What is a blue-eyed white cat?
This usually means it's a Siamese cat. I know Siamese have brown in their fur as well, but if their young, it will take some age for the brown to appear. If it's not a Siamese cat, it could also mean the cat is more likely to be deaf.
Is the Orange Tabby Cat an official cat breed?
While tabby cats are grouped together in conversation, they are not a breed. Tabby refers to a cat who has a certain pattern on its coat. The Tabby pattern has dark markings (stripes, swirls, spots) on a paler background. The stripe colour is solid (goes right to the hair root), but the background colour is banded with colour on each individual hair.
Many breeds of cat can have the tabby pattern, but is particularly common in moggies.

There are many human foods that are toxic to a cat:
Chocolate - Can affect the heart and nervous system causing excitement / nervousness / trembling, vomiting / diarrhoea, seizures, muscle spasms, coma and death.
Caffeine - Can affect the heart and nervous system and causes the same or similar symptoms as chocolate.
Alcohol - Giving a cat alcohol repeatedly (or a lot of) will cause liver damage, breathing difficulties, coma and even death.
Garlic (any form) - Can damage red blood cells and lead to anemia.
Onion (any form) - Can damage red blood cells and lead to anemia. Onions are more toxic than garlic.
Tomatoes (all aspects of the fruit and plant) - Can cause the digestive, nervous, and urinary systems, but mostly causes severe digestive upset.
Potatoes (Raw and plant) - Can cause the digestive, nervous, and urinary systems, but mostly causes severe digestive upset.
Mushrooms - Some species of mushroom are highly dangerous as the can cause shock and even death.
Grapes and Raisins - It is unknown why these are toxic, but even a tiny amount can severely damage the kidneys.
Macadamia Nuts - Can cause gastrointestinal upsets, lethargy, vomiting and muscle tremors or stiffness.
Foods that are potentially harmful:
Liver (in large amounts) - A small bit of raw liver on occasion is very beneficial to a cat.
COOKED bones and fish bones (including raw and cooked) - Cooked bones are very hard and brittle and will splinter which can cause obstruction or laceration in the digestive system. Raw bones are much safer as they are soft and do not splinter.
Dog Food - Dog food is vastly different to cat food so doesn't have the added Vitamins and Fatty Acids cats need, such as Taurine.
Foods high in Salt and Sugar - Too much of both can harm your cat's health (sugar can cause obesity and diabetes and salt will cause a chemical imbalance, as well as dehydration).
Milk - Cow's milk, despite popular belief, is not tolerated by many cats as many are lactose intolerant. An adult cat gets no nutrition from any sort of milk, but specially formulated cat or kitten milk can be used as an occasional treat.
Why is your cats stool black and runny?
This kinda determines their age. If they're about 3-5 days old, the blackness means that their body is ridding of a certain fluid that they have in their bodies while in the womb. This is good though. But if a cat is older, the coloration could be caused by their food. You should try using a variety of cat foods, each for about a week, and see if your cats stool returns to normal. This may also mean that your cat is ill, and if these methods above fail, consult a vet.
What color is the sclera of cat?

