Why would a cat stop urinating?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

its proably because its a boy cat with his testicals. having them removed will help calm him down. other reasons include marking teritorry. you must be disiplined with house training, and cat litter. if you don't want then to pee in a certain place put down lavender. tin foil makes to much noise for cats. so putting it down behind the washing machine or under the bed can stop them

If a kitten gets dropped in water will it stunt its growth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Though unlikely to permanently stunt growth, dropping a kitten in water can cause immediate issues like hypothermia and shock, as well as long-term problems like ear infections and respiratory issues. Always remove the kitten promptly and monitor for any signs of illness. Consider alternatives like misting or a shallow bath instead.

What household food can you feed kittens?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the kitten has already weaned off milk, they can eat soft baby food like products, although be sure none of these have onion or garlic in them. They do best with things like plain chicken. Do not feed them vegetables or products containing vegetables, or cow's milk. If they still need milk, talk to a veterinarian about buying bottles of cat milk formula.

Please note that human foods (unless you wish to feed your kitten a raw diet - which requires a lot of research) should never be substituted for a complete and balanced cat food.

Can i give cat tums?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Preferrably not - cats do not get stomach aches from excessive stomach acid like humans do. You could make your cat very ill if you gave it Tums.

May cat has never told me the cause of her stomach aches, no matter how many times I ask her. Cats do vomit bile, and antacids can be used for temporary relief. You don't give them peptobismol, but you can give them tums regular formula. Avoid antacids with magnesium, like tums smoothies. If it persists and can no longer be considered acute, have your cat checked by their vet.

How do you treat a superfecial cat abscess?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depending where the abscess is... it usually needs to be lanced and drained. This is very painful to the animal so care is advised when doing so. A vet should be seen for large abscesses. To clean the wound area use warm boiled water in a syringe to gently force the water throughout the wound. Put a medicated cream or antibacterial salve on the wound and try to bandage it so the cat will not lick it too much. Repeat the salve twice a day and check for reabscessing. If it does...a trip to the vet is advised.

At what age does a cat leave her kittens?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The best time to separate kittens from their mother is when the kittens are twelve to fourteen weeks old.

Kittens six to eight weeks old have not learned any important socialisation or behaviour skills yet, which kittens learn from eight weeks onwards. During this time kittens will learn how to play and interact with their littermates, mother and any other animals and humans in the house. Some kittens are not yet fully weaned until after eight weeks.

They will learn what behaviour is acceptable and what is not from their mother, and will learn how to play and share with their littermates. They will also learn about grooming and litterbox use at this crucial time. Most kittens are well socialised by the time they are twelve weeks old, and are very likely to grow into very gentle and affectionate pets.

What are white worms in the cat's feces and how do you treat them?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The symptoms of roundworms in adult cats are very similar to tapeworms. In kittens vomiting, diarrhea, dull coats, a pot belly on a thin body, and weakness are symptoms of roundworm. It is a good idea to get your kitten checked for roundworm by your vet, as it can cause serious illness in kittens.

Your vet will prescribe a dewormer, and it may have to be repeated several times before the roundworms are gone. Ascarid eggs are very resistant, so during the treatment litter should be scooped daily and litter pans washed with hot water and detergent regularly. Throw out the litter and disinfect the boxes before the end of the treatment

What happens if you swallow mucus?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you swallow a small piece of bubblegum, it's fine. It will not hurt you or anything. But you swallow a huge wad of double bubble with an extra layer of blueberry bubblegum, then, yes, you're really hurting yourself. You know when you eat food & you chew it down to swallow easier? I'm sure you couldn't swallow an entire hot dog so you have to chew it up. But bubblegum you can't really "chew." it just gets tastier when you do that and even harder to swallow, so it can get stuck in your throat. It would do too much bad to your actual body, but just don't try it.
