2 month old kitten nursing from non-mother?

I have a kitten who is about 2-3 months old (Yin-Yang). We waited to get ride of her mother and brother after she was weaned and began to eat dry kitten food. I have another cat that is about a year and a half old (Tiger Lily). Tiger Lily is spayed, and not the mother of the kitten. Yin-Yang tries to nurse from Tiger Lilly, although of course there%26#039;s no milk. Tiger Lily lets Yin-Yang suck on her teets, which I find very odd. How normal is this? Do you think Tiger Lily just has a motherly instinct and the kitten is just doing this for comfort?

2 month old kitten nursing from non-mother?
It%26#039;s pretty much normal , and weaned kittens even happen to try to suckle from a tomcat or a dog . anything woolly reminds them of their mother and milk and all this .


It%26#039;s good for both Yin-Yang and her new mom I think , simply because Ying-Yang feels much more secure and calm when she purrs for an adult female and thinks of her as her mom . It actually makes her feel that she still somehow has her mom , which is mentally very much vital for her . Tiger Lily also likes it otherwise she would never let the kitten do all this . so surely she likes it too .


We can not say if she has that motherly attitude towards the kitten or not , but she likes it and that%26#039;s nice . cats are so much complected creatures , and there are still so many aspects of their character that we the humans have not discovered .


Best wishes!
Reply:It%26#039;s normal because I have two kittens now who try to suckle from the mother even though they are eating dry food.
Reply:If it doesn%26#039;t bother the older cat, there%26#039;s nothing wrong with the two of them offering comfort to each other like that. Cats are family oriented, this is normal.
Reply:Get this...I had two male kittens who used to try to nurse off of each other...they would get a clump of hair in their mouth and treat it like a teet. It was the funniest thing!
Reply:sounds like they are just doing it for comfort cats will do things like that not common but not odd
Reply:A lot of animals do that. I think it is their motherly instinct. Sometimes even dogs will act like a mother to a kitten. It%26#039;s strange but kind of sweet.
Reply:Why did to get %26quot;rid%26quot; of her mother?!

Canine cardiomyopathy? Does your dog suffer from this and how old is he/she?

My dog is called Lily. She is a 2 year old Bedlington terrier and two months ago she was diagnosed with dilated cardio myopathy. She developed aschites (stomach fluid retention) and looked like she%26#039;d swallowed a football. Due to her being a Bedlington terrier, prone to copper storage disease, the vet said she probably has liver disease aswell, but I won%26#039;t allow a biopsy due to her heart problem and the dangers with general anesthetic.


She%26#039;s been prescribed Enalapril and Frusemide and eats Hills Science Plan L/D. But she vomits on average once a week, her stools are loose and she turns her nose up at her food most days. Is there a better food she should be on?


She does still love her walks though, and somtimes I forget she is dying when she is happy playing.


But she looks anorexic I worry she%26#039;ll fade away. But I don%26#039;t know whether to prepare myself for that now or in a few months or years?


Please tell me the stories of your dogs and what happened or is happening to them and you..

Canine cardiomyopathy? Does your dog suffer from this and how old is he/she?
I have a rescue dog,about age 13 with cardiomyopathy due to mvd.He is on lasix,enalapril and vetmedin.I feed wellness super 5 senior which is low sodium but a better food than hills.I have also heard wysong now has prescription diets but have not researched it yet.Even rice with boiled chicken may tempt her and is blandHas your dog had an ultrasound of the heart?Yahoo has a group called canine chf which is good for info.good luck
Reply:I have never had a dog with cardio. But you should talk to your vet and find out what it is about the crappy S/D that he is recommending it for. Go to the petfood store and tell the woman what you are looking for.. Is it a low salt diet? Low fat diet or what? find out from the vet and then you can research foods from there.
Reply:I had an Old English sheepdog that had Cardiomyopathy. He was diagnosed at about 6 yrs old and lived to be 12. He also was on enalapril and one other drug which I have forgotten the name of. He did fine on the meds and was playful until the last couple of weeks. Good luck with your dog!

This year I want a different style for my notebook for school. Last year was a big creative collage of Lily Allen. But for this year I want something different, also I was thinking about writing everything in old english letter style, but what more do you suggest, to make my notebook looks fashion, cool???


