Choosing Your First Indoor Cat 2007-09-01 00:12:00 Deciding to be a pet owner and caregiver is a big responsibility. Owning an indoor cat can bring years of enjoyable pleasure for you and your new companion friend. Although cats are seen as self-reliant, you as the owner will always have to be the diligent parent.If you've never owned any pets before, you should get some pet education before bringing your new furry friend home.Probably the best way to find out about caring for an indoor cat is to visit the homes of friends who have indoor cats. Your friends can be an excellent resource for what's going to be required of you to care for a cat. Other resources are community cat clubs, veterinarians, animal shelters, books, tapes, videos, and the Internet.Before you get your first cat, decide what your commitment to this relationship will be.

Preparing Your Home For Your New Kitty 2007-09-01 00:11:00 You will want to make preparations in your house before bringing home your new cat or kitten. If you have several plants in your house, you will want to make sure that they will not be harmful to your cat. There are some plants that are very poisonous to cats and you do not want your new cat to try to eat one that could be very harmful. You can go to http://www.cfainc.org/articles/plants.html for a list of plants that are harmful to your cat. If you have any of the plants listed, it would be better to remove them from your home or to an area that your cat would not be able to get into contact with the plant.Something else to watch for are small items that will peak their curiosity and encourage them to play with and then possibly swallow - such as string, rubber bands, or any other item that would be small enough for them to swallow. Swallowing these small items could cause an obstruction in their digestive system and could cause death. It is sometimes difficult to think of every small Read more:Kitty
This Ragdoll Cat Likes to Wear a Hat 2007-09-01 00:10:00 After losing our 16-year old beloved but crabby tabby cat to old age we really felt a void in our household. For years we had been attracted to the idea of adopting a Ragdoll cat, but Bunky (our tabby) was not at all receptive to the idea. We longed to fill the void in our lives with a breed of cat which is noted for being very gentle and affectionate.We began to research catteries on the internet and we were lucky enough to find a male, blue color-point Ragdoll kitten which would be available in just a few weeks. The breeder arranged to ship the kitten to us via Continental Airlines. We were a little leery about having a tiny kitten taking a plane trip, but Continental is renowned for their care in transporting animals in temperature-controlled cargo holds.When we picked up our kitty, Andy, he was just a little 2-pound ball of fluff. He was happy to come out of the pet carrier and he slept, purring in my wife's lap on the 90 minute drive home from the airport.Ragdolls are noted for t
Loss of A Beloved Cat 2007-09-01 00:07:00 Have you experienced the loss of your beloved cat? If you have, you know that it is not easy. It was a year ago today that we had to make the most difficult decision ever with one of your cats. Cuddles was only five and a half years old but she was very sick. Her liver had quit working and we found out that she was also diabetic. She had also quit eating and was drinking very little water. We made the difficult decision to let her go. That was a year ago and it was the hardest day that we have had to go through. It is still hard today as there are so many reminders of her all around, I still find myself tearing at times just thinking about her. It is very difficult to even write this, but I wanted to share as I know that there are many others out there who have gone through the same experience.Nothing prepares you for the loss of a pet, it does not matter how young or how old your cat is when it dies, it does not make it easier to cope with. As a cat lover, I have formed a loving bond
Keeping Your Cat Healthy 2007-09-01 00:02:00 Cats, by their nature, are independent and require little attention beside cleaning out the litter box, feeding and the stroking they get on their owner's lap. You can be sure that your cat will always come back to your home once he has had his fill of chasing mice and exploring the territory around your home.But just because they are independent creatures does not mean that you can ignore their health needs. Like your own health, if you want Fuzzy around for a long time, you should be aware of certain health requirements your cat needs beyond insuring they get their distemper and rabies shots.Stress is not just exclusive to humans. A move, the loss of human companionship or a change in family routine can lead Fuzzy to stop eating or claw up the furniture in frustration.As a cat ages, free radical damage occurs and the best way to keep the cat healthy is by supplying them with herbs and anti-oxidants like quercitin and rutin to maintain their vitality.We don't always think in terms o
Do Cats Grieve For Their Feline Friends? 2007-08-31 23:51:00 It is not unusual for us to have more than one pet in our lives. We have more money and leisure time to spend on our pets than we did years ago and so more and more of us are choosing to live with two or more animal companions. This is great for us, as it means that we have more furry friends in our lives to keep us sane. However this also means that animals are more likely to form bonds and relationships with other animals, whereas in the past this was not the case.Cats are not pack animals like dogs and so are quite happy being the only animal around. In fact most of the time they give other animals a wide birth. However now that more and more cats are being homed together, their relationships with each other are changing. It is now not uncommon for cats to form very close bonds with other cats in their family circle. They can now often be seen grooming each other and sleeping together on the same cushion. So we should not be surprised that they will grieve the loss of another cat, j Read more:Feline

