Pet Supplies

Let me start off by saying i have a really bad case of mice! Not because my house is dirty or anything like that but because i live close to mountains and hills and in areas mice are well populated. Anyways these damn mice are driving me crazy even to tears! They stink up my house of pee especially my cabinets and there is mice dropping EVERYWHERE! I hate them, yes HATE them with a passion. No matter how many bags i wrap my food in they still chew through them and contaminate my food. Whatever i open, if it can fit i put it into tupperware but for example lets say a bag of doritos with mini snack size bags in that bag, well that i will triple bag and still even though its never been opened the mice will chew through all the bags and eat from all the mini bags of doritos. Its so rediculous! They also jump out at me and scare the s**t out of me. For example when i go to the cabinet to get something and stick my hand in a mouse will just jump out all crazy and i scream my head off. I dont understand i am a very clean person, i dont have clutter and all my food is wrapped up good. Now i have all my food in the fridge and in one cabinet where i havent seen a mouse…its insane! I shouldnt have to live one day of my life uncomfortable because of some damn mice, smelling their pee and seeing their waste its disgusting anyone who’s had a problem with mice know what i am talking about! Anyways i am going to call an exterminator but until they come i need some kind of relief. I already use every kind of trap and sticky pad. I am really considering buying a cat and getting some of those things you plug in the wall and the sound drives the mice away so my question is which breed of cats are the best mice hunters and has anyone used those plug in things i was talking about and do they work? Should i get a cat or a kitten? And if i get a kitten do i need to train it to get the mice or is it in its nature to hunt and kill them? Can anyone give me any mice killing advice i dont care how crazy or drastic? I dont have any sympathy or mercy for the mice their just mice!

i have some fleas that were past on to my dog from a dog next door what can i do to get red of them?and to have them from coming back.

Okay my cat is a Norwegian Forest cat who has really bad fur problems.Her fur is in huge knots and tangles everywhere.I tried cutting them off but then it came back and it just got worse.Nomatter how long I try to comb her fur all it does it hurt her and not help in anyway.I was thinking of taking her to a vet and shaving the bad fur off but the only places her fur is fine is her tail and head and I don’t want her to go bald.Is there any other way I can fix this?

*** I KNOW THIS IS LONG BUT PLEASE READ!!**********
I have to 1 1/2 year old kittens that ive had since they were born. They act fine, eat fine and play and are just a joy to have around.
About 5 months ago they began loosing hair, not like all of it but under there chin, some on the back and behind there ears. ‘
I immediatley took the to the local vet who told me to switch there shampoo and all that.. I did and I removed there collars in case they were allergic.
I bathed them a couple times a week and they were properly treated for fleas and ticks.
They have been doing fine. There hair came back and they dont really have any bald spots.
HERE IS THE TROUBLE.
Every time they lay on the counters (which I desperatly try to make them STOP!) they leave behind LOTS AND LOTS of hair and a few bits of blood looking stuff on the counter.
I check them so much and there is no sign of bleeding and they have NO fleas.
What can I do.
The nearest vet other than the one who works near here is FAR FAR away and I cant take off work and go there right away.
Have you any suggestions? I really need them
Thanks so much.

If you were to buy a book about cats, which one would you choose:
1. General Cat Health, Prevention and Diseases
2. Emergency and First Aid for Cat Owners
3. Cat Training and Solutions to Cat Behavior Problems
Or would you prefer to have a book on some other cat subject?
