Is it really THAT difficult?
I am 22 with a 7 month old spayed bullmastiff and i will be moving soon. I keep seeing posts about how people are moving and cant keep their pets. is it really THAT difficult to find a place that will take you and your fuzzy friend? personally i have already started looking and have found many pet friendly apartments and communities and i own what some would call an "aggressive breed".
i will live in my car in the dog park parking lot before i will give away my baby girl.
I understand that obviously i do not have kids or a family and that at this point in my life, my dog IS my family. And out of respect for that relationship i will change my life to accomadate what makes up my family. @Greek- to say that you can just get rid of a god and get another one tomorrow suggests that you dont really value the relationships that you have with your pets and if that is the case i would respectfully suggest that you dont have one.

pet friendly apartments in Adelaide?
I am coming to Australia with several pets. I badly need to source apartments for sale in Adelaide area or surrounds that have NO pet restrictions. Every "Strata" listing I look into seems to have restrictions.
Can anyone help with this. It's getting pretty serious.
Please no replies that simply go "look up realestate.com.au". I already did that, and have been in comms with no small number of agents too. Many thanks in advance. Really need help with this. It's starting to panic me. I'm starting a course there next year.
* Tamara, thanks for the reply. I would love to get a house. Unfortunately, I am also budget constrained (=240k Australian) with a little flexibility but not much. I have seen a few buildings Australia-wide for that amount, but so far they have been implausibly far out.

Am I overfeeding my kitten? (And declawing alternative!)?
All right. I have a 5 1/2 month old kitten (I say kitten, but he is really big, bigger than his sisters from his mother's previous litter) and I've been feeding him as directed on his kitten food. 1/3-3/4 cups of food 3-4 times a day (But since I am not home all day all the time I put two bowls with 1/3-3/4 twice a day). He eats it all throughout the day, and drinks like 2 human-sized glasses of water a day. I give him one full glass in two kitty bowls in the morning then when I come home his water is almost empty and I give him another full glass. By morning his water is almost gone.
I tried to feed him canned kitten food, but he won't touch it. The only kind of food I found he likes is Purina Kitten Chow (I think that is because the owners of his momma fed him that when they were weaning him) so that could be why he drinks so much water, because the food is really dry.
Am I overfeeding him? Am I giving him too much water? For about 2 months he was hardly gaining any weight and we discovered it was because he had a tapeworm (my sister got a puppy she found and it had fleas so we figure he got fleas too) We treated for the fleas, but I didn't know tapeworms and fleas were associated with each other until I found part of the tapeworm on his rear and took him to the vet. I figured he didn't gain weight because of the worm and now that it is gone he's gaining a lot of weight. He isn't fat, and he runs and plays a lot and is very active, but I don't want him to get fat. I don't want him use to eating that much and then when he is a grown up cat and gets 1/2 cup 2 times a day (that is what it says on the bag) I don't want him to still be hungry.
My vet also gave me kitten treats that are suppose to be good for his teeth (healthy teeth are suppose to help prevent heart problems I guess?) and I give him 3-4 treats a day (like the vet told me) is this bad? Will I just make him fat?
Also I want to include that I do not own the mother cat who keeps having kittens. She belongs to a friend of mine and even if I told them to get her spayed they would not. They say it is inhumane *sigh* and that they have no right to make that decision for her. Again *sigh*. My vet is neutering my kitten next week (he won't do the operation until the animal is 5 months old - even though some places do it sooner like 8-weeks - I would rather have the trusted family vet do it. Plus he's a strictly indoor kitten.
Also - and please don't yell at me - could anyone give tips on how to make these dang soft paws actually stay on. My kitten keeps pulling them off somehow and is scratching up my dad's leather furniture (not on purpose, it just happens when he's in a playful mood and he jumps and tries to climb the couch.) He knows not to clean his claws on anything but his posts and is well trained except for the playing on the couch, and no matter what he just won't listen. My dad says he wants to declaw him or he is gone. I am heading to college in less than a year (next August) and will be living in a pet friendly apartment so I am taking him with me. I am NOT for declawing and right now am fighting with my dad on this issue. I got the soft paws as an alternative but I am having really bad luck with them. Please please please please please offer up solutions and alternatives to declawing. I don't think neutering is inhumane but I think ripping out a cat's claws (which are part of their BONES) is very inhumane. Call me a hypocrite I don't care. Neutering has benefits for the animal and declawing only benefits the human. That is at least MY take.
" My vet is neutering my kitten next week (he won't do the operation until the animal is 5 months old - even though some places do it sooner like 8-weeks - I would rather have the trusted family vet do it."
Incase some one misses that.
Wonderful answers thus far. I don't think my kitten likes his soft paws very much, and for kittens you aren't suppose to trim the nails (when using soft paws) but I think I might give up on the soft paws and just keep em trimmed every day.
As for the blanket on the leather stuff, I'll try that out. Since he isn't purposely scratching it and it is an accident from playing hopefully it will help and my dad will agree.
I don't think my little guy has a scratching problem since he only purposely scratches his posts, but I am willing to get another pad or something. Like that emrycat or whatever you see on TV.
Thanks!
Any suggestions on how to start him eating wet canned food? I heard if you mix dry kibble with wet anything it releases a bacteria from the kibble (not sure if that is true - but I heard that somewhere). I've tried every canned brand that Petsmart and PetCo have to offer and he'll lick it for a bit but not eat it then turn his nose up and says "No thanks!"
