Thank you everyone for your great answers!

Would a dog be okay in the back of a Uhaul?

I’m moving to another city 6 hours away and don’t own a car. I’ve rented a Uhaul, but was wondering if my dog and cat would be ok in the back of the truck with the other stuff I’m moving. We have a dog crate that we have used on the train before, and also a cat carrier.
Thanks!
i forgot to mention that i would be riding in the back with them…

i don’t consider my animals furniture! i love them loads, and i’ve never used a uhaul before, so i was just asking…

Can a cat be Evil?

One of my friends has this cat that is well mean. they got it from a shelter and it does nothing but hiss and growl at everyone includeing my friend and her mom. I think that the cat is evil but i am told no animal can be. Perhaps it was abused at one time?

The reason why i think it is evil is one day i went over to her house and i did not see the cat anywhere. when i went to leave the cat jumped off the back of a chair and dug its claws into my face and neck and started biteing me. I pulled the cat off and thow it on the ground and my friends brother put it in a cat carrier. I was bleeding and had to go to my doctor to get a shot for i would not get a infection.
Was the cat just being mean or is it possible it is evil?

I love cats! but not my friends. it died earlier this year we all think in died of pent up rage. even her mom was relieved that it passed. Should i feel guilty for hateing a animal.

Best Cat Carrier or Kennel?

In light of the recent hurricane and earthquake, I was wondering if you could suggest the best cat carrier out there. I know that soft-cloth ones are not recommended as the absence of rigid walls makes the cat anxious inside. On the other hand, the most basic plastic ones are very uncomfortable to most cats. Some higher-priced ones don’t offer much improvement in the structure of the carrier and mostly focus on making in more appealing to the pet owner by choosing bright colors and such.

So do you know a really sturdy cat carrier that I could use in an emergency like that? Links to relevant products are welcome!

Thank you!

Bringing parakeet to vet in cat carrier?

I’m taking my parakeet to the vet for his regular nail and wing clipping. I have no cardboard boxes at all because we recently gave them away. I was wondering if I can use a cat carrier without looking like an idiot?

How to stop constant meowing and searching behavior?

I am not the original owner. This animal was the stray I lured into the cat carrier (with your help) in order to rescue him. He is very affectionate, but seems to be looking for & calling to someone. Perhaps he will settle in time….what do you think?

my friend and her cat are staying with me. her cat is always scratching my things. her cat always scratches my door at night to try to enter. to prevent this,i have tried yelling at him, spraying him with water from a spray bottle(her idea), putting him in his cat carrier and i have spanked him. my friend says i am abusive to animals and she will never forgive me for hitting her cat. she says she heard me hit him and it was hard. i said she should have been controling her cat, however she left it up to me to deal with it. on the 3rd night of dealing with this problem, i spanked him. was i wrong to spank her cat? was she wrong to not do anything and leave it up to me? our friendship has suffered as a result. please reply with yall’s opinion

Cat pooping in bed (mine and his)?

This cat hasn’t been with me for long (about a month and a half), I found him as a stray and the owner never showed up to claim him, he was already neutered. He’s always been really good about using the litter box, but in the past few days he’s been doing it in whichever bed he’s on when he feels like it (he has two beds of his own and he uses mine as well, he spends more time on my bed than on his so that’s where he’s been going most of the time, but he doesn’t seem to have any problems with using his own beds as toilets).

This cat has never been in good health, he’s been in and out of the vet clinic ever since I got him to treat his rhinotracheitis (mainly, he had several other problems from being on the street). The first time he pooped outside the box was on the way to the vet, when he pooped inside his cat carrier (about a week ago), since then it’s been getting worse.

Even though I recently switched to Royal Canin Exigent (he wouldn’t eat what I usually gave him*) his feces seem normal, firm and darkish brown. Also, he’s been taking pills (vet prescribed) for weeks now and doing daily nebulizations (which he doesn’t like), could the stress of treatment and frequent vet visits finally have caught up to him? Or could he have some yet undetected problem?

He also has a bad leg so he limps a little, probably from getting hit or kicked while on the street. He suffered muscle wasting due to starvation (on his whole body, but more so on the bad leg).

*Royal Canin is one of the best brands of food available where I live (not US, so no such thing as nutro, or innova evo, or any of the really good ones) I was trying to feed him a local brand that had more meat in it but he didn’t like it.
It’s more like he’s pooping wherever he’s at. Today he slept on a folded blanket that happened to be on the floor (he can’t get on the bed on his own because of his bad leg) and he pooped there as well.

Cats tend to dislike dirtying the places they sleep at don’t they? Also his litter box is scooped once a day.
