Is it possible to walk a cat?

Yes, you can walk cats, but if your cat is an indoor cat, it may become a little wary or skittish once placed in an unfamiliar environment.

Also, if you decide to walk your cat, you have to know cats can wriggle out of a harness if not on properly. So, what you do about that, you get a special cat harness (available from most pet shops) that goes under their arms and goes around their neck. That will work just fine.

When does a cat need to be spayed?

Make sure the kittens are weaned before getting the mother cat spayed. Kittens are usually fully weaned around 8 to 12 weeks old. Some cats can come back into heat during this time, so be sure the mother does not have access outside before she is spayed.

Will a mother cat kill one of her kittens if she knows it has something wrong and it is dying anyway?

No, this will not happen. There are only a few, firmly defined, instances where the mother cat's instincts tell her to abandon or drive away her own kittens.

How a mother cat treats her kittens is a function of what stage her hormones are in following the birth, combined with her environmental cues. If there are conditions of stress. the mother will drive away her kittens as they grow, so they can establish their own hunting territories.

If there is something wrong with one of the kittens, the mother will abandon them so a doomed kitten will not use up resources that will not help them.

Why is your cat all of a sudden bringing you dead birds and mice?

probly because your cat really really likes you,because cats dont like to share their food, except wild cats, but even then they are touchy about it to. if your cats bringing you dead mice and such what, then its a good sign :]

What should you do if a cat attacks you?

Do not crouch, bend or stoop. Your perceived size acts as a factor of intimidation to the attacking animal. Even raising an arm or arms increases the perception of size. (Animals do not recognize the symbol of surrender which is a social and cultural skill.) If a platform of any type is available use it to increase the perception of your own size. Do not take your eyes off of the attacker. ( A sign of submission.) Do not turn your back to the attacker. (A sign of submission.) Do not attempt to run from the attacker. (A sign of submission. It also places your calf muscles in a vulnerable location and they will be essential to carry you to safety after this encounter.)

You are dealing with an over-sized Pussy Cat even if it is a Cougar. Felines do not attack hikers, birdwatchers or campers unless they are (A) rabid, (B) injured and starving or (C) startled and placed on the defensive (protecting their recent kill or their litter).

Your soft abdominal tissue, neck and throat are your most vulnerable areas and require your protection. When first encountered:

1. Face your attacker.

2. Raise your walking stick above shoulder height to enhance your perception of size. No walking stick? Then you must be hunter. Put three rounds into the varmint, preserve the carcass for examination and notify Fish and Wildlife.

3. Not a hunter but still not toting a walking stick? OK, not very smart. But we shall proceed. The non-dominant arm is used to protect your vital organs from attack and if essential to use as a piece of bait or distraction like a Matadors Cape. (See #5.)

4. At the moment of attack visualise kicking a 50 yard field goal to win the Super Bowl and kick that critter's head through the goal posts. The Heavy Duty $300 hiking boots will surely rattle his cage if you catch him in the face, throat, chest or soft underbelly. Even those ratty sneakers you sometimes wear can do some serious damage. If you hadn't forgotten you Walking Stick, a couple of good whacks should have sent it scrambling for the woods.

5. Back to the non-dominant arm. Most Bobcats and few Cougars have room in their mouth to insert a fist or an arm, but go for it and keep on going. While they are dying from the lack of oxygen you can try using your nonexistent walking stick or the Swiss Army knife you left at home to finish them off.

Attacks by wild animals are extremely rare.

Attacks by healthy wild animals are almost nonexistent.

Why do cats like to lay on paper?

If its the newspaper you are reading in the morning, they are probably telling you to pay attention to them and not the paper. I had a cat who would not let you read the paper, would come up and plop right down on it and stare at you.

What cats can purr?

Cats learn to purr from their mothers when they are little and nursing. While the kitten is nursing the mother cat purrs as a comforting sign for the kittens. It also helps them find their mother while their eyes are still closed (first 2 weeks). If the kitten is taken away or abandoned by their mother the kitten may lose its ability to purr. I have a cat that was taken away too soon and it doesn't purr. SAD!

How old does kittens need to be get vaccinations?

What happens if honey gets in your eyes?

You just rush to the tap and wash it off or better yet if you happen to have warm water nearby the better, it makes the honey soften and easy to clean off. Honey is acidic and could give you a pink eye if you don't wash it off immediately. Make sure you use lots of water but don't rub your eyes too hard, just softly to allow it to flow without force (assuming its not a whole jar in your eye).

What do cats like to eat what kind of cat food?

Cats are obligate carnivores. This means the main ingredient of a cat's diet must be meat. Cats cannot synthesise several amino acids such as Taurine, so get all their nutritional needs from raw meat, organs and bone. Without meat, a cat would develop heart, eye and possibly kidney problems; they should not be on a vegetarian diet, or on a diet that has a large amount of grains or cereals.

The best possible foods for a cat is raw meat, bones and organs. However, if this is not possible, then premium brands of cat food are the next best thing as they supply everything a cat needs. Premium brands often have a high named meat content (labelled as Chicken, Turkey, Tuna, etc.) as the first, or first three ingredients. This is the best food you can feed your cat. It is wise to keep away from cheaper cat foods that have grains, corn, cereals and glutens on the Ingredients list - these are used to bulk out the foods and have no nutritional value to a cat whatsoever.

Wet food with these specifications are much easier to find than in dry food.

The amount of moisture in cat food is also very important. Dry food contains no moisture, so is quite dehydrating. Cats are notoriously bad drinkers because they have evolved to get all their needed moisture from their prey (their ancestors were cats that lived in very dry and arid environments where water was hard to come by), so therefore have a low "thirst drive" and will not often seek out water on their own. This is a trait that has been passed down over the thousands of years.

Canned or pouched food has anywhere between 60% to 80% water. Seeing as in the wild a cat's prey is around 65%-75% water, wet and raw food provides a cat with more than enough water each day.

Do spayed cats pee around the house?

There are a couple of answers as to why cats urinate around the house. In no particular order: they mark their territory; especially if another cat lives or has lived in your home. They do it out of protest. If you leave them in the care of someone else and they miss you, you can count on urine spots and possibly even feces. My final answer is you need to change the litter box more frequently. Praise kitty for using it; but keep it well cleaned frequently.

How do cats know who their owner is?

A cat Is never yours but it will bond with you. You can tell if it is bonded with you if it willingly sleeps with you 3 nights in a row.
