What treatment is best for a cat scratch?
Cat Scratch Fever is easy-going infection and usually gets better by itself over several months without any specific treatment. This infection can be more serious with people who have poor immune systems, and antibiotics are used for such patients.
If your child have Cat Scratch Fever you should not isolated him from other family members because Cat Scratch Fever is not contagious. Your child cannot give the disease to anyone else. After having cat scratch disease once, your child is very unlikely to ever get it again.
You may take care of your child at home; you can apply a heating pad or hot water bottle to the swollen glands, giving some pain killer for pain, body aches or fever over 101F. It is not necessary that your child remains at bed, but it may help if your child tires easily. If your child feels like playing, encourage quiet play while being careful to avoid injuring swollen lymph nodes.
Antibiotics are used to treat the unusual forms of cat scratch disease or if your child have poor immune systems. If your child's doctor has prescribed antibiotics, give medication to your child on schedule for as many days as your child's doctor has advised.
Within 2 to 4 months, swollen lymph nodes generally collapse. In a very few cases, a swollen lymph node becomes so large and hurting that physician may advise its amputation. This is generally done in a very easy surgical method with a small incision.
How do you get your cats attention?
In a nice way to get it's attention, you can buy a new on a stick dangly/sparkly/jingly/sparkly and jingly toy; then pretend not to notice the cat and look away from it playing with the new cat toy. The cat will feel left out and curious then eventually come over to you. Or you could buy something nice that it hasn't tryed before like pillchards or sardines. If you want to get it's attention quicker; then consistantly poke it with a stick (JOKE) Though if you do what the second suggestion says, then get prepared to be eaten by tour cat.
cat behavior is varied. i have 3 cats, all very different. one is friendly and clumsy, one is timid and dainty and one is playful and a bit shy. there behavior with eachother... they all get along well. most neutered cats do. you need to watch out for more aggressive non fixed cats around other cats though. If you are interested in purchasing a cat you should always look for a kitten who is playful and energetic. Although a quiet/docile cat may seem like a good idea, if they are like that as a kitten it usually means there is something wrong with their health.
Behaviour is all about training and attention. If you neglect your cat from an early age, they will become more aggressive and develop bad behaviours. So when someone complains about a nasty cat, dont blame the animal because it is usually the owners neglect or mistreatment which has caused the behaviour in the first place!

Cats and skunks may or may not get along. Most likely they will not. Most cats are VERY territorial and they will fight, and the skunk most likely will spray the cat.
It depends on your cat. Young cats and cats that are use to sharing their territory with other cats ( or sharing their food) will most likely get along fine with a wild skunk, and even better with a pet skunk. But... It's not a good idea to let your cat around a wild skunk because of rabies.
and if you have a wild skunk coming into your yard, sooner or later it will start to smell, even if the skunk doesnt spray, it will eventually urinate, sit down, or otherwise rub its glands across something.

How do you stop a new cat from attacking the older ones?
There's no real quick fix for this problem, but I'll list some suggestions for you
1. If the new cat is young, or if one of the cats is getting injured badly from the fights, you should keep them separated for a week or two.
2. When you catch them fighting, make them stop. If you can imitate a cat hissing noise, you might want to. If they don't stop, physically separate them. If you continue to stop them for a few days, most cats will at least learn not to fight when you're around.
3. Make sure you have a separate food bowl for each cat. Some cats get angry if another cat eats their food.
4. Make sure that you give both your new and old cats enough love, otherwise they'll get jealous and fight more. You should also avoid petting one of them in front of another one because that promotes jealousy.
Last resort: Sometimes you just have to let them have a few fights so they can get it out of their system, but don't choose this option if either of them or getting injured.
Tip: You probably know this, but they might just be playing. If they are seriously fighting, one of them will probably hiss/growl. Otherwise, they're just having fun.
I hope at least one of these help you.
What about care of mother and kittens after kittens are born?
just leave the mother and the kittens leave fresh water and food out for her. don't touch the kittens until the kittens can walk at least or if the mother cat trusts you and doesn't get mad and start hissing, you can probably play with the kittens at an earlier time. When the kittens get older only leave water and they will start to drink it. Never give milk to kittens when they are still small because they sometimes have an allergic reaction that could possibly kill them. hope this helps.
