How should you treat your kittens eye infection?

How do you remove the odor of cat urine?

The best way to remove cats urine from carpets etc, is biological washing powder diluted with water. If you leave any mark that the cat has urinated in that spot and the scent has faded then the cat will more than likely urinate there again to remark its territory, so it is important to remove the scent straight away.

BioKleen makes a great product called Bac-Out. Soak the urine spot with the Bac-Out, wait approx. 20 to 30 minutes and blot it up. The smell will be gone, but the Bac-Out leaves a clean lime scent. It is a fantastic product and has worked for me when everything else I tried did not work. You can probably find at your local green grocery store.

How much wet food to give a cat?

This really varies. It just depends on the cat's appetite, size, energy levels and of course, the quality of the cat food. Lower quality cat foods will have poor meat sources so a cat will have to eat more to get all the nutrition it needs, whereas it will need to eat much much less if fed a high quality food.

Generally speaking, a 4kg cat fed on just wet food needs around 200g of food (this is about two pouches of food) per day. Please note this is a very basic guide and the amount of food should be adjusted for each cat.

If you are not sure, please consult your veterinarian to check the weight and health of your cat, who can then advise how much food to feed.

How old should a kitten be before they can be left alone?

Assuming your kitten is perfectly healthy I would say about 16 weeks. My oldest cat I have now was about that age when I first left her alone for two days. She was in good health, plenty of water and food to eat, we also kept her in the bedroom the entire time. I also have a cat who was on death door at 16 weeks and now because of him even at 2 years old I cannot leave him alone. I would say if you're worried, just have a neighbor or family member check in, hope that helps! #

What do cats do in heat?

When cats go into mating season we call it going into heat.

A fertile female will become more affectionate, rubbing against furniture and her favorite owner more than usual. At the same time she will be more restless and meowl incessantly to go outside.

An intact tomcat in heat will want to be outside, too, especially at night. He will enlarge his usual outdoor territory seeking a female to mate with. He may wander staying away for days at a time. And he may get into more fights with rival toms.

Pets are more content and happier when spayed an neutered. And it helps prevent the births of kittens and puppies who never find forever homes.
