Is removing teeth in cats normal?
Nope. It means it has a poor diet.
ADD:
To expand on the first answer: Depending on the age of the cat, then no, it is not normal for cat to lose teeth, except if done by a vet or the cat is teething (adult teeth usually come in when the cat is 4-6 months old).
Tooth loss usually means that the cat has something wrong with its mouth or gums. If your cat is losing teeth or its gums look sore or inflamed, take it to the vet immediately.
Why does your female cat always cry at you?
Usually this is cat for: I'm hungry. I need some attention, I want to play or as with my female cat, she wants into the furnace room where it is dark and cramped. Cat's like dark and cramped spaces. If she has some Siamese in her she will be a natural talker.
Will my cat come back home after he's been gone for 4 weeks?
I doubt it! I have lost a few cats and if they haven't returned in about a week they are probably gone for good, but check with local animal shelters. Your cat may be in the shelter.

How do you get an adult cat to like a dog?
First you have to keep them in seperate rooms. Then you have to close the dog in one room and feed the cat outside of it. After you've done that a couple of times open the door so they see each other. Switch beds and toys sometimes
Why can't you put a cat on a leash?
You can actually put a cat on a leash, however you must use a harness instead of a collar, as the collar will either choke their very sensitive throats or break off. Most cats won't allow you to do it either way, either because they are nervous or they resent being restrained. If they feel nervous, don't do it. If they resent being restrained, don't do it, but instead of taking them on a walk, put them outside in an enclosure or on a raised deck if you have one. Or just leave the window open-that might be a better idea. If they feel any of the former two emotions, obviously they won't let you do it, so you don't have any choice.
Typicly, all cats do meow unless something has happend to the cat at birth or otherwise. Every cat that has not been "changed" in some way will meow. Some cats like cougars and anything in that sort DO meow, just they all let out a more fierce growl. Hope this helps!

Used to lull babies to sleep and squash cats' tails?

Can kittens have milk and soilds?
This solely depends on what age the kitten is. A kitten usually starts weaning off its mother's milk around 4 weeks of age, and will start to eat very soft or mushy solids. They will also drink milk, either from their mother or kitten milk (do not use cow's milk as many cats are lactose intolerant and get stomach upsets, which for a young kitten can be fatal).
IT depends on the age, and has it happened for a long time, or did it first started? First take your cat to the vet and make sure your cat is okay because that is not normal, and if your cat is healthy and the vet says nothing is wrong, you should check for ghosts, because my friends bunnies acted weird until they had a medium check it out.... because ghosts can taunt with your pets to signal something.
Why do cats never seem to sleep?
Actually they do sleep, mostly throughout the day and are sometimes awake when its around nighttime. That's why cats live long years since they sleep a great portion of their lives. :L
Because the people who make Spongebob want you to know that Gary is the equivalent of a cat.
Will 1st time outside kittens know where to go to come back?
FIRST-TIME OUTSIDE KITTENS???? I strongly recommend that you bring those darlings into the house immediately and find them INDOOR-ONLY homes! Otherwise, they will die sooner or later from any one of a myriad of diseases, if not from other animals, traffic, cruel people, environmental hazards, and so on! And in the meantime they will suffer a miserable life of fear, discomfort from fleas, earmites and ticks, upper respiratory diseases, and a host of other enemies of innocent little kittens. IT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT KITTENS NEVER BE PUT OUTSIDE! INSTEAD, FERAL KITTENS BORN OUTSIDE SHOULD BE CAPTURED, TAKEN TO A VETERINARIAN WHERE THEY CAN BE TESTED FOR FELV/FIV, VACCINATED IF OLD ENOUGH AND THEN KEPT IN A SMALL AREA INDOORS WHERE THEY CAN BE TAMED AND DOMESTICATED WITH LOTS OF LOVE AND TENDERNESS. These kittens make excellent indoor-only pets! ( Adult barn cats should be tested, vaccinated and neutered or spayed. They should also have access to fresh drinking water and dry cat food!)
the writer of the question obviously wanted a indoor/outdoor cat. NOT YOUR OPINON! its their choice...NOT YOURS...answer the question and keep your opinon to yourself unless they ask for it.
as for the question...i did just write out a huge explaination which took me a hour but the thingy wasnt logged in. but to put it in basics first, make sure you and your kitten have the following covered:
Kitten is FULLY vaccined and check for fleas and ticks often
Kitten is over 5 months AT LEAST
Kitten is spayed and neutered, i cant stress how important this is and i don't think anyone can say any different!
Kitten has access to food inside and outside and the outside food is away from the door so if another cat is hungry your kitten can come inside
Kitten is comfortable in your home and knows he has food, water, warmth, shelter, love and hugs available - this is make sure that he will come home.
You are comfortable with having your kitten outside.
You have bought a GOOD collar which wont strangle him if it gets caught. and it fits properly so it doesnt catch on anything. with your address and phone number - im not sure about adding a name as you never know how horrible people are.
You have checked the areas animal accident rate - yes accidents happen but if they are happening alot. theres a problem and don't add your cat to the list.
if you have all this covered your ok to start.
make the days before the big outting the best ever. play with him lots, give him treats, displine him in the nicest way possible. try avoid using your voice for example.
if your a big worrier start by using a lead and kitten proofing your garden. use the door you would like your cat to use when taking him out, take him around the garden and let him smell stuff and get comfortable and use to the smells of home. you can do this around a wide area if you like the most important is to praise him lots while in the garden hense why we didnt use your voice to displine him. DONT let him off the lead if YOU are not comfortable.
then bring him home. show him the door then show him FOOD (CATS LOVE FOOD!) and give him a treat as he returned. make the treats smaller and smaller each time he comes home on his own.
you can use the lead for a couple of days then let go of the lead in the garden or unattach it from the harness. and just follow him around. if you get really worried come down to his level and hold a treat in your hand and call him. then try again tomorrow. keep going until you and your kitten is ready.
stay in the garden and don't follow him. he will come back to see you if hes worried. then leave the door wide open. then close the door (of leave it ajar if you don't have a cat flap) and keep the cat flap a little open (try to hold it so they can see its open by using string or something) , and then close it all together with the cat flap unlocked (of course)...don't rush, be patient...he knows where food is and he will get hungry =D
Good luck and many great adventures for your kitten!

