Why do we like to scratch a wound when its healing?

Natures Way

Scratching an itch is a puzzling biological and behavioral response in any case. It is especially odd to scratch a healing wound since logic would indicate that scratching would hinder rather than help the healing, this can be viewed from two sides.

One theory of why we itch suggests that scratching stimulates the release of endorphins. These are naturally occurring opiates which block pain sensation. We release a flood of endorphins to block the pain of the initial injury, while the scratching only injures our skin only a little more. The gain from the endorphins thus outweighs the loss from the slight injury.

Using natural skin balms like repcillin would help the wound heal and also relieves the 'itching'. Repcillin is made from the fat of CITES farmed Nile Crocodiles in Africa. Researchers were amazed at the some of the wounds crocodiles had, that were seemingly immune to infection, not even in the unsanitary water conditions. Their research showed crocodile fat contains strong peptides that would fight bacterial infections and promote a quicker healing time.

Why do cats play in litter box?

Could be for many reasons. Many cat's enjoy the rough surface against their bodies, just as a wild boar will scratch its back against a tree. Another explanation could depend on how close you are with your cats. Do they love you? If so, do you smell like poop? If your cat's are fond of you, perhaps they enjoy the smell of poop and therefor play in their litter box to remind themselves of you. --------------------- They don't. It's an protective instinct to cover up their feises so other predators can't smell it, and so that other predators won't find their "hideout" and attack them. If the litterbox is cept clean they don't have to digg so much, oterwise they digg in it even if they don't have to poo or pee, to hide whats in it. Ceep it clean and you´ll see.

What if your just found stray cat will not eat anything unless it is sprinkled with cheddar cheese What is the problem?

or just start with no cheese, I rescused a dog that would not eat unless he had wet food mix with the dry food. So i gave him a bowl of dry food no wet, and left him to it, eventually he was hungry enough to eat just the dry and now that's all he eats, no complaining

I am bathing my cat and I wanted to know if I used Johnson's Baby Body Wash shampoo would it hurt my cat in any way?

It should be fine as long as you wash all of it off, so the cat won't lick any. Use very very little, as even the mildest of human shampoos can be very harsh on an animals' skin. It is advisable to purchase some pet shampoo for the next time you wash your cat.

Hartz makes Flea & Tick Dog Shampoo that works well with sensitive-skinned dogs like the Spitz-types. It also works good on cats. Make sure to rinse very thoroughly. If you are going to use the baby shampoo make sure you follow it up with frontline or some other flea/tick deterrent.

How many weeks until it is safe for a cat to get pregnant after she had kittens?

Responsible breeders usually give their breeding Queens a year's rest after having a litter. Pregnancy and nursing kittens until they are 12 - 14 weeks old puts great strain on the mother. A year ensures the Queen fully recovers and remains in optimum health and overall condition; it is very dangerous to let a tired or unhealthy female cat produce a litter. Depending on the health of the cat, and how often she is allowed to breed, the risk of losing both mother and kittens due to complications can be high.

If you are not a breeder, or you think you cannot keep your female cat inside and away from intact male cats for an entire year, it is highly recommended that you spay her as soon as possible.
