Why does my male cat 9 months old attacks my female 13 year old cat both fixed?

I think this just may be an issue of domination over the other. Males usually will fight for the top, no even if they are fixed or what gender they may be. If you have just introduced either or to the other, your male might not be ready to accept his new acquaintance. Try keeping them apart for a couple of days at least, and then slowly start reintroducing them. Cats are usually cautious over new people or animals that may be introduced to them, ecspecially if they haven't been socialized as much when they were younger. Also make sure that you closely observe them both the next time your male trys to fight. You might learn a lot more from the body posture and language of both cats. Is your male taking a large stance, swatting his tail and pinning his ears back? If so, you are right in saying that he is picking a fight. However, if his body is somewhat relaxed, his ears pricked and his eyes bright, he may just want to play the other cat. If this continues being a problem, you can always consult your veterinarian for other options.

Is it a bad sign when a cat trembles when its eating?

Answer

You didn't give us much information on your dog. If the dog was from a former owner or you got it at the ASPCA then the former owner could have been cruel when the dog ate (even tormented it) or, the dog was never fed well in the first place. I got a nice little Cairn X named 'Lady' from the SPCA in British Columbia in the 70's (best little dog ever) and she did the same thing. My husband and I knew that the former owner, although not cruel was extremely strict about the dogs eating habits and was high on commands (letting the dog sit for Lord know how long before being allowed to eat.) I ended up on the floor stroking Daisy and encouraging her to eat. It took about a week and she was fine after that. I also introduced chicken off our own plates and let her see me do it and then put it on top of her dog food (never give a dog scraps off your plate and feed them from the table because it will make them beg.)

It would be to your best interest to take your dog to the vet and be sure that your dog doesn't have a bowel obstruction of any sort or that the dog may need a special diet. Dogs can get cramping, may not have bowel movements or your dog may be suffering from something else. Don't second guess your pet and when in doubt take the dog to the vet.

Um....it is a bad sign when a CAT trembles while eating. They might be cold or they could be having difficulty eating. To get all the facts straight about your cats health have it checked by a vet then explain about the trembling.

How come my cat knows when to return home after i let it out?

They know because they are familiar with their surroundings. If your cat is too young(lets say 2 weeks old), then they aren't familiar with their surroundings. If you let your cat out at this age and you think that they know their surroundings, something bad can happen to them like: a person steals your cat, they get hit by a car, etc. I do not let my cat out ever, because of the dangers out in the world. Cats live longer if they are indoor cats. :)

What do you do if your cat wont stop eating till all her food is gone and is that bad for her health?

Maybe you should try to feed it like once or twice a day, feed it less if you think it's too much, But if that doesn't help take it to the vet.

What do you do if you pick up your cat from under its arms and meows in pain?

You could just have picked it up in such a way that you hurt the cat, but if you usually do this and it never caused this reaction, then I would take the cat in to your vet and have it checked out.
