Cat Behavior

Rag-doll cats are the same as other cats. The only differences is that they can flop on your shoulder and stay there and you don't have to hold them there. It isn't cruel to them because is doesn't hurt them and that's what the are bred to do.

Cats have scent glands on the sides of their faces. When a cat rubs up against someone or something, it is claiming that person or thing as part of its territory. :) Often, this is done out of affection for a person who they like and/or lives with them. Also, like the previous poster said, it creates an enjoyable feeling.

Because your cat is enticed by the bird. My cat often sits by the window to watch birds and squirrels. Tail twitching is a normal activity.

Well....it depends. For example, a cat that is 10 yards away from a cat with a disease won't catch anything, but when cats greet each other, they normally sniff each others noses. Even if their noses do not touch, this could transmit disease.

When cats groom one another, biting is typically involved as a method of gently scratching one another, showing dominance, and helping to remove parasites. By doing this, a cat is showing that they accept you as a part of the social group, and are attempting to groom you.

============

The cat appreciates you. It could also be disciplining you if you do something you don't like. Only you can decide.

Cats have individual personalities and traits. One of mine will hit you if you stop petting him before he is ready. No claw, just a quick smack.

Yes, they can. Cats are predators and have forward-facing eyes, thus have very good depth-perception which aids in hunting, climbing and other activities. The only area they cannot see is right under their nose.

yes and no because they like it warm better than cold but they don't like it to hot because i know that when ever it go out side they try to come inside and if they do i just get a sponge and dab them with water.

Cats have retractable claws .

My Cat Likes to Hide in Boxes was created in 1974.

Usually not. But they will if they lack proper nutrition.

Too many Cheetahs! HAHAHAHAHAHA! no they are stupid

My cat only wheezes sometimes. I'm still trying to find a way to get rid of it. My mom and dad used to say that she was irritated, but they were wrong. She wheezes whenever theres somebody around...or she is sick (that makes sense). I do not know the final cure to it.

Umm yes you can but you really shouldn't.

== == * I'm not sure if he was mean and cruel to you, but if he was just ignoring you and suddenly has taken a interest in you then it's possible he's beginning to see the true qualities you have. You may want to take notice. Keep your guard up and play it slow! If you go in too fast, he may change back. Good luck! * I actually kinda did this with my one friend. we were really good friends and we joked and stuff and then i started to get attracted to her and she noticed i was acting very different around her. and that she really liked it and now we are going out and its great. so that may be it.

God made cats and he decided how long they live.

It means the cat was in the street and you ran over it with your car or other vehicle.

yes that is verry bad take it to a vet

Not at all, unless you're doing it constantly to purposefully stress the cat. Cats generally don't need baths, but to give a bath once in a while to get a cat clean is often necessary.

Not if you damage them first.....

It depends on how far it goes- cats, especially indoor ones, aren't made for walking long distances.

Okay, the best thing to do is this, go to a local cat or animal store and buy KMR Kitten Milk, get bottles with the nipples and start holding the kittens in one arm, and the bottle in your other hand .If the mother comes back let them do their thing, if they start milking and the mother starts to leave just hold her bottom and chest down lightly, just light enough to hold her down and allow the kittens to milk.


Another answer:
If you can get her to settle in your lap, pet her and make her comfortable. Then have someone bring the kittens to your lap, one at a time, so she can feed her kittens without giving up the pleasures she used to have before they came along. (If there's nobody to hand you the kittens, put them where you can reach them easily.) Unless you're wearing a skirt, you should put a towel or something over your lap so nobody falls through!


Sometimes mother cats need a break away from the kids, just like humans.


Or she may have sore nipples. They should be enlarged and pink, but healthy looking.

another cats scent markings.it could be afraid because it seems like its the other cats territory

Melonie didn't know about her surprise party until someone was talking to her and accidentally let the cat out of the bag.

Eating grass, sickness, and eating to much food are among a few reasons a cat might throw up.

If you are worried about your cat getting pregnant, once she is spayed the risk is zero - her uterus and ovaries have been removed so she physically cannot generate eggs to be fertilized nor carry a fetus to term.

If you are worried about her running off chasing after prey or something interesting, if the area is enclosed there shouldn't be a problem. I will warn you that I have an active 2.5 year old cat and she can get into and out of places that I would have sworn she couldn't access or escape. Nothing is perfect as far as enclosing an exploring cat except a steel cage, and even that is suspect with some cats.

The primary concern with taking an indoor cat and letting it wander around outside is that in the outdoors your cat is exposed to various diseases such as rabies, Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV), Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), calicivirus (upper respiratory infections), etc. Some of these can be vaccinated against, but some cannot.

Another option to letting your indoor cat explore the great outdoors is to use a harness and leash - these are sold at most pet stores and are designed for cats. Unlike a dog, you can't assume a simple collar will hold around a cat - you do need a harness that fits around the shoulder and rib cage and has straps that run between the front legs. I bought one of these for US$10-15, and my cat loves it. I supervise her carefully so she doesn't go running off after birds or squirrels, keep her out of the street and limit her exposure to diseases without keeping her locked up inside. It is also a very nice excuse to be outside in the sun for a while, and if you are in a residential neighborhood it can help you meet the neighbors.
