Cats (Felines)

Some "cats" have gone extinct, such as the sabertooth. However, the cat as a whole has never been completely extinct.

Bengal cats can get along well with other cats if properly socialized from a young age. They may display dominant behavior due to their active and playful nature, so introductions should be gradual to ensure a harmonious relationship with other cats in the household. Providing plenty of vertical space and enrichment can help minimize potential conflicts.

Well, cats can go into heat at 5-7 months. A cat becoming pregnant at this age is incredibly dangerous, as it is still a growing and developing kitten. The risk of the mother and kittens not surviving is quite high, which is one of the reasons it is ideal to spay her before she has her first heat.

My cat, Timbit, got pregnant at 7 months and gave birth when she was 9 months. This is really too young for a cat to give birth. My vet said it is like a teen pregnancy. She had 3 kittens, but only one survived. Since she was so young, one died at birth, and one was stuck so the vet had to take it out. It was already dead inside her. Cats are usually considered "adults" at one year of age, as they have stopped growing and developing, which is the safest earliest age for a cat to become pregnant.

No, the cheetah is not the largest cat. The largest cat is the Siberian tiger, which can weigh up to 660 pounds and grow over 11 feet in length.

Some interesting qualities of the Himalayan cat are its long fur and 'flat' or pushed-in face. The breed also comes in many points- certain colors.

The points are chocolate point, flame point, tortie-cream point, lilac point, blue point, seal point, and much more.

It was first 'produced' in the 1950s, when crossing a Siamese cat with a Persian cat.

Cat DiStasio is a writer, editor, and lifestyle journalist specializing in sustainable living, green technology, and environmental issues. She contributes to various publications and websites covering topics related to eco-friendly living and innovations in sustainability.

Cats have two kidneys, and each kidney contains thousands of microscopic units called nephrons. These nephrons consist of a renal corpuscle, convoluted tubules, and a collecting duct, but they do not form pyramids. Pyramids are specific structures found in the medulla of the kidneys in animals like humans.

first you can help by leaving her alone also if you think she is hungry give her some food and do not hurt her stomic or let her go out side like i said leave her alone but keep a eye on her and well the rest you can figure out

A+ It is probably homozygous for the recessive allele.

The cat's breathing patterns and mood are linked. The cat is calm, it breathes slowly and at a steady rate. When she panics, her respirations increase in speed and she may respond to other animals breathing this way as a warning that there is something dangerous near. Some cats just learn in their own way, and this sound makes them have the same reaction as catnip. Some cats don't respond to breathing faster.

Among the big cats, there are lions, tigers, jaguars, cheetahs, and pumas.

Compared to that list, domestic cats are a single type, but within that type there are subtypes such as Siamese, Birman, ragdoll, Persian, and exotic shorthair, among hundreds of others.

No. Aborting a pregnant animal's unborn will help control the pet population.

Every year, upwards of 5 million perfectly healthy cats and dogs are murdered every year in shelters due to overcrowding and over populating. Take a look at your pets at home. Now imagine them in that cold, dark room at the shelter and watch the fear in their eyes as that needle is inserted in their veins and they begin to feel the effects of the murdering drug. Their pupils are wide. There is fear in their eyes. Then they collapse and struggle for about 30 seconds and then they are gone.

Results from surverys done in the previous years, shows that at the time nationwide euthanasias had gone down 75% in the preceding 20 years on a dog and cat population basis. With the increased emphasis on spay and neuter, and the emergence of rescue groups in the past few years, there's every reason to think that the trend has continued. If so, today, the national annual shelter and pound euthanasia rate would be around 4% of the total dog and cat populations. Numbers of the two species have been roughly comparable; however, the favorable trend in cats is slowing and may have reversed in some areas due to the establishment of feral breeding populations.

Well, my cat recently had a spontaneous abortion during very early pregnancy and developed a vaginal infection. I had her spayed once I discovered the infection. A few days after the surgery, the cat began being very vocal. She would try to grab ahold of my hand and my other cat's scruff to move us somewhere as if we were her new born kittens. I believe she knew she was pregnant, and now after the surgery she no longer had that feeling but still had motherly instincts.

