Is a Turkish van cat scared of water?
The Turkish Van breed is quite distinctive in that is loves water! Most Turkish Vans are said to have a more than a normal love of water, ranging from dripping taps, especially drinking from them, and dunking their toys in water bowls or a sink. Turkish Vans are also known for swimming in baths or swimming pools when the mood takes them.
How much string do you need to make a cat collar out of paracord?

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.
Does a queen cat need a litter tray?

What happens when you spill bleach on your cat?
The most simple answer is: The cat will most likely become poisoned from licking the bleach off its fur. If a lot of bleach is spilled on the cat, it will cause painful chemical burns on the skin, and will cause untold damage if any got in the cat's eyes, ears or nose.
If bleach has been spilled on a cat, you must take it to a vet immediately.
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.

Huntercat
Sorry, that's wrong. Fish and milk(they're lactose intolerant) are off the menu for cats! Dogs would rather have food tasting, and smelling like rotting meat. Yep. Dogs are scavengers, not hunters, so don't let pet food names fool you(Big blue...)saying that's in dogs blood to hunt, like their "Ancestors", wolves. Wolves are an entirely DIFFERENT species to dogs. Back to cats. Cats have very sensitive noses. They like their food to be almost odorless. It should be fresh. They aren't picky. Most have a weak digestive system and strictly eat what they can. Look online for a list of foods that cats can't eat. If you hunt, or a friend of yours hunts, ask them to get you some rabbit, or buy some turkey. Wash it off, WELL, don't scrub(Use your hands to wash it), and use rain water. It's much better than tap water. Give your cat small bites, and be careful to not overfeed it. No seasoning, or cooking at all. Give that a try, and see what happens.
In my opinion, no. Take it to a vet to find out why it is doing these things. If this cat has been with you all these years why would you want to kill it just because it is sick?
If a cat follows you does that mean you are preagnet?
A cat does not signal pregnancy, but you could be pregnant, not know it, and have a cat following you, but the cat's just a coincedence. In other words, cats are not pregnancy prophets.
Seeing as your cat only licked the sides of the empty bowl, he should be okay. Ingesting a tiny amount will most likely have no effect on him, although it is advisable to keep an eye on any trace of an upset stomach due to the spicy flavour of the food, but this is probably unlikely.
Will putting baby powder on your cats make them smell alike and get them to stop fighting?
what is wrong with you, of course not. cats will fight if they dont like each other. making them smell like baby butts will probably just make them fight more.
How long after having kittens will cat be in heat?
She will come into heat shortly after having her kittens, around 4 weeks afterwards and will stay in heat until she is bred again. Why not have her spayed as soon as the kittens are weaned at around 4 weeks? Would be the best thing for her.
Why don't you have to walk your cat?
