Why do cats like to eat their own or other cats' whiskers?
I've actually never seen that happen and I've owned cats since I was like 5. Are you sure it's natural?
----
I just want to say that I've seen this happen a couple of times. I have 8 cats.
First you need to locate a whisker(easier if you have a lot of cats). Present it to a cat's nose. Usually it will eat it with much interest almost immediately. It doesn't matter if the whisker is its own or from another cat.
Some cats, however, do not show much interest. In my family only the three biggest eaters show a keen interest in snacking on whiskers.
If the whisker is more than a day old(I sometimes collect the whiskers to admire them for awhile, don't ask my why:D ), they don't show the same interest, so I guess fresh is best?
I deduce that the whiskers are coated with some kind of oil(it feels slightly oily or maybe it's from the food they eat) and taste good to some cats OR the whisker is implanted in a follicle that has a lovely parfum de chat that some cats love. Just my theory.

you must have a disfuctional cat because i have a cat and sometimes i find his whiskers on the floor and i let him sniff it and he has never ate it
*** This is funny but I have to say my cat starla ate one of her whiskers just recently that had fallen out on the floor. I've never seen her do that before but I'm sure she probably has. I think maybe they do this because they are prone to chew on anything that is like string, wire etc. But then again I guess really only cats know why they do crazy things like this. :) ***
Do cats digest the feathers and beaks of the birds they eat?
Sometimes they will, but this really depends on the cat. A cat can indeed eat the whole bird, including feathers, beaks and feet if it wants - a cat's stomach acid can break down feathers and bone with relative ease. Any pieces left undigested (which is very little!) are expelled with the cat's waste - or even may be regurgitated.
How do you write 08' abbreviated year correctly?
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.
What are the enemies of Siamese cats?
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.
Are cats relaxed when you pick them up by the neck?
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.
Is it dangerous to drink milk even after boiling if the cat drank from the milk?
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.
Why do cats scratch on a post?
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
Oh, dude, cats shouldn't drink Horlicks. Like, it's not toxic or anything, but it's not really a part of their balanced diet. Stick to water or cat-friendly milk, and save the Horlicks for yourself. I mean, unless you want your cat to start demanding a bedtime story and tucking them in at night.
Bird is to fly but what is a cat to?

If Carol likes felines but not cat's halibut but not flounder, and palaces but not castles, she would like lions, since they are a type of feline. The halibut and flounder reference is a red herring meant to distract from the answer. Similarly, the mention of palaces and castles is meant to confuse, but the key is in focusing on the felines clue.
What does it mean when a girl sticks her tongue out at you?
Depends what way the person sticks it out. If they are doing it with a negative attitude, it means they are bragging, showing they dislike you, or are jealous of you. If they are doing it with a positive attitude, they are just joking with you. If a boy does it to you, he likes you and is teasing you, or he is one of your friends joking with you.
It means "Kiss me quickly before I change my mind."

How do you adjust your own spine?
Answer by Puhlaa:
When your muscles are relaxed your spine may "crack" (what doctors of chiropractic call "release") on its own when you bend, twist, etc. This is simply the release of gases from the joint space, and is no different than cracking knuckles, etc.
It should be noted that research has suggested that the "cracking" sound that comes from "cracking" a joint has no therpeutic benefit in itself. It seems that it is rather the high velocity and low amplitude stretch of proprioceptive musculature that surrounds the joint that induced the therapeutic effect. Thus, simply "cracking" your own back by twisting yourself or squeezing a friend will not result in the same benefits of a proper adjustment by a skilled professional such as a doctor of chiropractic, who have attended at least 8 years of post secondary education to perfect this technique.
____________________________________.
- Hmmm, this can be dangerous. The best idea is to be sure the muscles are fully relaxed. So, make sure you let stress go, take a hot massage shower and all that. If there is nothing wrong with your spine, sitting, standing and walking with good posture will align it. You can also try stretching your back. Never jerk into or use momentum to get into a streching position. Just stretch slowly. "Popping" your spine can damage it so be wary. If your spine is seriously out of alignment, such that you cannot get into a proper posture, or if you are in a lot of pain or frequently have spine issues you may want to see a doctor. The best way to avoid spine problems is to have good muscle tone in your back and abdomen and to sit, stand and walk with good posture and sleep on a good mattress at night. Hope this helps!
- It is possible if you know what you are doing. It took over 3 years of chiropractic training to get to this level of mastery. That said it's a process. Koren Specific Technique is great place to begin if you want to work your way backwards!

Can you taser a feral cat without killing it?
Using a taser on a feral cat can cause serious injury or even death. It is not a recommended method for dealing with feral cats. It's best to contact local animal control or a rescue organization for assistance in safely trapping and relocating the cat.
What do you do if a cat doesn't chew the ambilical cord?
If a cat does not chew the umbilical cord, you can gently wipe away any birth fluids from the kitten's face and nose using a clean cloth. Then, you can use sterilized scissors to cut the umbilical cord about an inch from the kitten's body and tie it off with a clean thread to prevent bleeding. If you are unsure or uncomfortable doing this, it's best to seek assistance from a veterinarian.
There is no such thing. I'm an eleven year old, and even I know this! Some wild cats have small stubs for tails, such as the Lynx, AKA Jungle Cat.
If you pass by a tail-less cat, they may have been injured.
Why does your cat keep twicting and licking himself?
Your cat may be experiencing mild skin irritation, allergies, parasites, or stress that is causing him to twitch and constantly groom himself. It's best to consult with a veterinarian to determine the root cause and provide appropriate treatment to alleviate your cat's discomfort.
Are cat's tongues antibacterial?
Yes, cat's tongues have antibacterial properties due to the presence of papillae, which are tiny, hook-shaped structures on their tongue that help clean their fur and skin. Additionally, cat's saliva contains enzymes that can help to kill bacteria.
