Cat Behavior

no because they are afraid of us more than we fear them

There are several causes for this. If you swim a lot this will shrink the penis size temporarily (anything cold does.) Stress, emotional problems that have not been resolved can also do this.

I strongly suggest you get a check-up by your doctor. He will check for blood flow, and also give you a blood test for diabetes. I highly doubt you have diabetes at all, but it wouldn't hurt to get it checked out.

Usually young men of your age, it could be due to shyness, fearful of performance, how your parents brought you up about sex (guilty conscience) you are on steroids, if you are athletically inclined. I think you would feel much better getting a physical check-up by your doctor and it would put your mind at rest.

I would also recommend a blood test for your Testosterone levels. While 30 is very young for the drop to start, It is possible. Failure to achieve an erection or failure to maintain an erection is a text book example of Low Testosterone.

If all tests come back A-OK (I sure hope they do) then I would say it is emotional. Talk things out with a good friend. This helps a lot. Don't forget to see that doc of yours.

One of the commonly faced problem by men is erectile dysfunction but levitra (vardenafil) or Cialis and of course Viagra are all common prescription medicines for treating this problem.

A cats tongue is extremely rough, so as it licks it cleans out the dirt form his/her hair by removing it from the creases of which it parts.

you say something over and over and over again...... remember the SAME word or sentence

sounds like bark beetles. not much you can do I'm afraid but when it dies be sure to remove it quickly, preferably burn it. get the roots too.

Yes. I was surprised to learn this while watching My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding on Lifetime. They talked about catching hedgehogs and eating them.

He passed away sadly because he had a tumor in his stomach.

Because she trusts you and she wants you to see her kittens so you can adore them. she loves them and wants you to love them too. Ahhhhh. :)

It depends on the individual cat.

If it is extremely young, the male cat may see a kitten as food. However, different cats have different personalities. Make sure that you stay with the kitten until the male cat is no longer hissing.

there really is no age... when the kitten first leaves its mother it misses her and wants her to come to it.. once the kitten gets used to its new house and new people they will stop.. and start purring more

It is not ideal. Kittens are just far too small and fragile to be allowed outside for any period of time, especially if unsupervised. However, letting a kitten outside on a harness and leash is considered safe, as you are close to the kitten at all times and it prevents the kitten from running off and getting lost.

It is ideal not to let a kitten out without supervision until its near adult size (10 - 12 months old), as a fully grown cat is usually big enough to be able to defend itself from other cats and wildlife.

Bad air - they didn't see the relation with hygiene as we do today.

Bad air being the cause of "The Black Death" can also be seen in the old depictions of the "medics" of the day. They wore long-nosed masks when being around plague patients. In the long nose of the mask herbs and oils were put, in order to "neutralise" the plague causing bad air.

Cat Lovers give Us a huge Pat on the back! Cats were associated with Witches and were destroyed at about the same rate [at that Time] - Cat Population decreases led to rodent [disease carrying] population increases the infected and killed dot dot dot.

Cats do not consume catnip, they smell it and it drives them crazy.

Usually, it is only unneutered males which display this behavior. If you get your male cat neutered, he will probably stop. Occasionally, when a male cat is not neutered at a young enough age (anytime after 6 months of age; females 5 mos.) , he will continue to spray after being fixed. Urinary tract infections are another common cause, so get your cat to a vet for a check-up. If there is no underlying physical health problem, there are still many things that you can try to change this behavior. Here's an excerpt regarding territorial spraying: Territorial urine marking is probably one of the most difficult behavioral problems to correct. However, before assuming this is the only reason for your cats' ongoing spraying, I'd first eliminate physiological causes as inappropriate elimination can also be a sign of urinary tract inflammation or infection. Assuming everything checks out okay on the vet front, you can tackle the problem step-by-step. Most behaviorists believe in a two-step process: 1) Discourage inappropriate behavior and 2) Reward good behavior. The first task in discouraging bad behavior in this case is to level the "playing field" by removing every trace of urine scent from your house and your garage. Wash down all vertical surfaces with a vinegar-water mix and dry thoroughly. If traces of scent still remain, you can use an enzymatic product which neutralizes urine, available in pet stores. Fortunately, a relatively new product has been developed for discouraging cats' urine spraying. Developed by Feliway Farnam, the product comes in both a spray, to be applied to areas previously marked with urine by cats, and in a Plug-in (Feliway Comfort Zone), for whole-room treatment. Feliway works by mimicking the "friendly facial pheromones which cats use to mark their territory. The theory is that cats will not mark with urine on areas they have previously marked with facial pheromones, and it works very well, judging by the accolades this product has received. Now comes the fun part: rewarding good behavior. Your cats need to view each other as the source of *good* things, rather than as territory invaders. Good thing include special treats, fun play sessions, and snuggling and petting. You can accomplish this by playing with them together, using a wand-type toy so you are somewhat removed from their mutual play. As they start to play together, reward them with lavish petting to both cats, and follow-up with treats, always in the presence of the other cat. None of this will happen overnight. Be patient. In the meantime, keep cleaning up errant sprays, and using the Feliway. If, after several weeks of the new regime, the cats are still insistent on marking, you might want to ask your veterinarian about using medication. Some behaviorists have gotten good results from a med called "Buspirone," which apparently does not have the undesirable side effects found with Valium or other tranquilizers.

Is your cat diabetic? I did not understand if you were telling us he or she is or you were wondering if he or she is. No matter what, you need to take your cat into your Veterinarian to have him or her checked out. An ammonia smell is pretty common in cat urine but if you think it smells differently than it use to, the off to the Vet you need to go. There are many issues that a cat could have such as a blockage in the urinary tract or infection/stones in the bladder, infection of the kidneys, diabetes, etc. which all need to be checked out by your Veterinarian. I also recommend a good food for cats such as the prescription diet C/D. You can get this at your Vet's office.

I had a cat when I lived in the bush, an it used to eat all the rabbits. There were always bits and pieces of rabbit left around the place but that cat never went hungry.

A high level of lead in the blood can be detected with a simple blood test.

usually kittens need milk from the mother for two months .

Inshallah he will become the fittest person in the world along side with the guy that gets his fitness information from a cornflakes box.

No...they might bite them

If you mean rub heads, it's a way of showing affection or a need for attention.

No, unless the levels of Candida are already higher than normal. If the levels are high then it might be possible albeit rare for it to be caught from an external source.

She may be pregnaant, if not, in heat.

I would recommend milk diluted with water, and see if she'll take that. If she's been vomiting then she's losing fluid, and it's not being replaced. AS for the ingestion of catnip, once it works it's way out of her system she sould be fine. I would reccommend trying to keep her hydrated until the situation passes.

Additional answer: Cats will rarely overdose on catnip. It is not "addictive", and they will turn their noses up at it. However, there is a chance there was something on the catnip- if it is not grown or bought by you. There is also a great chance that she has an unrelated issue.

If she is vomitting, give her pedialyte. This is safe for cats, and better than water for keeping her hydrated. Seek veterinary assistance as soon as possible.

Hi: They will help a bit but you will still see condensation. The reason being that their is still water vapor trapped between your window and the cover you are talking of. It will help your energy bill though. I'm not sure of the product or is design and installation criteria that you refer to, But!, people been stapeling plastic over their windows for no telling how long in winter months for energy savings but mostly to prevent cold drafts from the window. Perhaps: You may find this amusing, then again ( you may not ), Windows and doors are your number 1 energy saps in most any home. And by a wide margin. So any improvement there is a big help. Hope this helps: Jimiwane
