There is no such thing as being overprotective when you are a mother cat. but a mother cat will protect her kittens.
What do most pet owners expect of their pets?
people usually give their pets sexual abuse and many different kind of abuse :( But what i am going to tell you is wrong so byee
If you see a cat with its tail straight upwhat is it most likely trying to tell you?
When a cat's tail is straight up, It's telling you that it is aware of something and it is cautious. It may even me scared of something.
However, if the cat is acting calm/happy, there is a chance the cat is just content. Happy cats will often strut with their tails held up, and the tip possibly pointing this way or that.
When should you litter train your kittens?
Ummm i think about eight weeks mabey nine the earlier the better but not too early just set emm in after they eat to get emm in the habit when i was in 2nd grade i had 20 outside and insiide cats
If you have a fixed female and an unfixed male why does the male mount the female?
It is because your male cat is still entire. As far as he is concerned, it is natural for him to try and mate with the nearest female cat, regardless that she is spayed already. You may want to neuter him, as letting him attempt to mate repeatedly is stressful for both cats.
Now, if both cats were already neutered, this would likely be a dominance behaviour, or possibly a sexual one as sometimes a male cat will retain his urges to mate. Animals that live with each other will sometimes jockey for position in the "pack" and this is one way of showing that the cat doing the mounting thinks he is above the other cat in the pecking order.
What can you do when your cat is pooping on your carpet and the kitty litter is cleaned every day?
It might be a health issue. If the cat has pain when going it might associate the litter box with the pain. Best to take it to the vet to see if there are health problems. If you have changed litter brands or types, that could also be the issue.
Can you bring birds to Ecuador?
No, please don´t. Ecuador already has an amazing diversity of birds with over 1,600 species, and itroducing exotic species is always a problem for the native ones. So, in conclusion, it would be best if you didn´t.
What are some spring jobs for kids?
If you have a creative child, there are all kids of opportunities available, especially around your own neighborhood. Mowing, helping neighbor clean, washing vehicles. Some kids even plant vegetables, and sell them at the local farmers markets that are becoming popular in small towns.
No. We are WAY too distantly related to cats to be inbred.
No here's a little story for you.
It was a Saturday evening and I was snapping a turd and then a snake came up the toilet and I pooped on it's head and it slid up my bum hole, i needed an operation and it was a vine snake, little bugger!
How can a Siamese cat get disqualified in a cat show?
if you mean"how can a Siamese be disqualified. they're the best and and all other cats a inferior" then your dang wrong. if you mean you bring a quality Siamese and its atoumatically disqualified from first look then i have an answer.
most Siamese that are in cat cat shows are super duper skinny. those are modern Siamese. however traditional/applehead Siamese are more robust and rarely get entered. so maybe the traditional is disqualified
Your cat had babies and she won't feed them what can you do to make her let them eat?
You can't make the mother cat feed the kittens. Sometimes a mother cat won't lie down to let the kittens nurse because she wants something from her owners. Has she been following you or meowing around you lately?
There's another possibility that she has no milk. I strongly suggest to bring her and her kittens to a vet to see that everything is okay. For the time being, you will have to feed the kittens yourself. Use an eyedropper or a small baby bottle. Hope this helps.
What innate behavior is the Siamese cats are born with?
Since they can't see, I have noticed that they use their other senses to help them. Hearing is used to find their mother and when the mother purrs it comforts the kittens. They use smell to identify their mother. The kittens hiss at me when I pick them up. The kittens need to eat so they move their face on their mothers tummy until they find a tit to suck on.
This sucking trait may continue for months or years. I have seen an older cat that is sleeping, moving their lips back & forth in a sucking manner. Kitty dreams.
How do you stop a stray cat from urinating around bushes outside?
To stop stray cats from urinating around your bushes you can try a number of things. Some say that red pepper or coffee grounds help if you sprinkle it around the areas. Natures Miracle is a spray that will help to remove the smell which will also help stop them from marking.
Why do cats rub their heads on objects?
A cat does this to mark their territory or (if to a person) they are responding; telling you that your theirs.
Is the child of a narcissist likely to inherit anything after the narcissist's death?

What is the best way to have a miscarriage?
Go to a clinic and get an abortion it's not really worth the health risks to do it your self.
Can a kitten's anus bleed after a de worm?
Deworming should not cause bleeding-period. If your kitten is passing blood, you need to take him to the veterinarian for an exam.
Obvious answers like 'stop feeding them' or 'stop giving them access to water' are given. Make sure there are no overturned trashcan lids or something that can gather water. This is for strays, of course.
If they won't leave, lure them into a carrier and take them to the nearest shelter. Aim for a no-kill shelter, though, so it's less of a death penalty.
How do you get something off your mind?
