Cat Behavior

Depending on the size of the lump and the size of the movement. If contact causes pain. These are all factors you need to look at. If pain is felt, a trip to the vet is advised. If no pain, keep a good eye on it and if it gets any bigger, have a vet look at it.

for a baby - no such thing For a toddler - should get 12-14 hours per day for kids age 5+ - should get 10-12 hours per day for teenagers - 12 hours is acceptable (their hormones are changing and new studies show they need more sleep than they are getting now) Adults - personal decision, at least 8 hours, but more than 12 makes you groggy and too much sleep can cause depression (from a chemical imbalance).

I would guess your male cat learned mating behavior before he was neutered. Once a male cat learns gender-typical behavior (marking, mating, etc), he will continue to engage in that behavior even if he is later neutered.

That's just how cats and kittens play. Their fur protects them from the teeth and claws of their playmates, but to our skin biting and scratching can be very painful. Kittens (and cats) play which is practice for when they are older and need to hunt - this "play" hones their balancing, stalking, co-ordination and pouncing skills. Also, it helps sort out social interactions (what is right and what is not) and hierarchy. Cats, unlike dogs, do not have a strict hierarchy but there will always be a "top cat" and a meeker, milder cat, and all sorts of variations in between.

Cats also do this with humans, and if taught correctly they learn not to be so rough with their human carers and grow up to be well behaved cats.

well if your cat peeed in it yes but I think the sand in the litter box isn't poisonus try checking on the label of you have a cat.

Its not poisonus even IF the cat pissed in it. just tastes bad, on that note why the hell do you need to know?

Oh so you have a frisky cat?... dont we all, LOL well see my cat is frisky and LOVES getting into trouble so what I do is leave him alone and not give him attention only when he is out of control like the one time he was on the ceiling LOL well once your ignore him he will get bored and settle I hope youfound this helpful:]

Well, there are places where you can get your kitten neutered for cheap. They are basically like chop-shops -- they don't provide any regular veterinary care. They just do spaying/neutering. Your local ASPCA, Humane Society, or AC&C (Animal Care & Control) can refer you to one.

But your kitten is going to need lifetime care from a qualified, reputable veterinarian. When you get a new kitten, you are supposed to bring him in for an initial checkup and shots, and then he will need a regular checkup and shots every year from then on.

So, since you're going to need a real vet anyway, if you can afford it, you should definitely get your kitten neutered at an established veterinary clinic/hospital -- not a spay/neuter chop-shop. I have heard some horror stories about those places, about the shoddy work they sometimes do, that results in newly-spayed female kittens' sutures oozing or opening up and the like. Neutering is, of course, a much less complicated procedure than spaying, so since you have a boy cat, the chances of them messing it up are much lower.

But still...the bottom line is that you get what you pay for. Having your kitten neutered at an established veterinary clinic might be more expensive, but chances are they're going to do it properly. Whereas if you have your kitten neutered for a bargain-basement price...well, chances are you're going to get bargain-basement results.

If you Google "find a veterinarian," you will find quite a few websites that will help you find one in your area. I have included links to five of them.

K follow these steps from the vet...

1. every time you catch him going potty in his litter box give him a treat and say "good boy!" in a high pitched tone.

2.if that does not work when he does go to the bathroom not in the litter box place him in it and don't let him come out till he goes to the bathroom.

3. also another tip is to only have one word if you would like for him to go potty in the litter box. Such as "go potty" or "bathroom" or "litter box" don't say all of them because he can't catch on .

