Make sure all trash cans have lids. This is often the first thing dogs will make a beeline for when you leave.
..:::How To Pet
Q:Hello! I am a brand new member and look to all you experts for advice. I adopted a beautiful litle Siamese girl at the end of August from a cat rescue. She was spayed prior to my adopting her. When I picked her up, she was skinny to the point of bony. Now that she has been with me for a month, she has a huge belly. She is constantly hungry these days. Is it probable that she is pregnant and this was not checked or caught prior to spay? HELP!

A:Welcome!
Your kitten is probably just catching up on her calories. Are you feeding her kitten food? It's usually richer. But don't go overboard (been there, done that); feed her the recommended amount and maybe a few treats on the side. No milk - they have a hard time digesting it.
Try to buy the best quality food you can afford, preferably the kind you don't find in grocery stores but at a pet supply store. Typically, better quality food has lots of meat and no filler, like corn, or additives. It is more expensive but they eat less and it's well worth it for their overall health.
If your kitten is active, does not vomit or have diarrhea, eats and drinks normally, there's probably nothing to worry about.
If you haven't taken her to the vet yet, I would do that, just in case, and at the same time have her poo checked for worms, always a good idea with a new cat.

A:My bad. Martina is an adult cat. I might have left the impression she was a kitten. Is it possible that they couldn't tell she was pregnant when they spayed her?
A:A spay is a complete hysterectomy, no womb = no kittens
