How long does a dying cat that's dying from old age live?
They are about 17-19 years old, but some stubborn cats might live till 25
What is good to cover up the smell of cat pee?
Do not put soap on it. Blot dry. May rinse with water and reblot. Buy incredible product called Kids and Pets pr Pets and Kids. Product works with enzymes and soap blocks action. Found mine at Publix in Florida. Try looking online for it. Do not buy Urine Gone--not as good.
Are cats attracted to sand piles to urinate?
Cats pee in sand because after burying their waste, they can hide their smell from predators or other cats. Hiding this smell also helps them with hunting.
What do you need to get for when your cat is going to have kittens?
Some things that kittens need are water, obviously. They also need food. Good quality food that has lots of good meat sources and no grains/cereals help kittens grow and develop. Cat biscuits are not really a requirement but ideal for young kittens to nibble on if you are out of the house most of the day. Biscuits are often full of grains such as corn, wheat and sugars and soy which do not provide any goodness to a cat. Young kittens usually get fed three to five times a day - but when they get older they can get fed two times a day.
Also when your kitten is very small it won't want to eat chunky meat, so it is best to mash it up with a fork.
If you are buying dry food to suppliment their meat diet, make sure to get kitten biscuits, not adult cat biscuits - kitten biscuits are more suited to a kitten's small mouth.
A kitten will also need alot of love, especially on its first few nights. It will probably cry in the night if it isn't sleeping on your bed.
If you can't play with it in the day, you will want to get it a few cat toys, as kittens are very playful.
Kittens - and cats - need to get de-flead and de-wormed regularly. About once a month for a kitten. Go to your local vet for flea and worm tablets or liquid. The liquid stuff works very well, so I recommend you buying that. Sometimes you can get de-flea and de-worm liquid in one which is very easy. The vet will tell you how to use it.
It will also need to be neutered or spayed before 6 months old.
If you take it for a complete check-up to the vet, the vet will tell you when it needs to be neutered or spayed, unless it's already been done.
It will also tell you everything about the de-flea/worming and anything else you need to know. It may be healthier for young kittens to have the powder de-flea stuff instead of the liquid as it isn't so poisonous and won't get into your kittens bloodstream.
Good luck with your new kitten!
Does a long haired kitten loose its fur?
yes! if the male and female are both shorthair their isnt a good chance but is possible
What happens if your cat eats a rabbit?
It may be because the rabbit itself was sick or poisoned, or the cat itself had a compromised immune system which makes it more susceptible to being more vulnerable to any extra harmful bacteria in the prey.
That being said, it is very uncommon for a healthy cat to get sick from eating a rabbit, mouse, rat, bird or other animal it has caught. A cat's digestive system is well equipped for breaking down everything (meat, organ, bone) in order to extract all the nutrients it needs. Even bacteria that can be found has very little to no chance to multiply and become harmful inside the cat as a cat's system is so fast and efficient.
Why are cats always so hungry?
There are a few scenarios here:
- You are not actually hungry, but rather thirsty; often we confuse the two feelings. If you feel you are hungry, try drinking a glass of water and see if it subsides.
- You are actually bored or stressed.
- You have a quick metabolism, and often need to eat snacks or small meals to keep up.
Eating is a part of living; keep it nutritious and it shouldn't be an issue.
You may also just be having a growth spurt

How much water in tinned cat food?
Canned or pouched food has anywhere between 60 to 80% water, which closely mimics how much water a cat would get in the wild . In the wild, a cat's prey is around 65%-75% water, wet food provides a cat with more than enough water each day.
What do you do if your cat wont stop crying?
Firstly consider if something may be coursing the howling/crying. Consider if she is in pain, in discomfort. Is she eating probably? Sleeping probably? Cats do not have facial expressions - such adds to why cats have the reputation of being aloof and such - with the lack of facial expressions they express themselves through tail movements, purring, meowing and growling.
I have a howling cat, whenever she wants anything. She is a rescued cat and this howling tends to be her showing she wishes to go outside, where she has been most of her life. So generally I find the howling to display something. Try to figure out what it is, watch her, look at her, when does it begin? Try giving her food, comfort, a gentle stroke and if everything else fails, try taking her to your vet to have a chat because something medical could be wrong.
Can a male cat get a 1 year old female kitten pregnant?
Yes. Females go into "heat" and atract males. You may not see any bleeding when your female matures, but they often get afectionate, and they may cry to be let out when they know a suiter is around. The first litter is often smaller- one or two babies only.