(one important point: I dont really enjoy stupid hearts with flowers and all that,it%26#039;s too ordinary, I want sth original)


I%26#039;ll thank you

What do u suggest for my school notebook..?
i suggest that you put something you like on it


me for example i like animals so i put a bengal tiger on mine also the letter style is awsome
Reply:Get a bunch of different newspapers and cut random headlines out. Make a collage, and throw in any cheesey advertisements that catch your eye and/or any weird classified ads (personals, especially).
Reply:heaps and heaps of butterflies,their pretty elegant, colourful, and very eye catching [and not in a bad way either]that is if your a girl.


If you do make sure their the sticker ones cause thet give off a 3-d look[if you get the right ones, that is].

Both the tiger... survived the bite? Is this a joke?

THE ORIGINAL NEWS:





[ Zoo staff members show the teeth of a tiger named Lily which bit a four-year-old boy who posed with her for photos at a zoo in Kunming, southwestern China%26#039;s Yunnan Province, Jan. 15, 2007. See photo below:





http://images2.sina.com/english/p/1/2007...





Both tiger and the boy survived the bite. The tiger trainer alleged that Lily%26#039;s been trained for three years and had been tame enough to pose with tourists previously. ]





DID THE BOY BITE BACK THE TIGER???

Both the tiger... survived the bite? Is this a joke?
No it didn%26#039;t bite back. what they failed to mention was that the little boy was the bastard son of superman. The tiger broke its jaw and was in so much pain it shitt out its guts. It survived.
Reply:maybe it means nothing will happen to the tiger, usually they kill them
Reply:its a joke if you laughed when u heard it
Reply:lol good question!!
Reply:no!
Reply:LOL......that%26#039;s a good one to send to the Jay Leno Tonight Show. Ever see that segment where he shows all these off the wall articles %26amp; ads?

Friend issue.?

There are three girls, lily, natalie, and sylvia, who im having big problems with. Two years ago i was very mean and lied to lily and natalie, but last year they said they were over it. Sylvia is best friends with the two of them, but not so much with me. About a month ago I was surprised to here that she talks about me, calling me things like fat and b****y, when I don%26#039;t even know, or talk to her. My two friends, natalie and lily, have never been the same since my betrayal, and have been pretty mean, like they always talk about me behind my back and stuff. Recently there was a party, and they told the story to everyone and finished it with%26quot;and to this day, we are still really mad at her%26quot;. I was so mad, and its mostly natalie whos mean to me. And also, they told me that they forgave me, and they could%26#039;ve told me the truth. So now, all three of them(lily, natalie, and sylvia) talk about me. We all do a dance class, and they always make comments on me, that are mean of course.

Friend issue.?
Ughh, I hate when things like this happen, you think people would get mature, right? Hmm, well first of all this Sylivia girl is jealous of you for what reason I do not know, but I%26#039;m sure there are alot of them. Secondly, she%26#039;s the one who probably dug up the story from natalie and lily and sparked their hurting emotions. So you can basically say, Sylivia is starting this whole thing. I would first talk to Natalie and Lily alone, tell them to stop when they try making a comment, and stop them right there and tell them how messed up this whole thing is, and how you want to be friends with them still and how you thought this was all over, and that your still sorry about the past. Then once you have talked to them two, you need to get to Sylvia and tell her , face to face, to stop spreading stuff about you and messing up your friendships, tell her %26quot;Yea, I%26#039;ve messed up but we%26#039;ve said sorry and put that stuff behind us, now you come along and are messing everything up. What did I ever do to you? blahblahblah%26quot; let her have it, but make sure to not insult her or that gives her a reason to hate. Okay, well I hope everything goes well, good luck and tell us what happens!!





Peace.
Reply:well then you need different friends.


if they do that then there not really worth being best friends with. you should like only talk to them little and talk to your other friends more, they will get the hint and probably stop all the BS and guys will be best friends again.
Reply:Those girls are not real friends. You can%26#039;t make them be nice or stop their mean comments. I%26#039;m really sorry, I think that everyone goes through something like this. Just try to stay away from them and eventually it will get better. They%26#039;re just immature. Good luck *
Reply:One Word My Friend.





Immature.





Simple and easy, I think you need to get some new friends, I really do. You cannot stop those comments, rather than just to ditch them and leave.

