Cat Maintenance

Some cats will start to do this as kind of a passive aggressive measure if they are being left alone too much or something has changed in the house. You can cover his favorite furniture with plastic until you are able to solve the problem. You'll evaluate that and its cause, which is not always easy. Alternatively, if you have a unneutered male cat, he may be marking his territory.

It usually depends on the specific cat itself. Some cats clean their coats regularly, reducing/eliminating odors, while others simply think,"ah, my owner will do it eventually" like one of my many cats.

Outdoor cat enclosures can be bought in a wide variety of places. A simple place to buy a cat enclosure is by visiting a local pet store, such as Petland.

You simply take cat nail clippers and clip it before the quick. The quick is the part on the nail that's pink. You want to make sure you don't cut this part, or it'll bleed, because usually a cats nail is white, so you can usually see a pink/red color on the nail. You would cut before the red/pick part(the quick).

How much a pet costs annually varies first with the type of pet, and next it's needs. Obviously it will cost more to feed a big dog than a small one, for instance. And a big doghouse costs more to build or buy than a small one. The other big variable is the animal's state of health. A healthy, happy, well-fed pet will cost you less per year than an ill one of the same kind as you won't be spending money for veterinary care. So in the long run it pays to feed your pet the best you can afford, give them plenty of clean water, ideally filtered like you drink, and to allow it plenty of exercise.

After initial expenses you could keep a healthy cat or small dog, feeding it top-quality species-appropriate food, for about $900 per year. Here is the cost breakdown for a cat.

To adopt a healthy rescued cat from a pet store will cost you about $50. The cat will come spayed or neutered, but at first you will have to buy a litterbox, catbed, toys, and a sturdy carrier for travel, too. Together these accessories can cost another $100 or more. You will save money if you buy them all large enough for an adult cat because your kitten will grow faster than you think.

If your cat will be mostly indoors using a litterbox permanently, then plan on another about $15 per month for clumping litter, or about $150 per year, if you scoop at least a couple times daily to keep the litter fresh and clean so you almost never have to change out the whole box. Non-clumping litter is cheaper but you must change it all out frequently.

Human grade, grainless canned catfood is best and can cost over a dollar for a 6-oz can. A big adult tomcat can eat two cans a day so you could spend up to $730 annually for catfood. Top quality dry food is somewhat less expensive but can be dehydrating if it is all you feed. Be sure if you do feed mainly dry food that you keep plenty of fresh water available for your pet.

If you can afford to keep a pet the love you share with your furkid will far outshine any expense.

Sure why not

The same reason as humans do. They have to get rid of their liquid waste.

Yes.

Where there is cat feces, there is also cat urine, and urine decomposes into ammonia, which is a poisonous gas. In addition, cat feces contains bacteria, and in a house full of cat feces, the feces become aerosolized, which increases the chance of the bacteria to be inhaled. The decomposition of cat feces releases sulfur-containing gases, some of which might be changed to sulfuric acid when dissolved in water (as they would be in the lungs).

The best thing to do is to take the cat to the vet, so she can be given the correct treatment. Never try and medicate a cat at home as this can easily lead to overdosing the cat.

Wet kitten food is best, but dry can be fed, also. As long as the food has plenty of meat in it and no cereals, grains or corn in. For young kittens, soft food will be easier for them to eat.

Cats are carnivores so they derive all the nutrients from meat, so it makes sense to find a food with a high (50% or over) meat content. This should be the FIRST, or first couple of ingredients (listed as Chicken, Turkey, Lamb, Tuna, etc.). Foods that are free of grains, corns, and wheat gluten are highly recommended as these are cheap "filler" that bulk up foods - but have no nutritional value for your kitten. Wet food with these specifications are much easier to find than in dry food.

Kittens are constantly growing and developing, so they need all the nutrients they can get. Typically, a kitten will need twice as much protein as an adult cat, so it is usually best to feed the kitten as much as it needs until it is around a year old.

Cod Liver Oil can induce toxic levels of Vitamin A in your cat. Please dont

use it. Refer to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervitaminosis_A and

this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cod_liver_oil

You should be aware of the same issues of excess Vitamin A and D in your own

use of CLO. Keep in mind total Vitamin A and D intake from taking tablet supplements,

fortified milk and fortified cereals in conjunction the cod liver oil.

You can go to Bakersfield Califronia.

Well, don't live in Oakland. The police might just kill or hurt you for no reason (Occupy Oakland).

It is not a very good idea to open a kitten's eyes. It could damage a kitten's growth. Keep in mind that a kitten's eyes are fully open in four weeks.

So, I suggest seeing a vet if the eyes are not developing and not opening after a long period of time.

Take the cat to the vet

Yes, you can do this treatment on your yard and it will kill fleas. The soap will coat the fleas and therefore kill them.

A one day old cat should not be away from it's mother. It needs to be weaned first. If you have no choice, feed it warmed (not hot!) cat milk from a bottle till it's weaned. If possible, let it's mother do the job, though.

Hi there...like any other domestic cat they require a diet rich in animal protein and taurine. Even pedigree cats require the same dietary needs as a calico cat. Exotic cats however require a diet which is more suitable for their order of carnivora species. Hi there...like any other domestic cat they require a diet rich in animal protein and taurine.

From what I am told you should not give kittens milk! You can buy a canned KMR (Kitten Milk Replacement) in the cat section of most pet/food stores. HTH

With any pet and tool combination (FURminator, Brush, Comb)... use moderation and gentle strokes. 30 minutes once a week will FURminate a pet without removing to much hair or irritating skin.

There are plenty of ways to make money on that site. The easiest & most commonly used way is to play the daily games- Guess the Number, Mouse-Cat-Dog, & Paw Draw. Guess the Number is simple- the computer will generate a number between 0-999, & when you guess it you get money based on how many tries it took you. Mouse-Cat-Dog is basically rock-paper-scissors. Paw Draw is like a lottery.

If you have enough money to go on a shopping spree, go to Item Finder & learn what Purple wants from you. Then go to the Shop search & search for that item. Buy however many you need & give them to Purple. Don't worry about spending the money- you'll always get more money than you spent.

If you have more than one mweor, put them up for stud. You can charge a fee to anyone who breeds with that mweor, so you'll get money every time. You could also sell your mweors.

Good luck!

yes i would do it

Buy a clean, empty spray bottle, and some bottles of lemon juice. Spray copious amounts of lemon juice everywhere you don't want the cats to be. Most cats HATE citrus. The smell of anything citrus will usually drive them away, especially lemon.

Not always, though. Some cats are not bothered by it, for example, my uncle once had a cat that loved to eat oranges.

It also depends on what is attracting the cats to your property in the first place. Are they coming to your trash cans for food garbage, or taking food you leave out for your dog or another pet?

Because if it's food they're after, they may be willing to put up with the lemon smell. Hungry animals will go to great lengths and endure great discomfort for food. If there's food or food garbage for them to eat, you will have to remove the food or seal up the garbage, or the lemon probably won't work very well.

It's not a foolproof solution, but it's the simplest, cheapest, and most humane way to keep cats away.
