Once my mother confronted me about doing something wrong and told me i was going to get a spanking she'd grab me by the back of my shirt with one hand and the waist band of my pants with the other hand and would walk me up to my bedroom. Once there she'd sit on the edge of the bed then ordered me to remove my pants and underwear and leave them on the floor. I would always turn around and face the other direction when doing this and cover my privates with my hands. Then i would position myself across her lap with my head to her left and kind of behind her. My upper body would be laying on the bed with my waist over her left leg and she would then take her right leg and wrap it around the back of my legs to lock me into position so i couldn't kick or get up. My feet were still on the floor. She would then use her left arm and/or hand to hold my torso down on the bed and proceed to spank me with her right hand. She would spank until her hand was too sore to continue, which could last up to 4-5 minutes long and maybe over a hundred plus slaps across my buttocks. She is a very strong person! Then when it was over she'd let me up and she would leave me alone to get dressed and compose myself before returning a few minutes later to talk things out. That was called a cooling off period for both of us. I am a guy and i was 15 when i received my last spanking.
What does it mean when you dream of a cat as your pet?
A cat in a dream, during ancient times was known as a message that the end is coming soon (pretty much an awakening to all bad deeds a person has done). A cat also can mean that a strange relation is forming between the wife and her kids, or it can mean withdrawal, stealing, having sexual intercourse before marriage, not being faithfull to somebody, gossiping. A cat can also be about a person who has never met their father, and is curious to do so. A cat also means an unpleasant person is in your life who is acting like such a good friend but in reality is very harmfull to you and is full of jealousy and if they had the chance to ruin your life, they will.
Watershed means a time or event that marks a change of course, a division. It's a turning point. So a watershed year is when something major happened to change the course of things. For example 2001 is a watershed year as things changed drastically when the US was attacked on their own soil fir the first time in 60 years, and it changed the way we handle national security, travel, privacy and our civil rights.
Another example is the 1960s: a watershed decade for civil rights.
How do you know how long a cat has been pregnant?
She's probably going to start looking for a nice warm dark place (she'll try your closet) and start a "nest", meaning she will make it comfortable with anything she might like, from paper and cardboard to sheets and blankets.
Why do male cats eat male kittens?
Not immediately. There is nothing in dog food that will hurt a cat. However, there are nutrients necessary for cats that are not present in dog food, so a cat that eats nothing but dog food will suffer nutritional deficiencies after a while.
Well most street cats are REALLY hungry and will eat almost anything! But for their health this is what I would recommend:
1- If you have a cat you could give it some of your cat food.
2- Any kind of meat, cooked or raw. Be sure there is no seasoning on the meat.
3- Water.
Do not give cats milk (can make cats sick, plus milk goes off very quickly), bread or cooked bones.
Do female cats calm down after being fixed?
yes female start to calm down when you get her fixed but if you have a male to you should get him fixed to or the female won't settle down that easily
It's my cats first litter how many kittens can i expect?
It is impossible to know how many kittens a cat will have without a vet exam. How old is the cat? Is it indoor or outdoor only? I have seen a 6 month old kitten give birth to a single kitten and abandon it. I have seen a 1 year old cat give birth to 4 kittens. Some have as many as 11 kittens. Also some breeds have larger or smaller litters. There is a lot to consider.
All this is true, but on average a cat will have 1-8 kittens in a litter.
What if the fur on a cat's tail was stripped by an accident?
Your cat's tail would be bald.
It would depend on the type of accident as to whether the fur would grow back. If the hair follicles were damaged, then the fur probably wouldn't grow back. But if your cat was in anyaccident, you should take it to the vet.
Can cats and dogs drink water out of the same bowl?
Hi there. I have 3 indoor cats, 2 females and 1 male. They share a water bowl but do not like to share food with each other. Depending on how many cats you have, get the appropriate number of food and water bowls to feed them with, if they decide to share 1 bowl, take the other(s) away. Most cat behaviours vary depending on the sex, age, breed, and basic personality of each feline, making it almost impossible to determine whether or not 1 cat will do what another will. The best way to figure out if your cats will share food and water is to try it.
