All over the world some are strays and some live in people's homes
What type of big cat eats sheep?
Mountain Lions, Panthers, Pumas, Jaguar, Cougars, Lions, Tigers, Cheetahs, pretty much any big cat will if given the opportunity.
We use dogs to guard our sheep from Cougars, and even a Bobcat will take down a lamb if it can get a chance.
Is kitty litter toxic to chemo patients?
I do not believe it is. My papa has cancer and is a chemo patient and it doesn't effect him. That's using Fresh Step. Although chemo patients should stay away from it because chemo makes you weak and vulnerable to sickness.
If your cat had something stuck in throat would he be sleeping?
If the cat had something stuck in his throat he would unlikely be sleeping. He would be choking or trying to vomit it back out, or perhaps swallow it. In a more severe case, he might even be struggling for breath.
If you believe your cat has something in his throat, it is highly recommended to take him to a vet immediately.
How do you get a cat out of heat without going to a veterinarian?
You can't. A cat will continue to come into to heat until it is mated (then will be back in season as soon as the kittens are weaned) or spayed.
Due to the greatly reduced risk of many health problems such as cancer in a spayed animal (not to mention spraying around the house and desperately trying to escape outside), spaying a cat is highly recommended.
See a veterinarian.
Not ALL cats will eat birds. Cats that have lived on the streets and had to find their own food are more likely to catch birds and eat them. Cats that have lived in captivity all their lives will sometimes just catch a bird to play with.
Is there something that can be added to my cat's food to make her poop firm?
Does your cat only eat dry food, wet or a combination of both? If your cat's stools are soft and runny it may be a good idea to change her food as it sounds like your cat is having trouble digesting it or the food isn't agreeing with her.
Try feeding it some cooked plain chicken or white fish until the cat's stools have firmed up. These are very bland foods that are very gentle on an upset stomach.
Many brands of dry food are packed with corns and grains. This is cheap carbohydrate filler that the food manufacturers use as its a cheaper source of protein than meat is. Cats are strict carnivores, so can only get their nutrients from meat-based protein, not plant-based protein. Sadly, it may be all this carbohydrate filler is probably the reason your cat has loose stools. Cats cannot digest such a high level carbohydrate at all; the stomach usually ends up working far harder than it should just to try and break the kibble down (a cat's stomach has evolved to break down raw meat quickly - not to store grain).
It might be advisable to take her to the vets to make sure there is no underlying problem, and to slowly (over the course of a week or so) switch her to a grain-free food. There are many wet foods that are high in meat and grain free, but there are also some dry foods out there with no grain such as Orijen. Look at the Ingredients and stay away from labels such as "grain, corn, wheat gluten, grain/corn by product, by product meal" etc.
Other high-quality foods: Innova/EVO, Orijen, Blue Buffalo, Wellness, Applaws, Bozita, HiLife, etc.
What does you mean when a month old kitten cant walk on is back legs but is still trying to?

What does the stomach do for the cat?
Just like in humans, the stomach of the cat digests food. When food enters the stomach, acids and enzymes begin to break down the food. Interestingly, most times that cats vomit, their stomachs are not the problem but that they have a hairball in their gullet above the stomach.
Can cats tell when you're upset?
This is a very hard question to answer for sure, but in my opinion YES they really can tell. I have had many "down times" and when I am sad my cat sits on my lap and constantly follows me. I have seen this in many cats and with many different owners so as far as I'm concerned yes they can tell, how they do it exactly I'm not sure. Dogs do the same thing.
Can a cat miscarry deformed kittens then carry on the pregnancy with the formed kittens?

Before they have been weaned kittens drink their mother's milk, you should contact a vet for advice.
What do girls do when they're done peeing?

My cat's poop and farts smell so bad now after eating her kittens poo. how can minimize the smell?
Feed your cat some good food and it should stop. Its best to just wait it out or go to the vet.
When can a newborn kitten be given as a pet?
Answer: When they are about 7 - 7 1/2 weeks old.
Answer:
The general consensus is usually 7-8 weeks old. However, more and more cat owners say you should not take a kitten away from its litter until 10-12 weeks of age. The reason for this is this allows the kittens to learn how to behave around other kittens and people. Playing with their litter-mates and mother teaches the kittens what is and is not acceptable. Taking a kitten away at this crucial stage of development can cause behaviour issues later on in its life as it will not have been taught otherwise.
It sounds like your kitten is completely rejecting its food because it cannot digest it. A kitten with diarrhoea can get very dehydrated very quickly and that can easily become fatal. Try and get as much moisture into your kitten as you can! I strongly recommend try feeding her a bit of wet food just to help her hydrate herself. You can even try putting a little chicken broth in her water to entice her to drink. For her stomach try feeding her a little cooked plain chicken which helps settle an upset stomach.

Does separating the female cat from the male cat bring her out of heat faster?
No it does not. Basically the female cat will stay in heat until she is bred and pregnant. That is why you need to spay her as soon as possible. Other animals such as the dog have a set length of time for their heat cycle such as 2-3 weeks and then they are out of heat but a cat when she comes into heat, stays in heat until she is pregnant. Spay her!
Good luck.
How can you get your dead kitten off your mind?
Well you could just think of other things and move on. Don't live in the past and try and buy another cat or pet. This will surley get your mind off some of the sad things

You can try (in order of most effective to least):
1. Wait. Time solves everything.
2. Get a new kitten.
3. Get a puppy.
Is it normal for your cat never to purr but suddenly start purring a lot even if its spayed?
Cats purr for many reasons. They purr when they are content or relaxed, they purr when they are in pain, they purr while eating and female cats sometimes purr while giving birth. Both male and female cats purr. My neutered male cat purrs almost every time I pick him up. If the cat is spayed, obviously pregnancy isn't an issue. If she acts differently in other ways you might take her to the vet to be checked out but otherwise I think the purring is OK.
Is your mum going to allow me to get a kitten?
She should be fine with that as long as you don't try to take one of hers. I wonder why you'd need her permission, though.
Do you know something I don't?
Why are cats called scardie cats?
Many cats freak out at the presence of unfamiliar people or situations
