A can of tuna, a bowl of milk, pieces of cooked chicken, or cooked egg might be alternatives to cat food to try.
EDIT:
PLEASE do not give the cat milk! Many cats are lactose intolerant and will become sick after drinking cow's milk. Leave out water instead or specially formulated milk made for cats and kittens.
Can you fix your cat if it eats a lizard?
Yes, however you will need the following tools:
- A small flathead screwdriver.
- Rohypnol
- Spare screws
- A few cloves of garlic
With these tools I think the answer should be fairly obvious.
Because they're tired and shoes are soft and like couches are to us.
How do you stop your cat from bringing in live animals?
Never rub his nose in it. Or otherwise punish your dog.
In a pack hierarchy, a subordinate dog will bring his kill to the alpha to gain approval and to show they respect their leadership. The dog doesn't understand why its so gross to bring it inside, they are giving you a gift. They will get super confused if you become angry and put his nose in it. Your dog is doing something nice for you!
Take the carcass outside, set it on the ground, and praise your dog. Leave your dog with its prize for a little while (if he eats it, as long as its not rotting meat, it doesn't matter) to show that you accept the gift but you are "done eating" and it is the dog's turn to have its share. Most dogs probably won't eat it, they will just leave it there as a symbol of their accomplishments, and then you may go back and remove the carcass.
Not in the way a human can, no. A cat's jaw can only move up and down, and their sharp premolars and molars are serrated and act like scissors; they cut up meat into bite-size chunks in order for the cat to swallow. A cat's teeth and jaw are not designed to grind up food into a pulp like a human can.
When do you get female cat fixed after first litter?
As soon as the kittens are weaned; preferably fairly shortly after so she doesn't get pregnant again. The mother cat's ovaries produce hormones that are essential for milk production; once the kittens no longer require milk, the mother cat can be spayed.
What is wrong with a cat when it wobbles when it walks?
Walking
If a cat refuses to walk or has little energy, they may be sick.
Leashes
Cats are not used to being on leashes, so a cat that does not like to walk on a leash is common.
What age does a kitten start to urinate and poop on there own?
When they are born, and they never need help. If your cat is having kittens it is important to keep the kitty shelter clean. Many times mommy kitten will take care of the kittens themselves, but the bedding will be nasty if it is not kept clean. Yes you can move the kittens, if you are scared of hurting the kittens by handling them slide a washcloth under them and lift them out of the bedding that way to clean it or change it.
Can kittens get worms from mom?
Not all kittens are born with worms. If the mother was wormed regularly and before the birth of the kittens it is unlikely that they will have worms. It is however highly recommended that kittens be wormed regularly and it is advised that this should be done monthly until they are 6 months old
What company manufactures fine feline dry cat food?
I believe that it is made by Doane Pet Care but please read the information below regarding how I came to that conclusion!
Interesting question, since last night (4/21/07) I was trying to find out who makes Special Kitty Gourmet Blend dry cat food when I saw your question. As you know, there is no Special Kitty website, and no information on the package that says who actually makes the food. Here is what I found out:
First, "Special Kitty" is a registered trademark of Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. This means that Wal-Mart owns the brand, but not necessarily that they actually make the food. In fact, they use several manufacturers to make and package the pruduct under their brand name.
One manufacturer they use is Menu Foods, but Menu claims that they only make wet and moist foods, including some or all of the wet/moist products with the Special Kitty brand name. I believe it is true that they do not make Special Kitty Dry foods, but do make some or all of the wet food with that brand name.
I could not get any reverse phone number lookup information on the number. When I googled it, two hits came up:
Both posts were in regard to "Maxximum Nutrition" brand dry dog foods, which I have seen at Wal-Mart in both cat and dog formulations. Both of the posts mentioned that the food bags had the same contact number. A trademark search at the USPTO showed that the brand is owned by Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.
One of the above posts mentioned that Maxximum was manufactured by "Doanes", which led me to Doane Pet Care. Doane is a huge manufacturer of dry pet food, under their own brands, as well as other brands. Their website also mentions that they make a majority of the dry pet food that is marketed under Wal-Mart owned brand names. One of the SEC 10K filings linked under the "investors" section of their site states that they make the majority of the foods marketed under Wal-Mart's "Special Kitty" brand name. The SEC filing also staes that they make the "Maxximum Nutrition" brand food.