Cat health problems are difficult to trace 2007-09-18 11:37:00 It is not easy to imagine that the graceful cat, that always falls standing, can have a serious health problem. Well, it does and the worst thing about it is that these problems
are usually not obvious, but they can become serious. Cat food is one of the factors that can influence a feline's health. If you do not use the right amount and composition, there can be unpleasant consequences for your cat.Concerning the right type of cat food that we must buy and feed to our feline friend, we should mention some important things. Contrary to what most pet owners believe, it is not a good thing to vary what the cat is eating. These small animals grow used with different types of cat food more difficultly than you might think. Their digestive system does not assimilate easily new types of food.The most reliable recommendation that one can have is to consult a vet before deciding on the amount and composition for the cat to ingest. This is necessary because there are certain factors that need
Choosing the Right Cat Food 2007-09-18 11:34:00 A cat's nutritional diet basically consists of protein, which is found in fish and meat products; taurine as well as other enzymes, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals.Being obligate carnivores, cats cannot thrive primarily on vegetarian diets although cat food manufacturers can incorporate vegetables into their diets. Carbohydrates may not also be a primary nutritional requirement in cats as well although some cat foods contain wheat, rice and corn as fillers.There are a number of reasons why you should feed your cat with a variety of both canned and dry cat food, as suggested by many nutritionists. For one, canned food contains water that helps supplement a cat's water needs, given that cats do not usually drink water on a regular basis. And just like humans, cats may also become bored with the same type of food that you may be feeding him.Moreover, although cats rarely develop food allergies, they may still be allergic to some ingredients over time. You may also want to prevent you Read more:Right
Cat Health Problems, Diseases and Illnesses 2007-09-18 11:23:00 Animals have their share of common diseases and afflictions. Cats are no different. Rest assured that many of these afflictions are not fatal and easily treated by your local veterinarian.However, there are some diseases that have no cure and can be terminal. Such diseases are often hereditary or passed from other infected animals.On the top of the list of common afflictions a cat can get is hairballs. Hairballs occur as the result of cats performing their everyday grooming routine. Dirt and hair can accumulate in abundance on the cats' tongue and will get ingested into the digestive system. There, the elements get stuck and will form a round ball of mucus over time.Typically, a cat can dislodge the hairball by coughing, but on occasion one may become lodged in the intestines creating a serious and sometimes life threatening situation. Regular grooming, specialty cat food and cat treats along with visits to the veterinarian are all great ways to both prevent and treat this common ailm Read more:Health
What You Need To Know About Cat Health and Grooming 2007-09-12 10:27:00 Proper cat health and grooming is about as essential as what you give your fuzzy pal to eat.When it comes to cat health and grooming, the closer we can come to the animal's natural ways, the healthier it will be for them.Brushing imitates the natural action of an animal's tongue and paws as it licks and scratches away the day's buildup of knots in the coat. How important is grooming for your pet?Cats are by nature very clean. Here are some of the benefits of regularly grooming your cat:* It keeps your cat's coat and skin dirt free and in good condition* It decreases the amount of hair on your clothing and furniture* Reduces hairballs* Helps allergy sufferers tolerate your cat better* Reduces damage and injury from sharp toenails* You will discover health problems before they become serious* Prevents uncomfortable and unsightly mats* Allows you to spend quality time with your catHairballs are very common in cats that groom themselves.

