Cat Behavior

If your cat is bleeding while in labor, it is important to seek immediate veterinary attention. Bleeding during labor can be dangerous for both the mother and kittens, and a vet can identify the underlying cause and provide appropriate treatment to ensure the safety of the cat and her litter.

They can but it's not right. Well if you're being really really bad and not doing what your suppose to do and you're not moving then yes but not choking only grabing from the back of your neck.

It means there is swelling inside the skull, probably along the optical nerve. This happens when an animal has had some sort of head trauma or has a tumor. It should definitely be looked at by a vet.

Cats have a very unique way of drinking. When they drink their tongues curl downwards. That is how the cat drinks. It is a very fast process, but that is what happens how cats drink.

It is not recommended to remove stitches at home from your cat after she has been spayed. It's best to have a veterinarian examine the incision site and remove the stitches to prevent any complications or infections.

Cats typically hiss when they feel threatened, startled, or scared. It is their way of showing displeasure or warning others to stay away. Hissing is a defensive behavior that cats use to protect themselves in situations where they feel unsafe.

No, desexed female cats do not go into heat. Spaying (desexing) involves removing the reproductive organs that are responsible for the heat cycle, so once a female cat is spayed, she will no longer experience heat cycles.

a cat will purr when in pain as well as when happy

they lap their tongue in it, to give your cat water just put it in a food bowl (the same type you would use for food) and your cat should drink it.

Not the same one you use for their food though!!! And keep both clean, the bowls and the food and the water.

There is no precise number available, as many cases of cat abuse likely go unreported. However, estimates suggest that thousands of cats are abused daily worldwide. It is important to report any suspected cases of animal abuse to the authorities.

Beliefs on which animals go to heaven vary between religions and individuals. Some believe that all pets can go to heaven, while others may have specific beliefs based on their faith or personal views. Ultimately, the concept of animals going to heaven is a matter of personal belief and faith.

The average lifespan of a domestic cat is around 15 years, although they can live into their early 20s with proper care. The age at which a cat is considered a senior can vary depending on factors such as breed and overall health.

Sheep sorrel is not safe for cats if ingested in large amounts as it can cause gastrointestinal upset and possibly kidney damage. It is best to keep sheep sorrel away from cats and consult with a veterinarian before introducing any new plant into their environment.

If you are talking about housecats, then, no. They have sharp teeth, yes, but not sharp enough to kill you. If one bites you hard, it might break the skin, but it won't kill you.

Digestion issues related to diet can cause loose stool in cats. Put the cat on a natural food like Alpha with prebiotics that will balance his digestive system and help him to have a more solid, healthy stool. This will also make the litter box easier to clean.

Give your cat treats when he/she does something right and completely ignore them when he/she does something bad, or remove them from the room for a while.

An example to give your cat a treat would be when he/she is being gentle, or responds to your voice in a positive way. A reason to ignore your cat is when the cat bites, or is playing too roughly. Cats love attention and will learn that certain behaviours will get it ignored, so have much less incentive to do these things, and will behave in ways that it knows will get it attention. If a cat is in a place it shouldn't be, simply remove them from the room, or if they respond well to their name, call them and give them a treat for responding.

Cats get angry and scared when you leave them when you are going away. They can be fine after about 3 or 4 days but try not to do any longer. Then when you get home give them lots of attention. If you are staying away longer, there a few things you can do: [from Cat Fancy] leave treats around the house, hidden so that your cat can look forward to a scavenger hunt. Leave little lights on that don't use much energy so that the whole house isn't pitch black for your cat. Maybe leave a TV on if your not so concered about saving money and energy. Call and leave a message on your phone so that your cat can hear your voice. Also you can leave some music playing for them to listen to.

ALL cat feces (or any feces of all species) has an odor, but if a cat's feces has an especially putrid odor, along with possibly being loose, it is possible that the cat has coccidiosis. Which is caused by a protozoan parasite. Kittens have died from lack of treatment for coccidia.

That's a funny question. I'm not sure because I don't know your kitten or cat but my best guess is that the kitten is still not fully weaned yet and still wants to suck his/her mother's milk. The kitten must've mistaken it.

This might not pertain to all cats but luckily, mine never had problems when they ate tinsel and one of them ate it all the time when it was around. He is passed now but I remember finding tinsel and whatever else he found laying around to chew on in his litter box feces quite often. The odd time when it worried me, I would give them a dose of Toniclax (which is an over the counter medication from the vet here in Canada that I always keep around). It is a laxitive/hairball remover that works quite gently when used regularly. It is primarily kept on hand by owners of long haired cats but I've had cats from short hair to Persian and it seemed to work quite well on all of them.

No, when a cat opens its mouth and curls back its lips, it is called the Flehmen response. This behavior helps them to analyze scents more effectively by using a specialized organ called the Jacobson's organ, located in the roof of their mouth.
