The cat was under the table?

This is a statement and not a question. Rewrite a question that can be answered.

What do you do if your cat has her kittens outside and you cant find them?

It's only their instinct to hide their offspring. If you can't find them, she did her job well.

If you wanted to find them, keep "Momma Cat" held with you and depending on how many days or weeks old they are, they might smell or see her and make a noise and then you would find them. Maybe some cat spying might help. If she roams wide and far, the chances are slim they're right outside your house somewhere. Cats hide their kittens in places rarely disturbed by people and other animals that are a danger. (i.e in the crawlspace underneath a house, under or in an abandoned car, in an old junk pile in someone's backyard, etc) Time is of the essence when it comes to rescuing kittens from the dangers of being outside. I hope this helps for you or anyone else who comes upon this.

Why do cats lay on their back?

Cats that sprawl out on their backs and sleep are letting their humans know they have complete trust in them. Proof of this is the fact that when you walk up on them they don't move... and their little arms and legs continue to dangle about in the air. Even the thought of my Egyptian Mau doing this makes me chuckle. I will often bend over and kiss him while he sleeps... that still doesn't disturb him. That's because he knows that he is mine and that I love him unconditionally. So consider yourself highly complimented by the cat world if you cat does this.

If a previously owned cat urinated on the carpet will a new cat decide to start urinating in that spot despite the fact that the new cat is litter box trained?

I would say that means that the previously owned cat is marking its territory. While eating a lot of cheesy fries

Not so sure about those cheesy fries but yes, often a cat will begin urinating in a spot used by a previous cat. To prevent this, use an enzyme based cleaner such as Petastic Stain and Odor Remover (which used to be the Nature's Miracle formula - this is essentially the original Nature's Miracle and the product that developed the high reputation of Nature's Miracle.) Petastic can be a little bit hard to find so call around to pet stores before driving all over town. It is one that definitely works though. Use according to directions and the enzymes will destroy any traces of the prior cat's markings. With any of the enzyme based cleaners it is important to thoroughly soak the area and allow the soaked area to extend a bit beyond the boundaries of the original stain. The Petastic website has a product locator section plus you can order their products online directly from their site.

Why does an orphaned kitten suckle humans?

Orphaned kittens may suckle on humans because they are seeking comfort and security. It reminds them of the nursing they would have received from their mother. Providing a warm bottle or blanket to the kitten can help fulfill this need.

Wink and nod?

A wink is a quick closing and opening of one eye, often used to indicate a shared secret or joke. Nodding is a slight up-and-down movement of the head, typically used to show agreement or understanding. Both gestures are non-verbal ways to communicate without speaking.

Why the increase in overhead rate should not have a negative financial impact?

An increase in overhead rate may not have a negative financial impact if it is offset by increased productivity or improved efficiency in the company's operations. Additionally, if the increase in overhead rate is a result of investments in long-term growth strategies, it may lead to higher revenues and profitability in the future, outweighing the initial increase in costs. It is important for companies to carefully manage their overhead expenses to ensure they are aligned with the overall business strategy.

Why does small cat meow and large cat roar?

Small cats meow as a form of communication with humans and other cats, while large cats roar as a way to establish territory and communicate with other members of their species over long distances. The vocalizations have evolved differently based on the size and social behaviors of the cats.

What is the right way to hold a cat?

Try not to touch newborn kittens until their eyes are open (about 10 days old). After that, if the mother cat will allow it, stroke them gently & let them get used to your scent......you should be able to hold them in a couple of days after that.

What is the products of NH42S and H2O?

When NH4HS reacts with H2O, it forms NH4OH (ammonium hydroxide) and H2S (hydrogen sulfide) as products. This reaction is a dissolution process where NH4HS dissociates into its ions NH4+ and HS- in water.

What do kittens play with?