A person who dislikes or hates cats is commonly referred to as a "ailurophobe."

Felix the Cat was first created in 1919 by Pat Sullivan and Otto Messmer. He made his debut in the silent film "Feline Follies."

Yes it is. Two or more males can impregnate a female and that's why you see some litters of kittens that can look so different from each other. Dogs are the same and that's where the term 'Heinz 57 Variety' came from. In other words ... who knows what breed of cat or dog is in cat or dog.

idk.. But ive done it before. as an owner of 9 cats, 5 dogs, and 7 parrots, (62 fish) and a koi fish, I would suppose so. Just ask the vet first I would assume you should for the safety of your pet.

Georgia Nethercott is renowned for being special, and, as young people say it: 'being cool'.

Hemp string can be dangerous for cats if ingested, as it can cause gastrointestinal blockages or other issues. It's best to avoid letting cats play with or chew on hemp string to prevent any potential harm. If your cat ingests hemp string or shows signs of distress, contact your veterinarian immediately.

If all goes well, the mother cat will do most of the work :)

Check to make sure that she is cleaning the kittens and letting them suckle. If she refuses to suckle the "runt" of the litter, you may need to bottle-feed it. Consult your veterinarian about this.

For the first few weeks, the kittens won't do much except eat and sleep. Make sure the mom and kittens have a warm, comfortable living space (perhaps a cat-bed or a nest of blankets) Feed the mom more food then usual because she needs to provide nutrients for herself and the kittens.

Be cautious about handling the kittens because the mama cat will be very protective. She probably won't let you near them for the first week or so.

Speak to your veterinarian about any problems that arise, and make an appointment for the kittens so they can get their shots, etc.

If you don't intend to keep all the kittens, it is never too early to start searching for their new homes! Many people don't realize how difficult it is to find homes for kittens, and many cats end up in animal shelters for this reason. So be responsible and start your search early! Remember though, the kittens have to stay with their mother until they're AT LEAST 12 weeks old

Hope this Helps :)

Cats typically have a strong aversion to fire due to their acute sense of smell and awareness of danger. They are likely to flee from fire and seek a safe place to hide. In the event of a fire, it is important to keep your cat indoors and evacuate together if it is safe to do so.

Dogs generally have better hearing than cats, as they have a wider range of frequencies they can detect. Dogs also have a more acute sense of hearing due to the shape of their ear canals. Cats have good hearing as well, but dogs are typically more sensitive to sounds from a farther distance.

Kittens should NEVER have children... Just like people.., if the kitten is not mature.., birth defects can become a factor... Also intelligence will be harmed... Cats should reproduce at around 2 - 4 years of age... This would be the equivilent to 25 - 42 in human years... Although cats can become reproductive at the mere age of 6 months of age (9 years old in human years).

The answer is yes and no. If offered, a kitten or cat could indeed eat puppy meat. Cats, especially in the wild, do not really care where their food comes from - they eat what they can catch or find.

Of course, in both a wild and a domestic setting (perhaps even more so), it is highly unlikely a kitten would ever catch and eat a puppy. Usually, kittens are often smaller than puppies, and felines are built to catch and eat prey many times smaller than themselves, so catching a puppy, amongst all the other unlikely reasons, is improbable.

In a domestic setting, a human owner's care and morals make this situation completely impossible.

It takes just 57 - 69 days, approximately 65 days, just about 2 months. After she goes into labor, 1 - 4 hours.

I have applied mouthwash to cats with fleas and mange. If they lick it it will not hurt them. I would avoid using stronger antiseptics like rubbing alcohol, peroxide, iodine, and Mercurochrome. Turpentine is a maybe. I have also used petroleum jelly for bleeding sores, although it has no antiseptic quality. The cat's natural instinct is to lick their wounds, and it must be an antiseptic which will not harm them if taken internally.
