Question by •??????•: Budgie (Parakeet) Questions?
I have a budgie, Angel, who is very special to me. I’ve had him for about two years (got him June of ’08), and he is a very sweet and weird little Albino. He is VERY outgoing, he will fly to you, act like a maniac, pick on the dog, eat with the dog, chase after you (you literally have to run from him) and he never bites, only nibbles. Now, he is a (very recently!) father of three not-even-week-old babies.

He gets along with everyone in my family, and all the pets. I love him so much! I really want him to live longer. He gets cooked corn, green beans, carrots, peas, and a few other veggies. He has never gotten really sick. Angel is a very special bird.

He IS a pet store bird, and he is actually very weird for one. His wings (when clipped, we only did that once) grew back in a week, and we got him young. He is now starting to molt.

Now, I’m wondering, how do I make sure he STAYS healthy and lives a long life? I make sure he has fresh seeds, vegetables, and a good cage. He gets let out for free roam, but well supervised, for ten hours a day, the rest sleeping.

How long can he live if he’s two years? How can I make him healthier (and stay that way…)?

His wife’s name is Emmy, and he is two months her senior, and they have three kids (well, chicks) together and he is a wonderful daddy! He feeds her and the babies, and as soon as he hears them crying, he goes into the cage.

I don’t have pictures of the babies (yet), but here are Angel and Emmy in their small cage when we were in the middle of a flood (they were kept in a small cage because their normal one was damaged)

The white bird is Angel and the green/yellow one is Emmy. Emmy is young in this one because this was when we first got her.

The green is just from a marker, we wrote down the names of the birds on the lower outside cage because they were bundled up, and we needed to know who was who, and it bled through and over the side, but we wiped it up and cleaned it.

So how can I make him live longer? Make him healthier? What other things can I do for him?

Question by lizard S: Seniors and pets non-profit org?
My mom and I have been thinking about starting an organization for senior citizens that own pets. There are tons of health benefits like people that own pets live longer and have fewer hospitalizations. I have lots of research papers that prove this.

I know a lot of people don’t get a dog because they can’t afford it and they are afraid of what will happen to it once they pass away.

I want to start an origination to help seniors in my community afford the basics of pet care (vaccinations, food, spay and neuter, grooming, training etc) and provide adoptions if the person passes away.

I am trying to get a feel to see if people think this is a good idea. Please tell me what you think before I start working on corporate sponsorship.
I am thinking of more like bi-monthly fairs were people could bring in the pets for all these things and have small classes to teach the seniors.

Question by melissa: Cat PTS for behavior?
I am considering putting my 4 1/2 year old healthy cat down because her behavior is terrible. I do not know what to do! I feel awful putting a healthy animal down but.. she’s just wired wrong. She attacks unprovoked. I’m talking just walking by.. not cute chasing your feet crap she attacks claws extended she bites to break skin. Cute stuff.. sleeping in the bathroom sink. Not so cute when you’re out of the shower and changing and she literally lunges with the claws with your back turned to her. She’s constantly attacking my poor 16 y/o cat. I can’t even let my great dane be unsupervised with her! She got a claw in her eye and cost me 950 dollars at the e vet. Dane is uber gentle with her and sweet and leaves her alone (maybe tries to sniff her butt here and there). My older cat leaves her alone. My boyfriend and I continue to try to play with her (with that 9 ft da bird thing there is no safer way to play) soothe her psycho and talk sweetly and gentle pets, which works sometimes but always turns aggressive..I really just get to the point where I want to just put her food down and try to avoid her cute crazy ***.

I LOVE her and feel responsible for her, like I would any animal I bring into my home so this feels like giving up. She’s fed a high quality diet (switch between Orijen/Arcana) She’s had urine, fecal and THOROUGH bloodwork several times (as recent as 2 mos. ago seeking cause for behavioral issues) she is spayed. UTD on shots and had a dental recently. My vet requires her to be sedated for grooming, she gets matts and you just can’t even touch her with a brush. She would make a lovely outdoor cat perhaps but this area is not safe at all living near a major interstate. I’d rather give her a gentle goodbye then see her never come home and wonder if she got run over..or find her dead =(

I know rehoming is maybe an option if I could find a good enviornment, but with ALL the cats who need homes who will want mine? She’s a liability, she should NOT live with children under 12 under any circumstance. I would need to find someone who understands her behavior, and understands that she bites and scratches. They hurt and it’s an infection risk so please don’t tell me to just rehome her to anyone..my vet thinks she is territorial, defensive, play aggressive etc.

Any suggestions? Should I just put up with this… and hope that in 10 years she calms down? I feel like this route is also likely.. cause I feel horribly guilty about putting a healthy animal to sleep like I said. I just cant imagine living with all these scratches and bites forever, not being able to groom her or take her to the vet without sedating her… and I feel so bad for my poor senior cat who just wants to eat, sleep, and be left alone!! She has arthritis and she deserves some peace.

What would you do? Please understand that it breaks my heart to consider this. I am crying as I type this because it just sucks. I do my best to take care of her well and I am not abusive, I love all my pets dearly and I am not just trying to dump her off to someone else or PTS cause she’s inconvenient for me.. so please don’t flame me.
I appreciate your thoughtful responses. I have tried some ‘natural remedies’ flower essences and things like that with little-no change. My vet has mentioned euth as an option but it sounded so ridiculous and quite frankly I was angry when she said it…I’ve had cats all my life and never had any issues like this. She’s also referred me to a DVM behaviorist, but noted, as you said, it’s very expensive and cat behavior is very difficult to change. I am still considering it..but I don’t see what would help. I reward her immensely for all calm and gentle behavior…but it’s obvious she can’t help it!! I don’t get mad at her (frustrated of course), I am just very sad we’re all living like this. I keep her separated from my other pets when we’re not home…if I can round her up to get her in my bedroom. Many times I can’t. Still hanging in there.. I’m glad others have heard of this kind of cat agression

Best answer:

Answer by Diana
this isn’t always necessary, just keep trying to work with her and reward her when she is good but tell her off when she is naughty. if you do not have the time or can no longer cope, then consider handing her in to a rescue centre as they will work with her and see if she is suitable for re-homing or not. this way she will have another chance in life and who knows how she might turn out.

just don’t give up and give her the best possible chance you can by giving her that second chance im sure you’ll choose the right thing to do. i wish you all the best x
