Cat Q&A

How often does something like that happen ? Are some breeds more susceptible to it ?
these cats are grey and white. I thought maybe they have Siamese in them. Their eyes are opposite. One has the blue on the left, the other on the right, and it is freaky !

I want to switch my cat over to Wellness brand cat food instead of the crappy Cat Chow he’s eating now. I know that I should make the switch gradually and all that. On the Wellness website it says they recommend a combination of dry food and wet food and it has the recommended amount of each. My question is if you do the combination, do you mix the foods together or feed one in the morning and the other at night?

why does a cat purr..how does it purr….when it sits on you why does it keep pawing u..back and fourth?

Knowledge about long-term cat care is necessary before you decide to keep a cat as a pet. You ought to be familiar with all that is needed, before you start keeping a cat, as this would help you to avoid making mistakes. Cats make loving friends, but know about their feeding needs, which need not be the leftovers. The best thing to do is to get the best cat food that is available, so that your feline friend feels charged and remains healthy. You might have to put away some money for the cat food and this could call for some sacrifices on your part to be able to afford such items. You also have to make sure that the surrounding your cat is living in is free from anything that can cause them accidents so do not let anything that is lethal and poisonous hanging about.

When it concerns tidiness, you have chosen the best pet, as cats are very particular about their grooming standards and keep themselves clean all the time. Although too much grooming can also be bad because they can hurt themselves in the process. If you notice the over grooming habit of the cat, remember that this could be early symptoms of flea invasion, so take your cat to the vet for adequate treatment. Because you have a vain house mate, you must also be tidy with everything so you need to keep their litter boxes clean and well maintained.

Did you know that the cat’s sense of smell is 14 times stronger than yours? You may not smell a thing but your cat will. You would not find a cat using the litter bin for the purpose you have kept it, in case they find it malodorous. Cats can easily use the belly of your clean carpet for depositing their poops or a basket of clean clothes perhaps would be just right for them. Don’t give your cat a reason to stray when it comes to those things, give them what they want and that’s a clean and odor free litter box.

A good and friendly vet is an asset when you have a pet. Long-term cat care is all about remaining vigilant of early signs and symptoms, which show up, and if you just observe them critically, you would know if there is something that needs attention.

If you want a cat to be your friend for many years to come, you may as well be the responsible cat owner. You can never indulge in flip-flop ways of doing things, wanting something now and then rejecting the idea as this would be harmful for the cat and you too. So before you decide to keep a cat as a pet, think of the risks and benefits and then take a well-considered step. It is unwise to be hasty in your decision to keep a cat, and when you do so, be a responsible pet owner. Aiming for a long term cat care is good and by doing so, you only need to match that goal with the right steps to enrich the lives of your pets as well as yours.

I have a German shepard and a rare breed of cat so i was wondering.

I’ve had this cat for about 4 years, she’s always been an indoor cat, always been alone. Since returning to work full time I am concerned she may need a friend. My hubby says getting another cat will ruin her and she’ll just be mad about it! She is very spoiled and used to being the only girl.
Any ideas? Is it cruel for her to be alone?
PLEASE, if you do not have an intellegent answer then don’t answer! No offense but people often answer ridiculously! Thanks!

Choosing a gift for a cat lover seems relatively easy. You know for sure that cat lovers love cat-related stuff. But of course, things are not always that simple. You have to consider your cat-loving friend’s individual taste. And you have to think about your budget too.

Knowing your friend’s personal preferences will surely help you select the right gift more easily. But what if you’re not sure about what to give? The good news is that there is a wide selection of cat-themed gifts to choose from. You will surely find something fun and affordable for that special cat lover in your life.

So if you’re looking for a unique, low-priced cat gift and don’t know where to begin, take heart. Here are five inexpensive gift ideas for cat lovers that will certainly please any cat lover:

1. Cat T-shirts: You can find a wide array of fun cat-themed T-shirts online. They come in different styles and prices. Several online stores also allow you to customize your pieces. For example, you can select the design from a selection of available logos and images, or you can upload your own graphics. Cat T-shirts make great gifts for children too.

2. Cat Magnets: These make fun and whimsical gifts. And you can give just one or a whole set. In fact, you can help your friend start a collection.

3. Cat Posters: This is the perfect gift for cat lovers who also love art. There is a wide selection to choose from: from humorous to classic works; and from inspirational to whimsical pieces. For an extra fee, you can have your poster framed. And if you can afford it, why not give a fine art print? You can even find reproductions of famous works of art, such as Renoir’s Woman with a Cat. Your cat-loving friend will certainly be delighted.

4. Cat Books: This idea is one of my personal favorites. You can find cat books on a variety of topics, including humor, art, photography, history, inspiration, fiction, trivia, cat care, and much more. This is also the perfect gift for cat lovers who also enjoy a good read. A popular series of cat-inspired books is The Cat Who… series of mystery novels, by Lillian Jackson Braun. A personal favorite is Angel Cats: Divine Messengers of Comfort by Allen Anderson and Linda Anderson. Another popular book is Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover’s Soul: Stories of Feline Affection, Mystery and Charm by Jack L. Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Carol Kline, Amy D. Shojai, and Marty Becker.

5. Cat Candles: Does your friend love decorating? Does she love candles? If this is the case, your friend will love the gift of feline-inspired candles (you can give just one candle or an entire set). Undoubtedly, cat candles make great cat gifts. You can find candles adorned with cat motifs as well as cat-shaped candles. These candles are so much fun. Plus, they come in different sizes and prices.

Bonus Idea: A cat mug makes a fun gift for any cat lover. They too come in different styles and sizes, and most are very affordable. Some online stores even allow you to customize your mug by allowing you to use your own graphics and images.

i have a cat and my good friend has the same kind of cat. She said it was …gita breed, but she has a thick Spanish accent and I couldn’t understand her clearly. Something-gita, like gita was the suffix of the name of breed.
Here is a picture of my cat. there are no breeds that i have seen so far that she looks like. does anyone know the name of this breed of cat? her legs, the front ones, are horizontally striped.