If your cat has FIV Can you catch it?
FIV in cats is Feline Immunodeficiancy Virus. It's similar to HIV in humans but it's important to note that FIV is NOT transmissable to humans! It can, however, be transmitted to other cats via bites.
From the site www.animalhealthchannel.com/fiv
"Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) causes an infectious disease in domestic cats and cheetahs similar to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV infection) in humans.It attacks and weakens the body's immune system, making the animal susceptible to infections and diseases that don't usually affect healthy cats. There is no cure for FIV, and the use of vaccines to prevent infection is somewhat controversial.
FIV is a lentivirus, a virus that causes slowly developing disease. Though eventually fatal, an FIV-positive cat can live for many years without any signs of illness.
Prevalence
FIV occurs worldwide and its prevalence varies geographically. About 1.5% to 3% of cats in the United States are infected with FIV. About 5% of FIV-positive cats also have feline leukemia virus (FeLV)."
What does it mean when your cat poops in the center of your floor?
It means you need to clean out your kitty-litter box.
If that's not the answer your cat is obviously trying to tell you that you need to change something in your life. Perhaps you have done something strange and out of the ordinary lately that might have ticked your cat off. (Because cats really don't like to break out of their routine.)
And if that's still not the answer your looking for, your cat just doesn't like you.
Sorry.
Why does your female cats belly sag?
Is it her actual stomach, or just some extra long fur on her lower stomach? Her actual belly may sag because she might of recently had some kittens or has gained weight.
However, if these are not the cause, the more common reason for the belly to look like its sagging is the Primordial Pouch. The Belly Pouch, also called Primordial Pouch, Abdominal Fold or Belly Flap is a just a loose fold of skin over the belly area, often covered in long fur. Most domestic cats develop these in adolescence and its completely harmless and normal. It is not necessarily related to a cat being overweight, either.
It is unclear why cats have these folds of skin, but there are several theories:
- It is used to store extra fat and nutrition - similar to when wild animals stock up fat reserves ready for winter and there is little food around.
- Allows extra flexibility when the cat is running, hunting and other activities that require a lot of movement.
- Finally, the extra skin could serve as an extra protective layer around the belly area when fighting.
Is it possible for 2 adult male cats who never lived together get along?
Yes cats can live with other cats but some cats are stubborn and don't like sharing their space. If your cat is a nice one it will probably welcome the new cat just as you do.
It's all about personality. Animals have personalities just as people do. Some are more aggressive and territorial, whereas others are affectionate and quite happy to share their people.
Why does your 14 year old cat have a smelly breath?
Most often, tooth decay and gingivitis. You may need to have your cat's teeth looked at by the vet, and he may have to extract a few. That will help, but not completely.
Unfortunately, the diet available to the normal domestic cat is not conducive to good oral health, and most cats will start to have bad breath after about age 10.
Why does your male cat attack your female cat when there is another cat outside?
Male cats may display aggression towards female cats in response to the presence of an outside cat due to territorial instincts and the urge to defend their home from potential threats. The male cat may perceive the outside cat as a rival encroaching on its territory, leading to aggressive behavior towards the female cat.
Why does your cat sit in front of the refrigerator?
he is always hungry
This is very common. I myself have a cat and observe this behavior quite frequently.
- Your cat will do that if there is a mouse or other animal hiding under there.
- Also, the refrigerator blows warm air, so during the winter your cat might sit in front of there to stay warm.
- The last reason is that your cat might sense the food in the refrigerator, and (whether it is fed or not) will sit in front of the fridge and stare in hopes that there IS food in there.
What does it mean to hallucinate a cat?
to imagine a cat with ur own eyes as though it is actually there in front of you , flesh and bones...when its not. illusions, kinda.
hope that helps.
Yes. Any time any animal goes under for any type of surgery, there is a risk - Not to mention the bone and tendon damage done to the cat because of declawing.
