Until they get pregnant or spayed. Cats don't have set cycles like dogs, there may be a few days of break, but it will seem pretty much continuous for your cat until the cat is fixed. A cat can be in heat for several days to two weeks or longer, and start again every two to three weeks. This cycle happens throughout the year.
Can you ammonia to keep cats away from your yard?
What you can do is use the system called Trap-Neuter-Return. What you do is, if the cat is not hissing or spitting at you, let him inside. Keep the cat in your sight while you call the nearest Animal Shelter. Tell them your problem, and that you want to use this system. they will neuter/spay the cat and release it back into the wild once it is well enough. That way you don't have a cat locked up in an Animal Control place when they were just being curious.
Why do cats scratch up couches?
Scratching is partly a territorial behavior. Cats have scent glands on their paws, so, when they scratch something, they are marking it as their own in two ways: first, by physically damaging it, and second, by applying their scent to it.
Scratching is also a grooming behavior. It helps remove the outer layer of dead tissue on their claws.
It is also a way for them to stretch, as well as a form of exercise that strengthens and tones their upper body.

How do you train bunnies to pee and poop in their litter box?
The simple answer to this is, it is more a case of your bunny training you!
Bunnies are naturally very clean animals. They like to always use the same 'latrine' area. This works greatly to our advantage when training them. Simply put newspaper down and see where they like to go. Once they have picked a corner put down the litter tray! Encourage them to use it by putting some hay in there along with the wood shavings/paper pulp litter. Bunnies like to nibble while they pee.
If the litter tray is not where You want it to be... you will gradually need to move it to a more suitable place. Let the bunny get used to it first, after a couple of weeks you can start the moving process. Always move it when the bunny has used it though, so they can smell that this is the same litter tray!

~also it helps to try "baiting" the litter box... take some poo from where it goes and move it into the litter box this will act as the "bait" then make sure to clean the old area well before you expect them to use the litter box... this worked wonders for me when i trained my rabbit remember rabbits are twice as easy to train as a cat~

Rabbits are a very popular menu item for many predatory animals. Any predatory cat from a bobcat to a cougar or a leopard will gladly eat rabbit when it gets a chance. Doglike predators such as dingoes and coyotes are fond of rabbits as well.
Danger for rabbits also comes from the air in the form of eagles and other raptors, or avian predators.
Serpents of both the poisonous kind and the constricting kind gladly eat rabbits whenever they can.
Life is hard if you're a rabbit. Rabbits have many babies in hopes that a few of them survive.
As for what rabbits eat: rabbits are browsers. That means that rabbits eat a wide variety of leaves and other vegetation.
Why would a cat not use the litter box?
ABSOLUTELY take your cat to the vet if you're sure he/she is not able to urinate!! cats can become "blocked" - preventing them from urinating. this is a VERY critical problem...but one that can be taken care of with proper vet care.
What happens if my dog attacks a cat in our garden?
You garden will probably get messes up.
If it was on your property, then the cat could be said to have been trespassing, and therefore any injuries it received would not be your fault. If the dog attacked the cat anywhere beyond the boundaries of your property, you could be held liable for keeping an "aggressive" dog, and have to pay damages or perhaps have your dog restrained or put down.
There could be many possibilities, but one is that the cat had a minor injury and when you pick it up the injury hurts and it is blaming you for the pain. It might be a good idea to take your cat to a veterinarian for an examination.
Will a sleeping pill hurt your cat?
I really wouldn't try it. There's really no way of telling how a drug/medicine intended for one species will work in another species - specially when you want to use it outside its intended purpose. You may well end up only injuring the cat, which would be really, really bad.
If it's a healthy cat you no longer can take care of - hand it over to a local animal healthcare group(ASPCA/RSPCA or similar).
If it's an old sick cat, do the responsible thing and take it to a veterinarian.
Does your cat like you or do you like your cat?
Answer: It is more like you enjoy the companionship of each other. However, it is your responsibility to provide the cat's food and a nice environment.

How do you now when a cat is sad?

What kind of food does a kitten eat?
A kitten gets fed from their mom, for the first 6-8 weeks.
High quality kitten food is best. As long as the food has plenty of meat in it and no cereals, grains or corn in. For young kittens, soft food will be easier for them to eat.
Kittens are constantly growing and developing, so they need all the nutrients they can get. Typically, a kitten will need twice as much protein as an adult cat, so it is usually best to feed the kitten as much as it needs until it is around a year old.
Why do cat breeders insist on keeping cats indoors?
Breeders often keep very valuable animals and don't want them picking up fleas or diseases from being outside. They could pass on a disease to their kittens and the breeder wouldn't make any money. The treatment would have to be paid for or if it is a serious condition, the kittens may not be saleable.
Are cat bites most infectious?
No, the bite of the Komodo Dragon is considered to the most highly infectious, non-poisonous animal bite , but cat bite can be quite nasty. A tetanus shot would be in order if you cannot remember when you last had one, and wound cleaning of course and keeping an eye on it for infection.
Depends really on what type of cat it is.
Smaller, lighter cats will naturally eat less, whereas a bigger or bulky cat will eat more. That said, a cat will eat far more if fed a lower quality food to get the nutrition it needs, and less if fed a premium quality food.
The best way to find out how much you should feed your own cat is to keep an eye on his or her weight. You can do this by weighing him once a week to see if he gains or loses weight, or feeling for any extra layers of fat over his ribs. Be sure to consult a veterinarian first in order to find out the cat's weight and health.
It depends really. Some cats really hate water, they probably hate being chased by children too, also the type of food you give them, if you put a peice of cheese or meat in front of a cat, it's bound to eat it. If you place a vegetable or a peice of bread it's unlikely to eat it.
Do male cats make better pets than female cats?
yes it's a territory thing!
Another Answer
How much a cat urinates depends on what it is fed, and how much water it drinks. Gender has no factor.
An intact (not neutered) male cat will spray as many surfaces as possible to mark out territory and to attract a female. Unspayed female cats do this also to some extent. Neutered cats, female or male, do not urinate more than the other.

Why do cats cover up their poop after going potty?
I have worked with feral cats (these are cats who have been born outside and lived on the streets their whole lives - never been pets), and every one of them will cover his or her leftover food. I believe that it is an instinct that comes from the need to hide their food from other animals - both because another animal may eat it, and also because the other animal would then know where the cat lived.
