What treats should you feed your cat?
you can give a cat age 1 and up milk (but not everyday) little bits of cheese, bits of ham and cooked meats. They also like wet cat food every once in a while. do not feed them wet cat food all the time( it can cause runny poop that stinks real bad) so give them some hard food too. you can feed them some small amounts of cat nip and cat nip treats.
What does it mean when you get close to your cat an she starts purring an wagging her tail?
This means your cat could be coming into it's heat.
Kittens usually begin the weaning process around 4-6 weeks of age. They begin by taking an interest, or picking at their mother's solid food. At this age they will still be suckling and getting nutrients from their mother, but putting a tiny bit of wet food down every few hours will entice them to eat. You could see if they will lick food off your fingertip or off their own paws. This first stage can take several days.
Mushed up wet food, or wet food that is throughly mixed with a little water or kitten milk is the best type of food for them right now. It is easy for them to eat and digest. It is advisable not to try dry food as, even softened with water, kittens may still not be able to eat it. Be sure to feed them from a plate and not a bowl, as it is easier for the kittens to pick up the food.
Gradually, over the course of several weeks, decrease the amount of water/milk in the food as the kittens become more confident with eating. The weaning transition should not be rushed.
Can table scraps make your chow mix dog scratch like crazy?
yes table scraps are bad for dog! for one they might be allergic to something in the food. for the second reason it will make them over weight which can cause heart deasise. ANSWER #2 You can feed some human food, I'm talking about a healthy pet, not a puppy or sick dog. Cooked green vegetables in moderation added to their food, no corn, pieces of beef, chicken, turkey, no bones !! Breads sparingly, cooked oatmeal, cooked white rice, cooked brown rice, potatoes are ok as long as they are not loaded up with butter or sour cream. Potatoes are ok, with the exception: the potatoe family you have to watch for the sugar content, especially if your pet is a diabetic. No sugar coated items, no donuts, cookies etc, these will all cause problems if not now, it will as time passes. No mustard, ketchup, or mayo, miracle whip, no lunchmeats unless they are sugar free. I think its better to add some good human food to dog food especially the dry dog foods, but remember to feed less dogfood when you use human food.
How many years do cats normally live for?
18 years on average. I had one cat who lived to be 18, and one who lived to be 21. The one who died earlier was the one I expected to live longer, and I never expected the other cat to live for 21 years. Both of them were put down, the younger one had to be put down because a lump was growing in her mouth that was stopping her from eating, and the other one I could notice getting thinner each day, the vet couldn't even feel her kidneys, and she wasn't really eating. She had to be put down in November in 2008
Why does your cat cry after drinking water?
Cats dont usually gag after drinking water. If your cat does then i strongly recommend visiting the vet, as it may have something stuck in its thoat that gets disturbed when drinking water. You can wait for a few days and if the cat continues to gag then take it to the vet. Though i doubt it there also could be a problem with the water.

What should you do when a cat is living under your porch?
I hav two of my own cats, but hav often had to deal with stray cats and homeless animals. Try to tempt it out ... show it you are a friend. Giv it some semi-skimmed milk or tuna .. maybe the milk first because it could be dehydrated, and milk is bad for cat's digestion, so food would be best later. leave the food out, then when you can, leave some ina cat basket, then try to catch it and take it to your local animal shelter. Good luck!

