is it possible that a male color pointed is getting the fur darker because he's a stud, not neutered?

No the fur gets darker by age :)

Shouldn't you be encouraging people to adopt cats that have never known a good life and have been abused rather than buying them from a breeder just because they're healthy and from a good home

It is not up to me to do that. I would never tell another person what to do, because if the person hope to have the cuddliest cat there is and goes to a shelter to hope to find it there, there is a very big risk that cat will be left on the street because it didn't behave as the person hoped.
Only if I know the person I can tell them what is best for them

Can I give dairy free probiotic powder for humans in a small amt to my cat? I've tried looking for cat types but can't find it

Follow on on the question of my cat not eating much whole on antibiotics, he's lazy and not wanting to play as much should that be a cause of worry? Or it's because he's having diarrhoea and not feeling well?

When your cat has diarrhoea and/or is womiting, you need to estimate how much fluids you think the cat get. If you see that the cat isn't drinking at all and eats too little it might be time for at least a call to the vet. Is the third eyelid showing now?

How can I know if my cat is happy?

You need to know your cat well to see any changes in behavior that might be sadness or depression. Otherwise the more obvious signs are loss of apetite, itching, sleeping a lot and just lack of activity

do cats purr in their sleep

Veterinarians seem to still be split on this issue. Some say that cats can indeed purr in their sleep, while others disagree. The most common theory is that cats can purr when they are in light sleep, but once they reach deep sleep, the purring stops.
The thing to remember, however, is that cats spend most of their resting time in light sleep. This is an evolutionary advantage from their time as wild cats before they were domesticated. That means your cat may be sleeping for several hours and still purring, but this is because she hasn’t reached deep sleep yet.

How do you manage the separation of a kitten from the mom? Tomorrow I'll give away the first kitten from our first litter. They are very closed to the mommy. I'm afraid the mum will feel too much bad after separation...what do you do usually?

Normally the mother is ready to let go of her kittens when they are 12 weeks old and ready to move to their new homes. Sometimes the mother can meow for them after they are gone, but it is rarely that the mother become sad in any way. In nature she will leave them at this age so this is a natural instinct for them :)

Tycker katter det är irriterande när de har "bowties" eller på svenska, flugor på sig eller är det helt okej för de?
