Buddy & Porky’s Pet Health: Litter Issues
I just adopted Gordo, a new cat, and I was told he was litter box trained, but he won’t use mine. It’s getting a little messy in the “cat room.†What can I do? Help!

I read on the internet that heartworm in cats is becoming a problem all across the United States and that I should really consider putting my cats on a heartworm preventative. To be honest, I can just barely afford the heartworm preventative for my two dogs, much less my four cats? Is this really necessary. I have never heart of a cat having heartworm around here.
Easter is coming up and I am thinking about getting a baby bunny for my kids. My six year old has dropped hints about it , and I think they would really enjoy having one. Do you have any tips about bunny care?
I hope this is not too depressing a subject for you, but I need to ask. I am getting on up there in years and I have three cats whom I love dearly. I worry that something will happen to me and there will be no one to take care of them. Do you have any ideas?
I heard on the news last night about two boys being arrested for animal cruelty for basically terrorizing a cat and posting what they did on the internet. Thank goodness the cat wasn’t physically harmed, but if so, is it still cruelty under the law? And a couple of weeks ago I read about some people being arrested for starving their horses almost to death. If they weren’t feeding their animals how come no one caught them sooner? What does New York law say about all this?
My next door neighbor came home with a new puppy a few weeks ago that she had gotten from a free to good home ad. I use the word “free†advisedly because a week after the puppy arrived he was at the veterinary hospital with parvo and almost didn’t make it. Now $2300 later, he is home and I guess ok, but should I be worried? My kids were playing with him and I have my own (fully vaccinated) dog.
Someone just told me that over the course of six years, one female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 dogs, and over the course of seven years, one female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 cats. She was trying to persuade me to have my cat spayed before she has any kittens. But honestly, if those figures were true, wouldn’t we be up to our knees in cats and dogs? I mean, a lot of pets are not spayed. Those figures don’t make any sense.
