Where would the Manx cat be at home?

These days, the Manx cat is at home in any domestic setting. If the question means "Where did the Manx cat originate?", it originated on the Isle of Man. They are thought to share a common ancestry with the British Shorthair, and that it was just a genetic mutation that resulted in the tailless variety we now know as the Manx. This genetic mutation resulted in some kittens being born without the extra vertebrae that form the tail of normal cats.

What is the easiest trick you can teach a cat?

The easiest one of all is "Ignore me!" Once your cat has perfected that one, go to YouTube. There is a video of a guy training his cat to push on a switch. He does the training right in the video. It's basic, but it shows the essentials of positive reinforcement. If you try something like this, keep in mind that food as a positive reinforcement is most effective when the critter you're training is hungry.

What is a teacup cat?

The term "teacup" is a marketing tool referring to really small, and often unhealthy cats and kittens. These are often sold at much higher prices than "regular" kittens. They are the result of unethical breeders breeding from unhealthy, deformed and undersized cats to produce what they call teacup cats. They are bred with no concerns to their health or temperament.

There are such a thing as Dwarf cats, which is due to a genetic mutation. The Munchkin breed was created by a naturally occurring genetic mutation that results in cats with abnormally short legs. These are not the same as teacup cats.

Is mondo grass you purchase at a nursery ok for cats to eat?

Actually, since cats are carnivores, eating any vegetation isn't good for cats. But cats tend to eat grass and other vegetation to purposely irritate their stomachs so they can throw up hair they've ingested while grooming themselves. This is why hairballs that have been coughed up by cats normally have little bits of plants in them.

Cat with testicles and nipplesMale or female?

Both genders of cat will have nipples. The male will have a scrotum and penis, the female will not.

Why do cats bring home pears?

Cats may bring home pears due to their natural instinct to hunt and play. Cats see pears as toys or prey, and they may carry them home to "gift" them to their owners or use them as a plaything. It could also be their way of showing affection or seeking attention.

How do you keep cats off counters?

Cats don't like Oranges and citrus fruits, they could stop them going on counters.

Bladesmanshawey I use a squirt gun, a small water pistol that I bought for less than a dollar. I actually have three of them and keep them in places where I want to keep my cats off. Whenever they jump up on a counter or table that is off limits, I squirt them gently. They don't associate it with me because they don't understand where it is coming from and it is only a harmless minor distraction to them. OBTW, I try and not look at them as I'm doing it. That way they have less chance of associating the squirting water with me doing the squirting.

When your cat meows but nothing comes out?

Some people think it is a yawn. Yawn's are obviously different than a meow as the mouth opens much further. I have a cat who I'll notice while looking at her... she opens her mouth as she would when meowing, but there is no sound what-so-ever. Sometimes she'll squeak, and the odd time she does meow quietly. Humans have various voices - One person is quiet, another is raspy... Cat's "voices' range too. However, if you are concerned... take your cat in for a vet visit. Most likely, it is nothing to worry about. You just have a quiet kitty :)

Why do cats scream?

Cats may scream due to pain, fear, or stress. It could also be a way for them to communicate their needs or emotions to their owners. If a cat is screaming excessively, it may be a sign that something is wrong and should be evaluated by a veterinarian.

I used to trap stray (ferile) cats and have them fixed thru a local veterinarian and the humane society actually paid for it to be done most of the time. When they met their maximum for the month then I would usually pay $15 for the males and $25 for the females. I never had a dog fixed thru them. Only cats. My dog was neutered when I bought him and my 2nd dog was already neutered when we rescued him. Definately check w/the Humane Society they can provide a wealth of information as to providing assistance for spaying or neutering. It is the best thing you can do for your animal!!! Best of luck and if you give me your area (city & state), I might be able to find something for you.

What is the treatment of tonsillitis in cats?

Tonsillitis is very rare in cats except as a component of 'cat flu.' However, just like in humans, cat's and dog's tonsils can flare up and it's time to see your vet. The vet will try antibiotics first (usually TRIMETHOPRIM/SULFA) and if Tonsillitis reoccurs then the vet will remove them from the cat. WARNING: When your pet is on medication be sure you are around in case your pet has an allergic reaction to the medication. I don't give my pets any medication unless I am home and I keep a keen eye on them.

