Heat is the period when the female cat is ready to mate, which means that they have intercourse. Spray means that the male (often males but female does that too) will spray pee on a vertical surface to mark territory
Hey:) First of all thx so much for sharing all that knowledge. I have 2 Siberian cats since last year and love them so much!!! My boyfriend developed an allergy now.. What shall I Do? :( I don't want to loose my cats neither my boyfriend :-(((
You should look up the possibilities for vaccine for this, there is a new vaccine that I don't remember the name of, that should be great for cat allergies. Check what options you have where you live to try that :) I really hope you will keep both kittys and boyfriend <3
You said that vets aren't actually concerned about what happens outside their practice... Not to be rude or anything but I don't think this is true, because I REALLY want to be a vet and of somebody bought in a pink vet into my practice then I would care. But people do have their own opinions <3
I think it was red or written the wrong way :) What I meant was that not all vets do. It is very sad, but also true. I wouldn't ask a vet about anything that hasn't got to do with surgery or blood tests etc, they generally are not that educated in all areas, mostly the medicine part :)
Sorry I didn't understand what do you mean by third eyelid >_<! but my kitten is one week and half .. and there was a white liquid that is stucking on his eyes that preventing him from opening it! what should I do?
Oh! It is still too young yet, it is probably going to open the eyes very soon. You cannot force that in any way! It can take up to two weeks or more for the eyes to open. If you see that the eye seems red or oozing you must go to the vet asap
Hi!There is a white thing that comes out from my kitten's eyes, he opened his eyes yesterday but it closed again. I tried to clean it softly but the white thing keeps coming out!! what is that?? Can I give him the eyes medicine that I used to give my adults cats? I'm scared and worried about him <\3
How old is this kitten? Is it the third eye lid you are referring to as white thing?
It baffles me how you said you love lucifer and knew he needed a new home but yet you went ahead and got the 4 cats without making sure lucifer was either rehomed or staying with you
Well....that is actually not at all how it happened :) But thank you for your concern <3
I think the word the person seems to mean is "molting" not malting. Which means to shed feathers, hair, an old shell, or skin. However for cats 'molting' is not the correct word as it would be shedding. Hopefully I brought some clarification there.
Thank you :) This word didn't even come up when I searched for it so I had no idea what it was :)
Will there come a time where you will "give away" Muffin like you did Lucifer? It is just unimaginable that you said how much you love Lucifer, yet you can live without him.
No Muffin will never move away from me <3 We do what is best for the cats, I rarely put myself first, if ever.
With the healthy to itching cat I've put up barriers so he can't get under my bed and sleep in the dust, vacuumed, cleaned, gave him prescription allergy food, antibiotics.
Have you tried to rule out fish? Pork? Chicken? Have the vets drawn blood to check on everything possible? (Sometimes you need to tell the vets what to do in case you really want answers) It doesn't have to be health related, it can be because of stress too
If I saw blood on the surface of my cat's poop should i treat it as an emergency or wait to see if it happens again? I can't see if the poop is bloody cause it was covered in litter.
If the blood is red, it can just be a punctured vessel, that is common if the stool is too hard or too soft. If the blood is darker and mixed with the poop, it can be more serious. Just keep an eye on how the cat is eating and drinking and keep looking in the litter box :)
When I first got my cat he was healthy but over time has developed serious itching. It's driving my crazy we've taken him to specialists, vets and its just getting worst. I don't know if I can take care of him much longer financially and emotionally. I want to give him up but with his condition idk
What have you done to try and stop this? In your home, I mean?
