Cat Behavior

Cats do not always sit with their back to you. It depends on the cat's personality, some will sit and stare at you while others face the other way.

If a cat would eat starfish, it may kill him. As for a starfish attacking a cat and killing him, it would not happen.

Male cats not neutered 'spray' their territory with urine (usually all around your house), and act more 'manly' around female cats. They can also become aggressive to other cats and to humans.

Don't feed your cat any human food/drink until a vet says it ok.

Vets usually recommend 4 1/2 to 5 months, the Humane Society and Animal Control will do it much earlier (8wks) in order to get them adopted sooner. Most veterinarians do not recommend doing it that early though.
In the United States, most veterinarians advocate neutering your male cat at about 4 months of age. However, a veterinarian experienced with performing surgery for a shelter can neuter a kitten down to about 2 months of age with no worries about surgical complications - the minimum weight is about 2 pounds for surgery.
I am not completely sure, but i think it should be before he reaches 6 months old.

Normally because they are involved in some sort of fight. However, there is always more noise than action. Conflicts are preceded by much wailing (and sometimes screeching) in an attempt to warn the other cat off. This can also be accompanied by hissing and spitting and of course, fur standing up (in an attempt to look bigger and therefore, more frightening. There is also much posturing (walking sideways etc). All of this takes a while and often the conflict does not come to blows at all.

Many cats also wail at night because they are in heat. This is usually the case if it is an all night long night after night happening.

Cats that exhibit fearful behavior during thunderstorms or heavy winds will often seek shelter under furniture or in a dark, calm corner. Generally, there isn't much you can do to ease a cat's fears but if the anxiety leads to destructive behavior or spraying, talk to your vet about anti-anxiety medication.

No, because catnip is harmless to cats. Some cats may vomit if they eat catnip leaves, or a large amount of catnip leaves, but that is a normal reaction when cats eat a lot of any plant. Otherwise, catnip will have no negative effects on your cat's health. It should be noted that some cats may react aggressively to catnip rather than happily. This is only because different cats respond in different ways to catnip. If your cat happens to seem angry after exposure to catnip, it does not mean that it has harmed him/her in any way.

To a dog, the mail carrier is some sort of visitor. One that comes every day, yet rarely interacts with anyone in the household. Yet, this visitor has [partial] access to the property (territory). The carrier is allowed to walk right up to the house, even touch its contents or mail slot. The visitor also does not address the dog--at least not usually by name. All the time this visitor brings foreign items as well as scents from other houses, animals, others' mail, and so on. All of these things make the dog feel very imposed upon and confused. If I was a dog I would be very tormented by this.

No, not on a general basis if the owner makes sure the cat's shots are up to date and is well fed along with water and has a physical by the vet once a year. The only problem would be allergies and sometimes ring worm. If rabies shots are not given and your cat is outside there is a possibility of the cat contracting rabies, but it's rarer than you think. I've had cats almost all my life (even a few that came to my parents house for a hand out and not once did my brother and I ever suffer from a harmful disease.

Cats can be delicate things, and need looking after.

Adult cats are fine with being fed twice a day. Some owners leave out a little dry food throughout the day. Fresh water always needs to be available.

Give them a basket with a comfy cushion so they can sleep well at night, or find out where your cat prefers to sleep and line that with blankets.

Find out if your cat is a long-hair or a short-hair. Long hairs need combing once every 2 days. Short hairs are once a week.

Litterboxes should be in quiet areas of the house. Cats like their privacy when toileting, so putting the tray where there isn't much household activity will help the cat feel safe.

If your cats tail is moving wildly then do not touch the cat, it might scratch and bite, and believe me, it hurts. Ensure that the cat has somewhere where it can go if it wants to be alone. Cats like to have "safe" places where they can hide if they are scared by something. Leave the cat alone until it feels it is safe enough to come out.

No; they sleep eighteen hours a day. I know this because I have four cats so yeah.

Gold fish. Joke. WOlfs howl at the moon

All animals can potentially get high or drunk. If you mean high as in stoned, any oxygen breathing thing can suffer the affects of any drug if inhaled. Giving your cat marijuana or any illegal drug is NOT safe for them. You could give them an accidental overdose and kill them. DON'T DO IT.

You cannot overdose on marijuana. It's not plausible nor possible. Cats can't either.

By the way, it is IMPOSSIBLE to overdose off of marijuana.

Some animals cannot get high, Like some humans to certain things some people cannot get high or for instance My body doesn't work with certain over the counter drugs.

Also if you plan to get your pets high make sure they are up to a certain age and you don't give them to much because you can make them stupid. It can be fun and sometimes help your pet just don't be stupid and give your cat like 6 hits or a kitten Any until at least 3 months of age even then take it very slow with them.

You simply: If it is an outdoor cat- Take it to the door and smudge butter on your hand and then on the cats paws, and let it out. Please be aware that the cat will walk funny with butter on their feet. If it is an indoor cat- Put butter on their feet and leave them near the door or i9n a carrier outside for 3-5 minutes. And then take it back in and wipe off the butter.

Yes. Based on my experience, kittens can and will nurse from a dog. Introduce the kitten slowly to the dog. Allow the dog to sniff and lick the kitten. Then, place the kitten on the breast of the nursing mother dog. I'm not sure if the dog's milk has all the nutrients required for the kitten to survive on this alone so I would use this method as a supplement. Purchase some kitten replacement milk and a pet feeding bottle from the pet store or vet's office and bottle feed as often as you can.

With my cats we got told that if the cats are moving in and they have never lived with you or in that house before then keep them inside with all doors and windows shut for 2 weeks making sure they have food, water and a cosy place to sleep. However, if they were originally your cats and you're just moving into a new home, 1 week should be fine for them to settle in. I hope that was the answer you were looking for (:

You can try rubbing some catnip on the scratching post to see if that entices your cat to use it. You could also try placing it in the way of where your cat is now scratching to try to redirect him/her. However, not all cats like scratching posts and if your cat doesn't want to use it, he/she won't and there isn't much you can do about it.

Some times there are no symptoms. Some times they may lose weight or appetite. Other times you will see parts of worms or whole worms in the dog's stool.

If you suspect worms at all, or aren't otherwise giving the dog regular medicine for heartworms or other worm infections, take your dog to the vet for an exam and deworming.

Dogs should be dewormed routinely if you live in an area prone to worm infections and/or have children.

Also, almost all dogs should be given a regular flea and heartworm medication (usually monthly).

They will but they can get really bad viruses and other germs from it being so close to the litter box, most cats tend to kick their litter to cover the mess. It should be about 6-10 ft. from the litter box.

New born kittens have a diet that consists only of it's mothers milk, if their mother is unable to feed them there are cat milk subsitutes such as "CatSip" which can be found at practically any store, even Walmart!! Though this is great for weaning the kittens when they reach 6 weeks, it may lack proper vitamins for the younger kittens, in that case you will need to speak with an expert on cat dieting. If u wish to feed a cat younger than 6weeks you will definetly have to learn how to feed it with a baby bottle. Oh and when you wean the kittens when they reach six weeks or so, buy crunchies (such as Whiskas brand kitten chow) and poor cat milk subsitute (that CatSip stuff I mentioned) over it to soften it, the kittens should be good with that... oh, and DONT FORGET TO ALWAYS LEAVE OUT WATER FOR THE BABIES!!!