Safe Cat Weight Management 2007-09-12 10:26:00 If possible, your cat should be weighed monthly after reaching the age of ten years because, without proper cat weight management, you may miss the slight changes in weight that are indicative of grave underlying conditions.Felines that are not placed on a cat weight management program tend to gain weight if continued on their normal diet as they age and become more sedentary.The cats that depend on us for room and board are what they eat. Cats' basic nutritional needs include:* Protein from a meat, fish or poultry source* The essential amino acid known as Taurine* Enzymes, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals* WaterObesity is connected to a multitude of problems in cats. One of the reasons for feline obesity is that all dry cat foods are higher in carbohydrates than what a cat in the wild might consume.Cats obtain most of their energy needs from protein and fat, and carbohydrates may not be the preferred source. If your cat has a weight problem, you can try switching to a canned diet.C Read more:Weight

Living Normally With A Cat Allergy 2007-09-12 10:25:00 An allergy is a reaction to a substance in the environment, these can be a range of things such as pollen, dust mites, animal hair etc. For some very unlucky people, they have an allergy to their cat.Most allergy sufferers will suffer from more than just one allergy, should they ever be tested for them. And the belief that giving away the family cat will stop the allergy problems is often wrong as the other allergens still remain in the house.The most common cat allergen is cat hair and cat dandruff. The symptoms of these produce themselves in the same way as pollen or dust mite allergies. These often include, swollen, itchy and runny eyes, a runny nose, coughing and in severe cases Asthma.You should not even consider giving your cat away, as it is normally a combination of factors in your house that are causing you to have this allergy and therefore giving the cat away will not solve the problem.You can ease the symptoms of cat allergies and in many cases prevent them from happening i Read more:Living

Cat Breeders 2007-09-12 10:24:00 Many people buy pedigree kittens from cat breeders. A breeder is a person who professionally breeds cats to sell and/or show. Suppose you wanted to purchase a Persian kitten. You could find a Persian cat breeder in your area, or a breeder who ships kittens to anywhere in the country. Ideally, you get a breeder's name from someone else who bought a kitten from them. If not, however, you can look in your local newspaper under the pet section.Cat magazines have listings in the back, or you can call national organizations for listings of registered breeders. Your local veterinarian also can assist you.Breeders usually have a range of ages of kittens for sale, from six weeks to six months old. Kittens under three months of age are the most popular. You can expect to pay several hundred dollars for a quality pedigree kitten.You want to make sure the breeder is registered with a national cat registry and has been breeding cats for at least five years. They should be able to give you a certif
Cat Sense: fact about smell, sight, sound, taste and touch 2007-09-12 10:22:00 Smell Cats rely heavily on their sense of smell. A cat will always sniff its food before eating and scent marks are an essential part of feline communication.Cats also have a unique mechanism at the top of their mouth, which enables them to make a special analysis of air molecules. A domestic cat's sense of smell is about fourteen times as strong as a human's but not quite as good as the dog's.Sight Average cats have a visual field of view estimated at 200°, versus 180° in humans, with a binocular field (overlap in the images from each eye) narrower than that of humans. Cats have excellent night vision and can see much better than us even in a badly lit environment, though they cannot see in total darkness. Sight is key element in a cat's hunting ability. While a cat's general vision is poor (much duller than a person's) because of the particular structure of their retinas, cats have an exceptional ability to see movement.Sound Cats can hear sounds that are three times as high Read more:Sense

