Why do cats make mittens?

I think you are referring to what is commonly called kneading. This is when a cat moves it's paws in and out alternating with left and right paw and usually extending it's claws on the forward push and retracting it's claws on the pull.

My moms cat is old lately it's been drinking lots of water and not being able to control its bladder got any ideas what's wrong with it?

His kidneys may be failing. In an old cat, this is to be expected. It is also very serious, so you have to take the cat to the vet. No one on the internet is really going to be able to help you, since we can't see and touch the cat. An actual veterinarian needs to examine the cat, and run blood and urine tests and stuff.

If you need help finding a vet or an animal emergency hospital, see the Related Links below.

Why do cats like to be in high places?

Cats like to be leader. And they like to spread their scent. So they will sleep on your couch, and spread across your chairs like a big furry boa. And when the cat is hungry, he/she rubs on your legs. That is partly because they want to get your attention, plus it spreads their scent.

Cats also like to look down upon their subjects, so they might jump on the kitchen table, or jump on the refridgerator top, like my cats. If they have favorite treats, like my cat with butter, they'll jump up on the kitchen chairs behind me when I'm buttering toats, or waffles, or poptarts, or anything that comes from the toaster.

Cats like to be kingly/queenly, and be the ruler of the household.

Is it safe to alter a kitten in their first heat?

This soley depends on the vet. Some vets will spay a cat while in heat, while others will not, due to the increased chance of the cat bleeding out during the procedure. It is best to spay the kitten before its first heat to decrease the chance of unwanted spraying.

Will a feral cat come back to their kittens if you touch them?

I'm not absolutely sure, but queens (cats nursing kittens) often feel a great sense of motherhood when their young is still small; it really depends on the age. As in many other things, feral cats do behave differently to domestic cats, but I'd still say that they would come back if they knew you were handling them; especially if you're being rough.

Why do cats have 9 lives and humans have 1?

Cats don't actually live nine lives really it's just a myth. Cats really have one life just like other animals and us. Cats can survive death by landing on their feet, if they were to land on their side or even their head it could kill them. I'm not saying you should test this out. I'm saying it's like cats have nine lives because they can cheat death the way they do.

How much time need a cat to be decomposed?

There is no way to answer this, as it depends on many factors, such as the soil in which it is buried, and how deeply, if it is buried at all. Some bodies have been found virtually unchanged, for instance, after thousands of years buried in a peat bog. Left on the surface but untouched by scavengers, it is likely that something as small as a cat would last perhaps a month. Buried three to six feet in clay, it is more likely that it would not decompose for a year or more.

How does catnip affect a cat's sight?

No, catnip does not affect a cat's eyesight. It does affect their mood and gives them a temporary feeling of euphoria.

Can someone have both grandiose fantasies but not arrogant behavior and a constant need for attention and not be a narcissist?

yes they can hide it well but they still will be a narcissist. I agree, this sounds like a narcissist who is hiding it. If you listen carefully to a narcissist, you will usually notice they do try to make themselves sound good, even if they don't sound obviously arrogant. Conversations always come back to them and their interests, or what they think about someone else, or their powers...but it can be very subtle. One trademark of the narcissist is their short attention span when you talk about yourself or your interests. Some will cut you off in mid-sentence, check their watch, wander off, stare into space or get a glazed look in their eyes. Some will even fall asleep. They usually can't hide their lack of interest in other people's doings. Their wavering attention span seems to be their Achilles' heel.

What do you use with cat behavior when spray bottles don't work?

You can try shaking a coffee can filled with coins at the cat. It makes a very loud noise that most cats hate.

Can feliway stop cats from biting people?

Feliway is ment to help calm a cat down and to lessen stress. So if the cat is biting because it's upset or stressed, then yes.

If, however, the behavior is something it's Always done, then the problem is Training- so Feliway wont help much. You would need to Train the cat that this behavior is a problem.

When cats play together (or fight) they bite, a cat has to be trained that they have to be more gentle with people.

What is a cat whipper?

I hope you mean a "bird whipper" which is a toy which is used to tease your cat with. They are basically a short whip with feathers on the end: The cat willl try to catch the feathers when flicked about in front of them.

However, on a more somber note: There is a cat whipper lane in Finland, so named because a man that lived on that street euthanized sick cats for their owners.

What would happen if you gave a woman a male hormone?

It depends a lot on the woman, the dose of hormones, and which specific hormone you have to her. A typical reaction to many male hormones, especially at a higher dose, is to develop some more masculine traits and tendencies. Depending on the woman's size, body chemistry, and how much of the hormone you gave to her, she could have completely different results. I'd expect to see anything from absolutely no change to the woman developing definite, distinct male traits. Her voice could deepen, her interest in sex would likely increase, and it's possible she might grow facial hair. Your question is so vague that it's really hard to answer, but I gave it a shot.
