What does it mean when a cat eats a lot?

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.

What does a mother cat eat after giving birth?

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).

Why do cats like to play with rope?

Cats love to play with yarn because it's so tactile to them. Also, it's fun, especially when they are young. Because they are kittens, they love to discover new things.

Cats are predators by nature, and they are attracted by movement. The sight of yarn moving tends to awaken the "hunting" instinct in them.

Intact (not neutered) male cats usually disappear for weeks at a time to find a mate. Unspayed female cats in heat will also do anything to escape outside to find a tom cat in order to mate.

What is the difference between a cat spraying and a cat urinating?

Cats urinate through the same mechanisms as most land mammals. They store up urine in the urinary bladder, then when the urinary bladder is full they look for a safe place to urinate at. Typically cats prefer to bury their urine, so they will often look for soft dirt, sand or other absorbent/draining surfaces to urinate on. They posture then relax the sphincters around the urethra to allow urine to flow out, often accompanied by contractions of the urinary bladder to fully empty it out. Once done, the cat will often circle around, sniff the area to see how strong the odor is, then scratch the surrounding surface with their front paws to cover the urine and mask the scent. One exception to this is an intact male cat who is marking his territory - he will often spray urine around at tail height deliberately as a way of warning off rivals.

What happens when a rabbit eats glass?

first answer: Paper is not good for rabbits, especially if it is newspaper. It is the ink on the paper that is poisonous, not the paper itself.

different answer: In North America at least, the ink on newspaper is not poisonous at all. Long, long ago, ink contained lead and other toxic compounds, but that's just not true anymore. Newspapers, city phone books, and other low-grade papers are perfectly safe for your rabbit to eat. See the link below for details.

Don't give your rabbit high-gloss, slick paper, lots of bright colours, bleached white papers, etc. because these could be dangerous and unhealthy. Stick to plain newsprint and cardboard products with few colours.

Remove tape, stapes, labels, etc. from all papers before giving them to your bunny.

What to feed a cat that has no teeth?

You should take the cat to the vet so they can treat it and in the meantime soft food would probably be good.

Why does your cat still spray when he has been neutered?

My guess would be your cat was neutered relatively late in life, after he learned sexual behaviors such as spraying or caterwauling. If a tom cat is neutered prior to learning these behaviors, they tend to not express them. However, once a tom cat has learned these behaviors, even in the absence of testosterone from testicles they will still express the behaviors.

It is also possible that a small portion of testicle was left during the surgery, although this is extremely rare.

Do kittens always remember to always use their litter box?

When first litter training, it is a good idea to place kitty into the litter box after each meal, before bed, and a few more times a day.

If kitty makes a mistake, thoroughly clean the area with disinfectant, and deposit the waste into the litter box, and place kitty there immediately after finding the mistake.

Be sure to clean the litter box every day, since a dirty litter box will deter kitty, and will be hard to cure.

Why does your dog pee only on your stuff?

In all manufactured items, there is a chemical that is released in trace amounts, and is harmless to all humans and imperceptible to most humans. Dogs, however, CAN detect these minute quantities of this chemical, and it has an effect similar to catnip (in that it alters the dog's brain chemistry). This chemical's effect makes the dog think that the item in question is on fire, so they try to put it out by peeing on it.

How does a cat sense a bird's presence?

Mostly by sight. A cat can hear the high pitched flutter of a bird's wings that we can't hear. They smell them. A cat smells 14 times better than a person. A bird to a cat means one thing...It's dinner time.

Do male cats spray that have a queen to breed?

Yes. Spraying is a way of marking territory, and both male and female cats are very territorial. Except when a female is in heat, a male cat considers her no more than another intruder on his hunting grounds, and will spray to mark his turf.

Why does my cat purr a lot?

Why do cats hiss and spit at each other?

When two evenly matched, well armed animals fight, there is a danger that both may be injured. Therefore many such animals have developed a series of ritual postures and sounds that show off their size and intent for aggression before the physical battle starts. Hopefully during this display a weaker animal will recognise the strength of the other and flee before any fight starts.

Why is your cat rubbing her face in your clothes?

I'm not sure, but it is most likely just being friendly with you. Cats do all kinds of crazy cute stuff!

ANSWER

touch is an important thing to cats as it is to humans and many other animals it is a way to express something you feel or think and or to draw attention to them

sometimes they do it to get you to feed them.

they love the love just like we do and sometimes they simply want to be noticed and loved and are asking you to do this.
