Cat Health

She could have bad teeth. Does she seem in pain when she eats? Is she off her food?

Another possibility is she could have a kidney problem. A cat of mine had bad breath and sores in his mouth and the problem turned out to be his kidneys. I would take her to the vet to put your mind at rest. Loss of weight could also be worms.

I believe so, but it would be hard because cats need their whiskers to feel how big a space is and if they can get through it. cat whiskers are the same width of the cats body, so I'm guessing they do grow to mach the cats body width

If your going to buy a new kitten it usually costs more then $100. I f your going to buy an older cat it will probably cost less the $100. If you need shots for the cat it can cost around $200.

It's always best to consult with a veterinarian before giving any medication to a cat. Vitamin C is not typically recommended for treating a cat's cold, as they are usually unable to synthesize it in the same way humans can. Your vet may recommend other treatments or medications to help your cat recover from a cold.

Anise is not toxic to cats. In fact, anise is sometimes used in catnip toys as cats are attracted to the scent. However, it is always a good idea to monitor your cat if they come into contact with unfamiliar plants or herbs to ensure they do not have an adverse reaction.

Your cat may have abcessed anal glands. This is a very simple infection that occurs in dogs and cats all the time and usually costs less than ten dollars to remedy. What's happened is (for whatever reason) something didn't come out right, or your cat sat on something and got a cut, this cut is called a fissure. The fissure closed but it obviously had bacteria in it, and this made the infection inside of the anus and the anal glands themselves. (It is this same type of infection that makes dogs do that ever so famous 'butt-scoot' across carpets, in hope that they can pop it so that it will not irritate anymore.) Don't worry or be afraid. All you need to do is take the cat down to either your local veterinarian or your groomer, and tell them that you would like them to express your cat's anal glands. Your vet/groomer will then bring the cat into the back room, put on a pair of gloves, and put two fingers into your cat's anus and squeeze the infected gland, bursting it, and squeezing out any remains of the infection or the germs/materials that caused it. Your cat's anus will then be rinsed gently, and the cat will be given back to you.

Doesn't matter what species you are, and how fast you age - when you've just been born you haven't had any time to do any aging in anyhow.

Don't know if this will help or not but hear you are...

Your vet would likely refer to cat distemper as feline panleukopenia, which is a highly contagious viral disease that affects cats. It is a serious condition that can be life-threatening, especially for young kittens or unvaccinated cats. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing the disease.

You can like cats, without having one. Sometimes circumstances dictate that is it may not be possible or practical to have a cat, but you still like them, even so.

The smell of a cat's waste depends mostly on the food it is being fed. Believe it or not, a cat's stool should not stink up the room (or whole house)!

A lot of brands of food (particularly low quality foods found on superstore shelves) are packed with corns and grains. This is cheap carbohydrate filler that the food manufacturers use as its a cheaper source of protein than meat is. Cats are strict carnivores, so can only get their nutrients from meat-based protein, not plant-based protein.

Sadly, it is all this carbohydrate filler or even poor quality meat sources in the cat's food is usually the reason for waste to smell so bad. To a cat's digestive system, this is indigestible (cats find it very difficult to digest grains and cereals) and is passed straight through the digestive system - and ends up in the litter box.

Simply put: A cat's litter box will reflect its diet. If you find your cat's stool incredibly smelly and/or runny, it may be ideal to seek out a better brand of food which has plenty of meat in and is free of grains.

For high-quality Cat food there is: Blue Buffalo, Felidae, Weruva, California Natural, Instinct, Prairie, Natural Balance, Eagle Pack, Wellness, EVO, Bozita (the canned stuff is 90+% meat and can be bought from zooplus.co.uk), Applaws (70+% meat and comes in both tinned and dry), HiLife (60% meat), Feline Fayre, to name a few.

it is a territorial behavior. if the cat smells something it doesnt like, or is in a new environment that is unfamiliar to it, it has to "claim" its territory. it is a natural instinct. if you have an old cat, it could have a bladder problem it happens a lot and should be examined by a vet.

It probably wont hurt the cat, but it's not going to be very nutritious or tasty. To keep a cat heathy, it has to eat cat food, or at least somthing more filling than fish food. cats are predators, so they eat meat products.

Cellulose is an insoluble carbohydrate found in plants and plant products. It is the main structural component of plant cell walls and provides structural support to plants. Unlike soluble carbohydrates, such as starch, cellulose cannot be broken down by human digestive enzymes.

There are many reasons,

1. Cats shed - they lose and replace their fur twice a year in large amounts.

2. Kitty may have fleas, fleas will make the kitty scratch her fur. check her for evidence of fleas.

3. Kitty may have worms. if she has worms they will cause her to lick and scratch at her rear end, and base of the tail. Get her in to the vet to see if she has worms.

My cat behavioralist told me my cat's pouch is there for added flexibility and has nothing to do with his weight. He is an orange tabby cat, which she claimed to be a good bird hunting cat and the pouch allows for hyper-extension and assists in jumping. She compared the pouch to the body of a cheetah, who is very lean, but has the same tuff of hair below its belly.

if your kitten just fell from the 3rd floor of a building, i would check around his/her body and but my hand on places and see if she sounds hurt where you touched her/ him. if they do, i would see a vet to have them put something on it

Yes, most likely. Just because the transmission system is going digital, I've seen or heard nothing from the Federal Communications Commission stating that this requirement would be modified or dropped. It's part of the EAN's system, or Emergency Action Notification system and is more critical to have now than ever. Especially with the treats of terrorist attacks, not to mention weather related issues. There's a lot of requirements for being part of the EAN's system and too many to discuss here, but having it is yet another tool we have at our disposal to help protect ourselves in a time of emergency. Personally, I'd hate to see it go away.

# Allow 15 human years for the first year of your cat's life. # Add nine years for the second year. A two-year old cat will approximate 24 human years. # Add four human years each for successive years of his life.

so your cat is 60 years old.

Cat owners do have to pick up their cat's poop, especially when the cat is outdoors. Cat feces can contain parasites and bacteria that are harmful to other animals and the environment. It is important to properly dispose of cat waste to prevent contamination and potential health risks.

This will depend upon many different things such as the temperature outside, the age of the age and her health. You do not want to keep cats outside when it is extremely cold outdoors.

If your kitten is not having bowel movements, vomiting, and losing weight, it could be a sign of a serious issue such as an intestinal blockage, infection, or other underlying health problem. It's essential to take your kitten to a veterinarian promptly for a thorough examination and appropriate treatment. Constipation may be a possibility, but given the severity of the symptoms, it's best not to delay seeking professional help.

In English, we don't have grammatical gender like some other languages, such as Spanish or German. So, we don't use the term "neuter" to describe nouns or pronouns. If you have a specific question about a word or concept, feel free to ask for clarification.

Normal cat's temperature is between 100.5 and 102.5. So your cat has a fever and it may need a trip to the vet but it isn't as serious as a human with such a high temperature. 105 is beginning to get dangerous and a vet should be consulted.

Is your cat a SPAYED female ? If she is, it's most likely the well known 'ponch' that occurs after spaying - she'll have it for life and it's not a medical problem - It's like a flabby area of loose skin at the bottom of the tummy, seen best when she's standing on all fours. If your cat is not a spayed female, and you've recently noticed this 'empty sack' on the belly of your cat, then it's sounds like a visit to the vet is in order. Good luck with your kitty !

They usually start between four months and nine months of age. Heat cycles will continue all her life until you spay her. A cat is usually in heat for a week or two, and will start again every two to three weeks. They should be spayed or neutered for their own health, usually before their first season.