The estrous cycle in felines varies and is dependent on several factors. These factors include the cat's age and weight during the months between February and September. This time period is often referred to as the mating season when the amount of daylight is greater. In order for a successful mating to occur the female must have adequate fat stores in order to carry a litter to term which averages 65 days in most breeds. Short-haired breeds often experience their first heat cycle as early as six-months of age. Long-haired breeds most often experience their first cycle much later, at 12-13 months. This is a general guideline and variations have been widely recorded. On average, a 12-month-old female has physically developed enough to safely carry a litter to term. Breed characteristics must also be considered when determining breeding age. For example, the head of a Persian kitten is quite large and may endanger the health of both a young or small Queen and the kitten. The delay of breeding to allow a Queen to cycle multiple times before breeding has associated physical consequences as well. A disease called pyrometra is a possible condition of delayed breeding when the uterus and ovaries fill with poisonous pus. The only cure is an immediate spay where the uterus and ovaries are removed before they rupture and threaten the life of the Queen. Unless the breeder is involved in an organized breeding program and is able to place all the offspring into loving and caring homes, all cats should be spayed or neutered before they reach eight months of age.

Yes you can. As long as your cat is able to stand up and turn around in it, then it is large enough plus the fact that kitties can fit into very tight quarters. Just make sure the door is safely shut and latched after you put your cat in there.

The best family cat really depends on your family's lifestyle and the personality of the cat. It is best to look at cats at animal shelters to see which one fits your or your family's personality and way of life. Breed doesn't really depict what sort of personality a cat has, although some breeds are better suited to family life than others, such as the Maine Coon, who is often described as a very patient, gentle breed that is very good with children.

Most wild and domesticated cats nap or sleep during the day. They do this to conserve energy in hot climates. Housecats continue this behavior from their wild cat ancestors. When awake, they eat, drink, use the litter box, and play. But whether big or small, wild or domesticated, cats are most active at night.

Feed the Queen as much as she wants. A pregnant cats needs a vast amount of food in order to keep her and her unborn litter healthy. This is not the time to limit her food to a set amount.

Pregnant cats need far more nutrition than an average cat, so premium quality food with a very high (60%+) meat content, the better. Switching a pregnant cat onto a better food is strongly recommended as higher quality food has more nutrients (such as more protein) than lower quality foods. It is advised to keep feeding the queen this until the kittens are weaned off the mother's milk. It is ideal to feed her as much as she wants at this time.

As for brands, look for foods that are high in meat (listed as Chicken, Turkey, Fish etc), while keeping away from by-products and "meat meals". Grains, corn, wheat glutens, food colourings and additives should also be avoided. Canned food which is high in meat and free in grains are much easier to find than dry food with the same specifications.

Could be due to the cat's age, whether it is an indoor/outdoor cat, wanting to play with you, but most often it is because the cat is exercising and honing its skills (jumping, prowling, pouncing, etc.).

It will take no longer for a cat to warm up if he has been outside all winter, than it would if he were outside only for an hour or so. In fact, it may take less time, because he will have become acclimated to the cold, and may find the warmth excessive indoors.

Leptotyphlops carlae only grows to a length of about 4 inches or 10 centimeters.

Cats can easily ingest substances that are not good for them and this includes dropped pills. If your cat has eaten a sleeping pill, contact your poison control hotline or your veterinarian immediately for advice.

Cats can get pregnant as early as six months. It's not good for them to reproduce early.

Likewise, male cats can be viable early. Both sexes are prone to mature early when they suffered deprivation as kittens.

Don't dawdle about getting any cat neutered or spayed because of their age. Thinking the cat will be fixed before kittens arrive is how we have so many kittens without homes.

If you can see it sits ribs when its walking. However, the best way of checking is to feel the cat's side, or the back of the head. If the bones are prominent (especially at the back of the head), it is likely the cat is underweight.

If you are unsure, it is best to take it to a vet who can check the cat over and give you a decisive answer.

When a kitten is born it is totally dependent on the mother cat. At birth kittens eyes are closed and can't see for about 2 weeks. The purring of the mother cat attracts the kittens to the mother for comfort and nourishment. The mother cat normally will stay with the kittens for about 3 weeks except for going food and going to potty.

Shortly after birth the mother cat will check to see if the kitten moves inside of the sac. If it moves she then opens the sac by licking it with her tongue. Then she will clean the kitten. During this process she will cut the umbilical cord with her teeth and eat the after birth (placenta).