The rolling around means she mated. it is a normal function that means it feels good and it also helps the sperm reach it's destination. Sort of a euphoric reaction. It also indicates to other cats to "stay away I have already mated".
You should get your cat spayed, it will stop this behaviour as well as prevent her from having kittens. It takes up to ten days for sperm to reach and fertilize the eggs, so you are not killing any kittens if you spay her right away.
Another Answer
Yes, PLEASE get the cat spayed! Those poor kittens are just going to be given away to unloving homes or put in a shelter where they will likely be put to sleep. I would advise seeking another vet - a good vet would never recommend to mate a pet cat.
Another Answer
There are too many cats, and breeding should ideally be left to cat breeders who know exactly what they are doing, finding good homes for the kittens is the most important thing. Spaying can be done safely, even to a cat who has recently mated.
What do you do if your kitten doesn't eat?
Quite simply: Just feed the kitten wet food! If your lifestyle allows, feed just wet food several times a day, or purchase a food bowl/storer that is on a timer. Most of these can keep the food fresh and cool.
Kittens and cats are strict carnivores. They get all their nutritional needs from meat. Kittens in particular, need a lot of Protein and Fat in order to grow and develop in a healthy manner. The best cat foods are the ones with a very high meat content (labeled as Chicken, Turkey, Tuna, etc.) as the FIRST ingredient with no grains, wheat, or corn. Foods that are free of grains, corns, and wheat gluten are highly recommended as these are cheap "filler" that bulk up foods - but have no nutritional value for your kitten. Wet food with these specifications are much easier to find than in dry food. A lot of dry foods have a very high amount of grains and cereals in.
Dry food contains no moisture, so is quite dehydrating. Cats are notoriously bad drinkers, even when they are thirsty. This is because they have evolved to get all their needed moisture from their prey (their ancestors were cats that lived in very dry and arid environments where water was hard to come by). It is a trait that has been passed down over the thousands of years.
Canned or pouched food has anywhere between 60 to 80% water. Seeing as in the wild a cat's prey is around 70% water, wet food provides a cat with more than enough water each day.
However, if you feel you must get your kitten to eat some dry food, try mixing a little wet food in the dry and decreasing the amount of mix wet food over time.
a breed of a cat is a type of cat. For example a Maine Coon cat is a breed of a cat, It is a rather large domestic cat that usually has tabby striped coat
Abyssinian: Today's Abyssinian retains a resemblance to the noble cats depicted in ancient Egyptian statues. The breed sports a ticked, richly colored tabby coat without markings on legs, tail and neck, but with dramatic facial markings. The Aby comes in four coat colors: ruddy, red, blue and fawn. More >>American Bobtail : The American Bobtail is a short-tailed cat, with a medium to large frame. Its tail should be clearly visible above the back when the cat is alert, not exceeding the hock in length. More >>American Curl: The American Curl gained CFA acceptance and has purred its way into the hearts of judges and cat lovers all in a short time. The Curl originated in June 1981, when a spontaneous genetic mutation produced the breed's signature backward-curling ears. More >>American Shorthair: Ideal American Shorthairs exude symmetry, with the breed standard calling for them to be slightly longer than tall. Females tend to be smaller than males. The American Shorthair's face should be full-cheeked with an open expression. More >>American Wirehair: The American Wirehair sports an exceptional coat, as each hair is bent or hooked, producing a dense, springy coat, with whiskers of the same texture. This breed was developed from the American Shorthair, so apart from the coat, the two display many similarities. More >>Balinese: The Balinese gets its name from its sinuous flowing movement, which reminded early breeders of Balinese dancers. Its oriental body type, with a long, tubular body and a wedge-shaped head, is softened by the semi-long coat that graces its body. More >>Bengal: The International Cat Association defines the Bengal as at least a fourth-generation descendant of a crossing between the wild Asian Leopard Cat and a domestic cat. The first three foundation crosses are identified as F1s, F2s and F3s. More >>Birman: Also known as the "Sacred Cat of Burma," Birmans are colorpoint cats, meaning they have a darker color on their tail, legs, ears and face, much like the Siamese or the Himalayan division of the Persian. More >>Bombay: This American breed is called the Bombay because its intensely black coat is reminiscent of that of an Indian Black Leopard. It's also known as a Black Burmese, because this breed came about after crosses with a sable Burmese and a black American Shorthair. More >>British Shorthair

actually cat's eyes start out blue, when they get older they sometimes change to yellow or green. Cat's eyes glow because the light is absorbed and then reflected back, making them seem green.
What are some types of cats that start with the letter s?
Types of cats that start with the letter 'P;:
- Persian (tamed breed)
- Puma (wild)
- Panther Iwild)
Also is the Peterbald (a Russian breed that loses its hair as it grows) and the Pixiebob (a spotted breed with a short tail, not related to bobcats).
No they should remain the same.
-----------------------
It depends what light they're in, as ALL cats are tabbys, but you just can't see their stripes most of the time. The easiest places to see the stripes are the paws and the tail. --- No, not all cats are tabbies. Cats that are not tabbies are called selfs and you cannot see tabby markings anywhere. Your Siamese is a tabby or lynx-point Siamese. Not all shows accept this, but most do. If the markings are only on the tail and not on the face or legs, it may be considered a fault in breed standards.
