Can a cat birth a underdeveloped kitten and still carry the rest to full term?
It's possible that the cat can miscarry one kitten and still carry the rest full term. If your cat has miscarried one kitten, I advise you to take her to the vet because if a kitten died in her it could make her very ill, or even die, and it can also harm the other kittens.
How do you keep your cat off the pool table?
cats understand when given repetetive scolding. Give her a light slap on the butt and yell "no" and they tend to understand. the first few goes will get the little bugger off for good. Cats are curious though, but dont give him/her food or catnip etc. to keep him/her off. they might find it as a reward for getting up there and playing around.

Female cat not fixed will it be ok with other cats that are fixed.?
She should be okay, as long as all the others are fixed. However, males should be fixed because if they are not they will spray more and be more territorial.
The only problem in leaving a female cat intact is she will attempt to escape outside every time she is on heat in order to find a mate. Additionally, being in heat is a stressful time for a cat, and leaving a cat unspayed increases the risk of certain health issues, such as Mammary cancer and pyometra.

What are the ingredients in 9 lives cat food?
The ingredients differ slightly, depending on the type and flavour of the food. However, here are some examples from the "basic" foods for this brand.
Ingredients for the "Daily" dry food:
Whole ground corn, poultry by-product meal, corn gluten meal, soybean meal, whole wheat, meat & bone meal, animal fat (preserved with mixed tocopherols), salmon, chicken, beef, animal digest, salt, phosphoric acid, choline chloride, titanium dioxide, potassium chloride, vitamins (vitamin E supplement, niacin supplement, d-calcium pantothenate, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin supplement, vitamin A supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, menadione sodium bisulfite complex, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement, vitamin D3 supplement), taurine, minerals (ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, manganous oxide, copper sulfate, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), red 40, yellow 5, yellow 6, potassium sorbate (used as a preservative), BHA (used as a preservative), blue 1, rosemary extract.
The dry food lists as Corn as the first ingredient, and has a lot of other cereals in the list. Ideally, the named meat sources should be first (or even the first two or three) in the list. The dry food seems to have more grain than meat. Cats have trouble digesting high levels of carbohydrates, and in some cases, can cause food allergies.
The first meat source is "poultry by-product meal", meaning that the low quality leftover bits (heads, intestines, feet, etc.) have had all the moisture and fat taken out and rendered in a form easily used for kibble. This, compared to "salmon, chicken, beef" further down the line, is a much cheaper and lower quality protein. This also goes for the "meat & bone meal".
Ingredients from "Tender Nibbles with Real Chicken in Gravy" Wet Food:
Water sufficient for processing, meat by-products, chicken, fish, wheat flour, soy protein concentrate, modified starch, steamed bone meal, animal digest, guar gum, titanium dioxide, sodium tripolyphosphate, potassium chloride, caramel color, choline chloride, salt, taurine, vitamins (vitamin E supplement, vitamin A supplement, thiamine mononitrate, niacin supplement, d-calcium pantothenate, riboflavin supplement, pyridoxine hydrochloride, menadione sodium bisulfite complex, vitamin D3 supplement, folic acid, biotin, vitamin B12 supplement), minerals (ferrous sulfate, zinc oxide, manganous oxide, copper sulfate, calcium iodate, sodium selenite), iron oxide.
The wet food is better. Much less grains, save for the "wheat flour" and "modified starch". "Meat by-products" isn't the best quality protein, but "chicken, fish" are third and fourth on the list which bumps up the protein quality and quantity.
"soy protein concentrate" also adds to the protein levels. However, this is plant protein, not meat protein. Cats cannot digest plants. Guar gum is used as a food thickener, so does not offer any nutrients.
What can kittens eat apart from kitten food?
Cats, being carnivores, will eat most types of meat whether it be cooked or raw chicken, turkey, rabbit, lamb. Cats that have access to outside will often hunt and eat mice, birds or other wildlife. Tuna and white fish are also usually accepted quite readily and many owners serve this as a treat.
While cats predominantly need meat, there are some cats that will happily nibble on certain vegetables. However, little nutrition is gained from this so it is best to stick to meaty foods.

Is paw paw ointment suitable for a cat?

Do rabbits and cats like each other?
Absolutely. Rabbits are generally far happier when living as a pair than alone. Rabbits are naturally very social animals, they enjoy laying together, spending time together, playing, and grooming one an other.
It is often said for this reason that lone = lonely
Great care needs to be taken over initial introductions however. Rabbits are extremely territorial and if they have been living alone and another rabbits comes into their territory they will fight to defend it. Rabbits should be introduced over a period of time (couple of weeks) on neutral ground to allow them to develop a friendship!
Think of it this way, if a complete stranger came into your home, stuck their feet up on your coffee table and settled in to live there you might be a tad irritated. However, if you met someone, became friends and invited them to be your roommate, it wouldn't be such a big deal!

Have Feral cats ever been known to carry their young on their backs?
Cats, no matter if domesticated wild or in-between, carry kittens in their mouths one by one. A cat's back is flexible and is probably not strong enough to carry offspring. It would also hinder the mother cat if she needed to run or jump as the kittens would not be able to hold onto their mother.

How do you stop my cat from going behind the tv?
Well, It depends. If possible, move things around so that the cat cannot go behind it. If you can't, then just make sure your cat can't get to any wires. Other than that, you should be good.
Maybe, if you have the patience to train a cat, spray it with water (or, if you like, I have a friend who uses pressurized air, like the kind you use to dust computers) every time it goes behind there. But make sure the cat connects the punishment to the fact that it was behind the television.

I lift my cat up and cradle it in my left arm. Then I grasp my cat by the back of the neck with left arm (not the head). I then insert the medicine in the syringe quickly into the cats mouth with my right hand. Cats don't like this, but I hold on until the cat has swallowed the medicine. This usually works.
If your cat has a cone on its head it makes it more difficult and awkward, but you still have to do it. You may need help. Have someone help you while you hold the cat.