When should I take my cat to see a veterinarian? 2007-09-12 10:01:00 So when do you take your cat to see the veterinarian? The biggest mistake that happens when getting a new cat is not taking it to a veterinarian for a routine checkup. There are some people who think that you only have to take a cat to the veterinarian when it is sick or hurt. This is one of the biggest misconceptions of owning a cat. There is much more to caring for your cat besides just food and water.Did you know that there are a lot of diseases that can be prevented from a simple booster shot? The checkup and vaccinations should start shortly after they are born. Your veterinarian will know what vaccinations to give your cat or kitten and at what age and time. Not every cat will need to get the same vaccinations; it depends on whether you keep them indoors, outdoors, or both. Another factor is whether you have other cats or animals in the house. Let your veterinarian know what environment your cat lives in, it will give them the information they need to choose the right vaccination
Choosing the Right Veterinarian for Your Cat 2007-09-06 09:04:00 It is important when selecting a veterinarian to find one that is not only a medical expert, but also one that cares about your animal's well being. You want them to become your pet's second-best friend, as well as your friend. You also want to find a veterinarian with technicians and qualified support staff who are caring.Of course you want to find one that is conveniently located, and one with reasonable fees. The most important factor in finding a good veterinarian is one who you are comfortable with taking care of your cat's medical needs.So, the question still remains, how do I find the right veterinarian? The best way is to ask your friends, who treats their pets, as they will have a veterinarian that they really like and you will be comfortable going to one that someone else has had experience with. You could also ask other pet owners who share the same care about their pets as you do your cat.Another resource is looking in the yellow pages. If you do choose one from the yell Read more:Right
Training Your Cat to Use a Litter Tray 2007-09-06 09:01:00 Do you dread trying to get your cat to use a litter tray? Don't despair - it's really quite simple to train a cat.Any cat owner will tell you, cats are wonderful pets to have around. They are tame, cuddly and are indeed beautiful. Most cat owners want them to be indoors, to keep them safe and clean always. However, that same owner can also tell you that one of the downsides is needing to deal with their pet's waste.But that should not be a drawn out problem if you take the time and proper care in training your cat to use the litter tray.Cats should be trained early on, starting when a kitten is around 8 weeks old. Generally, a kitten that is raised together with a mother that uses the litter tray will learn to use the tray itself.Cats generally are not difficult to toilet train. For one, they have the instinct already to bury their wastes. Thus all that is needed is to provide a litter tray.Before any training commences, make sure you have the right litter box.

Kitten Care - Looking After Your First Cat 2007-09-06 08:59:00 It's always an exciting time when you first decide to own a kitten for the first time. All you can think about is the fun times you will have with your pet and how cute and lovely they will be. However it is important to consider what is involved with looking after a cat, as it is a life time responsibility of between 12 and 16 years sometimes even longer. It will involve certain costs and much time and effort on your part and if you are not fully prepared for these responsibilities, your cat will suffer and this is something no true cat lover would want.Choosing the right kitten for you is the first consideration. The temperament and health of the kitten are vitally important if both you and your cat are to live happily together. You must consider the home environment your new pet is to come into and if it will suit their personality. For instance if you are looking for a pet that will be a companion to children and be able to interact with them, you will be looking for a lively and Read more:First

Taking Cat Arthritis Seriously 2007-09-28 01:06:00 Cats are incredibly agile. They have an amazing sense of balance and they always land on their feet no matter how they started to fall. They also have a unique bone structure that allows them to absorb shocks from any impact. That is, the forelegs of a cat are not attached by bone to the rest of its skeleton. Yet, with all these wonderful attributes, cats can still suffer from arthritis.There are two identified forms of arthritis in cats.1. Traumatic Arthritis
- It is an injury acquired in a split second due to a strong impact. Such impact may come from an unseen moving car, a vicious fight against other cats, or a clumsy fall. Even with the cat's famed gracefulness, a cat can still topple down or make an awkward plunge.2. Osteo-arthritis - It is occurs mostly in the joints found in the shoulders and elbows. The possible causes of this form of arthritis are repeated traumatic arthritis, previous bone fractures, and joint dislocations. These causes have made the cat's joint more sensi Read more:Taking

