Why does my sister trap the cat in the bathroom with her when she goes to the loo and could this pose a physical or mental threat towards my cats health?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your sister may be bringing the cat into the bathroom for company or security. As long as the bathroom is safe and there are no harmful substances or hazards, it should not pose a physical threat to the cat's health. However, being confined in a small space could potentially cause stress or anxiety in the cat, so it's important to ensure the cat has a choice to leave if it wants to.

What household food can you feed kittens?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the kitten has already weaned off milk, they can eat soft baby food like products, although be sure none of these have onion or garlic in them. They do best with things like plain chicken. Do not feed them vegetables or products containing vegetables, or cow's milk. If they still need milk, talk to a veterinarian about buying bottles of cat milk formula.

Please note that human foods (unless you wish to feed your kitten a raw diet - which requires a lot of research) should never be substituted for a complete and balanced cat food.

Can i give cat tums?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Preferrably not - cats do not get stomach aches from excessive stomach acid like humans do. You could make your cat very ill if you gave it Tums.

May cat has never told me the cause of her stomach aches, no matter how many times I ask her. Cats do vomit bile, and antacids can be used for temporary relief. You don't give them peptobismol, but you can give them tums regular formula. Avoid antacids with magnesium, like tums smoothies. If it persists and can no longer be considered acute, have your cat checked by their vet.
