Cat Behavior

Cats have poor light vision and will often lose track of an object if it is not moving, however the reflectors in their eyes allow the to see very well in low light. They can see most colors, but have trouble with red and green, and their peripheral vision is huge.

Cats can hear very soft sounds and very high pitched sounds that humans can't, though they sometimes miss the really low sounds.

Cats can't taste sweetness, only salty, sour and bitter.

Cats have amazing smell to help with their hunting, and a little organ under their lip that lets them pick up the scents of other cats, carrying all sorts of information about them.

Cats don't have any special sense of touch, except for their whiskers, which have delicate nerve endings to help them feel vibrations, wind, hot, and cold.

It's not proven, but supposedly cats have other senses, like feeling the emotions of other living things, or knowing there's going to be a storm or an earthquake.

Cats purr usually when they are happy and content, but cats do use purring also to calm others, a dying cat may purr just to calm itself too.

A cat may purr while eating if he really likes the food, so his favourite food will propably be the one to cause purring to occur. Do note, that not all cats purr when they eat. It is quite an achievement to do two things at once with your throat.

in the sky mall magazine, there is a doggies and Kittie doorbell that you wireless connect the doorbell to the wall on the inside of the house then an instruction packet comes with the doorbell package to train the pet and voila! your pet doesn't scratch the door anymore!

Boars Mate is a synthetic pheromone designed to mimic the boar's natural sex pheromones. While it may reduce unwanted behaviors in some animals, there is no guarantee that it will deter a male cat from chasing and biting a female cat. It is best to consult with a veterinarian or animal behaviorist for advice on managing the behavior.

Because they desperately want to be stalking and killing said birds, most likely. Cats are born hunters, and will often kill just for the fun of it. Basically, that quivering chirping is an expression of combined excitement and desire.

Cats can't eat human food because their is a chance they can contract worms such as roundworms or tapeworms, although this is not very common. Many human foods can actually harm a cat as they are toxic: Chocolate, onion, garlic, raw potatoes and tomatoes, grapes and raisins. Cow's milk and a large amount of cheese are not tolerated well be many cats also. They, of course, can be fed human food (meat, for example) as an occasional treat, but should never be fed such foods as part of their daily diet as this does not meet a cat's nutritional requirements, or could make the cat sick.

It is difficult to determine who the most spoiled cat ever is, as many cats are pampered and loved by their owners. Spoiling a cat is a way for owners to show their love and provide a comfortable life for their feline friend.

Cats are natural hunters and prefer to eat the most nutrient-rich parts of their prey, like the head and organs, first. They may leave the body behind if they are full or if they are unable to eat the whole prey in one sitting. This behavior is instinctual and stems from their hunting and feeding habits in the wild.

Your cat may be experiencing stress or anxiety, leading to a response known as "feline idiopathic cystitis." This can cause them to freeze in place due to discomfort and then urinate uncontrollably. It's essential to identify and address the underlying cause to help your cat feel more secure and reduce the likelihood of this behavior. Consulting with a veterinarian is recommended for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

Like most of the animals i have had, they will make it known that something is happening so they can feel safe. If it is an outside cat then the only way is to keep it inside. Good luck and congrats.

it's about 15 years old,but l'm not really sure

They are sexually mature as soon as six months under adverse conditions, such as starvation, where their body tries to get a new generation going before it's too late, or among many Oriental breeds who mature early.

Physically, full size cats can take four or five years in such large breeds as the Maine Coon, Norwegian Forest Cat, and Siberian. A cat under adverse conditions can actually postpone their full growth until times get better. That ten month old you adopted that the vet confidently predicted wouldn't get much bigger? They can double their size in the next year, with a good home, consistent food, and knowing they are loved.

Under ideal conditions, a cat, depending on breed, should be done by the age of two years; first year, gets their bone structure done, second year, filling out their muscle structure. Neutering or spaying has no effect on their eventual size, though male cats, done before the thickening of the neck and broadening of the cheekbones under the influence of male hormone, will not develop these traits.

Most vets reccommend waiting until the kittens are two or three months old. Be sure that you have been playing with the kitten and petting it and getting it used to people, because if you don't, it will not be a good pet.

She should be fed four times a day, about 4-6 hours apart, to maintain her energy levels and properly care for the kittens. It's important to provide her with high-quality kitten food to support her milk production.

Start by creating separate spaces for each cat to reduce territorial conflicts. Slowly introduce the cats by swapping their bedding or using a pheromone diffuser to help reduce aggression. Gradually allow supervised interactions, rewarding positive behavior with treats or playtime. Be patient and provide plenty of vertical space and hiding spots for each cat to feel secure.

There are many varied in which animals compete with each other to attract a mate. A few are listed below:

Scent - some animals are capable of producing a hormonal scent, females respond to this and are able to track the male.

Colour display - many animals change colour at mating time, this is especially common in fish and chimpanzees. The colour change is used to show that the animal is 'available'.

Mock fighting - a lot of animals have 'fights' where the winner gets the mate. This type of fighting includes antler comparison in bucks (male deer) and peacock feather expansion. Although entitled fighting the animals rarely injure each other.

Hope this helps

Purring is a sign of the cat's contentment; it doesn't necessarily mean the cat likes you, but it definitely likes whatever is happening when it sits with you (whether it is being scratched under the chin, kept warm, etc.).

Kittens are typically easier to train than adult cats because they are in a developmental stage where they are more receptive to learning and forming habits. Cats can still be trained, but it may take more time and patience compared to kittens.

Mother cats carry their kittens by the neck because this is where they are naturally built to pick them up. The loose skin around the neck allows the mother cat to transport her kittens safely without causing harm. It also helps the mother cat to move her kittens to a new location quickly and efficiently.

It is not normal for a cat to lose large clumps of fur regularly. This could be a sign of an underlying health issue such as allergies, parasites, or stress. It's best to consult with a veterinarian to determine the cause and appropriate treatment.

Stray cats typically have a more disheveled appearance, may appear malnourished, and are often skittish around humans. They may not have a collar or identification tags. In contrast, house cats are usually well-groomed, have a healthy appearance, and may be more comfortable around people.

if your cat was stolen , you hang up posters saying MISSING CAT, Then under that say its name, where you live,your phone number, and under neath all that you need to put a picture of your cat.If that doesnt work then im sorry that's all i can do. P.S. you might also wanna try walking around your neighboor hood and calling your cats name out while you hang up the posters.

Wait patiently for the cat with a high-powered water pistol or squeezy bottle full of cold, sterile water. When it enters the house give it a soaking, It won't be able to leave fast enough and is guaranteed not to return in a hurry! This is a perfectly humane deterrant and will not hurt the cat in any way. Since cats are very proud creatures, however, you will probably cause it to feel highly humiliated! (Another reason for it to stay away!) Alternatively, it is said that Lion faeces is the most potent deterrant to unwelcome animals. The smell alone is enough to keep even large dogs away! Of course, that is all well & good if you happen to have a local Lion faeces supplier! If not, go back to the water pistol idea; (This from a cat lover:) it really does work! There are also various sonic emitters available to buy. These keep animals away by making a continuous ultrasonic noise. From experience, though, they are not particularly reliable and have a tendancy to keep all animals away, not just cats. (Ok if you don't like birds, etc either!) Studies have also made potential links between inaudible noise and stress / irritability / migraines / insomnia.
