Patton (Domestic Shorthair)

By Jess (TF Editor)

Patton (Domestic Shorthair) - gray and black tabby colored catWe adopted Patton from our local Humane Society at a pet store event. He was about 9 months old. We hadn't intended to bring home a cat, but my two young boys were thrilled. My older cat, Desire, was not!

Storing Homemade Pet Treats
Let your homemade treats dry on a cookie sheet at least 72 hours before storing. A coffee can with a screw lid is ideal. If the treats aren't dry enough they will mold.

Today's Questions
Why Is My Budgie Losing Feathers?
My female bird is losing feathers around her back and is beginning to lose them around her neck. She is currently on her 9th egg and made a huge mess in her mating box. I need to know if she's sick or just stressed.
Duck Not Incubating Eggs
My mallard hen and Indian runner have mated. My hen has laid 30 eggs so far. When will she start sitting on them?
Adopted Dog Pees and Poops in His Crate
My husband and I adopted a 2 year old Lab Pit mix about five days ago. Since day 1, he has had issues using the bathroom. I noticed immediately that he was not peeing or pooping outside. We live in an apartment complex and when we took him outside he just spent the whole time sniffing everything. We got a crate (he had one before) and he goes inside it but not outside.
House Trained Dog Peeing on New Carpet
My dog, half Pit and half Shepherd, is 5 years old. We just got new carpets in only one room. She's never peed in the house before until we got the new carpet. Now she's peed at least twice, but only on the brand new carpet. Why?
Cat Keeps Bringing Her Kittens into My Bed at Night
My cat had her kittens around 3 weeks ago, but one sadly died. At around 1 week old I noticed the little girl was breathing very fast. The vet took x-rays and couldn't see anything wrong, but her breaths per minute were high, like 80. The vet gave us some antibiotics, but after a week on the medication nothing changed. Now mama cat brings the two kittens into my bed at night.
