What dissolves clumping cat litter on cement?

Soap and water. Or take your cat to a groomer or your vet if they offer grooming services. Another concern would be... why is your cat urinating so much that litter is getting between its toes?? I would look for symptoms as drinking a lot of water, losing weight, and eating excessively. Your cat may have diabetes or kidney problems.


Why does my kitten have eating aggression with a kitten from the same litter?

Kittens like any other animals born in a litter have the natural instinct to fight for dominance as well as the will to survive. It is natural for them to determine the pecking order of the bunch from weakest to the strongest by using any means possible which may look like aggresive behavior to us humans - but very natural behavior to them.


How do you litter train a wild kitten?

The best way to litter-train kittens is to have a litter tray close to where they are, always making sure that the tray not to high for them to get into. Then about once every couple of hours pick them up and put them into the tray. At first they should just walk around in it maybe sniff a bit but after a while they'll instinctively dig, And after a while they'll understand. Every kitten is different but they should learn quite quickly.


Does Harm if you kill a cat by mistake?

This has actually has happened to me before. You will feel bad about it for a long while, sometimes you go into tears, but there should be no harmful affect.

She may look for the missing kitten once in a while, but she would just get over it eventually.

To find a cat litter that effectively controls strong ammonia smells, look for products labeled as "odor control" or "scent-free." Consider trying litter made from natural materials like corn or wheat, as they can help absorb odors better. Additionally, clumping litters are often more effective at trapping odors. Experiment with different brands to find the one that works best for your cat's needs.

How do you look after cat after having kittens?

Speak to your veterinarian about vaccinations. Your kitten will likely get a variety of vaccines between eight and sixteen weeks old. These vaccines will protect against Feline Leukemia (FeLeuk) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV). FIV and FeLeuk are viruses that attack the immune system similar to the way HIV attacks the immune system in humans. Other vaccines your kitten will likely get include distemper and rabies. The distemper vaccine will also help protect from some respiratory viruses. Speak to your vet about how to control parasites like fleas, roundworms, ticks, tapeworms, and ear mites. Parasites can make your kitten uncomfortable and potentially very sick. The treatment for these parasites is generally very easy and highly recommended for kittens. Feed your kitten quality kitten food. Your kitten needs kitten food that is made with the proper amount of protein and vitamins and minerals for a growing kitten. A good food is Nutro Natural Choice Complete Care Kitten. You should be able to find this at a pet store. If you have an older cat, and your kitten eats some of your older cat's food, it's nothing to be concerned about, but try to feed your cats separately until your kitten is a year old and can transition to adult food. Give your kitten some dry food to munch on during the day and feed her canned food twice a day. Do not ever give your kitten cow's milk; it can cause diarrhea. Keep your kitten supplied with water. The water bowl should be pretty shallow so your kitten can reach it. Kittens are often fascinated by water and will probably play in and tip over the bowl. A towel beneath the bowl or a bowl with a heavy base (or both!) may be a great idea. You will need to teach your kitten how to use the litter box. Drag your kitten's paw through a litter box and she will instinctively know what to do next. Keep the litter box clean by scooping out any material twice a day. Use a non-clumping litter for the first three months as swallowed clumping litters can block a young kitten's digestive tract. Keep your kitten clean. A full bath is not needed, but rubbing a warm, damp cloth over your kitten will help if your kitten hasn't figured out how to clean herself. This is also a great bonding ritual since you are 'mothering' your kitten. Pet your kitten. It's very important that you gently stroke your kitten so she gets used to the idea of being stroked. This will help to eliminate any aggressive tendencies your kitten has. While petting your kitten, keep your voice low and your movements slow so you don't startle her. Don't forget to play with your kitten. Just be careful when your kitten pounces for your hands, feet or elbows and don't let her roughhouse with you. This will teach your kitten to roughhouse with you when she gets older. Some experts recommend emitting a high-pitched sound if your kitten becomes too rough. Get your kitten toys that she can easily push around. Suggestions include a fake mouse, a ball of paper, or a small ball. Remember that your kitten shouldn't play with things she can easily swallow or suffocate in like push pins, paper clips, rubber bands, threaded needles or plastic bags. Contact your vet if your kitten has the following symptoms: Vomiting Diarrhea Lethargy or tires easily Wheezing Straining when urinating or defecating Bleeding Change in appetite Change in behavior or attitude Breathing changes Abnormal twitches Any other questions or concerns you have