Why does my mother cat steal other cat's kittens?
Because she feels the need to take good care of it. She is a good mother cat just don't let her get to attached to them especially if they aren't hers.
Can a male cat spray because a female dog is in heat in the house?
It is very unlikely he is spraying specifically because your dog is on heat. However, any stressful factors can cause cats to spray, and the dog's mood changes and unusual smells may be causing the spraying behaviour. Entire male cats are very likely to spray for no specific reason, and tom cats should always be neutered. A vet can give you advice on neutering, and on products or environmental changes to help reduce spraying.
Should you feed your cat milk after she has kittens?
No. It is a common myth that cats drink milk. They cannot digest it, so they end up with diarrhea. Another myth is that mice like cheese. They will eat it if they are hungry, but that is not a preferred food choice, it just looks like they like it because Swiss cheese has holes in it.
The amount of food left in the bowl when Steve returns from work is a function of how late he works.
Your kitten keeps meowing for no reasaon he hardly ever meows He is 9 weeks old is this normal?
Sounds like the same thing my daughter had with her kitten.
I had her bring him to my house and he nursed for awhile and then I fed him some soft, canned cat food. ( I have the mother cat here) He stayed all night here and ate more soft cat food and slept all night long. He had been crying for a week at her house, non stop 24/7.
All it was, was he was hungry or starving and she had hard cat food, I sent home a can of my soft food and he was back to being a normal kitten then.
She felt awful because she had no idea he was so hungry!
Can you add water to whole milk to give to a kitten?
Cow's milk shouldn't really be given to kittens. Cats and kittens are lactose intolerant, which means that cannot digest it very well and can cause diarrhea. A kitten with diarrhea will get dehydrated very quickly and if left untreated can become fatal.
If you wish to give your kitten some milk, most stores now stock specially formulated cat or kitten milk which has no lactose in and is safe to drink.
Mother cat and the kittens have diarrhea?
At one time or another every cat has a bout of vomiting or diarrhea. Usually they have eaten something disagreeable, eaten too much or too fast, are overly excited or nervous, have hairballs, or their body is reacting to any of a number of other non-serious conditions. however if both mother cat and kittens have had it for more than a day especially if they are also not eating very well, in many cases kittens have passed on due to lack of hydration or had to be ''put down'' by the vet as there is nothing they can do. if your cat/kittens does have vomiting and diarrhoea happen then you should immediately take the mother cat and the kittens to do vet, they will give the kittens antibiotics for 3 days to keep their temperature normal and also give wormers for the mother cat and whatever you do, do not this the problem is temporary and will cure itself. A Adult cat has the immune system to survive fevers and high temperatures but kittens do not especially if they are under 10 weeks old