Do cats carry staph in their litter boxes and on their fur?
Toxoplasmosis is found in cat scat and may be damaging to a fetus if the mother has no prior exposure and antibodies to cats during the first trimester unless you've already been around cats a lot and are immune.
No they should remain the same.
-----------------------
It depends what light they're in, as ALL cats are tabbys, but you just can't see their stripes most of the time. The easiest places to see the stripes are the paws and the tail. --- No, not all cats are tabbies. Cats that are not tabbies are called selfs and you cannot see tabby markings anywhere. Your Siamese is a tabby or lynx-point Siamese. Not all shows accept this, but most do. If the markings are only on the tail and not on the face or legs, it may be considered a fault in breed standards.
Would a cat nurse kittens that didn't belong to her?
No. Because the kittens need the milk from their mother
AnswerYes, absolutely. If 2 female cats have kittens close to the same age, they will sometimes steal and nurse the kittens. Strong maternal instincts
Actually, it is pretty rare. I once owned 21 cats at the same time and the kitten can usually tell its own mother apart from the other adult females. It's not unheard of though so yes.
No, actually some cats like the sparkles on glitter, but if you mean do they like to eat it then yes, they do hate it because they don't like to eat glitter. Some like to look at it, though.
Can cat bites harm pregnant women?
Cat urine is not harmful to pregnant women or their unborn children. That is an old wives' tale. Cat urine contains ammonia, which means the fumes can be overpowering in a dirty litter box, but it will not harm you or your unborn child. The fact that it smells awful doesn't mean it'll hurt you.
Cat feces can carry a disease called toxoplasmosis, which can be harmful to pregnant women and their unborn babies. However, toxoplasmosis is a disease that only affects outdoor cats. If your cat is an indoors-only cat, you do not need to worry about toxoplasmosis.
Certain kinds of litters (specifically, the clay-based kind) contain toxins which are potentially harmful to humans. This is really only a problem when you pour the new litter in the box, or dig around in the box vigorously, as this releases a cloud of clay dust.
Instead of clay litter, try the crystal kind, such as Clear Choice Crystals or Fresh Magic. You can also try a corn-based litter like World's Best Cat Litter, but in my experience, the crystal litter is far superior. It lasts much longer, it controls odor better than any other litter, and there are no urine clumps to scoop. Instead, the urine is absorbed by the crystals, so you only have to scoop the poop. It also tracks much less (meaning, far less of it gets kicked out of the box onto the floor).
Yes, they do. Sometimes they are more patient, and wait until you suspect nothing. Cats have long memories and can hold a grudge for a long time. So be nice to them.
Why Do Dogs and Cats Chase Laser Pointers?
Because that is the way they have evolved. A cat's senses, particularly eyesight, is very sensitive to motion. Cats like to ambush prey, meaning they will creep up as close as possible, then pounce. Movement of the prey shows where it is, and allows the cat to make a accurate pounce.
What happens if your cat drinks from your fish bowl?
It could be the cat is getting enough water from his food if being fed canned or pouched food.
Cats are notoriously bad drinkers, even when they are thirsty. This is because they have evolved to get all their needed moisture from their prey (their ancestors were cats that lived in very dry and arid environments where water was hard to come by). It is a trait that has been passed down over the thousands of years.
There are several things you can do to increase how much water your cat is intaking. By far the easiest option is to feed a wet food diet. Canned or pouched food has anywhere between 60 to 80% water. Seeing as in the wild a cat's prey is around 70% water, wet food provides a cat with more than enough water each day.
If you feed dry food, it may be ideal to and incorporate at least some wet food into the cat's diet each day, so your kitten gets at least some water.
Another way to increase water intake is to leave a tap on, or purchase a pet water fountain. Many cats are fickle when it comes to water and will only drink fresh moving water. A running tap or fountain keeps water constantly moving and fresh, and both methods are very successful in enticing a cat to drink more water.
If your cat is male, it is especially vital to make sure he is thoroughly hydrated. Male cats are much more susceptible to urinary tract infections (UTI's) which is often caused by not enough water over a period of time.
There can be many things that can make cats jumpy. Cats have a 6th sense, they can sense energy that humans can't. A cat may start to act jumpy before an earthquake because they can sense the energy coming from miles away.
Another answer: Cats are very cautious and curious-your question is not specific enough to provide a good answer.

Can cat food be eaten by humans?
No, it is not ideal to feed a dog cat food. Dogs love cat food because cat food has much more protein and fat in than dog food does. Cat food does not have the correct nutrients a dog needs - cat food has lots of added nutrients that cats cannot synthesize themselves but dogs can, so dogs fed on cat food can get too much of certain nutrients, and also become overweight from too much protein and fat.
