Cat Behavior

Helena Rubinstein does test on animals. Mice, rats, rabbits and guinea pigs are the most-used animals in these tests. Many companies have quit testing animals, and use the thousands of ingredients that have a long history of safe use in creating their new products.

some people may find this question quite funny but i think that it is a very good question i doubt it but come to think of it they problaby do because after a while they do start to mould but i have never seen best before written on a packet of sponges very good question though

Usually they are 1 in. if they are born a couple weeks/days old. If they are just the right time they are usually 2-4 in. Any more questions are excepted! If you want more information, just keep coming on here once in a while and I will be on here! Thanks!

No one knows, scientists are trying to find out.

If you just got her then she doesn't trust you. If you got her a few weeks ago maybe you can gain her trust. You have to go around your house and show her dark secluded places, and tell her she can have her kittens there. You must gain her trust, otherwise she will disappear and come back with kittens in 2 months!

You can tell she is getting close to giving birth by her showing signs of discomfort and pain. You can also get a box around the size of a 19" TV make a small entrance and place bedding inside. Put it in a high place or a dark secluded place. Good Luck!

they are peta's made up kitten/fishies

I think that Crowfeather is Jaypaw, Lionpaw, and Hollypaw's father. and there mother is Leafpool. from the clues in the books and on the web, this is very likely. go to Google and search Leafpool Theory and see what pops up.

Yes it is. However, there are contests that will offer a table.

Normal temperature in a cat is 101 to 102 degrees. So that would be subnormal or too low. That could mean shock, etc. Take your cat to the Veterinarian immediately if that is her or her temperature.

The normal kind that all animals breathe; a mixture of nitrogen, oxygen, argon carbon dioxide and trace amounts of other gases.

The air they breath is the same air that you breath; the atmosphere of the planet Earth.

maybe,moth balls might work too

Maybe he hasn't been fed enough, maybe he's doing it for enjoyment; you can't really tell. All cats are different. Some like to hunt (and eat what they catch) more than others.

Maybe

Some antibiotics can be too strong for cats, and some cats can even have allergic reactions to them just as humans can.
For example and overdose of penicillin in cats will cause them to have seizures and even permanent neurological damage.

Usually when the cat is very old. Putting an animal that is very old under anesthesia could cause the animal to not wake up after surgery.

They do not want to hurt their family . You are their family. They r just playing around.

That is hard and you can't make them. Most older cats do not get along with other CATS! But if kittens are introduce with an older cat they have a better chance of getting along.

YES. This is called "Status Aggression", and is usually seen in younger cats (1-3 years) who live in one cat households. These kitties might try to block doorways and hiss / growl at those who try to pass by them. They might also get peeved when they're moved off beds, chairs, etc. so the human can sit down. They might also swat at you if you try to pass by them.

Another closely related cat behavior is "Play Aggression". Cats with play aggression will NOT hiss and growl, but still might swat a human who walks by (no claws), or "ambush" a human from beneath a table / around a corner. They might also run after their human and bat / swat at the ankles or legs (again, no claws, but they might nip). They might also display "play face", an odd expression where the mouth is half open. To the human, this might look like aggression, but to the cat, it's play. Like status aggressive cats, play aggressive cats are usually younger cats in single-cat households.

How do I know? Because I have both in one cat! My kitty showed quite a bit of status aggression when she was younger: blocking doorways and the such. You basically have to show them that you are the "Alpha" and they are under you. Cats respond tremendously to positive reinforcement and training (and yes, they can be trained). Try calling your cat to the other room with a treat when you need to pass by them; only use that treat for that purpose. You can even clicker train your cat to come and get a treat. Reward consistently and often. Bring your cat a treat when kitty is sleeping on the bed and doesn't want you to sit there. Again, be consistent and reward positive behavior. Never EVER hit or yell at your cat. Cats will grow fearful, and with fear, aggression will increase. Also get your cat a cat tree or something this is theirs and theirs only. Train them to go to their tree with treats. And sometimes you might just have to leave your kitty to "cool down". I've learned to recognize that when my kitty is in a mood--large eyes, tail swishing, ears turning back--that she just wants to be left alone. So I leave her alone and she cools down.

For "play aggression", I found that ignoring my kitty worked best. If she would playfully swat at my legs, I would keep walking. I was the one who initiated our play sessions. Gradually she outgrew it.

Increase your cat's play / bonding sessions. Brush or hold your cat, and talk to him/her softly. Do this daily. Gradually your cat should lose both forms of aggression.

Living with a status aggressive cat can be challenging, but learning how to recognize and positively change their behavior can greatly improve their well-being and your relationship.

You have to look at it closely and it might seem dizzy.

== == Many people feel this is OK because they see the mother cat do this to her kittens to move them, but I feel it's cruel to do this to an adult cat. I have a cat and I just pick her up like I do my dogs. I would never think of picking her up by the skin of her neck because you could do some damage. Think of it this way ... would you like to be picked up by the skin of the back of your neck? Of course not! Just pick the cat up the way you would a small dog. You shouldn't pick them up like that unless you have to, it's mostly a way of getting them to stop what they are doing. For instance my cats used to really fuss and scratch over going inside after playing in the yard. But they stopped when I grabbed them by the back of the neck and they realized they couldn't struggle. It doesn't hurt them per se, but it isn't a comfortable thing at all. Picking an adult cat up by its neck can cause pain and injury, once they are fully grown their skin cannot support the weight of their body so although injury may not be apparent at the time you could find that due to the skin being pulled away from the connective tissue underneath that swelling and infection can occur, in the case of an uncooperative cat "scruffing" them while its body weight is supported can help to control the cat and prevent injury to yourself of course sometimes it is necessary, for instance, when those curious cats get stuck in awkward places and cant get themselves out!

Take it to the vet, as soon as possible.

dip ur finger into the milk and let it suck on ur finger, then put its nose by the milk bowl, if this wont work smack ur mother till she gets u a bottle

You could cut up little pieces of tuna for them. They even have these little cat treats in pet stores and I sometimes give my cat those.

No,

You should not wipe your kitten's butt after they poop.
Kitten's love to lick their bottom themselves.
You should observe your kitten to see that she does it very often.
Maybe you think about this, the next time you kiss your kitten.

It's the same with dogs.
History showed us that if people could do the same thing, they would end up being alone all their live.
