll most likely get people like I just spoke about answering this, but negative answers are invalid to me.

Sorry for the dumb question but of course you'd love it. One of my neighbors called the cops because my dog fighting operation was making too much noise. Well what the heck did the idiot expect - there are dogs fighting and it gets noisy between the gamblers cheering and the animals mauling each other.

So my landlord doesn't allow pets like cats or dogs since they have fur, but I really want something to keep me company since I live alone :/ what are some friendly pets without fur?

Best answer: I think it is great. & yes the dogs do enjoy doing it & any thing that pleases their owners. Teaching a dog to run the agility course is not mean or cruel in any way. You are forming a bond that only gets stronger as you work through all the training. Non dog lovers don't understand that this is even possible. You are the dogs whole world & he is totally dependent on you. Unconditional love all through the agility training. If he likes it & you like it, do it all the way.

Best answer: Used to till we had to put him down.

Best answer: Its normal to get mad sometimes. You sound pretty young and kind of immature. I suggest you and your family train your dog so he doesn't bite people.

The shelters near me don't usually have a dog that suits my needs/wants. By far the most common breed are bull-type terriers which I am not really interested in. A lot of the dogs advertised by the shelters say things like "experienced dog owner required" or note some sort of behavioural issues which require experienced attention. I don't plan to get a dog yet but do want to in the future when the time is right. I do plan to look at adopting first of course. But from browsing the past several months, I haven't really found any dogs near my area to adopt that are suitable for me / my knowledge (I'm a first-time owner, so taking on a more difficult dog obviously isn't a good idea). So if I cannot find one to adopt, I plan to buy from a reputable breeder (not a BYB, to be clear). But this seems to be looked down upon?

I was thinking something big like an English mastiff that could tear their thieving kids apart.

I walked into my bathroom and saw my dog peeing into the toilet, and he flushed the toilet and walked out. What should I do????
