Cat Behavior

Typically, a Siamese cat can give birth to a litter of 4-6 kittens, although litters sizes can range from 1-8 kittens. The average litter size for a Siamese cat is around 4-5 kittens.

Firstly, no animal likes the vets and the stress of a visit there won't do a pregnant cat any good. Some cats will go into complete panic and that may trigger a miscarriage. Second, as with people, cats' body-functions are particularly delicate during pregnancy. Anything introduced into their system will upset the ballance to a certain degree. This is best avoided if possible. Having said all that, some vets will recommend otherwise and will be happy to explain to you why. It is best in this situation to consult a vet you like and trust, and to follow his or her advice.

STRUCTURAL- operculum (mouth seal) that closes when a predator or a big wave approaches

FUNCTIONAL- Also, to avoid drying out the Catseye snail can store water in the base of its shell to use later.

Kittens should stay with their Mom until at least 10 weeks, thoroughly weaned. They learn all their skills from Momma Cat so never feel the rush to take them from the mother, as this can lead to serious problems for the kittens in later life.

A 6 month female cat will crouch with her tail in the air and cry because she is in "season". She will do this for 1-2 weeks. Keep her indoors if you don't want her to become pregnant and get her neutered asap. You will notice that male cats will start to appear around the time this behaviour starts.

I have an outdoor cat, and he is vey happy. Outdoors is a very good choice for any new pet. Good way to avoid cleaning litter boxes. Cats bury their waste, so if you let them out, you will never see any. To train them, let them out for short periods of time, while following them abot 10 feet behind them. Eventually, they will learn to come back to your house on their own. Try not to let them out at night, unless you live in the city, because there are a lot of coyotes at night.... Good luck!

Yes, an orange cat can get pregnant if she mates with a male cat while in heat. The color of the cat does not affect its ability to reproduce. It is important to spay or neuter cats to prevent unwanted litters.

Most don't, but if their raised together as kittens they will create a fondness for each other. Adult cats are territorial and generally will fight, let alone start licking each other. Adult cats won't even recognize a sibling if they've been seperated.

If you really want your cats to become friends, expect and allow fights, otherwise they will never determine their relative social ranks and without knowing rank cats can never be friends. Unfortunately fights can get messy and bloody. If one cat persists in immediately declaring "total war" on others, isolate it where it can smell them but not see them. If the cats are well "cat socialized" they will automatically limit fights to swatting and wrestling without using claws, as neither really wants to get hurt but they can still fight hard this way. If you can't tolerate cat fights, your cats can't become friends and you will have to put up with it. There must be one and only one Topcat.

* Usually if you spay a female cat a young age, this isn't a problem, but if for some reason it isn't until maybe she is 3 or 4 (or older) years old, to wander is still part of her instinct. Many animals are this way.

Any animal that kills its offspring does so out of stress that over rides their instinct to procreate. Either the babies are malformed, or there is environmental stress, such as lack of food or water.

It's possible for your cat to stop hissing over time as they adjust to the presence of the new cat. Try providing separate spaces, resources, and positive associations to help them feel more comfortable. If the hissing persists, consider consulting a vet or animal behaviorist for guidance.

A cat's season is usually every two to four weeks, with each season lasting around two weeks. Cats will start to meow and almost howl and it can get quite annoying as they will not stop, they become almost too friendly. They stick their hind end in the air constantly and if they are indoor cat they will often try to get out or you may see male cats hanging about.

It is best to spay a female cat before her first heat, so before she reaches six months old is the ideal age.

It means he completely trusts the other cat, if the cat rolls on his belly in front of a human it means the same thing

That or like humans the cats a subservient and does that to every cat

your cat may have a disease. or is just unable to carry kittens. either that or the father might have a disease. a disease that makes them unable to have kittens. you should take your cat to the vet to see why.

Bengal cats can get along well with other cats if properly socialized from a young age. They may display dominant behavior due to their active and playful nature, so introductions should be gradual to ensure a harmonious relationship with other cats in the household. Providing plenty of vertical space and enrichment can help minimize potential conflicts.

No. Aborting a pregnant animal's unborn will help control the pet population.

