Cat Behavior

Mama cats may not have a favorite kitten, but they may show more attention to specific kittens at times based on various factors such as feeding, grooming, or social bonding. However, a mama cat generally cares for all her kittens equally.

Your cat may be yowling and urinating due to stress, anxiety, or a medical issue such as a urinary tract infection. It's important to rule out any medical causes by taking your cat to the vet for a check-up. Additionally, providing environmental enrichment, such as interactive toys and vertical spaces, can help alleviate stress and prevent unwanted behaviors.

Age? Indoor/outdoor? Did he recently fall? Is he normally healthy? Do you have kids?

You didn't give *nearly* enough information for anyone to help you, but I'll still give you the best answer: bring your cat to a vet if he's been limping long enough to raise concern.

If your cat is having trouble finding their litter box, it may indicate a health issue or underlying problem with the litter box location or cleanliness. It is advisable to consult a veterinarian to rule out any medical concerns and to evaluate the litter box setup to ensure it is accessible and appealing to your cat.

Cats view their tails as extensions of their bodies and use them for balance and communication. Pulling on their tails can cause pain and discomfort, leading to a negative association with that action. It may also trigger their natural instinct to protect their vulnerable rear end from potential threats.

It is most likely a sign of bonding and affection between the kittens. Licking behaviors are common among cats and can be a way for them to groom each other and strengthen their social bond, even if they are not biological siblings.

Yes, cats can indeed get fat. It has nothing to do with a cat's coat pattern. Cats become overweight due to being overfed or fed low-quality food.

Many dry foods and low-quality wet foods are often packed with carbohydrates - "filler" in the way of grains and cereals, none of which cats can digest or gain any nutrients from. Grain is used instead of meat because it is cheaper to produce and helps kibble pieces hold together. Cats need MEAT based protein, not PLANT based protein. Cats will often overeat on lower quality foods because they are not getting all the nutrients they need, which often results in obesity and diabetes.

Scratching a cat's tail bone can trigger their natural reflexes to groom themselves, as they may interpret the sensation as grooming from another cat. This can cause them to show signs of excitement or pleasure, leading to playful behavior. However, it's important to note that not all cats enjoy having their tail bone scratched, so it's essential to observe your cat's reactions and stop if they seem uncomfortable.

She usually moves them because she doesn't feel the spot they are in is "safe enough".

When a mother is worried about her kittens, she may move them to hide them form everyone and everything, even you. If she feels very threatened, she may kill her kittens as a form of protecting them. If you see your mother cat exhibiting anxious qualities, monitor her activity with the kittens closely and consider keeping her caged.

Kittens need a very warm temperature to survive. If the mother does not stay with the kittens, you may need to supply heat from an outside source, like a heat lamp. Large litters will typically stay warmer, using body heat. Make sure that the box where the newborn kittens are staying is about 85-90 degrees Fahrenheit for at least the first week of life. However, mothers may feel as through their kittens are in danger if there is too much light. You can calm an anxious mother by placing a blanket loosely over the top of the box.

As long as she moves them somewhere safe don't worry about it.

Female cats should be kept indoors for at least 7-10 days after spaying to allow for proper healing and to prevent any complications. It is important to follow the veterinarian's instructions for post-operative care to ensure the cat's well-being.

If a cat scratches you, and you do not tend to the scratch, it will very likely become infected. Cat scratches can become very seriously infected almost overnight.

When a cat scratches you, immediately wash the scratch with soap and antiseptic, and coat with a liberal dose of antibiotic cream such as Neosporin. Depending on the depth and severity of the scratch, you may need to head to the Dr for an antibiotic shot. Should you decide to self treat, watch closely for signs of infection. At the first sign of redness spreading out from the scratch, go to the ER.

I know three people who were badly scratched by cats and who did not seek treatment. All three wound up in the ER several days later with raging infections. Each one of the cats was a pet, so it wasn't like some dirty clawed feral did the deed. Always take cat scratches seriously!

It is a cabbit.

You say, Hey can I have your cat if you don't want it?

it's not something for an inexperienced person but!

here is my answer.

build roll tracks, that u can put wheels in.(these must be two sided)

make absolutely sure they are identical but reversed.

attach your pieces, and wheels.

this in theory should allow the roll up door to be moveable.

The mother cat will be very tired at first. We live on a farm and have lots of cats and our mother cats will usually stay with the kittens for maybe a day or two then come out for food and then quickly get back to the babies. Don't worry. Healthy cats can survive a couple days without food.

Some cats may drool when they are very relaxed or content, similar to purring. However, excessive drooling can be a sign of dental issues or other health problems and should be checked by a veterinarian.

Cats have a strong sense of smell and they use it to identify objects and people. Your cat may be sniffing your face while you sleep to gather information about you or your surroundings. It could also be a way for the cat to check on your well-being and show affection.

This behavior is likely due to your male cat trying to assert dominance or is attempting to mate with the female cat. It's essential to monitor their interactions to ensure the female cat's safety and well-being. Consider neutering the male cat to reduce this behavior and help maintain a harmonious environment between your cats.

It really depends on who the owner is and things like that, But if It likes there owner more than you, you should understand that. It's different with if it has no owner, and depends on the Animal's mood and Yours. Animals can sense your different moods. If you are angry, they might be more afraid than if you were calm. If you annoy the animal then it is not going to like you, and may even be scared of you. If you annoy the Animal and the other person doesn't, the animal will most likely like the person who does NOT annoy it. Animals (more intelligent ones like dogs and cats) CAN recognize different people and may take a liking to one more than the other.

A wild counterpart for a house cat is the African wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica), which is believed to be the ancestor of domestic cats. They are similar in appearance and behavior to domestic cats but are strictly wild animals.

During the flehmen response, cats are drawing in scents through a specialized organ called the vomeronasal organ, located in the roof of their mouth. This behavior allows them to analyze and process pheromones and other chemical cues from the environment or other animals.