Introducing your new cat with the other pets 2007-09-28 01:05:00 Before you bring a second (or even a third) cat into your home, you should make sure you are familiar with cat behaviour, both with regards to territorial behaviour and aggression, and the basic principles of cats will accept a newcomer, especially a kitten(which may perceived as less of a threat), but others will not. You will help this integration by gradually introducing the newcomer to your cat(s), keeping it separated in one room until it has gained confidence (especially if it is a kitten) and your existing cats have got used to it. The newcomer is probably unsure and may be frightened, and it is moving into new and unfamiliar territory which is already occupied (and may be defended) by the current feline inhabitants. Feed them separately to reduce competition for food, and make a fuss of your existing cats so that they do not feel neglected because of the new incumbent.If you already own a dog, the introductory process is similar to tat described above - gradual and non threaten Read more:Introducing
Cat Furniture - A Great Way To Give Your Cat Its Own Space 2007-09-28 01:04:00 It happens every night. You settle in for a lovely slumber only to be interrupted by your cat pouncing on your bed as it looks for its own nice place to rest. Sure, this would not be a problem if he was quick about it, but 15 minutes later he settles down and now you are wide awake. To keep this from happening again, give your cat its own space to rest and relax by purchasing some lovely cat furniture for it.Now, the type of cat furniture that would provide your pet with a fantastic spot to sleep the night away would be a kitty condo or cat house. This type of furnishing is made out of some type of wood that is then covered in fabric that is both durable and soft like carpeting. Usually it will be cylindrical in shape, has enclosed sleeping areas, and can be one or multiple levels high. So, if you have more than one cat, they can all share the condo at night. Another nice option for sleeping for your cat is a luxury cat bed, which is just as plush and soft as your own bed.Along with pr Read more:Furniture

Common Meanings Of Cat Behavior 2007-09-28 01:02:00 A lot of people think that cats work on their own agenda, not paying much attention to their owner - provided they have clean litter, food, and water. Cats can behave in odd manners at times, which can easily confuse their owners and make it really hard to determine what the cat wants. As much as cat behavior can be confusing, there are some ways that you can solve common cat behavior mysteries.A common behavior that almost all cats do is push their heads into any type of object that will allow them to do it. You've probably seen your cat do this before, probably against table legs, TV stands, or another object. This can be noticed more when you have other people who own animals or those with allergies over at your house. When a cat notices this, he will rub his head against the person. In doing so, he will put a touch of saliva on the individual. In a cat's mind, he owns what he puts his saliva on.By putting his saliva on something, that object or person will have a familiar scent.

Siamese cats origins and siamese cat behaviours 2007-09-28 01:02:00 Siamese cat originsDespite various other theories about its origin, this breed really did originate in Siam (now Thailand) many hundred years ago. Cats with similar pointed markings feature in the Cat Book Poems, a manuscript saved from Ayuda, the old capital of Siam, which was burned down in 1767. It is the best known of a number of manuscripts that provide a record of the native cats, dogs and birds of the region at that time. The Siamese pattern was later recorded in Russia by the naturalist Simon Pallas, in 1793. However, the cats he encountered were of much darker colouring. This could be explained by the fact that the Siamese points darken in colder climates. It is not known whether the Russian cats were descended from original Siamese imports, or whether the Siamese gene mutation (now commonly known as the Himalayan gene) had occupied naturally in Russia, Siamese cats were already in Britain before 1871, for in that year they featured at the first National Cat Show in London.

