It is thought that the oldest "true" cat was Proailurus. It lived in what is now Europe and Asia, around 25 million years ago. It was a small predator, slightly larger than a modern domestic cat.

Proailurus is thought to be to be a likely ancestor to Pseudaelurus, prehistoric cat that lived 20-8 million years ago. Pseudaelurus is the ancestor of today's cats, as well as the famous sabre-tooth cats.

What is the best food for a male cat with crystals in his urine?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Wet food is undoubtedly the best to feed a cat with crystals or known to have a UTI in the past. You can get prescription foods that help with the acid and alkaline levels in the urine which can work. Unfortunately most of this is dry food that is packed with grains and other carbohydrates - not ideal at all.

It may be best to contact your vet to see if there are any prescription wet foods. Failing that, finding a food that is free of Corn, Wheat, Cereals, Soy and various Sugars is ideal. You can also add extra water to your cat's food so he is thoroughly hydrated.

Another way to increase water intake is to leave a tap on, or purchase a pet water fountain. Many cats are fickle when it comes to water and will only drink fresh moving water. A running tap or fountain keeps water constantly moving and fresh, and both methods are very successful in enticing a cat to drink more water.

Cats are shampooed are they conditioned?

Asked by Wiki User

Cats are usually not conditioned after they're shampooed. This is because cats bathe by licking themselves, and the chemicals in human conditioners are made to cling to the hair, making this a poisonous process for cats who would then lick their hair.

If a kitten gets dropped in water will it stunt its growth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Though unlikely to permanently stunt growth, dropping a kitten in water can cause immediate issues like hypothermia and shock, as well as long-term problems like ear infections and respiratory issues. Always remove the kitten promptly and monitor for any signs of illness. Consider alternatives like misting or a shallow bath instead.

Is a dog better than a cat for a girl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is my opinion, I think cats are better pets than dogs. They both are the cutest thing in the world and both have lost of things in common, but cats will not leave you ever! I had a cat and it died :( I was really sad about that. He was poisoned. When ever I was sad he was with me on my bed, kind of like asking me why I was sad. Now I only have 1 cat left. I hope he stays with us for a long time. But I know 100% they love us. When Nidya (the undead cat) leaves to go outside, when I call his name he comes running home. I love my cats....

Can you contact herpes through a cat scratch?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, humans cannot contract feline or human herpes from a cat in any way, shape or form. Only cats can contract Feline Herpes Virus (more commonly known as an acute upper respiratory disease) and is usually spread through direct contact (secretions from the eyes and nose) or indirect contact (Contact with infected food bowls, litter trays, bedding etc., which have been in contact with an infected cat).

This virus is most common in kittens, cats in stressed/overcrowded environments. Kittens and older cats are more at risk than healthy adults, and are also at a greater risk of dying. Once a cat has contracted the virus, it becomes a carrier. A times of stress or ill-health it is possible for it to re-surface, but some cats can live all their lives without another outbreak.