So, I am convinced that Doane Pet Care makes my Special Kitty Gourmet Blend dry food, based especially on the fact that the 800 number on the bag is the same as the one on bags of Maxximum Nutrition food, both of which brands are made, at least in part, by Doane.
If your bag of Special Kitty dry kitten food gives a contact number of 800-982-9802, then it is very likely that it was made by Doan Pet Care.
Just to make it even more complicated the "News & PR" section of the Doane site has a press release stating that on June 13 of 2006, Mars, Inc. acquired the Doane Pet Care Company!
Hope this helps!
When do kittens start using the kitty litter?
Your kitten will start using the kitty litter box when he/she is about 5 or 6 weeks old. I know this because my cat has just recently had 3 kittens. They have just now started to walk into their mothers and slowly use it.
Hopefully your kitten will start to use the kitty-litter box! Good luck! (You'll really need it! Hint: Your kitten will probably go on the floor every once in a while. This is just natural.)
When a girl squrits is she peeing?
Yes, they can. They pee through the urethra, which is very near the vagina. They pee to get rid of waste materials.
Why do cats open their mouths?
Sometimes, yes, they pant. This can also happen when they're kind of freaking out too. When I was taking my cat home from a cat motel, in his cat cage, he was panting like a dog. It was a hot day, and he was a bit uncomfortable aswell. I'm not sure if it's bad if it happens, but if it does, try to cool your cat down and calm it.
Why shouldn't you scold your cat for bringing home dead animals?
Well i have three cats they kill mice and birds for fun (mainly)just like dogs with rabbits.
They (cats) also kill mice, birds ect for their owners to thank them for feeding them kind of like a "piece offering" ok
When you get a cat declawed do they grow back?
Answer
No. When a cat has been declawed, its claws cannot grow back. That is the whole point of declawing.
Answer
They can actually on occasion grow back (often deformed and misshapen) and then they need additional surgery.
Answer
Oh my God, how horrible. As if one declawing isn't horrific enough. Who on earth would be so barbaric as to put their cat through two declawings?
Just another reason why declawing should be illegal everywhere.
What color kittens do you get if you mate a male orange cat and a black female?
Siamese have pale bodies with darker colored points on the face, legs, feet and tail. All Siamese kittens are light-colored at birth and develop the pattern over time.
The color of Siamese mixed breed kittens will depend partly on the sire's breed. My Siamese had five kittens, two had the same markings as the mama cat, one pure black, and two black and white ones.
Can kittens from the same litter mate together?
unfortunately when a female cat goes into heat she will mate with any male cat she can find no matter what. this accidentally happened to me when my 2 cats who were brother and sister mated. the kittens were sort of deformed but generally okay.
A Declawed cat is a cat that had it's claws removed. I don't know of any cat born that way.
Can cat litters have different fathers?
Yes, a female cat can breed with several different males and have a kitten from each one. The way cats are made is kind of like the fingers on your hand. One kitten per finger. It is just luck which one is going to be fertilized each time a cat mates.
Here's a quote from a great Web site on tabanids (horseflies). "When the fly emerges from its pupal case females will seek a blood meal, whilst the males feed on nectar. The next priority for a newly emerged fly is to mate. This usually takes place during the early hours of the morning. Males come together in swarms above the forest canopy and females are attracted to these swarms. Females enter these dipteran "lekking" sites and copulation is initiated in the air, the act is completed on the ground and takes approximately five minutes." If you're interested, there's a lot more at this webiste: http://www.roberth.u-net.com/horseflies.htm#lifecycle
How soon after a litter can a cat become pregnant?
Within 6 weeks.
Another Answer
Normally, a Queen comes into heat every two or three weeks, and once she has been mated and had kittens, the heat cycle often starts again as soon as the kittens are weaned. Sometimes, a female cat can become fertile again as soon as the kittens are born.
However, this is far from recommended as letting a cat become pregnant constantly without "resting" her. Letting a cat become pregnant again so soon takes a huge toll on her health and overall quality of life, which then in turn puts any offspring at risk. Unless you are an experienced breeder then the best option is to not even consider having any litters, and get the cat neutered instead.
Additionally, there are so many cats and kittens who need homes, it's not a good idea to bring even more into the world, where finding new homes for the kittens is not guaranteed.
You can take it to a animal shelter, keep it if you want to, take it to a vet to see if it has one of those microchip things in their fur. PLEASE don't take it to a kennel, I read a memo online from a guy who works for kennels and he said it was horrible!
