Your cat is licking the wood ash from your open fire why?
A cat is a curious animal and will investigate everything, including eating uncommon things that are not food. A cat who licks wood ash from an open fire is probably investigating the fire because it was drawn to the light.
But if he wants to play why would he bit and scratch the person?
Aggression in dogs can stem from various reasons, such as fear, frustration, pain, or resource guarding. If a dog is feeling threatened or anxious, it may respond by biting or scratching as a way to protect itself. It's essential to identify the underlying cause of the behavior and address it with the help of a professional trainer or behaviorist.
What if your cat is peeing a lot and bleeding a little shes spayed?
Take the cat to the vet. They may have a UTI (urinary tract infection). Also the wording of the question is a little confusing. Did you mean that there is blood in the cats urine? and that the cat is spayed? Did the cat just get spayed? If so you should take the cat to the vet ASAP. It could be related.

What if the cat ate too much cat nip?
It's fine. I bought my cat some of that "all-natrual" fresh catnip from Everpet. He sniffed it and licked around it and bobbed his head back and forth but he hasn't touched ANY catnip ever since. Some cats donot like catnip but one thing you could try is rubbing the catnip leaves together for a few seconds unless it's Gitty Kitty (Liquid catnip in a bottle) also your cat will like a certain amount. They will probably not have a reaction to a teaspoon but a few tablespoons should do it. Like i said some cats just don't like it.

How old should cats be when spayed?
You can't get your cat neutered or spayed too early, nor too late. I would say that you should get them fixed around 4-6 months of age. You should not get them fixed any earlier than 3 months, and no later than 6-7 months. You have to pick the right time for your cat. Things to look for, are change in behavior, attitude, and interests. Know your cat and look at the way it acts to see when you should get them fixed.
My vet said it was best to neuter or spay a cat around 4-5 months old, as kittens reach sexual maturity at around 6 months old.
Spay/neuter surgery can be performed on kittens as young as 6-8 weeks, and as small as 2 pounds.

Both male and female kittens can be spayed as early as 12 weeks of age, although this depends on the vet; many will now advocate early spaying whereas as others will prefer doing the procedure when the kitten is near four or five months old.
Cats usually reach sexual maturity around six months old and some even younger at four months, so it is best to spay the kitten before then.

Neutering removes the source of hormones. These hormones often contribute to the development of several forms of cancer. Less risk of cancer, greater chance at a longer Life.
Also, neutered males are less likely to go off looking for females in heat. And the more they stay at home, the less risk of getting hit by car or other accidents.
It is difficult to say why. It could be that the meals are being spread too far apart, leaving the cat hungry in between. Cats have tiny stomachs compared to ours, and have evolved to eat several small meals a day. You could try leaving out a little bit of dry food out in between meals for your cat to nibble on if it gets hungry.
