I can't seem to get my dogs (or cats) to have puppies (or kittens) What is a way to get the dogs or cats have some? Please, I need tips!

I think that if you just have them become good friends it may work. I've heard that having them snuggle together boosts their relationship too. I think you make it so there is only 1 bed for them to share because then they have to snuggle. I hope that helps!

I don't have a cat either. Do you really have a dog? Or does Louis Farrakhan have a dog? If  you don't have a dog, adopt one from the animal shelter! There's lots of good dogs that need homes.

A "dot" and a "rag". \nNo, seriously, in most cases animals need to be of the same species (not "family" as a previous answer stated) to be able to produce offspring. However some species of the same genus can mate with each other and produce offspring, such as horses and donkeys, lions and tigers, some smaller cat species, dogs and wolves etc. Mostly the interspecies breed is infertile. This possibility is probably not as unnatural as one think but might rather point out that our (scientists') definition of a species as the basic classification unit of life, still contains elements of artificiality.\nYour mentioned species are not known to interbreed, though.

Maybe you can understand it if I put it this way as an EXAMPLE  Pure bred dogs and cats all look alike right, Mutts come in many mutations. Not saying anyone is a animal or one is better than another just the difference in DNA variations.

Call your local animal shelter they can probably help you with resources for people with limited incomes to have procedures done for their cats and dogs. I used to take my dog to the animal shelter for shots because I couldnt afford the $200 tab annually for just rabies and basic vaccinations. Hope that helps.

From what I understand after talking with those who own dogs, yes, it's entirely possible.  I knew someone whose first dog didn't chew on anything, and then the second dog comes into the home, starts chewing on tee-shirts, and the next thing you know the other dog is joining in because it looks like fun.  Have you tried disciplinary techniques for both of them?  The puppy would probably have an easier time being trained out of the bad behavior, being younger and having done that for less time, but the right training should "cure" them both.  Until, of course, the next "fun" idea they get into their heads.

I have to say that Tigers are my fave too! I especially love the Sumatran tiger. I love all of the cat family; the grace, strength, power and intelligence. I wish I could have my own tiger (well behaved of course) but three gorgeous (and often trying) cats is probably enough for me!

You can probably do it as an add on food, but I wouldn't do it exclusively. Pups do need puppy chow, so maybe you can mix some of that in with the puppy chow.

Cats are easier to potty train. cats dont bark. Fish are just boring you cant hold them pet them kiss them or snuggle with them. I would choose a cat any day over dog or fish.

call your local pet assistance league and tell them the cats are de-clawed and you FEAR FOR THEIR SAFETY. they will come get the cats and find new homes for them after getting checked out be a vet. if the neighbors want their beloved animals back they will have to pay P.A.L. for everything. your neighbors don't sound like good pet people.

Try a doggy/kitty day care that would incorporate walking services, training, kenneling and just a friendly environment.\n\nYou can maybe get training and references from volunteering at your local animal shelter.\n\nYour rates may need to be lower than the competition at first but after you get a few committed and satisfied customers you will be able to increase your rates.\n\nI don't know what your neighborhood allows, so you might want to check your zoning rules.\n\nI would pay good money if I could find someone reputable to take care of my animals and wouldn't just feed them crappy food and cage them up for hours on end.\n\nI think whatever you decide to do you'll excel, you stayed at a job for 11 yrs that speaks volume.\n\nStand out from the rest(which isn't that difficult) treat the animals well, and try to restrain from cages and cheap food.\n\nGood Luck!!

I never could understand why it was ok for a guy to have a dog, but a cat ..... well that would make you a wimp or weird.Not in my opinion though.I look at the bigger felines in  both a masculine and feminine way.They are  aggressive and deadly yet graceful and stealth.I guess a house cat could be perceived in the same manner.I hate how cats get treated. My boyfriend use to hate them until we moved in together, now he likes them more than dogs.In fact its gotten so bad that whenever a stray shows up around our house he feeds them and now its starting to look like an animal shelter.I don't find it strange for you or him to like cats. I think its sweet.

the funding is too low to have separate shelters that allow animals.\nplus you;d have too much hassle, what kind of animals, how many what happens if they're not taken care of properly or bite someone.\nand some people are actually terrified of your fluffy (i can't believe it either being an animal lover myself) and this would not be a time in their life to make them deal with that.\n\nbut you could check your local animal shelter, they might be able to work with you for the time you're going to be in your own shelter.  just a thought

OK...here are some "pet facts"...\n\nAbout 60 percent of all households in the United States have a pet. (Source: American Veterinary Medical Association)\n\nAbout 60 million dogs and about 75 million cats are owned in the United States. (Source: Pet Food Institute)\n\nAccording to the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy (NCPPSP), about 65 percent of pet owners acquire their pets free or at low cost.\n\nThe majority of pets are obtained from acquaintances and family members. About 15 to 20 percent of dogs are purchased from breeders, 10 to 20 percent of cats and dogs are adopted from shelters and rescues, and 2 to 10 percent are purchased from pet shops. (Source: Ralston Purina and NCPPSP)\n\nAt least 20 percent of cats are acquired as strays. (Source: NCPPSP) Many strays are lost pets who were not kept properly indoors or provided with identification.\n\nMore than 20 percent of people who leave dogs in shelters adopted them from a shelter. (Source: NCPPSP)\n\nThe cost of spaying and neutering a pet is less than the cost of raising puppies or kittens for one year.\n\nThe average cost of basic food, supplies, medical care and training for a dog or cat is $400 to $700 annually.\n\nAbout 75 percent of owned pets are neutered.\n\n\nAll data are ASPCA estimates unless otherwise indicated.

2 dogs?  in 1 room in a house?   sounds like a bad situation to me... can't you leave them at a friends house?   I don't think you will be able to stay long with two dogs...I'm sure they are not happy about that - why be an irritant? \n\nCheers!

Well as an devoted animal lover I would say don't kick them out, HOWEVER!  If there is an odor and the dog barking all the time, I think they are not responsible pet owners and yes you can draw up a new lease and give them 30 days to sign it without the pets, (which I doubt will happen), or move.  Remind them that you said in your verbal agreement as long as you didn't smell them, which you do and the dog is barking all the time.  OR if you want to continued with the same renters and can take the odor and barking, you can always raise the rent for your inconvenience or ask for more of a deposit? for the possible clean up you'll have when they move out.  You would never know I have 2 cats.  Good luck.
