Cat Behavior

Because she was bored.

If they are not neutered, then that could be why they fight. Or maybe your house is too small for them to be comfortable and they are trying to claim their own territory. I suggest you get them neutered if they are not yet. Also, get some Comfort Zone or Feliway products. These help calm cats down.

Siamese cats live wherever people will take them in...and of course it depends on the climate too.

Cats actually don't always meow. In the wild, kittens mew, but adult cats generally don't vocalize much. Meowing in domestic cats is probably what scientists call neotenous behavior ... kittens mew to get their mother's attention, and domestic adult cats meow to get attention from their surrogate parents (that is, humans). A cat meowing probably wants something: food, water, "let's play a game", "clean my litter box", or something like that.Nobody is quite sure why (or even how) cats purr. One theory is that mother cats purr so that the kittens (who are born essentially blind) know where the mother is, and adult cats keep that because purring reminds them of a time when mother was near, so felt safe and cared for. It's known that severely injured cats will sometimes purr, and some people think this is to help them calm themselves.

leopard geckos are naturally nocturnal animals but from what i have heard ones that are pets can fall in to the routine of coming out during the day, it helps if you feed them during th day, im thinking of getting one so i have done alot of research but i am no expert in this area

its not cruel to have a cat keept in a house but make sure it has everything it needs like shelter,food,water and something to play with

You need to take your cat to the vet, they will know what to do. And if it really can not breath at all do not wait to go to the vet, call in and tell them it's an emergency and that your cat cannot breath.

i have a kitten that is 2 monts old and it git alot of fleas and a flea coller

Cats hate the smell of anything close to strong like colone but dogs don't mind the smell of strong stuff

It is a male dominance thing. There can only be one male cat in the area (house).

No, there can be more than one male cat in the house and they can learn to live peacefully with each other. If you get them fixed the fighting will lessen, and they will likely become best buddies.

Not many cats do but i think its to get your sent.

If you want to be really safe and make sure that the cat is not in any danger whatsoever you will have to watch it and make sure it doesn't go onto the road or near a railroad, or dark woods where you can't see it, especially in the country.

However normally cats can be let outside and will normally be able to get away from danger themselves.

My best answer would be when you go to bed, your cat goes too. Well, that's what I do, and it works pretty good. Set her (or him) in the little mini-bed or wherever he or she is sleeping every night. Try to get the cat used to it and then they will be more than willing to go there to sleep. I would also suggest putting a blanket in with them to help increase comfort which helps them get used to it.

First you need to understand the reasons for the behavior, especially if this represents a change in behavior from a cat that has always used the litter box in the past.

You should take the cat to a veterinarian to find out if it has a bladder or kidney infection. Even if the cat does not show signs of pain, an infection may be making him very uncomfortable and prompting him to pick a comfortable place, like a sofa cushion.

If the cat is found to be in good health, you need to think about circumstances that may have started the behavior. Have you moved the litter box to a location the cat doesn't like? Have you changed the type of litter you use? You may need to experiment with liter box locations and different kinds of litter. Cats often dislike scented litter and they also may not like covered litter boxes. If the box is not kept clean enough they may not want to step into it.

When the behavior first started, could there have been something that made him scared when he went to the litter box, such as a loud noise or a threat from another animal? If this is the case you need to make sure the threat has been removed and gently reintroduce him to the litter box.

Cats are very territorial, so if there are other cats in the house who share the litter box, you may need to add another box in another location so each one can have his own territory. If you have recently brought another pet into the house, the cat may be peeing on the sofa in order to assert his ownership and dominance.

In any case, retraining him may take some time. Even if you have cleaned the couch and can't smell anything, the cat can probably still smells the urine, and that smell tells him to use it again. Try cleaning with a diluted vinegar solution (if the fabric can take it). You may need to have the couch professionally cleaned or replace the cushions. Try placing something on the couch that will be uncomfortable for the cat, such as double-stick tape. Put a small littler box near the couch, or maybe even on the spot he has been using. When he gets used to using that box, after a couple of days, move it a few inches. Every couple of days, move the box just a few inches, until finally it is in the location you want. You can also try putting the cat's food bowl on the couch (temporarily of course), since cats normally do not like to urinate near their food.

