Cats (Felines)
Cats are a type of pet first domesticated in Egypt around 2500 BC. Today, they are very popular as companion animals worldwide. Cats are independent, and are less attention demanding than other animals. They also need very little exercise and does not need to be walk daily, like the way dogs do. These qualities make them ideal pets for people who can only spend little time with their companion animals each day, and people who wants an indoor pet.

Is it legal to bury a cat in your backyard?
It depends on where you live.
In general it's probably okay providing you comply with certain guidelines. For example, many locations specify a minimum depth and have regulations about how near the grave can be to wells, flood plains, and/or wetlands, and how many graves can be within a given area (probably not a problem unless you are trying to run a pet cemetery).
The best thing to do would be to look up the regulations for the disposal of animal carcasses in your state or municipality.
It should probably also be noted that burying a live cat (you didn't specifically say the cat in question was dead) is probably illegal nearly everywhere due to animal cruelty laws.
Why are some cats more playful than others?
Playing by cats mostly mimics their instinctive hunting skills.
The observation that cats "play with their prey" is based on an instinctive response to prey that is still active, and could conceivably inflict harm on its attacker. Once the prey stops moving, it is no longer a threat. A cat that is accidentally injured by a toy will avoid it and not voluntarily play with it again.
Why do cats eyes get smaller when there in the sun but big when its dark?
When it's cold, the erector pili muscles that make hair/fur stand up are active. (They're also the reason why your body hair stands when it's cold, and you get goosebumps.) The fur traps air in the spaces between individual hairs, which then act as an insulator to prevent heat loss from the body. On hot days, the cat wants to cool down so the fur lies flat to prevent any insulating air from being trapped in the fur.

What to do when your female cat is in heat?
There isn't a great deal you can do, except provide comfort, and to ensure she is eating. Being in heat is a stressful time, so some cats do not eat for the duration. Make sure there is no way for her to escape outside, and is ideal to get her spayed after her heat has finished.
A cat in heat will become much more affectionate with everything she comes across, she will howl an call day and night and will attempt to escape outside at every opportunity she sees in order to find a mate. She will often present her rear end and keep the front half of her body close to the ground, and tread with her back feet. Females cats in heat will also spray vertical surfaces in the house in order to attract a mate.

How do you stop cats from sucking on blanket?
I would suggest soaking the blanket in vinegar or some other smell cats don't like. If its a blanket that goes on a bed, then you may need to find a substitute for it! Make sure you leave the soaked blanket in the open where he/she will suck on it. Eventually he/she will get the idea
If the cat switches which blanket it sucks on, just repeat the process, making sure you keep the first blanket somehwhere out of reach of cat mouths!
Its even easier if its a specific corner!
Cats are awesome and should be worshipped?
While cats can be wonderful companions and pets, it's important to remember that they are animals with their own needs and behaviors. It's great to appreciate and care for them, but worship may not be the most appropriate way to interact with them. It's important to respect their boundaries and provide a loving, safe environment for them to thrive.
How do cats break their tails?
Of course not!
NEVER cut off a animals tail!
=====
The tail can be amputated if necessary successfully. Accidents happen; cat fights, doors shutting. My cat fell victim to my blinds and got her tail caught in the string that operates them, circulation was lost and half the tail had to be removed because the nerves had died and the vertebrae was broken.
They should be given a fresh bowl of water daily. Cows' milk is actually hard for cats to digest and can cause diarrhea in cats.
You can try using double-sided tape, aluminum foil, or citrus-scented sprays as deterrents to keep your cats away from the kitchen counter. These options are typically effective in discouraging cats from jumping onto surfaces they're not supposed to be on. Remember to provide alternative elevated surfaces like cat trees to satisfy their natural climbing instincts.
