If you don't have any cat food what should you give your kitten?
If you don't have cat food available, you can feed your kitten boiled chicken or fish as a temporary substitute. Make sure to remove any bones, seasonings, or sauces before serving. It's important to get proper cat food as soon as possible to ensure your kitten receives all the necessary nutrients for optimal growth and health.
The cat poos on the floor what would you do if it poos in your bed?
Step one is to make sure the litter box is kept immaculately clean (cleaned at least once per day for a single cat). Most toileting problems with cats are due to them feeling their litter boxes are not sufficiently clean.
Step two, assuming the box is clean, is to take the cat to the vet to make sure there isn't a medical problem, such as a urinary tract infection or crystals in the urine. These issues can be life-threatening for the cat so should be addressed immediately.
Step three is to thoroughly clean the affected area so that once the cause of the problem is fixed it won't reoccur just because your bed smells like a litter box. It's also to make things more comfortable for you, of course. Strip the bed and wash all the bedding using first an enzyme product such as "Nature's Miracle" and then again with a little Pinesol in the wash cycle. Apply a plastic mattress cover before putting sheets back on.
Regular cleaners won't totally remove all traces of the urine and feces. That's why you need an enzyme product specially made to break down the urine and feces on a molecular level. Even if you can't smell the residue, your cat can. You can use a black light to help find urine spots and to check whether you've gotten them cleaned up.

Answer:
There are many human foods that are toxic to a cat:
Chocolate - Can affect the heart and nervous system causing excitement / nervousness / trembling, vomiting / diarrhoea, seizures, muscle spasms, coma and death.
Caffeine - Can affect the heart and nervous system and causes the same or similar symptoms as chocolate.
Alcohol - Giving a cat alcohol repeatedly (or a lot of) will cause liver damage, breathing difficulties, coma and even death.
Garlic (any form) - Can damage red blood cells and lead to anemia.
Onion (any form) - Can damage red blood cells and lead to anemia. Onions are more toxic than garlic.
Tomatoes (all aspects of the fruit and plant) - Can cause the digestive, nervous, and urinary systems, but mostly causes severe digestive upset.
Potatoes (Raw and plant) - Can cause the digestive, nervous, and urinary systems, but mostly causes severe digestive upset.
Mushrooms - Some species of mushroom are highly dangerous as the can cause shock and even death.
Grapes and Raisins - It is unknown why these are toxic, but even a tiny amount can severely damage the kidneys.
Macadamia Nuts - Can cause gastrointestinal upsets, lethargy, vomiting and muscle tremors or stiffness.
Foods that are potentially harmful:
Liver (in large amounts) - A small bit of raw liver on occasion is very beneficial to a cat.
COOKED bones and fish bones (including raw and cooked) - Cooked bones are very hard and brittle and will splinter which can cause obstruction or laceration in the digestive system. Raw bones are much safer as they are soft and do not splinter.
Dog Food - Dog food is vastly different to cat food so doesn't have the added Vitamins and Fatty Acids cats need, such as Taurine.
Foods high in Salt and Sugar - Too much of both can harm your cat's health (sugar can cause obesity and diabetes and salt will cause a chemical imbalance, as well as dehydration).
Milk - Cow's milk, despite popular belief, is not tolerated by many cats as many are lactose intolerant. An adult cat gets no nutrition from any sort of milk, but specially formulated cat or kitten milk can be used as an occasional treat.
Answer:
Chocolate is poison to both cats and dogs. As far as I know it's only the pure unaltered chocolate used in baking and such that's harmful, but if you're not sure, don't let them eat it. It is best to keep them away from chocolate altogether.
Yes, cats can eat ripe paw paw in moderation as it is not toxic to them. However, it should not be a regular part of their diet as their primary food source should come from cat food that meets their nutritional needs. Always consult with a veterinarian before introducing new foods to your cat's diet.
Why are Tom Cats are still after your spayed female cat?
Tom cats may still be attracted to spayed female cats because they may still emit pheromones that attract males. Additionally, the behavior of tom cats is influenced by instinct and territory marking, so they may still try to pursue and mate with a female cat even if she is spayed. Keeping your female cat indoors and providing a safe and secure environment can help prevent encounters with tom cats.

once a male cat starts to spray it is possible that he will continue to do so after neutering. Early neutering is always recommended if you do not intend to breed from a boy (in the case of pedigrees). Responsible moggie owners will also have their boys neutered to ensure he cannot impregnate ad hoc. Most vets recommend neutering at 6 months if all is well. Check with your vet to be safe to take each cats health into account.

