What should you do if the shop says your 2000 Metro with 155k miles needs a new cat converter and 02 sensor but that's expensive and it runs fine?

My sense is that these components last somewhat longer than first anticipated, probably because of the leaner mixtures we're using, and the no-lead gas. It can be expensive. But you probably could change out the oxygen sensor yourself. It's usually accessible, and it ain't brain surgery. The converter is another matter. Good Luck i had a metro with 250000 with original convertor and 02 the convertor is built into a section of pipe you get the whole thing for 150$ and replace it with four bolts and believe it or not the bolts usually are removable without having to use a torch

Used Frontline for dogs by mistake on a cat can it be lethal?

It depends how much you gave your cat.

If you gave your cat more than 1.00ml then you could be overdosing your cat and you should contact a vet.

Cats are only supposed to have 0.50ml

Dog Frontline is the SAME thing as Cat Frontline, just the dosages are different.

The only danger is overdose.

Is cat food safe for dogs?

"No, dogs can eat cat food too, especially tunas are good for dogs"

Someone else gave this answer to the question, and truthfully, it's just wrong. Dogs can eat tuna, and other fish if it's in the dog foods, however food made for cats, especially their wet food can make a dog ill. The proof of it, my dogs have both been nicking the cat food and have diarrhea as a result. Food for cats should be given just to cats, however not all dogs will get sick from cat food, it depends on the dog.

Stick to foods made for dogs. If your dog does get sick from eating food which they shouldn't eat it is always best to not let them eat for a day, then give them very bland food the next 24 hours before resuming their usual diet. You can get bland food from veterinary practices and many pet shops. Or your vet may recommend a bland diet of rice with a bit of lean, boiled ground beef, feeding small amounts at a time.

Cats require a diet higher in protein than dogs, so their food can be harmful to dogs since too much protein can result in damage to the kidneys. So only give your pet the kind of food made for that pet, as in cat food for cats, and dog food for dogs. And never give your pets bones of any kind to eat.

The bones can splinter, resulting in injuries to their mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach and intestines, sometimes even being fatal. They can also choke to death on the bones, too.

How do you remove a chip from a cat?

You take said cat to your vet who will ask why you want the chip removed and you'll more than likely have to prove that the cat is yours. If they agree to remove the chip then they'll have to sedate the cat then x ray to determine where the chip is. Then it'll be a small surgical procedure to remove it. If you've just adopted the cat you can change the details on the chip with the database for a fee and proof that the cat is now yours.

Why is there a taboo against eating dogs and cats?

In the Western culture, dogs and cats are often kept inside of the home and are considered domestic animals (as pets, not wild). Culturally, they are seen as companions and some even include their pets as part of their family. Therefore, the cultural acceptance of cats and dogs in Western society has elevated their status. They are considered "above" animals that are slaughtered for their meat.

How do you control odors from an outhouse?

Try putting ash down the hole. Also periodic burning of the 'contents' can help if it is permitted in your area.

I don't know about answer one, never heard of either solution. A lot of my mother's people were ridge-running backwoods folk in the mountains of Virginia. When I was a kid, 50+ years ago, and we visited, everybody still using outhouses used powdered LIME.They would have a gallon bucket of lime [bought, in 50 pound paper sacks, at the local general store, or any "feed store"] in the corner of the outhouse, and a small scoop. The last thing one did, before leaving the outhouse, was to sprinkle a scoop [about a cupfull] of lime over the contents of the pit, through the "hole." I'm not exactly sure how it works, but I suspect it is one of two ways. First, the lime is VERY CAUSTIC, and will "eat" the contents of the pit [like acid dissolves cloth or paper]. Or, due to the extremely high pH [12 to 14?] it makes the pH in the pit too high and out of the survival range of the bacteria which create the odors while they are in the process of "digesting" the contents of the pit.j3h. === ===

Is there a stuffed animal with nipples to nurse a litter of kittens?

I have never heard of a product like this - most veterinarians will tell clients with orphaned litters of kittens to settle in for hand nursing and bottle nursing the kittens individually. It is an interesting concept though, so if you are interested in developing one I suggest going for it - it would be a major help to rescue organizations and shelter groups.

Are there any home remedies for cats loose stools?

Not particularly - you can try a little bit of canned pumpkin or beets (no salt or sugar added), but in general you simply get to wait it out. Diarrhea or loose stools in an indoor-only cat is very rare and generally means there is an infection or parasite infestation of the intestines. If it doesn't resolve in a couple of days, or if your cat starts acting very sick, take it to your veterinarian for an examination.

Special Kitty Multi Cat Dry Food -- Is it any good for cats.?

Answer:

That type of cat food is made if you have multiple cats in the household. Such as 3+.

Answer:

However, Special Kitty (a brand by Walmart) is one of the worst cat foods you could buy. If you look at the ingredients list, you'll quickly see why: animal by products (which means heads, beaks, feet, intestines and other "waste" body parts that do not offer much nutrition), grains like corn and wheat are at the top of the list. Grain is used instead of meat because it is cheaper to produce and helps kibble pieces hold together. Cats need MEAT based protein, not PLANT based protein. Cats will often overeat on such lower quality foods because they are not getting all the nutrients they need, which often results in obesity and diabetes.

Corn, Wheat, Cereals and Soy are what cats have difficulty in digesting - they do not provide any nutritional value to the cat whatsoever. Yellow corn, Corn and Wheat Gluten Meal and Soy are also one of the most common causes of allergies in foods. Special Kitty also lists artificial preservatives and colorings which could harm a cat's health.

In 2008, Special Kitty dry cat food was recalled due to potential salmonella contamination after reports of cats dying.

What is a good cat repellant?

One way to keep cats out of your garden is the following: Every time you make a pot of coffee, set aside the used coffee grounds until they are dried out (you can continuously use a plastic container specifically for thisa purpose). One the used coffee grounds are dried out, take them out to your garden and spread/sprinkle them in and around the area where you don't want cats going. The extra benefit of this is that the used coffee grounds have certain nitrates in them that plants love and therefore they are a good fertilizer as well.