How long should it take for a lops ears to grow Sometimes when she is sitting around one ear is up and one is down but both ears can sit up is this normal for a lop earred rabbit?

Rabbits are all grown up at around 6 months of age, so if your bunny is older than that, her ears are probably as long as they will ever get. I had a fuzzy Chinchilla Mini Lop who could do extraordinary things with her ears! Rabbits use their ears to listen for predators, so they have to work really well. That includes swiveling around in all directions to pick up sound. Rabbits also can communicate with their ears - notice that your bunny seems calm when her ears are down and agitated when they are straight up? Mine could keep one ear up even when she was asleep. You should pay attention to your bunny and learn what her ear signals mean, so that you can understand her moods and so you'll know if there are any problems with those lovely ears. There is a sickness rabbits can get which causes them to tilt their heads and waggle their ears almost constantly. If she begins to act unusually, take her to the veterinarian for an exam. Good luck! Jill - Well Said, May I Add, If Your Rabbit Is having One Ear Up And Down, It Is Most Likely to be A helicopter Lop, It Will Sometimes have its Ears Both Lopped Down Or Both Straight Up Depending On What Type it Is.

Where can I find stray kittens?

I am hoping that you are wondering because you want to adopt one to keep as a pet. If that is the case, I wouldn't go for a stray for several reasons, but disease is one of the big ones. You should probably look in your local newspaper for kittens. Most of the time they are free. But if a stray is really what you want, try the Arby's parking lot. That's usually where I see stray cats and kittens. Or sometimes they are in the parking lot of grocery stores.

Do you have to neuter kittens?

Yes, it is highly recommended! Kittens reach sexual maturity at around six months old, although some will begin as early as four months! It is best for the kitten to be spayed before it reaches six months old, otherwise you will have to deal with constant spraying (very strong smelling urine), both male and female cats (when in heat) will yowl and call for mates, and will do anything to escape outside. Not only that, a cat spayed or neutered will greatly reduce the risk of numerous cancers and other health problems later in the cat's life.

Both male and female kittens can be spayed as early as 10-12 weeks of age, although this varies somewhat from vet to vet; some vets prefer to perform the spay procedure when the kitten is around 3 or 4 months old.

What is a good brush for a cat that hates to brushed?

A silicone grooming glove or a soft bristle brush may be gentler and more tolerable for a cat that dislikes being brushed. You can also try using treats or toys to distract and reward your cat during brushing sessions to help them associate it with positive experiences. Additionally, incorporating short, gentle brushing sessions gradually over time may help desensitize your cat to the grooming process.

Why do cats hiss?

Cat's hiss when they're either really angry at a human or another animal. They could also hiss if they feel threatened by a human or another animal. Hissing is their way of showing their anger or their fright. Also, when cats are angry, their fur stands up. This happens normally in the tail but if they are reallyscared/angry they will arch their backs and all of their fur will stand up.

Further, this action is a "defensive" mechanism, intended to both warn another animal or human, and hopefully discourage them from further threatening, or harming the cat.

I read that they hiss because it is an instinctive response to predators, which originates from ferral cats in the wild. Ferral cats would encounter snakes, which posed a threat to them, and learned to mimick the hissing as a response to a threat.

Will a kitten's behavior change after spaying or declawing?

Both can, but they don't necessarily make a noticeable one.

The biggest thing that spaying changes is it stops them from going into heat, to stop any spraying, and to limit any medical illnesses linked to intact cats.

Spaying and neutering provides many health benefits for your pet, not to mention that you cut down on the number of animals put into shelters and eventually anesthetized. Up to 8 million pets go into shelters every year. Nearly 6 million of them are put down.

Spaying shouldn't make much difference except that often your queen will be more laid back and you won't get screaming serenades at night while the local toms gather which has got to be good.

Declawing can cause negative changes like depression or aggressiveness, litterbox avoidance, excessive biting, and even joint and muscle stiffness and arthritis even after many years. This doesn't happen to all cats, but some cats never recover from having the last toe joints (which is what the claw is attached to) removed.

Can a cat hunt too much?

Yes, a cat can hunt too much, especially if it is hunting for sport rather than necessity. This can lead to issues like overhunting local wildlife populations, excessive stress on the cat, and potentially consuming toxic prey. It's important for cat owners to provide enough mental and physical stimulation for their cats to prevent over-hunting behaviors.