How to train your cat with clicker training 2007-09-28 01:01:00 Using a clicker is the most effective way of training your cat, as it will know exactly which behaviour earned it a reward. Without hearing a click during a particular action, then the cat may not know, to which action it is being rewarded for. If you just reward your cat in a normal way with a treat, then it may not know what it is being rewarded for. It may think it is being rewarded for a bad action.Cat clicker training is often linked with conventional condition, where cats associate sound with food and operational condition and where cats execute movements for food.The clicker is certainly much more effective than a verbal command because a cat can hear clicker sounds more clearly than a voice. This is because the tone of a human voice changes, whereas the tone of a clicker is always the same. The click is brief and concise, whereas a voice, phrase or a word, can be quite long in a cats mind. To say "good boy" will take more time than a click.When using a clicker, a cat can be suc
Your Cat - A Stress Reliever 2007-09-28 01:01:00 Did you know that your cat is a good source to relieve stress? Well they are, and much more than that. And the truth be told they are also the cause of stress. Especially when they are sick and have you worried and stressed out about them, or even when they are just being totally unruly. But I do not want to focus on them creating stress; I want to share how they eliminate stress for our everyday lives.It could be the gentle nudge of their nose to get your attention to the beautiful sound of their purr that will relieve any stress that has built up throughout the day. Animals also have a keen sense of knowing when you are not feeling yourself. I have noticed that my cats are very much in tune with my daily activities and do know my routine and know when something is not right.Have you ever had such a stressful day that you just didn't know how you were going to get rid of this horrible feeling? I have been there many times before, and I have tried so many types of relaxation technique
Cat behaviour problems and what you can do about it 2007-09-28 01:00:00 Cats can be ill tempered and mean at their worst, but even the most annoying problems
have a remedy. Listed below are six of the most common behavioural problems in cats along with some relevant solutions for them.1. Clawing your furnishings and carpetJust like rodents need to gnaw, cats need to sharpen their claws. Cat's claws never stop growing, and what they are actually doing when they sharpen their claws is removing the outer layer of the claw. Some people do choose to de-claw their cats when having this problem, even though this is not theoretically correct. It is possible that an indoor living cat could venture into the outside world one day, and if it has no claws, it has no form of defence. Before considering having your cat de-clawed, purchase a scratching post. If your cat has a favourite member of the family, then you can hang an old sock of that person on the scratching post to make it smell familiar. You can also sprinkle catnip on the post. This is to attract the cat to
How to litter train your cat for a clean house 2007-09-28 00:59:00 It can be a daunting task when it comes to litter-training a cat. However, it is very important that they are trained, after all, you would not want them to soil your bed or furniture.It is important to teach them from being kittens how to use their litter tray and then they will certainly continue to use the tray as they grow older.Listed below are some basic requirements when it comes to successfully litter-training your cat:1. Familiarize your cat with the "safe" areas within your houseWhen your cat is at a young age, it is possible to box-train them. Place them in a large short sided box where they can play and litter. This is so that they will not roam around the house freely when they are not properly trained yet. Be sure to carry out all hygiene rules and clean the box when the young cat has littered. By giving the cat free rein on every area or room in your house, they will presume that they can litter everywhere.Firstly, familiarise your cat with certain areas of your house wh
How to prepare your home for your new baby cat 2007-09-28 00:58:00 It is important to ensure that your home is prepared, before bringing your cat or kitten home for the first time. You need to be sure that when your new cat has arrived at you home, that you will be secure in the knowledge that you and your home are ready for it, and you can spend time playing together and getting to know each other in a comfortable environment.1. Think like a catA good thing to do, if you have never owned a cat before, is to crouch down on the floor and survey the room from a cat's perspective. Look at the things that may annoy the cat. Check for potential danger to the cat. Using a torch, check underneath the sofa and look in smaller areas that a human cannot easily reach, but might be tempting for a cat to explore. Keep a list of the potential hazards that you discover.2. Remove temptation and hidden dangersBegin by moving any small breakables, irreplaceable objects, or valuable items out of reach. Remember that cats can climb or jump, therefore out of reach is a t

Each cats' capacity to learn differs. So do not be disappointed if it is taking longer for your cat to understand certain things than you have envisaged.Potty training will depend on the conditions of the cats' living environment. Cats that are pampered, or spoilt and live indoors can certainly be potty trained.

After a week, place an old bundle of newspapers, flattened cardboard box or floor mat undern Read more:human
Cat behavior problems - Cat spraying 2007-09-28 00:55:00 Cats may urinate in other parts of the house because:1) They have cystitis (a bladder infection) 2) They have litter aversion 3) They are afraid to use the litter tray because it is in a high-traffic area and they are frequently disturbed 4) Another cat has used the tray or another cat chases or otherwise intimidates them when they try to approach the tray 5) They are marking part of the house as their territory.Urine may be sprayed from a standing position or deposited from a squat. Spraying is nit usually associated with ill health. It is a way of marking territory or of expressing aggression by cats that do not have the confidence to engage in direct conflict. Cats that are spraying or urinating in the house are often very anxious.DEALING WITH URINATING IN THE HOUSETake the cat to the vet for a check-up.
