If they smoked catnip every day for many, many years, yes, they could get a smoking-related disease such as lung cancer or emphysema.
But nobody would do that, because catnip has no psychoactive effect on humans. It's not a drug and it won't get you high. You might as well try smoking the bits of paper from your paper shredder.

She may have a sore tooth / serious dental problem. Just like for us, humans, a very bad tooth causes a swollen face - on cats this shows on the lip.

What do you give a cat to help it sleep through the night when senile?
Warm milk is NOT a cat remedy. Cats (adult) don't have the lactase enzyme to digest lactose in milk. Milk is for calves... I found Bach's STRESS REMEDY online, and then at pet supply stores. They make animal formulas, and even alcohol-free animal formulas. I tried it and gave her four drops. She is sleeping after 14 hours on vet prescribed/given xanax, screaming ALL NIGHT. Also got Sentry's "calming collar". Natural herbs in Bach's products, and pheromones in calming collar. She is night-night FINALLY!
Which is the most cat litter 25L or 25 KG?
You'll want to find out the density of cat litter to get the actual measurement, but they're roughly the same amount (based on water conversion)
To the best of my knowledge, nothing. Some cats find the scent of catnip alluring and somewhat intoxicating - they may roll around in it, eat it and play with it, then run around with a lot of energy afterwards. Other cats couldn't care less about catnip and pretty much ignore it. Either way, the catnip itself isn't a problem and there isn't anything wrong with it or the cat - it's just a normal cat behavior for some cats.

What can you spray on your rug to stop cat urinating on it?
When a cat urinates somewhere in particular you want to start with first do they have a urinary tract infection. This needs medical assistance. Usually they will urinate out of the box if they are not feeling well, once it is cleared that this is not the reason check into the litter does the cat like the litter, is there too much fragrance is it being kept up with. Then you can look into the carpet is it wool, does it have a wool backing. Sometimes the carpets have a certain oil that is attracting the animal dog, cat or ferret to it. A really good cleaning product is Natures Miracle it clears up the odor and traces. Alcohol base, but very good. Try a small spot before treating the area. Also check with your vet to see if something may be bothering your companion. Anything different in the house. Remember they are just like people they get affected in very similar ways.

What kind of relation do fleas have with a cat?
Fleas on dogs and cats! These small dark brown insects prefer temperatures of 65-80 degrees and humidity levels of 75-85%... so for some areas of the country they are more than just a "summer" problem. Dogs and cats often get infested with fleas through contact with other animals or contact with fleas in the environment. The strong back legs of this insect enable it to jump from host to host or from the environment onto the host. (Fleas do not have wings so cannot fly!) The flea's bite can cause itching for the host but for a sensitive or flea-allergic animal, this itching can be quite severe and leads to hair-loss, inflammation and secondary skin infections. Some pets, hypersensitive to the flea's saliva, will itch all over from the bite of even a single flea! The flea information presented here will focus on treatment for and prevention of fleas, which, let's face it, is just as important to the pet as it is to the pet's caretakers!
How do you know if fleas are causing all that itching (called pruritus)? Generally, unlike the burrowing, microscopic (Demode x) http://www.thepetcenter.com/exa/dem.html or (Scabies Mites,) http://www.thepetcenter.com/exa/mites.html fleas can be seen scurrying along the surface of the skin. Dark copper colored and about the size of the head of a pin, fleas dislike light so looking for them within furry areas and on the pet's belly and inner thighs will provide your best chances of spotting them. Look for "flea dirt", too. "Flea dirt" looks like dark specks of pepper scattered on the skin surface. See the image of flea dirt near the bottom-right of this article. If you see flea dirt, which is actually flea feces and is composed of digested blood, pick some off the pet and place on a wet paper towel. If after a few minutes the tiny specks spread out like a small blood stain... it's definitely flea dirt and your pet has fleas! Flea dirt may be your only evidence of a flea infestation but believe the evidence! If there is flea dirt there are surely fleas present. You need to begin your war on the pests.
Remove all animals from the home and using a flea bug bomb will get rid of them in the house or a local exterminator. A vet should be consulted on what products will be best for flea removal for the cat.
What are the ingedients in meow mix cat food?
Meow Mix Original Choice Ingredients:
Ground yellow corn, corn gluten meal, chicken by-product meal, soybean meal, beef tallow preserved with mixed tocopherols (source of vitamin E), turkey by-product meal, salmon meal, ocean fish meal, brewers dried yeast, phosphoric acid, animal digest, calcium carbonate, potassium chloride, tetra sodium pyrophosphate, calcium chloride, choline chloride, added color (red 40, yellow 5, blue 2, and other color), salt, taurine, zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, l-alanine, niacin, vitamin E supplement, biotin, folic acid, copper sulfate, pyridoxine hydrochloride, thiamine mononitrate, citric acid, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin K activity), calcium iodate, sodium selenite.
Meow Mix is a terrible quality food. The first ingredients are "Ground yellow corn, corn gluten meal". Cats are strict carnivores - they get all their nutrition and energy from Proteins and Fats in fresh meat. Therefore a food truly suitable for a cat is one with meat FIRST on the list (or even better, the first three), not corn.
Yellow Corn, Corn Gluten Meal and Soybean Meal are also one of the most common causes of allergies in foods. See Related Links below for more information.
Next there is: chicken by-product meal, soybean meal, beef tallow preserved with mixed tocopherols (source of Vitamin E), turkey by-product meal, brewers dried yeast
- By-Product Meal are the leftover parts of the animal (lungs, spleen, kidneys, brain, liver, blood, bone, some fatty tissue, and stomach and intestines). Not very good quality, but better than corn.
- Salmon/Fish/Turkey Meal is terrible; its the rendered (moisture and fat removed) "waste" tissues of an animal. Very low quality which has little Protein in.
- Soybean meal is soy that is added to cat food for the protein benefit, but because its a plant it gives barely any nutritional value whatsoever. The possible allergic reaction to soy makes it an ingredient to avoid. Many cat foods have banned any soy product being used in the their foods.
- Beef Tallow is essentially rendered fat. This gives the food a bit of flavour.
- Animal Digest is a broth made from unspecified parts of animals. The animals used can be obtained from any source, so there is no control over quality or contamination. This can include roadkill, animals euthanized at shelters, restaurant and supermarket refuse.
Other things in the list that are worrying: added color (red 40, yellow 5, blue 2, and other color), there is also added salt (too much salt over a period of time could seriously harm a cat).
Needless to say, Meow Mix is very poor quality which some ingredients could cause allergies.
There are foods that are completely free of these ingredients, with Named Meat sources at the first of the Ingredients list. Such high-quality foods are much healthier for a cat and much easier to digest. Cats are carnivores and they cannot digest such high quantities of grain and corn. It often gets stored as fat which is the main cause of obesity.