Kittens enjoy playing with a variety of toys, such as balls, strings, wand toys, stuffed animals, and laser pointers. They also like exploring and playing with household items like boxes, paper bags, and crinkly toys. It's important to rotate their toys regularly to keep them engaged and stimulated.

While it is annoying and a pain to clean up, it is a tribute and an act of love. always wear a pair of cleaning gloves that are diposable and put it in a bag all to its self.then chuck it out it in the bin and dipose of the gloves aswell.

How would you describe cats?

Cats are clean and graceful animals requiring very little maintenance. They instinctively clean themselves and do their "business" in dirt or cat litter before covering it up with their paws.

It's a shame they get such bad publicity in the media as being these mean things that will claw your eyes out. That won't happen unless you corner a cat and/or it's afraid for it's life.

They are definitely related to Tigers, Panthers, Lions, Cheetahs, etc...

Each cat has their own personality, but most cats are very independent and can be very stubborn. (i.e. it's hard to train a cat to make it do what you want, like sit or roll over) They can also have a short temper, but will usually warn you before you really make them mad. (For example. mine will gently bite me without any jaw pressure as a warning that I'm doing something she doesn't like)

After forming a bond of trust with the cat, they have nothing but love for an owner that treats them right. Cats are great at cuddling in bed, but If cuddling isn't your thing they will learn to give you your space and sleep at the foot of the bed or on a chair.

Cats are very playful. They instinctively enjoy running around and catching things that move. (Mine loves feathered things, but other cats enjoy strings or furry mice toys more)

Cats also will genuinely care about an owner they love. For example, if you leave the house/apartment they will worry that you left them, or if you or a loved one is crying they will often try to comfort you. It should also be noted that petting a cat is scientifically proven to lower blood pressure and stress. So go ahead, pet them all you want! They will love it, and you will too. Just don't pet their fur backwards! Also, most cats don't like their hind feet touched, and their stomach only when they trust you enough. They do, however, love their cheeks to be rubbed.

Cats DO have claws, so be careful! They use them for traction for running or climbing up things, catching prey, and for defending themselves against other animals. Sometimes during play they will get a little silly and claw you by accident, so give them some distance when you see them in play mode. While some people prefer to declaw their cat, I think it's fundamentally wrong. It would be like removing our thumbs. Cats instinctively need to scratch things, so their claws don't get too long. So, train your cat to scratch on only things that you approve of. (There are many cat scratching devices on the market to feed their urge to scratch)

Cats also LOVE food. Since their primary function in nature is to hunt small rodents and birds, they instinctively love most meats. Most cats will know when to stop eating, but some may have eating disorders just like people. There's a saying "the fastest way to a animals heart is through their stomach" and this can be true with cats as well. There are many variates of food, such as dry food in a bag, wet food in a can, and various other cat treats. Cats require certain vitamins/minerals that are only contained in food intended for cats, so don't feed them "human" food too often. It should also be noted that dog food does not contain things like taurine which cats require. Cats can be very picky with food, and will often not enjoy the same food twice in the same day, or even the same week! So, be sure to buy a variety of flavors and/or brands.

Adult cats enjoy sleeping a lot. And I mean a LOT! (13-16 hours per day) This is where the term "cat nap" comes from. They sleep in many different positions and places, often looking very cute or human-like! (My cat sometimes sleeps with her head on my pillow)

If you are thinking of owning a cat, I recommend getting them while they're young so you can form an early bond with them. Kittens however, have an enormous amount of energy and are infinitely curious. They require a lot of TLC (tender loving care) and a lot of attention. They grow up fast, but If you treat it properly it will grow up into a beautiful cat who will love you for all eternity.

Well I think that about covers it. In conclusion, cats are wonderful animals but not for everyone. There are cat haters out there, but I really don't understand why. I think everyone should give cats a chance, they really are wonderful animals!

Can you die from burping?

No, burping is a natural bodily function to release excess air from the stomach. Occasionally, excessive burping can be a symptom of an underlying condition, but burping itself cannot directly cause death.

