Cat Behavior

Of your cat is good with the opposite species, then a dog

A castrated male cat is usually just called a "neutered" or "fixed" male.

cats are only blind at birth and survive on the mothers milk for the first few weeks

No. One life. But cats are very resilient and do heal quite quickly.

Unfortunately, there is mating time and this is usually when cats will spray on everything (also inside the house if you own one and they are not spayed or neutered.) If you go to your pet store they do have a special spray out that you can spray around the perimeter of your home. Other than this, there isn't much else you can do.

If the kittens are handled too early then the mother will kill them. If there is something wrong with the kitten then she will also kill them. Some times if this is her first litter she does not know what she is suppose to do and she will kill them accidently. What behaviours did your female cat show before and after she delivered her kittens?

The age of the cat is also a factor to look at as very young cats have no idea what they are doing. Its the same with young children having babies. Accidents happen and sometimes cats kill if they think that their babies are in danger of being hurt. I know how wierd that sounds.

Please note that this does not always happen! My cat was one when she gave birth to a litter of 5 (first litter). She gave birth at the vets so her kittens were handled from a very early age!

In many countries, they are believed to have nine lives, but in Italy, Germany, Greece, Brazil and some Spanish-speaking regions, they are said to have seven lives, while in Turkish and Arabic traditions, the number of lives is six.

No kitten should be fed a diet of strictly oatmeal! Cats are carnivores and need meat protein as the major part of their diets. Get Royal Canin Babycat dry food for the kitten. The kibbles are tiny enough for baby kittens to chew. Keep a bowl of this available for the kitten at all times, along with a bowl of fresh water. Also, buy some Wellness canned kitten food and feed one rounded tablespoonful about 3 times a day on a small plate or saucer. When the kitten is about 8 weeks of age, replace the Royal Canin Babycat food with Wellness Healthy Kitten. (Wellness pet foods do not contain corn or wheat. They are specially made with human-grade meat.) Nikki the Kittylady

You can expect pregnancy within 6 months. Whenever the female cat goes into heat. Also the pregnancy will take from 60-70 days. Good luck with your kittens!

Pregnant women do not have to avoid cats. Just kitty litter.

There are a few potential problems regarding pregnant women and cat litter. The first is that cat urine contains ammonia: some people say that breathing in the ammonia fumes can harm the fetus. However, there are others who say that this is just a myth.

The second problem is with the litter itself. Many cat litters -- especially the clay kind -- have harmful toxins in them. When you pour the fresh litter into the litter box, or when you dig through the litter to remove the urine and feces, or when the cat digs around in there himself, some of the litter disintegrates and floats up into the air. Breathing in this dust can harm the fetus, by causing retardation, epilepsy, brain atrophy, and blindness.

Furthermore, exposure to cat feces can cause the disease toxoplasmosis, which can harm both mother and fetus. However, this disease is extremely rare among indoors-only cats, so if your cat is an indoor cat, you don't need to worry about this.

There is no reason a pregnant woman can't have a cat, as long as she takes the proper precautions. If someone isn't available to tend to the litter box for her, then she should wear gloves and a surgical mask when tending to the box. Also, the litter box should have a lid on it.

I have included links to the articles I got this information from.

when cats get older they are less active just like humans, there is no set amount of sleep they should be getting, or shouldn't be getting. some cats are also nocturnal (they sleep in the day and are awake at night) so you may think he is sleeping as well at night when he could really be up playing and doing normal cat things.

Time is not usually the factor here. It's much more complex than that.

The mechanisms for flowering are generally poorly understood except for in a small group of agriculturally or horticulturally important plants. It is a combination of temperature, age, nutrients, and often the ratio of hours of light to darkness, as well as the species.

It is cleaning each other and is also a sign of affection sometimes.

This is arguable because I have never heard of a case of lesbian housecats; my nine and seven-year-old female cats may be seen licking each others faces and purring. However, they are mother and daughter and may also be seen in the next five minutes or so swatting at each other and playfully hissing.

He MIGHT be sick or he may have a presents of something like a new cat or ect

Your question isnt very clear but if she is an indoor/outdoor cat just make sure she can get back in to feed her babies. She will know when its time.

You can put a sticky tape substance on top of the car, or keep the cat inside.

Don't pick him/her up while it gets to know your scent. If feral then wear gloves in case kitten prickly lil one. If inside try to isolate him in one room and put towels and tshirts w your scent on it do kitten becomes used to you. And don't push the kitten to stop they'll eventually stop and become used to you always on their own time. Cats do what they want and kittens are in training to get humans to do their every command.

I've heard two theories:

1. Your sexually arousing your cat

2. You are scratching an area where they can't reach, which is similar to when you scratch a dog and their leg moves

Cats can live in all biomes since they adapt to every place they go. Cats can live in cold weather, warm and hot weather, and humid weather.

Cats are very independent animals and don't like being controlled that much. But if you are very good to them and treat them well, they will listen to you and will be much easier to teach.

Whenever he poops on the couch take the poo and put it in his litter tray usually cats walk around a lot when they are about to wee or poo if you see him do this quickly pick him up and put him in the litter tray repeat this process for a week or two and hopefully your cat will soon realise where to poo.

go to the vet

Answer: The mother cat seems to be handing the kitten over, rejecting it, maybe this kitten is unwell or has a defect, or maybe the mother is struggling to look after her whole litter and is giving the weakest one up, so that she can concentrate on the stronger kittens. Advice: If you are always returning the kitten to her and she just keeps bringing it back and putting it in obvious danger maybe you should consider hand raising this kitten, bottle feeding etc.. Until it is stronger, but please read up on how to do this properly, this is if mother cat really isn't wanting anything to do with this kitten, and you are concerned its health is being compromised.

Male cats are not spayed through the abdomen. They are castrated, which is done by cutting off their testicles.

The most obvious would be a screen door. If that isn't possible, try setting kitty up in her own room with water and toys for the time you have your door open.