Ailurophobia is the morbid fear of cats,

If you estimate she is about nine weeks from being in heat, you see movement in her heavy stomach, the time is close. Set up a quiet, dark place with towels and show it to her when it is ready and chances are she will use it.

You have to find out what your kitten has! Take it to a vet: Kittens cannot easily fight these conditions and can die from dehydration. The vet will probably put it on IV fluids (supportive care) and if the cause is bacterial it will also get antibiotics.

just ur cat talking to you. there are different kind of meow's there's a feed me. pat me pay attention to me. my litter try need's changed, hello i love you.

Not all stray cats have rabies, but some can if they have gotten bit by a different animal, like a squirrel, with rabies and if they haven't gotten their rabies vaccination. If you notice the cat is foaming from the mouth, going up to you unafraid or has unusual behaviors it could mean they have rabies. I hope I helped answer your question!

Well, their mother (if they have one) will probably not be too comfortable with you touching her babies. I would perhaps stroke them when they are newborn - a couple weeks, and then maybe hold them VERY carefully for short periods of time after that. The nwhen they start to play, you can interact with them, giving Mum a break. If they are orphans, handle them to feed them and cuddle them and give them plenty of love.

Well that is up to you, have you been out and collected up litter in your area? If not whay do you expect other people to do it.

It can vary depending on how developed the kitten is, but the best time to separate kittens from their mother is when the kittens are twelve weeks old. Ten weeks at the very earliest. At this age a kitten is be able to walk and run, its eyes are open and is able to eat solid cat food. Some kittens are not fully weaned, or know how to use the litter tray at eight weeks old.

However, the most important reason for keeping kittens together until twelve weeks is socialisation. Kittens learn very important socialisation and behaviour skills from eight weeks onwards. During this time kittens will learn how to play and interact with their littermates, mother and any other animals and humans in the house.

Yes I am pretty sure they catch mice for fun if they are domestic cats unless you don't feed them enough, then they might hunt so feed them at least two times a day a can of cat food or special cat tuna. Not human tuna it can kill them. Milk might make them throw up you can try feeding them it but if it throws up stick to water hope this helped:) Maybe you should talk to the vet about that though.

Sometimes cats eat mice for fun, other times if they are barn cats or cats that have been rescued from being feral for some time, they will catch them out of instinct and either eat them or give them to you as a present. If they do that, btw, don't make a big fuss out of it, they are just being cats, just take the mouse outside and bury it. You may even want to praise the cat a little for it's kindness in sharing its meals with you.

Maybe, depending on how good you are at taming animals. Feral cats are genetically identical to house cats, but their early socialization makes them act very different.

It is extremely difficult to socialize a feral cat to trust humans after the age of approximately two months. But once you develop this trust and affection, the cat will start realizing the benefit of shelter and a steady food supply. However, if you cannot get the cat to come inside, or even to trust you, don't blame yourself - depending on the individual cat, this might not be possible.

Start with food and familiarization. Leave the food a good distance from your back door, maybe twenty feet. When the cat returns to the food a few days in a row, open the back door and let the cat smell you while it eats. (It may bolt at this point; just stay quiet and still until it comes back.) After a few more days, sit outside, and then get progressively closer. You may talk to the cat in a gentle voice. Don't look at it more than briefly; staring is aggressive, averting eyes is friendly. You may extend your hand at this point for it to smell you.

The biggest challenge will be to touch the cat. At first it will have no idea what you're trying to do, having never been petted, and will assume you mean it harm. Stay patient, sit by the food, and retreat if you have to. Move slowly and only extend one hand, so you can show you aren't trying to grab it. Eventually you will be able to touch its head. From there it is a short step to petting it the first time, after which it will happily come back for more.

Now that you have a kitty that purrs when you pet it, you have your house cat! Well, you have to convince it to move inside first, but it will - especially if it is cold outside. The trick is to give it a way in (an open door if possible), welcome it inside with encouraging words, and then wait for it to accept. DO NOT pick up the cat, chase it inside, or otherwise force the issue. Once it is inside, make sure it has an exit, such as a cat door or open window. This is essential to preserving trust. Your new cat may come and go, especially at first, but will quickly become fond of its house.

If you can't tame the feral in question, you don't have to abandon it. As long as it is spayed/neutered you can keep putting out food for it, though most ferals live in colonies and you will be inviting their friends too. There are often programs to help ferals in the wild and give them medical care, etc., so look into that as well.
