Cat Health

If the cats are yours and they are well feed by you then the lady has no right to feed them and if something should happen to one of them like if one of them got sick after being fed by her you could take her to court possibly.

IMPROVEMENT:: If your neighbor comes on to your property and feeds your cats or throws food on to your property to feed your cats then it is illegal...HOWEVER

If your neighbor just puts out food on her own property and your cats venture over on her property to eat it then it is not illegal and there is noting you can do except keep your animals confined to your own property..

If you suspect your cat has ingested a poisonous plant, contact your veterinarian immediately or the Animal Poison Control Center. Do not induce vomiting without professional guidance as it can worsen certain poisonings. Keep the plant in question away from your cat and monitor her for any signs of poisoning such as vomiting, lethargy, or drooling.

It's the reflection of the light off of the rods in the back of the eye. Humans have the same rods, they just do not have as many, which doesn't allow for the reflection. And due to the reflection of the light, the cat is able to see in the dark.

Spaying can sometimes reduce aggressive or territorial behavior in female cats, but it is not a guarantee that it will change their temperament. Other factors such as socialization, diet, and environment can also influence a cat's behavior. It's important to consult with a veterinarian or animal behaviorist for advice on managing your cat's temperament.

Our cat was having this problem and we discovered it was caused by her drinking milk. We have been very careful to make sure she doesn't sneak any from cups or bowls. She hasn't had the problem since we completely removed the milk from her diet.

A cat is considered a senior at 7+ years of age.

No.

I assume that you're worried about the risks of toxoplasmosis, which is only a risk if you're letting your cat eat raw meat and your wife handles the cat feces directly. More people in the western world get the parasite from handling/consuming uncooked meat, so you should be more concerned about letting your wife handle the steak.

There's so much fear mongering about pets and pregnancy. Your cat is a part of the family too, I hope that you seriously weren't considering "getting rid" of a family member without doing your homework first. While parasites are fun to talk about, be more concerned about proper exercise and diet.

Read more info on toxoplasmosis at the CDC.gov website.

good luck with the new little one!

Cats may attack their own tails due to boredom, curiosity, or frustration. It could also be a way for them to release excess energy or to satisfy their hunting instincts. If this behavior becomes excessive or leads to injuries, it's best to consult with a veterinarian or animal behaviorist.

I'm not sure where you can find that specific Whiskas advert from the early to mid-1990s online. You may have some luck searching on video sharing platforms like YouTube or contacting Whiskas directly to inquire about their historical ad archives.

Himalayan cats typically live between 12 to 14 years on average, but some can live into their late teens with proper care and a healthy lifestyle. Regular veterinary check-ups, a balanced diet, and a stimulating environment can help increase their lifespan.

If they are in an area that they might get into things that could be harmful to them, then yes. Otherwise, no.

If they are in an area that nothing will harm them, and their mother is with them, they do not need constant supervision.

That can be very, very serious. Actually, it can be deadly. One of my parents' cats has this problem constantly, and he has to take medication daily for it. For some reason, his bowels just get chronically blocked, and he can't poop. And like I said, this can be deadly.

So, you MUST take the cat to the vet. If it has been more than a few days -- like 3 days -- since the cat has pooped, then I would consider taking him to an animal emergency hospital immediately. Or at the very least, get a vet appointment within the next 24 to 48 hours. If you can't get the cat to the vet in less than 48 hours, then I would take him to a pet emergency hospital.

If you don't have a vet, or don't know of any animal emergency hospitals, then see the Related Links below.

An ear infection, most likley.

Any swelling can be a sign of infection. Check to see if it feels hot, and observe whether it seems to be bothering the cat. If so, you need to see a veterinarian or an animal clinic.

If the swelling remains after a few days, you should in any case get qualified medical assistance for your cat.

At this rate, it took 2 people 24 minutes to feed 18 cats, which means each person took 48 minutes to feed 18 cats individually. If 3 people were to feed 18 cats, it would take them 48/3 = 16 minutes to feed all the cats.

Yes it depends on the type of flower though. Flowers can be toxic to cats especially Lilies. It will take a couple days for your cat to actually get sick. (if they do get sick from eating the flower, not all cats get sick from them but most do.) If your cat is sick take him/her to the vet as soon as possible for the cat could get kidney or liver failure.

Yes, African violets are considered non-toxic to cats. However, ingesting large amounts may still cause mild gastrointestinal upset. It's always best to keep all houseplants out of reach from pets to prevent any accidental ingestion.

Typically female cats will either hide or look for some place where they feel safe, and may purr out of pain. It is very important not to intervene, because it may interrupt labor, it is possible for cats to give birth to a couple of cubs and hold another(s) for up to a day, until they feel safe again.

I am sure there are more clynical descriptions

Yes, in fact vets will recommend pedialyte be given to cats that are in danger of dehydration, or that are having trouble eating.

Be sure to use the unflavoured variety, they won't likely drink it if it is fruit flavoured.

It really depends on the age of the kitten. If the kitten is eight weeks it should probably eat about three wet meals unless it is fully weaned. At that point about four small meals of dryfood is okay but wet food is much better for health anyway. If the kitten is about six weeks it is at the weaning period and may require five meals of wet food. If the kitten is three weeks then it will probably be drinking about three to five meals of milk a day. if it is one week or younger it will drink about one meal of milk every two hours give or take.

There is no such thing as FiB in cats but, there is FiV which is a virus that eventually causes immune deficiencies. FiP is a viral disease that is almost always fatal and it is caused by certain strains of the Feline Coronavirus virus.

No, it is best you keep the kitten inside until it is old enough to survive the winter.

It depends on what you call winter. If it is a New England winter, definitely no kittens will survive outside. No cats should be left outside in the winter. If it's too cold for you then it is too cold for a cat or a dog. Other animals that do live outdoors year round have coping means, They have extremely thick fur, they can reduce their heart rate, they can have stored blubber, they hiberate, they dig deep holes below the frost line, or they find a some shelter out of the worst of the weather. But domestic pets DO NOT belong outdoors in the winter, they haven't adapted to freezing temps., they don't know how to hunt / gather food and the wild animals in survival mode & are territorial and will likely protect their food area by fighting your poor pampered pet to the death. There are organizations out there that will take in stray/feral cats. Google feral cat organizations & your town / state, or call your local SPCA for advice. But please don't allow domestic pets to suffer.

Cats can get pregnant with their first heat, which is typically at about 6 months of age. However, some cats (they're still kittens themselves, actually) can go into heat before 6 months old.

Feline kittens have 26 deciduous teeth, and adult cats have 30 permanent teeth - 12 incisors, 10 premolars, 4 canines, and 4 molars.

Most of the teeth in a cat are very small and you can only see them if you look very close.

Kittens have baby teeth, which usually appear at 2 to 3 weeks of age and are replaced by permanent teeth around the age of 7 months.
