Be mindful of head tilting, dizziness or disorientation & Pay attention to your cat’s appetite

Be mindful of head tilting, dizziness or disorientation. All of these may be symptoms of a neurological disorder. If present, your cat should be brought to the vet immediately.






Pay attention to your cat's appetite. If you have noticed that your cat has not been eating much, or has been eating more than normal, there may be something wrong. If your cat shows no interest in food for a full day, there could be a range of issues from eating the neighbors' food to kidney problems. On the other hand, if you cat is suddenly ravenous, it could be a sign of diabetes or some other health issue. Head to the vet if your cat does not want to   eat for more than 24 hours

This is painful inflammation of the lower urinary tract that has the potential to be fatal quickly. FLUTD has a number of causes from decreased water intake and urine retention to viruses, bacteria, or diet. Diet is especially important with neutered cats as some dry foods may causes urinary infection.

Pregnant Cats

• How old is the cat ?

A very young cat (under one year) or an older cat (eight years and older) may have a hard time with birth, with the possibility of deformed or stillborn kittens, or the death of the queen. 

• What is the cat's general physical condition ?

If she is in an overall good condition and in late-term pregnancy, you may decide to let the pregnant continue to parturition (birth), depending on other factors. 

• How "far along" is the queen's pregnancy 

Although early and mid-term spay and abortion of pregnancy cats is common, late-term abortion is generally not done. If this is your own cat, you can estimate how far along she is by the date of her last estrus cycle (heat). Otherwise, a veterinarian can estimate the term for you.

Angry Cat

When your cat is angry, look out. If you don't, you might just get slapped with a tail or witness your other pet get spit at and pounced on. Kitties get angry and agitated for lots of reasons, from a lack of petting to an intruder in the house 

Reasons and Solutions

Late feedings, a splash of water and a lack of attention commonly result in a bit of tail whipping from you feline. The behavior isn't serious, and she'll get over whatever bothered her in no time. Hissing, Screeching, Spitting and an aggressive appearance are more serious. Bringing another animals into the house can cause this behavior, as can the smell of strange animals on your clothes, strangers in your house and the appearance of animals outside. Always introduce new animals slowly, by keeping the resident cat and new animal separated for at least two or three days, then feeding them both treats when they see one another for  the first time. If your cat is acting out at other people,smells or animals outside, distract her by making a sudden noise or shuffle her into another room. If a cat fight breaks out, a quick squirt of water will usually do the trick to separated the two.

How to know kitty is Happy ?

Cats literally "say" they're happy. Vocal kitties tell you all about it, and engage in long drawn out conversations. Generally the higher-pitched sounds are "happy" while lower pitched can have a bit of frustration and be more demanding. Quiet cats may express happiness with silence, and vocalizes more to express unhappiness. Confusing, yes! But that's why we love our enigmatic felines! While purrs aren't always happy, for the most part they can be an indication of feline contentment or even bliss. Kitty chortles and trills-that "prrrrupttt!" sound many cats make, is a very good indication of cat happiness .

How To Know Kitty Is Sad ?

It hurts to see a sad cat, and owners need to ask themselves not only "is my cat sad" but why, and how can kitty be cheered up. Each cat is different, and not all cats act like happy cat clowns. Losing a best cat friend can prompt the kitty to mourn, and a change in work schedule or favorite person leaving for school might prompt separation anxiety. Be alert to these signs of cat sadness. 

Unhappy cats often become very vocal and literally complain with low-pitched mournful yowls. Actually, the cats who are normally vocal may become quiet, while quiet cats turn up the volume. Purrs don't always indicate happiness and an unhappy kitty might actually purr more as a way to comfort himself.

Mighty hunter case that catch everything from toys to bugs, mice or frogs, often share the bounty with those they love. Kitties with Present you with this bounty deserve praise.

expert hunters adept at capturing critters, be they a feather toy on the end of a staring a moth at the window-or even a mouse or other prey creature. These prizes often are presented to the cat’s owner with well-deserve pride. They may be displayed on the back step.

I have heard of owner who awake and are greeted with dozens of toy mice, paper balls, or other "prizes" scattered all over the bed. serene Adores playing with the soft, Mylar "sparkle balls" and leaves these presents for me in my shoes. she's also been known to leave crickets (or the body part, anyways) as a special gift. The one time she came nose-to-whiskers with a live mouse, she seemed surprised by the interloper and at a loss what to do. Other times, cat hunting results in prey animals lined up on the back porch especially for the owner. The indoor-outdoor cat may bring the prey into the house. Cat hunting skill doesn't depend on hunger. Even well-fed indoor only kitties with overflowing food bowls indulge in the practice.

How and why a cat purr ?

How cats Purr?

Experts still haven't nailed down the exact mechanism that creates the purr, which happens on the in hale and exhale for a constant sound, Cats that lose their "meow" (exhale) due to injury are often still able to purr, buts cats with laryngeal muscles, which control (glottis), create the purr sound. Studies have shown that this laryngeal muscles movement is controlled by a unique "neural oscillator" in the cat's brain.

Why does a cat purr?

Scientists believe that cats purr as a sign of communication. You have probably noticed your cat purring when you pet him or her. people usually think that their cat is purring because they are content. While this could be the case, it is most likely that your cat is trying to communicate with you.




Have you ever noticed your cat purring when they are at the Vet's office or when they are frightened? Cats are known to purr when purr when they are feeling distressed, once again they are using their purr as a method of communication.

If you have ever been around a mom cat and her newborn kittens, you might have noticed the kittens purring while nursing. The kittens do not have the ability to cry and nurse at the same time. However, they can purr and nurse at the same time without any problem. The mom cat will often purr back as a sign of reassurance to her kittens.


Just as a newborn baby cries to communicate with their parents, cats and kittens do the same. They do not have the ability to vocally express themselves, so purring serves as their communication.

Cats sleeping

The first thing you should realize is that cats are most between disk and down, which means that they sleep mostly during the day and become active around twilight. This can come as quite a shock if you're bringing a new kitty home for the first time, Your cat will waste no time investigating and getting into trouble-usually while you're fast asleep! But as soon your cat is done with breakfast, as the rest of the world winds up for action, you'll find him winding down for a long day of slumber.

As sleep champs, felines typically sleep up to 16 hours a day. Because they are most vulnerable during sleep, the place your cat chooses to snooze must be a secure and trusted location. There is no greater loving compliment that a cat choosing your lap for a favorite sleeps spot.

The offspring of this breeding did indeed resemble the black leopard of Indian. The name came from the Indian city of Bombay (now Mumbai). Horne called her creation the "patent leather kid with the new penny eyes".
