Can cats die from hyperthyroidism?

Hyperthyroidism itself is unlikely to be fatal to a cat. However, if left untreated there are health issues that could become fatal: The increased heart rate of a hyperthyroid cat can put great strain on the heart, and can cause Heart Failure. Liver damage can be caused by it having to work harder due to the increased metabolism, or increased fat deposits if the cat develops Hepatic Lipiosis (see below).

The most common sign that a cat is hyperthyroid is significant weight loss, but an increased appetite. Even this cannot go unchecked as the cat could become emaciated, which puts a strain on the body and organs. Another worry is Hepatic Lipidosis, also known as Fatty Liver Disease. This is caused when a cat loses a significant amount of weight in a short period of time. Stored fat in the cat's body is moved to the liver. Unfortunately, a cat's body is not designed to process large amounts of fat, and this can cause the liver to become overwhelmed and is unable to process this fat as quickly as necessary, leading to a build up of fat in the liver, which interferes with normal liver function.

All these secondary complications can be fatal if not treated quickly.

Are cats attracted to the smell of cigarettes?

No, most cats hate the smell of cigarettes. Most animals, in general, hate the smell of cigarettes, because they are toxic and essentially poisonous. That is why animals don't drink alcohol, either: alcohol is essentially a poison.

Unlike humans, animals cannot override their primal instinct to stay away from toxic substances. Humans ingest toxic substances like tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs, because they make us feel good. Our desire to take pleasure in these toxic substances overrides our primal instinct to stay away from anything toxic.

Animals don't have the brain capacity to take pleasure in toxic substances. An animal can get drunk or high, but it probably won't enjoy it. It will just be frightened by the effects. Ironically, the higher intelligence that humans possess enables us to make the rather stupid decision to deliberately ingest toxic substances, just because they make us feel good.

When to wean kittens to solid food?

Some People say 4 to 8 weeks and I believe that is technically true, but not necessarily the best thing for the kittens. Four weeks is too early if it can be avoided. It is more usual for kittens to start on solids at about 6 to 8 weeks, but still need the care, mothering, and nutrition from the mother.

For a kitten to have its needs properly met, it needs at least 10-12 weeks with the mother. I have a mom cat that is still nursing at 16 1/2 weeks. I have not interfered and tried to let nature take its course, and the kittens are still nursing, even though they are healthy and eating solid food for some time now. This is usual, and there are many benefits to this, as they are still attached to the mom. She sometimes isn't in the mood, but eventually lets them nurse a little each day.

Does holding or picking up a cat with intestinal lymphoma hurt her worse?

It shouldn't hurt at all, unless you are squeezing or carrying her by her abdomen. If you pick your cat up with one hand under the back part of her stomach and the other hand under her rib cage, this distributes the weight. Let her lay with her front legs on your shoulder and her back legs resting in one hand by your stomach and there won't be any pressure on her belly.
