Cats are obligate carnivores. That is a fancy term for 'is only supposed to consume meat'. Cats come originally from an arid climate in a part of Africa. They developed as a species in such a way as to get most of their required water from their meals- one stop feeding and drinking whenever the bird or rodent became dinner. Wet food from a (high quality) can is pretty close to what they are already predisposed to need as well as want in a meal. Dry food from the average grocery is extremely high in carbohydrates and vegetable matter. Both of those are not good for obligate carnivores that spend most of their days sleeping and occasionally chasing a toy around the floor for a few minutes. They need high-protein diets, much like what they would find in the wild. The ideal solution for a (domestic) cat is to feed it high-protein quality food. For dry types, usually this costs around $12 - $18 per 8 pound bag, and for wet around 75 cents to a $1.00 per 6 ounce can in the Eastern United States outside of really large cities like New York.

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.

Salt that is put out to kill slugs is not likely to be harmful to cats, unless it also has poison in it. A cat would have to eat a lot of salt to get sick from it. Some cats may taste it but they'll usually leave it alone. If you have a cat that seems to be eating the salt, keep the cat inside where it can't reach it.

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.

Street cats are typically opportunistic scavengers and will eat a variety of things such as small animals, insects, scraps of food from trash cans, and sometimes people may leave out food or water for them. They are very adaptable in finding sources of food in their environment.

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.

A cat's arm, or forelimb, is used for activities such as hunting, grooming, climbing, and balance. It allows the cat to move swiftly and with agility, grabbing prey or navigating its environment with precision. The arm also provides the cat with a means to communicate through body language, such as stretching or pawing at objects.

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.

If your cat is only experiencing occasional sneezing with a small amount of blood in the mucus and is otherwise behaving normally, it could be due to a minor irritation. Keep an eye on him and if the symptom persists or worsens, it's best to consult a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Nasal discharge with blood can sometimes indicate more serious issues like infections or foreign bodies.

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.

See a vet. If that is out of your price range, gently washing the cats eye with baby shampoo should work. Watch those claws. If you can put the cat into a cloth bag with only the head poking out....you get the idea. Trust me, the best thing you can do for your cat is to take him/her to the veterinarian. My kitten had the same thing, and the more I waited around, the worse it got. Call your vet and he'll prescribe this special ointment for cats and in a few weeks, my kitten's eye infection was gone and she wasn't meowing loudly anymore because of the pain. My kitten can also see better because she was always squinting her eyes for the pain. For now, all you can do is clean under her eyes where it was dark with a cotton swab or cotton ball. Just add some water to the swab and rub it gently under her eyes and try to clean it. Be careful as you don't want to hurt her!! I wish the best for your cat, and you!!