Awww.No one should get hurt.I hope you didn%26#039;t mean to hurt the girls feelings in the past (because what come%26#039;s around go%26#039;s around) but ur friends like your other friend better and they think if they stand up for you the other girl will not like them any more its not that they dont like u its because they have more feelings for the other girl and is scared that if they do stand up for u they%26#039;ll lose her
Reply:Don%26#039;t Pay attention to what they say, you have other friends. If they were your true friends they wouldn%26#039;t talk about you. But, are you sure they are talking about you?? Did you hear them or someone else told you they were??? That%26#039;s how rumors start. If they keep talking just have them sit down and talk to them and tell them how u feel.
Reply:if these people are really bugging you go up 2 them and say


your the b***es and that ur guys are the meanest people on earth then make rumors about them and stab them in the back and show them how it feels
Reply:Try ignoring them. If they continue doing this say some nasty things about them too. And if that doesn%26#039;t work and the comments are impaling your skull talk to your school guidance consular.
Reply:i would just ignore them .


seriously i guess that they are immature .


they will eventually get over it .
Reply:well im guessing there not gonna stop so just dump them. their jerks anyway right? i mean they pull a trick on ya and now their taking advantage of it. get rid of them and just hang out with some1 else. GOOD LUCK!
Reply:ooooooo whats the problem
Reply:yeah zzzzzzz. you need to ditch them and find some other friends. these ppl are no longer your real friends.
Reply:their not good friends just face it
Reply:move on,
Reply:I%26#039;m sorry; move on. How is that a question, though??
Reply:I am a guy so I obviouslly dont know how this whole girl thing goes, if you are a guy you fight if someone talks **** about you. Anyways, since you cant fight, first off stop talking with them, they are retarded bitches. Second tell them to **** off and if they dont you will talk to the dean/principal about it. If they continue to bother you mock you talk about you etc, notify the principal and or dean and he/she should take care of it, they wont talk behind your back anymore and if you find out they do go back to the dean/principal and he will most likely contact parents etc. until they stop. Good Luck
Reply:WOW, to tell you the truth, it seems like Natalie is the one who doesn%26#039;t like you. And there is usually one reason for that, JEALOUSY. Lily and Sylvia might not want to hang around you because of Natalie. Natilie is what you call a Friend Stealer. The next thing that you should do, is try your hardest to spend more time with Lily and Sylvia. That way, they%26#039;ll eventually become much more closer to you than with Natalie. If that doesn%26#039;t work (which will probably work 95%) then find new friends. You can%26#039;t just stay hooked on to Lily and Sylvia. OR, you could try to hang around Natalie more often ( which I know sounds pretty messy) and that is another way you could have her not talk about you. Good Luck,

Why is my plant dying? (I have a picture) http://i141.photobucket.com/al...

This picture shows a peace lily which I have had for 4 years now. About one year ago it started this very slow dying. It started browning on the tips of the oldest leaves and the browning continues until covers the whole leaf. It is to the point now where it is starting on new leafs just as they start to uncurl in their newness. I think this slow death can%26#039;t last much longer and the plant has some sentimental value to me. Please offer any experties, but please don%26#039;t just tell me to take it to a nursery. If I get no responses that is what I will do take it to a plant store.





A little more history, as I said I received this plant as gift 4 years ago and it grew very well I put it into a large pot and some neighbor kids broke the pot and I found the plant in the lawn while the root ball was still moist, so I split it into two plants. Because I didn%26#039;t have another pot big enough on hand. They both did fine for a while and the other plant has already died. I don%26#039;t think it was same death.

Why is my plant dying? (I have a picture) http://i141.photobucket.com/al...
First of all, transplant it into a smaller pot, buy a good potting soil and throw that soil out. The soil it%26#039;s in has too much vermiculite or perlite (the white stuff). When you take it out of the soil, look at the roots, cut off any that are shrivled or look rotted before repotting. Keep the soil evenly moist (not wet and don%26#039;t let it completely dry out) and hopefully it will take hold again. Poor guy looks rough, good luck.
Reply:You need to repot the plant and seperate it as well, use new potting mix and do this in the afternoon when it is a bit cooler, if you get a product called miracle grow over there use this to water the repotted plants with to give them a good start. Good Luck.
Reply:How much water are you giving this plant? Often times the leaves will do this if they are watered too much. When you water it, can the water run completely through the soil and exit out the bottom of the pot?
