Cat Behavior

Here's a decent one:

Clean the litter more frequently. If you catch them in the act (ONLY THEN) Pick your kitty up by the scruff of the neck and growl your disapproval (gently, no one wants hurt feelings).

Also, note that you can offer treats to encourage the cat from peeing outside of the cat box.

Males will start to become territorial and seek mates from about 6 months onward. Nine months seems to be the number most usually stated for this activity and if the cat is not neutered by then he will be spraying his territory to warn off other contenders.

Spaying of your pet cat should be done at or before 6 months old.

Well, darling, it sounds like your feline friend is being a bit of a diva. First off, make sure the litter box is scooped and clean to their high standards. Then, consider if there have been any changes in their environment causing stress. And if all else fails, a trip to the vet may be in order to rule out any medical issues.

To create a DIY litter box cabinet for your cat, you can repurpose an old cabinet or build one from scratch. Cut a hole in the side for your cat to enter, place the litter box inside, and add a door or curtain for easy access. Make sure to leave space for ventilation and cleaning.

42, one cat year is considered equal to 7 human years.

No it's 54. 7 years is with dogs, for cats it's 9. Easy to remember because they say a cat has nine lives. Source: the cats veterinarian.

This scenario is possible if the two mothers are a grandmother, her daughter, and her granddaughter. In this case, the grandmother is a mother and a daughter, the daughter is a mother, and the granddaughter is a daughter. Each female - the grandmother, the daughter, and the granddaughter - gets one cat, totaling three cats for each of them.

Black cats are not that expensive in pet shops, animal shelters, or buying them off someone you know. You have to remember that even though the cat is black, it can be worth up to more than $300.00! It depends on their facts like where it came from. For example, if it's an Egyptian black cat, you will find yourself paying over $300.00 for it. But if it's not Egyptian, meaning it's not a fine cat, iit's probably $20-30.00. So therefore, all cats are different even if they're thre same color. In conclusion, cats are in a range between $20-300.00. If your seller knows how to charge, you can either be paying a little or a lot.

Yes, purring in cats does burn calories, although the amount is relatively small. The act of purring requires muscle movement, specifically in the laryngeal muscles, which can contribute to a slight increase in energy expenditure. However, the caloric burn from purring is minimal compared to other physical activities cats engage in, such as playing or hunting.

It is impossible to provide an accurate percentage of people who like cats without conducting a specific survey or study on the subject. Preferences for pets can vary widely among individuals and are influenced by cultural, social, and personal factors. To determine the percentage of people who like cats, a statistically significant sample size would need to be surveyed, and the results would need to be analyzed using appropriate statistical methods.

To prevent your baby from peeing in the bath, try to ensure they have a chance to go to the bathroom before bath time. Additionally, keeping the water temperature comfortable and not too cold may help reduce the likelihood of them peeing in the bath. It's also a good idea to keep the bath time short to minimize the chances of accidents happening.

The conclusion that validly follows from the argument is: "Some pets are playful." This conclusion logically follows from the premises given in the argument. Since all kittens are playful and some pets are kittens, it can be concluded that some pets are playful.

Dogs may shake when they see a cat due to a combination of fear, excitement, and anticipation of a chase. This response is likely rooted in evolutionary instincts, as dogs have historically been predators and cats are seen as prey. The shaking behavior may also be a physical manifestation of the dog's heightened arousal and alertness in the presence of a perceived threat or target.

Depends on what kind of battery you lick. If you lick a D, C, AA or AAA battery, nothing will happen because your tongue won't touch both positive and negative terminals. However, if you lick a 4.5-Volt or a 9-Volt battery so that your tongue touches both positive and negative terminals, you'll feel a slight unpleasant harmless shock.

Well, honey, cats don't actually like to eat their own or other cats' whiskers. Whiskers are like their GPS system, helping them navigate the world. If a cat is chewing on whiskers, it's probably out of boredom or stress, not because they have a sudden craving for a whisker sandwich. So, keep those whiskers intact and give your cat some toys or extra love instead.

Well, honey, cats are pretty efficient little predators. They have enzymes in their stomach that help break down feathers and beaks, so they can digest them just fine. But let's be real, they're not exactly savoring the taste of feathers and beaks like a fancy feast. It's all just going down the hatch to fuel their next pounce.

To write the abbreviated year 2008 correctly, you should write it as '08. The apostrophe before the 08 indicates that the first two digits of the year are omitted. This format is commonly used in informal or casual writing to save space and is understood to refer to the year 2008.

because i have two cats i know what they don't like. they don't like water on them, they don't like loud noise's, they don't like being picked up all the time and they don't like being teased.

What was said above may be true (for their cats, at least) but there could be better information. Cats do not generally like to have water sprayed on them or dumped on them. They also do not like their tails being pulled either, and they don't generally like being held upside down. Different cats dislike different things, so your cat may have things it doesn't like, (like getting its belly rubbed) while other cats would love/like it.

The term that would be more appropriate is bathe a cat. You would do this by getting the proper shampoo for cats then using warm water you would wash the cat. Like most animals you would need to be careful when washing by the ears.

Just as line any other cat, the predator will include any type of dog. In most cases, dogs and cats do not like each other when they first meet.

Absolutely not. It is painful and dangerous to pick them up by the scruff of the neck. The scruff of the neck cannot support the weight of an older kitten or adult cat; it will be painful for the cat and can cause injury to the cat's neck and spine.

Cats can also cough, it is more noticeable when they ingested something foreign or when something gets caught in their respiratory track. Cats also cough when sick though it is not as observable as to other mammals.

Oh, dude, like, technically speaking, boiling milk should kill off any harmful bacteria, but if your cat already took a sip, maybe just let them handle the milk situation. Like, it's probably not worth the risk of ending up in some weird cat-milk bacteria showdown. Just get some fresh milk and keep your cat out of it next time, man.

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! Cats scratch on posts to help keep their claws healthy and strong. It's a natural behavior for them, like painting happy little trees is for me. Providing a scratching post for your feline friend can help them feel content and keep your furniture safe too. Just remember, there are no mistakes, only happy accidents!

huddled

The sentence is one of those that seems confusing because of all the prepositional phrases:

in the middle

of the box

of the litter

Also the subject comes after the predicate in this one but once you find the subject (kitten), you can ask, 'What did the kitten do?' A: huddled
