Why do cats roll on catnip?

Cats roll on catnip because it releases the drug called Nepetalactone. This causes the cat to have a "high" sensation. This high lasts for 10-15 minutes, and is a safe natural high for the cat. (No need to worry). Cats know when they have had enough and move on. Some cats will not even go near catnip.

Can you use frontline for cats on a puppy?

At 8 weeks old, the kittens are a little too young and using Frontline flea treatment may do more harm than good. The safest method for kittens this age is to use a flea comb on all the kittens, and comb them twice a day until no adult fleas are seen.

Is horse meat in cat food?

Horses in the USA were used for dog food until the Horse Protection act was founded. Then the industry turned to the 'scrap meat' left over by the slaughter of commonly used food animals like Chicken, pigs, and cows. Horses are no longer a suitable source of dog food due to the chemicals used to keep them healthy. These chemicals stay in the horses systems for long periods of time and if consumed by animals or people can make them sick or kill them. Over seas however it is fairly common for horses to be used for human consumption, especially in France and certain Asian countries.

Can cat become ill after treating with Frontline?

What is the best canned cat food?

Some of the best canned foods would be ones that have a high meat content (labelled as Chicken, Turkey, Tuna, etc.) as the FIRST ingredient and free of corns/grains. "Cheap" store brands will only have "Meat Derivatives/By-Products" as the first ingredient (this is the leftover bits of an animal such as feet, fur, feathers, lungs, intestines etc.), which results in poor quality food and extremely low nutritional value.

Stay away from lower-quality brands, as these foods are often packed with carbohydrates - "filler" in the way of corns and grains, none of which cats can digest. Grain is used instead of meat because it is cheaper to produce.

For high-quality cat food there is: Blue Buffalo, Felidae, Weruva, California Natural, Instinct, Prairie, Natural Balance, Eagle Pack, Wellness, EVO, Bozita (the canned stuff is 90+% meat and can be bought from zooplus.co.uk), Applaws (70+% meat and comes in both tinned and dry), HiLife (60% meat), Feline Fayre, to name a few.

What to do put dog flea med on cat?

When was kitty litter first invented?

Edward Lowe sold industrial absorbents. When a neighbor asked for a better alternative to filling her litter boxes with ashes (her cat was tracking the ashes all over the house), he suggested an absorbent clay.

What happens if honey gets in your eyes?

You just rush to the tap and wash it off or better yet if you happen to have warm water nearby the better, it makes the honey soften and easy to clean off. Honey is acidic and could give you a pink eye if you don't wash it off immediately. Make sure you use lots of water but don't rub your eyes too hard, just softly to allow it to flow without force (assuming its not a whole jar in your eye).

How long will wet cat food last in the refrigerator?

Since canned cat food contains meat, I would not want to leave it out any longer than I would be comfortable leaving meat out that I eat. So, I would not suggest leaving it out uncovered for very long. Usually half an hour at the most. It is best to put out enough food that the cat can eat in one sitting and have none left over.

When do kittens start eating regular cat food?

Generally kittens begin to sniff out adult food at 7 weeks. They may try sooner or later, but 7 to 8 weeks is when it is experimented. A kitten formula is ok or even an adult food is fine as long as it is not a dietary formula they need their nutrition. If they try to eat hardfood just monitor them.