Cats can be neutered as early as when they first reach 2 pounds. It's recommended to wait until they are at least 3 months old. 4-5 months is the best age. You may not wish to wait until after 5 months. Once a cat reaches sexual maturity it can begin developing problematic behaviors such as spraying, marking, and aggressive tendencies. Neutering early will help these behaviors to not develop.
Both male and female kittens can be spayed as early as 10-12 weeks of age, although this varies somewhat from vet to vet; some vets prefer to perform the spay procedure when the kitten is older and stronger; around 3 or 4 months old. Cats usually reach sexual maturity around six months old and some even younger at four months, so it is best to spay kittens before that age.
Kittens need to be neutered much earlier than six months. Many vets will now neuter kittens from 10-12 weeks old as the procedure is very quick and young kittens recover much faster than an adult would. Kittens reach sexual maturity at around six months of age, however some kittens can mature as young as four months old. Neutering is best before they reach this stage.
Your kitten generally has to be at least three months old and/or three pounds. Your vet will generally decide what time is best for your specific kitten, but remember: the longer you wait the more painful the recovery for your kitten! So don't wait to neuter them when their a year old!
A year is way too long to wait! It can be done when the kitten is 3 pounds, around 10 weeks. Call your local vet.
Shelters will neuter kittens when they are quite young and before putting them up for adoption (around 8 weeks old). Most vets recommend neutering before a kitten reaches sexual maturity which is around 6 months old. Some vets will neuter around this time, although more and more vets will recommend neutering much earlier.

What does it mean when a cat sprays?
When a cat sprays, it typically marks its territory by releasing a small amount of urine onto vertical surfaces. It is a natural behavior for cats, especially unneutered males, to communicate with other cats or assert dominance. It can also be a sign of stress or anxiety.
How far does a cat travel from their home?
I've read true articles where cats will travel many miles to get home. When I divorced my first husband I couldn't keep my cat so gave it to my brother and sister-in-law. My cat traveled over 20 miles to get back to our old basement suite. The lady and her daughter that lived there phoned and ask me if she could keep the cat as her daughter was very attached to it. I was very relieved the cat was fine and both he and the little girl were happy.
How do you get kittens to sleep alone?
To help a kitten sleep alone, provide a cozy and warm sleeping area such as a soft bed or blanket. Establish a bedtime routine to help them feel secure and comfortable, such as playing with them before bed to tire them out. Gradually transition them to sleeping alone by spending time with them in their sleeping area until they become accustomed to it.
Why do kittens spit when they want to play with you?
They are just babies and they are still getting used to the world around them. Everything is new to them, and sometimes while they are playing something can suddenly seem scary. Or they are just trying to be 'fierce scary kittens ;) ' and its their way of trying things out, playing, and testing what they are able to do and how others react to it.

Can cats listen to what you're saying?
They can hear you, provided they are not deaf, but getting them to listen is another story. It's really up to the cat if they want to listen to you or not.
Do male cats recognize their offspring as their own?
Yes. Both male and female cats care for their litter for awhile before they are old enough to go off on their own. Although the males don't usually feed the kittens, they will guard they and their mother from danger.
However, when the litter grows up and moves away, both mother and father will go off alone, and quite possibly never see each other again. If they do meet again, they will not reconize each other or their own kittens.
Yes, but it may be ideal to help with the feeding using a kitten formula and bottles supplied by a vet. Mother cats have 6 nipples, so feeding 9 kittens without help could be very challenging for her.
