This query is choking the server. How can I improve it? Following query is hogging a lot of resources, as much as that the queries are getting locked down &amp; CPU usage goes through the roof!

The MySQL Processes list shows that as the number of requests for the queries increases, the time to completion also increases... It reaches to a point where queries just lock down.

As per the web host, there is some problem in the query design, but I am unable to figure it out.

EDIT 1

Based on Bohemian &amp; a1ex07 replies, I am now using the following query. Everything is working OK but the noOfCom is being calculated wrongly for the pets that have >0 comments - it just equals to the total number of feedbacks from the petfb table for that particular pet, not the actual no of comments. For the pets that have no comments, it shows correct as zero. What could be wrong here?

SELECT pet.*, ownrs.uniqueID AS ownrunique, ownrs.diamond, COUNT( comments.id ) AS noOfCom,
SUM( feedback =1 OR feedback =100 ) AS newLikes,
SUM( feedback =5 OR feedback =6 ) AS newDisLikes
FROM pet
JOIN ownrs ON pet.ownerID = ownrs.uniqueID
LEFT JOIN comments ON pet.id = comments.petid
LEFT JOIN petfb ON pet.id = petfb.petid
WHERE catid =13
GROUP BY pet.id
ORDER BY DATE DESC
LIMIT 0 , 10

EDIT 3 - SHOW CREATE TABLE petfb

CREATE TABLE `petfb` (
 `id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
 `petid` int(11) NOT NULL,
 `feedback` int(11) NOT NULL COMMENT '1=Like 100 = Hidden Like  5=Inappropriate  6=Dislike  7=Duplicate  8=Wrong Type',
 `fbdate` timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
 `ownrid` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
 `deviceid` varchar(50) NOT NULL,
 `sugcatid` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
 PRIMARY KEY (`id`),

 KEY `feedback` (`feedback`),
 KEY `deviceid` (`deviceid`),
 KEY `ownrid` (`ownrid`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=1215274 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
First add the following indices:

ALTER TABLE pet
  ADD INDEX catid_date_index 
      (catid, date) ;

ALTER TABLE petfb
  ADD INDEX petid_feedback_index 
      (petid, feedback) ;


Then try this query:

SELECT pet.* 
     , ownrs.id AS ownrunique
     , ownrs.super

     , ( SELECT COUNT(*) 
         FROM comments 
         WHERE pet.id = comments.petid  
       ) AS noOfCom

     , ( SELECT MAX(comments.comDate)     --- Unfortunately, you need
         FROM comments                    --- 2 subqueries if you want
         WHERE pet.id = comments.petid    --- 2 results from a table
       ) AS lastCom                       --- (comments)

     , ( SELECT COUNT(*) 
         FROM petfb 
         WHERE pet.id = petfb.petid 
           AND feedback IN (1, 100) 
       ) AS newLikes

     , ( SELECT COUNT(*) 
         FROM petfb 
         WHERE pet.id = petfb.petid 
           AND feedback IN (5,10)  
       ) AS newDisLikes

     , ownrs.name 
FROM 
        ( SELECT pet.*
          FROM pet
          WHERE catid = 21
          ORDER BY `date` DESC 
          LIMIT 0, 10
        ) AS pet
    INNER JOIN 
        ownrs
            ON ownrs.uniqueID = pet.ownerID 
ORDER BY p.date ;
