How much do cats know?

Of course they do, if they didnt, they wouldn't think to cross the road and get out of the way when a car is coming. x

As mentioned above, cats do in fact think. It may not be to the extent that we do but they still think about things like where to find food, the best places to sleep, wether or not to go after a prey item/animal and even wether or not they want to be friendly or trust us. - Astraea Ann

How old should a kitten be before they can be left alone?

Assuming your kitten is perfectly healthy I would say about 16 weeks. My oldest cat I have now was about that age when I first left her alone for two days. She was in good health, plenty of water and food to eat, we also kept her in the bedroom the entire time. I also have a cat who was on death door at 16 weeks and now because of him even at 2 years old I cannot leave him alone. I would say if you're worried, just have a neighbor or family member check in, hope that helps! #

How do I get my 3 month old kitten to stop biting my fingers?

Kittens bite not to hurt but to play. Kittens, especially those who have come away from their mother too young (6-8 weeks old; the ideal age is 12 weeks old) will play rough. Kittens usually bite when they're playing, trying to get your attention or warning you not to do something. For example if you scratch or rub your cats lower back he or she might bite you to tell you they do not like you doing that or just isn't in the mood for it.

The best things to do is to learn your kitten's behaviour, especially how he or she acts when he or she's about to bite. Refrain from playing with the kitten with your hands and use toys instead.

When your kitten bites, you can either try and distract her attention with a toy, or make your hand or arm completely limp. A kitten will quickly grow bored of unmoving "prey" and will let go. Ignoring the kitten for a few minutes afterwards will also help. Kittens love attention, so a kitten will quickly learn that biting, scratching and other behaviours will get it ignored - so will stop such behaviour.

NEVER hit your cat; this will just make it fearful of you. Cats respond poorly to negative reinforcement.

How do i stop my cat from urinating in my bed?

A better way to go about it, would be to try to catch it in the act. If you see it actively peeing on your bed, immediately give it a harsh tap on the nose or head (do NOT hurt your kitten! It is only meant to be unpleasant); or spritz it with some water if it dislikes that. And then very promptly move it into the litterbox. As with children, the discipline of animals requires punishment for bad behavior.

Until you can get your kitten "house broken" you will never get it to stop wetting your bed. You have to have a litter box put where the kitten can get at it. Keep the kitten in a confined area such as the kitchen with the litter box nearby. As it learns to use the litter box you can gradually introduce it to other rooms of the house.

How long for the wolf mother to carry before birth?

Gray wolves in the wild reach sexual maturity at approximately 2 years of age, and usually have one partner for life. The mating season is in late winter, when the female is in estrus, better known as being "in heat," for about one month. During this time, her and her partner will mate for the most part of this month to ensure that conception occurs. When a female does become pregnant, she will most likely return to her previous birthing den, where she will stay for the majority of the pregnancy. The pregnancy, or gestation period, of a Gray wolf usually lasts any where from 9-11 weeks, an average sized litter being 5-6 pups. However, a wolf may have as many as 11 or more pups in a litter depending on factors such as food abundance.
