 * If you try add pet via ‘add a pet’ page the ‘status’ field is required but if
   you use admin panel the ‘status’ field is sign as ‘optional’ but it does not 
   has empty/blank option.
 * In PA all field which are ‘optional’ in ‘add a pet’ page are required in PA (
   
   They don’t have an empty field ).
 * Maybe something I do not understand, but unfortunately at the moment this plugin
   is unusable =(

 * Hi WiseMan89,
 * Sorry for the huge delay,
 * I think you’re trying to add the status and were unable to do so, please, exclude
   and reinstall Pet Manager to be able to manage the taxonomies again.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello, I’m having a similar issue. When i try to add a pet it say the Category
   is required. But, when i try to options and try to Add Category I get an error
   that says “You are not allowed to manage these items.” What am I doing wrong?
   I have uninstalled and reinstalled the plugin.
