Cats (Felines)

Cats in the Cradle is a 1974 folk song by Harry Chapin. It was first written as a poem by his wife, whom said it is about her first husband and his father, while Chapin claims is about his own relationship with his son.

Cats are mammals so they naturally drink milk from their mother when they are young. Milk is naturally high in fat and other nutrients, which is why cats will readily drink milk. Due to their carnivorous diet, cats need some fat in their diet.

Some people don't really understand cats. They think cats are vicious and dirty but only WILD cats are. Pets are not dirty but some people don't like them in the house because they drop fur everywhere. Cats considered as pets are not mean. Unless they are stray or have been abandoned.

I'm not sure what you're referring to, but it's important to ensure that your cat is at a healthy weight. Excess weight can lead to health issues in cats, so it's best to consult with a veterinarian for guidance on your cat's weight and diet.

It really depends on the lifestyle of the owner, and what type of pet suits best.

Cats are said to be more independent than dogs, whereas dogs are a little more dependent on their owners for activities, such as walks twice at day. Dogs also need taking outside for toilet breaks, whereas cats use litter trays - both animals need cleaning up after regularly.

No pet is better than the other - cats will suit some people's lifestyles better, the way a dog will suit other better.

That can be very, very serious. Actually, it can be deadly. One of my parents' cats has this problem constantly, and he has to take medication daily for it. For some reason, his bowels just get chronically blocked, and he can't poop. And like I said, this can be deadly.

So, you MUST take the cat to the vet. If it has been more than a few days -- like 3 days -- since the cat has pooped, then I would consider taking him to an animal emergency hospital immediately. Or at the very least, get a vet appointment within the next 24 to 48 hours. If you can't get the cat to the vet in less than 48 hours, then I would take him to a pet emergency hospital.

If you don't have a vet, or don't know of any animal emergency hospitals, then see the Related Links below.

Cats generally like to live in large houses with lots of areas to explore. They also love big gardens with hedges or bushes that they can shelter under from shade or rain if they have to. They also like gardens with lots of grass they can chew occasionally as it helps with digestion.

They like to live in environments with lots of different levels: for example stairs that overlook another room, tall cabinets that they can climb up to or even on a building site; the ramps where they can walk up and down on.

Lumbosacral is pain at the end of the spine on a cat and it can cause them to kick their hind legs. Fleas and their bites may be a reason a cat kicks their back legs in pain. Taking your cat to the vet will help you find out why you cat is in pain.

The original author of "Alley Cat With One Life Left" is Li Po, a Chinese poet from the Tang dynasty. Li Po was known for his lyrical and romantic poetry that often evoked the beauty of nature and fleeting moments in life.

Onions are toxic to cats and can cause gastrointestinal upset and damage to their red blood cells. It's best to monitor your cat closely for any signs of illness, such as vomiting, diarrhea, or lethargy, and contact your veterinarian immediately for advice. Treatment may include supportive care and monitoring for any potential complications.

An ear infection, most likley.

Any swelling can be a sign of infection. Check to see if it feels hot, and observe whether it seems to be bothering the cat. If so, you need to see a veterinarian or an animal clinic.

If the swelling remains after a few days, you should in any case get qualified medical assistance for your cat.

The origin is unclear of the saying that includes "swing a dead cat." Some think it dates back to a popular TV show, "Cheers," and others believe it is from the 1600s, or from the UK. The saying is "You can't swing a dead cat without hitting two people you know" or some other object.

At this rate, it took 2 people 24 minutes to feed 18 cats, which means each person took 48 minutes to feed 18 cats individually. If 3 people were to feed 18 cats, it would take them 48/3 = 16 minutes to feed all the cats.

If eight cats weigh forty pounds, then each cat weighs 5 pounds. Therefore, 16 cats would weigh 16 * 5 = 80 pounds.

It definitely isn't good if a cat drinks antifreeze. Even a small amount could damage the cat's organs and possibly give it mental problems. Antifreeze contains ammonia, so naturally attracts animals as it smells like another animal's urine. An animal will naturally sniff or perhaps lick liquids containing ammonia. It is also said that it may taste sweet as well.

If you have antifreeze, I advise you keep it sealed tight and out of reach of animals and children. A moderate amount of antifreeze could kill a cat or dog. In fact, this is a big killer of animals.

You can use reputable sources such as National Geographic, World Wildlife Fund, or the Humane Society for information on the pros and cons of captivity for wild cats. These sites provide well-researched information and balanced viewpoints on the topic.

Yes it depends on the type of flower though. Flowers can be toxic to cats especially Lilies. It will take a couple days for your cat to actually get sick. (if they do get sick from eating the flower, not all cats get sick from them but most do.) If your cat is sick take him/her to the vet as soon as possible for the cat could get kidney or liver failure.

It depends. It needs to see that cats are nice to get along with. If it got attacked by a cat, then no, it would probably not like them. Dogs are not naturally friendly with cats, as cats are more independent and dogs are more of pack animals, but with the right cat and owner, I sure it would work.

Chickens and cats have different types of intelligence and abilities suited to their respective environments. Chickens show complex social behaviors and have certain cognitive skills, while cats are known for their problem-solving abilities and agility. It is difficult to say definitively which is smarter as their intelligence is manifested in different ways.

The names of the three Calico kittens from Curious Kittens are Whiskers, Scat, and Scorch.

A cat can have anywhere from 1 to 12 kittens in a single litter, with the average litter size being around 4 to 6 kittens. The number of kittens can vary based on factors like the breed of the cat, the age of the cat, and her health.

Well cats are very sensitive so when they think too hard, get frightened, or predict natural disasters there blood pressure goes up, starts to clot and can go into their eyes.

It depends on the individual animals' personalities and socialization. Some bulldogs can get along well with cats, while others may have a high prey drive, making interactions with a cat more challenging. Proper introduction, supervision, and training can help facilitate a positive relationship between a bulldog and a cat.