Does my cat know me?

yes.....once you are with your cat.... it will now you forever

How old do kittens start to purr?

After they are about 3 weeks old. I just got a new baby kitten.

What does it mean when the cat is crying and licking his bottom?

Sometimes cats eyes just water, and its licking its behind because it likes to keep clean, even though we think it pretty gross.

If, by crying you mean that it is vocalizing, it could be in pain. If this is new behavior, I would suggest a visit to the vet. Several things could be the problem, including impacted anal glands or a urinary tract infection or blockage (which could be fatal if not treated). Make sure you are aware of any other behaviors - like frequent litter box visits, lethargy, changes in eating and drinking, etc.

What is the value of Chateau Chicane 1981?

Generally, it could range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per bottle at auction or through specialized wine retailers. It's recommended to seek a professional appraisal for an accurate estimate.

Why is Kitten sleeping 22 hours?

Kittens sleep a lot because their bodies are growing and developing rapidly. They need plenty of rest to recharge and support this growth process. Additionally, sleep helps kittens conserve energy for their high levels of play and exploration when they are awake.

What is the body covering of cat?

The body of a cat is covered in skin and fur like all land mammals. Fur covers the entire body and is called a pelt.

What can you put on the carpet to stop your cat from peeing in an area?

First, take the cat to the vet. If there are no urinary tract or otherwise problems, place litter boxes in places where he/she should not be doing his wee-wee or poo-poo. If you can't do that (like if your cat is doing his/her business where you have to walk), make the place where he's going as unattractive as possible, and the spot where he's supposed to go as attractive as possible. Put a rug under his litterbox, and don't clean the box too often. Turn the place where he's going into a feeding station; he won't do his business near his food. Place the litterbox in a quiet, easily accessible place (young kittens and senior cats don't like going up and down stairs a lot). Remove every bit of evidence of his urine from the place he's been using (don't use cleaning products containing ammonia, they'll smell like pee to the cat and he/she will attempt to cover it by peeing again), also, you can temporarily put aluminum foil in the place where the cat's not supposed to go (they don't like the sound or feel of aluminum foil, so they'll avoid the area. Also, spraying lemon scent will repel a cat.

Hope this helps.

How can you get a kitten to recognize and come to its name?

Cats are always trying to get our attention so the first thing to remember in teaching cats to talk is to only respond when they speak clear words. Also when you hear your cat in the other room speaking or tying to talk do not run in to cuddle them right away. Wait until they perfect a word. Sometimes they try to hide their practicing of words and when you run it they stop and pretend they were just making cat noises. Teaching your cat to talk is not as hard as you would think. They first have to want to speak. Not all cats can talk but, if you show them other talking cats and laugh when you see them you will find your cat trying to talk.

One problem we found is they say things as we do. Yes that means no matter how cute they are try not to talk baby talk to them when you are teaching cats to speak, however a cat talking baby talk is very cute. I have noticed that at times my cats talking to me in different tones now when it is just she and I. When she speaks with her daddy near or here it seems to at times be more of a grown up and serious voice. She speaks clearly yet in a child voice to me most of the time. If you want to train cats to talk you have to teach them proper wording. When you use the same words many times they learn those words faster. Every time you feed or cuddle your cat pick a word or phrase to teach them. One of the cute phrases is I Love You Mama. When your cat speaks and starts talking you will hear a difference in the tone of voice they use. They all have their own voices and all talking cats sound so cute. after listening to real talking cats you can always tell when it is a cats voice of if a person is making fake videos. cats have beautiful voices.

Why do cats bury their poop?

No.But they do eat it sometimes. My indoor cats play with the poop. It's boredom. once you give other reasons not to get bored (like more toys and bigger place to run around), they'll STOP doing that. If they don't stop even so, get a top-entry litter box. It's harder for them to bring and fling their poop about when they have to jump out of the litter box using top entry.
