This is easy. If your cat’s behavior doesn’t change dramatically overnight, and eating and activity habits remain regular and normal, there’s a good chance that there is nothing at all to worry about. A happy and healthy cat will have been properly socialized and cared for as a kitten both by the breeder and you as an owner. In adult life, the cat will undergo as few home changes as possible and experience little, if any, stress. The first sign of physical problems will usually be an obvious indication that something has changed for the worse. How Can I Tell If My Cat Is Healthy and Happ ..read more

Once neutered, either a male or a female cat can make an ideal companion animal. Some owners have a preference often based on their previous relationships with cats. Sometimes elderly people express a desire for a cat that is the opposite gender to them, to create a ‘replacement partner’. Adult entire (un-neutered) cats are less straightforward as house cats.

In theory, yes, although some foods intended for human consumption are not suitable. Your cat would probably refuse these anyway. Cat foods have been specifically developed by the major pet food manufacturers, who spend a great deal of time and money on research in order to ensure that the recipes sold offer a cat the ideal, balanced diet. Reading cat Cats need a meat-based (carnivorous) diet, as their natural prey consists of small mammals such as birds and rodents. Wild cats also actively seek out invertebrates such as insects, because these offer additional dietary input ..read more

by
4y ago
It is fairly easy to judge whether or not your cat is nervous. A nervous cat will disappear upstairs to a known bolt hole, such as underneath a bed or in a secluded cupboard, as soon as a visitor enters its owner’s home. Healthy cats are naturally inquisitive and would normally want to mark or brush up against a newcomer to the home to express their possessiveness. A cat that is anxious will not interact with visitors (or sometimes, even its owner) in the way a confident companion pet would in this respect. Nervous Cat ..read more

Is It Beneficial for My Cat to be Petted?
Cataward
by
4y ago
Most cats appear to ‘enjoy’ being petted by their owners. This apparent willingness on the part of cats to succumb to human needs suggests that there is a benefit to them in this behavior. However, it is probably more accurate to analyze the interaction as the cat perceiving that the human is performing marking behavior as they pet the cat and, seemingly deliberately, leave their skin scent behind on it. Cats may not fight against being petted (although some cats do shy away or become aggressive during the interaction that involves petting), and they may even thrive on the cross-marking behav ..read more

Yes, a cat has a rather unique skeleton. Not only does it have more vertebrae in its backbone than a human, but this defining physiology also continues into the tail to create an extended backbone structure. Cats flexible backbone A cat’s spine is made up of 30 vertebrae, excluding the 14-28 (depending on the breed) in the tail. These highly flexible vertebrae are divided between the neck, chest, back and hip and, alongside its strong muscular capabilities for jumping and propelling itself forward, help to make the cat dynamically sleek and fluid.

Kitten Meets Its New Home Some kittens are adventurous and allow their curiosity to lead them into dangerous places, especially when kittens are exploring a new home.

The kitten is probably the most dangerous area for any cat. This room also has an attractive association, because it is where food is prepa ..read more

Why Does My Cat Bring Prey It Has Killed To Me?
Cataward
by
4y ago
What Does It Mean When Cat Brings Prey It Has Killed ? Once kittens are on solid food, the litter mother will carry prey back to them on a daily basis throughout her care period. In the absence of a litter to feed, a cat with a hunting personality will use this instinctive behavior to bring home prey that it rarely needs for itself. Healthy feeding cats have more than enough energy to hunt and seem to enjoy bringing back ‘trophies’ that help to show off their skill and healthiness. Cat on hunt Fundamentally, your cat wants to share its kill with you just as you share yours (cat food ..read more