Every year, upwards of 5 million perfectly healthy cats and dogs are murdered every year in shelters due to overcrowding and over populating. Take a look at your pets at home. Now imagine them in that cold, dark room at the shelter and watch the fear in their eyes as that needle is inserted in their veins and they begin to feel the effects of the murdering drug. Their pupils are wide. There is fear in their eyes. Then they collapse and struggle for about 30 seconds and then they are gone.

Results from surverys done in the previous years, shows that at the time nationwide euthanasias had gone down 75% in the preceding 20 years on a dog and cat population basis. With the increased emphasis on spay and neuter, and the emergence of rescue groups in the past few years, there's every reason to think that the trend has continued. If so, today, the national annual shelter and pound euthanasia rate would be around 4% of the total dog and cat populations. Numbers of the two species have been roughly comparable; however, the favorable trend in cats is slowing and may have reversed in some areas due to the establishment of feral breeding populations.

Well, my cat recently had a spontaneous abortion during very early pregnancy and developed a vaginal infection. I had her spayed once I discovered the infection. A few days after the surgery, the cat began being very vocal. She would try to grab ahold of my hand and my other cat's scruff to move us somewhere as if we were her new born kittens. I believe she knew she was pregnant, and now after the surgery she no longer had that feeling but still had motherly instincts.

idk.. But ive done it before. as an owner of 9 cats, 5 dogs, and 7 parrots, (62 fish) and a koi fish, I would suppose so. Just ask the vet first I would assume you should for the safety of your pet.

If all goes well, the mother cat will do most of the work :)

Check to make sure that she is cleaning the kittens and letting them suckle. If she refuses to suckle the "runt" of the litter, you may need to bottle-feed it. Consult your veterinarian about this.

For the first few weeks, the kittens won't do much except eat and sleep. Make sure the mom and kittens have a warm, comfortable living space (perhaps a cat-bed or a nest of blankets) Feed the mom more food then usual because she needs to provide nutrients for herself and the kittens.

Be cautious about handling the kittens because the mama cat will be very protective. She probably won't let you near them for the first week or so.

Speak to your veterinarian about any problems that arise, and make an appointment for the kittens so they can get their shots, etc.

If you don't intend to keep all the kittens, it is never too early to start searching for their new homes! Many people don't realize how difficult it is to find homes for kittens, and many cats end up in animal shelters for this reason. So be responsible and start your search early! Remember though, the kittens have to stay with their mother until they're AT LEAST 12 weeks old

Hope this Helps :)

Cats may roll onto their backs to stretch, cool down, or show vulnerability and trust. It could also be a way to get attention or invite play. Each cat is different, so their reasons for doing this may vary.

Cats typically have a strong aversion to fire due to their acute sense of smell and awareness of danger. They are likely to flee from fire and seek a safe place to hide. In the event of a fire, it is important to keep your cat indoors and evacuate together if it is safe to do so.

It takes just 57 - 69 days, approximately 65 days, just about 2 months. After she goes into labor, 1 - 4 hours.

3 reasons:

1) Pets which share living space with people are basically childish versions of their wild ancestors. They're bred not to mature completely, which keeps them cute, docile and dependent. It also makes them likely to treat the owner as a parent figure.

2) Cats have to be timid animals because it's so risky to be a small carnivore who hunts alone. Having people around for protection is probably reassuring.

3) There are rewards that a cat gets for staying close to its owner: warmth, petting, treats, a lap to sleep on, etc.

It ultimately depends on the individual personalities of the havanese and the cat. Some havanese dogs can coexist peacefully with cats, especially if properly introduced and supervised. However, it's important to monitor their interactions closely to ensure the safety and well-being of both animals.

The Sphinx cat gets its name from its resemblance to the mythical creature the Sphinx, which has a lion's body and a human head. Just like the mythological Sphinx, the cat breed is known for its sleek and muscular body, large ears, and lack of fur on most of its body.

A kitten is usually weaned around 5 to 8 weeks but it has been known that they will nurse for 6 months or longer, although this depends on the momma cat. Sometimes if there is only one kitten the mother may not cut the kittens off at all you may have to separate them so that the momma cat will dry up.
