Two ways --- go to your local library and in their reference section look for the book called Writers Market 2012 and check through that. Then look for copies of Writers' Digest back issues that discuss agents.

Call the closest three vets and ask if anyone brought in an injured cat of her description in the past 3 days and leave your contact info. Go DOWN to the shelter and animal control and physically look through their animals, the description in their computers may not match yours and the last...

It's called manure. You yourself prepared the fresh ground. It's inviting. Frankly, the cats here use our flower garden, the stuff never kills the plants. If you want to keep them out just get one of those cheap bird nettings from any garden supply stores and put it up over the garden. It...

Cats panicked by noise run, they won't find their way home quite often. Given cars, loose dogs, dogs attacking cats in their own backyards, kids that chase and injure cats, people who pick up 'tame' cats to keep or sell or turn over to animal control, people who poison local cats to get rid of...

Some cats eat so fast the food puffs up in the stomach and makes them sick in the tummy, so they throw it up. The clear stuff is the saliva she used to swallow the food down. If she's acting fine and wants to eat later, she'll be ok. I have not heard about any cat food recall on Iams. They...

I am unable to watch youtube or any other video lately..I don't know what happened. How may I correct that ..please be simple and give a non geek direction. Thanks

Dude, a cat doesn't do that 'just to anger your cats', he LIVES there and it's his territory, which gets walked around several times a day. He may be owned, he may be a stray discarded by an owner, he may be wild born, he may be part of a colony being TNR'd and taken care of somewhere in the...

Yes they get upset, they bond to people and can go into grief and depression when they lose their family. Was your son able to get shots for the allergies?

I've decided at that last minute that I am going to do a 40 mile bike run for charity on the 2nd October its for a good cause and I really want to achieve it but haven't trained at all. Any suggestions appreciated

This cat NEEDS to be seen by a vet. If the styrofoam is causing a blockage in her intestines she's going to die. From your description of her, it really sounds like she's in trouble. She needs to see a vet.

The old 'pinecone in the bed' trick works pretty good. Just one, down in the foot area of the sleeping bag.

Take a good look at him and see if his ears move. If they are not cupping at sounds, he may have gone deaf and is trying to compensate. One of ours lost his hearing about 5 years ago and the constant talking was an indication of it, he could feel his meows, but not hear us and was...

Luke, just go get your neighbor and have them pick it up. Don't be a wuss.

A head collar like the Halti will stop the pulling. The more they pull the more they face you since this controls where the head is. You have to get her to not work herself up. Put her in a sit position and enforce it. She can watch, but not bark and not jump and pull--you need to train her...