Wow, aren't you mature?
Get some lemons, bicarbonate of soda and a rag. Put the bicarbonate on the floor and run it into the stain, then cut the lemon into two and put it in the room where the stain is. The lemon should intake the smell and replace it with a lemony smell.
Keep washing the floor for a few days with bicarbonate of soda, then with soap!
Why does your cat bite her kittens throat?
Because the male cat wants to mate with the female cat. if it gets really bad talk to your local vet or pet shop.
What does it mean if my cat doesn't move?
If he's in a corner and not eating or drinking, it probably means he has a temperature. A cat will not eat if his temperature goes above 105 degrees. A trip to a vet is required in this situation. Not to be mean but it might mean it is dead aswell.

How do l stop my cat from scratching a wound on her face without using that cone?
You didn't mention if your cat has been to the vets yet. It's obvious there is some form of dermatitis going on or something else. If you have been to the vet then the collar must be left on to give the medication a chance to work. If you haven't been to the vet for a diagnosis on your cat please do so as soon as possible.
Why would your cat start staggering and shaking suddenly?
Like humans and most other animals, cats depend on their inner ear canals for balance. A lack of equilibrium can be caused by an ear infection. Any infection, in fact, if it is severe enough, can affect equilibrium. Additionally, a cat uses his tail as an active weight to aid his balance; a disease that affects the control of his tail, or the traumatic loss of a significant part of his tail, can hinder his balance.
Most mice are nocturnal, they sleep during the day. They play more and eat more at night.
How do you check the fever of cats?
You take your cat to the vet and make sure they take their temperature . If you see the doctor do it you can do it to.
Well, in order for human hair to grow you need to possess a number of biological characteristics. For example, you need to be under the age of 65 to produce good looking hair and it is a known fact that orange or (ranga) hair is not actually hair. It is unwanted cells growing out the top of your head because your body doesnt want it anymore. It is rejected because it is to strange to grow out of such places as your anus so it just grows out your head.
No, adult cats don't need milk. In fact, many adult cats will get sick and get diarrhea from drinking milk, especially cow's or goat's milk, or any other animal milk. Few cats are okay with milk, but it's best just to give them fresh water instead.
usually about the size of your hand (not including your fingers)
Why does your kitten like to bite?
The answer below is BS!!!
I am a cat expert (16 years exp.) and I will tell you Why Your Cat Lightly Bites You...
Light biting is NOT a sign of POWER! Cats like to play fight/ rough house... If there are no other cats (or dogs) in the home they will view you as their sibling... My cat.., does this even when I have over 50 toys for her to play with... I accept this nature though and rough house/ play fight back...
Your cat is only sharpening their skills... they do this through play fighting, stalking, etc... Although it is NOT recommended to accept this form of behavior... Especially with kittens... If you allow this play fighting behavior.., the cat may forget their own strength.., and hurt you...
Again.., the cat is not showing you who is boss.., unless the cat is drawing blood and lock jawing you.., remember when a cat bites it locks on hard.., they are merely play fighting... To stop this behavior.., simply bring your hand closer to your body and firmly say "NO" to your feline... Cat's understand pitches not words...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
it is a sign of power. the cat is showing you who's boss. the way to get the cat to stop is to not move your hand, or whatever it bit, when it does it. when someone quickly moves their hand away it is showing the cat that they are in control. even though it may hurt, the way to teach your cat to stop is to not pull back when it does it so that it knows you are the toughest one. you could also keep a spray bottle handy and give a quick squirt every time it tries to bite.
