Tips for a Cat in Heat
September 14th 2009 17:58
If you have a female cat that is in heat or that you think may be in heat, it's best that you know how to handle it. If you don't want to get the cat spayed, you'll just have to deal with the cat going into heat for the extent of you caring for the cat.
You'll want to make sure that you keep all male cats away from your female. If you have un-neutered male cats, it's a good idea to put the female or the male in another room, behind a closed door. Unless you want a litter of kittens, you'll want to do everything you can to keep the female away from any male.
Keep the female in the house, even if the cat is regularly an inside/outside cat, keep the cat inside.
You may consider leaving the cat in the bathroom or a tiled floor for easy cleanup.
Keep all windows and doors closed, and be careful not to let the cat out. Typically, cats who are in heat will try to escape.

Decision of Keeeping Your Cat Outside
September 9th 2009 12:44
There are many risks of leaving your cat outside. He’ll be at higher risk of injury, diseases, and illness. He’ll have higher risk of lowered lifespan due to illness, car accident, other animals, and people. You just don’t know what your cat can get into when he’s outside roaming your yard and neighborhood.
The decision is yours to make, but it’s always best to make sure that your weigh the pros and the cons of keeping your cat inside or outside.
Personally, I wouldn’t risk the life of the cat to stay outside, but when supervised, I don’t see why it would be as big of a concern. You just can’t control your cat when you can’t supervise him, and you can control other factors that can cause potential harm.

Himalayan Cat Pictures and Info
August 10th 2009 20:22
Himalayan cats are similar to Persian cats except they have blue eyes and a different point coloration. Himalayan cats are considered a different breed than the Persian cats.
Appearance
Himalayan cats have a round body with short legs, making it harder for them to jump as high as other cats.
Himalayans have very large, round eyes; and due to their faces being shorter than other cat breeds, you'll have to wipe their faces by the eyes and nose regularly to keep it clean.
You may find that most pet quality Himalayan cats have longer noses than those you may see at a cat show. Sometimes pet quality Himalayans will have smaller eyes, too.
They have long hair and require daily brushings to keep their hair looking the healthiest and its best. Generally, the fur is going to be white or cream, but some of the points come in seal, blue, lilac, chocolate, red, and cream, as well as tabby or tortoiseshell-patterned. Generally the chocolate and lilac points are the hardest to product.
Temperament
Himalayan cats are sweet-tempered, intelligent, social, and generally good companion cats. These cats can be active as well.
Health Issues
Himalayans are prone to Polyscystic Kidney Disease (PKD), but a genetic test can reveal wither or not the cat has the PKD gene. If the cat has the PKD gene, it's best that it be spayed or neutered and not bred.

Siamese Cat Appearance, Temperament, & Pictures
August 7th 2009 19:54
Appearance
Siamese cats have elegant, slim, flexible, and well muscled bodies. Their heads have a triangular shape with a thin snout, large ears, almond-shaped blue eyes, and large thin ears. The breed has short, fine, glossy hair that is tight to the body.
Siamese cats are known for their color scheme and pointed pattern. They are born very light cream or white, but as Siamese kittens age, they begin to darken to a dark brown, almost black color in the face and tail. Siamese cats generally will have seal point, chocolate, lilac, or a diluted chocolate point. It has been found that Siamese cats in warmer climates have lighter coat colors than those in cooler climates.
Temperament
As for their temperament, Siamese cats are very affectionate and intelligent, as well active and playful. They are known for their social natures. Siamese cats enjoy being with people, and are actually known as being extroverts. They can be very sensitive and nervous, as well, which means they do not adapt to strangers, changes, or new environments very well.
These cats can be very vocal with a loud, low-pitched voice.
You'll find that a Siamese cat will be more prone to bonding to one person in the home. And, unlike most cats, they are not as active at night, which could be because of their blue eyes lacking the proper structure to amplify dim lighting.

Tattooing Your Cat
July 15th 2009 19:21
Although, it's perfectly normal to ear tattoo your dog or notch the ear of a feral cat after spaying, it's strange to see a Sphinx cat with a tattoo of an Egyptian god tattooed on its chest. Anyway... I like it... Cute picture whether it's real or fake.
Just remember that it is not safe to go to a tattoo artist to have such an image tattooed on your pet. If real (which I highly doubt) a highly skilled professional much be sought out[ Click here to read more ]

Training Your Cat to Walk on Lead
May 27th 2009 19:17
Believe it or not you can train your cat to walk on a leash. It takes time, effort, and patience, but it is possible. I never thought about it until my days volunteering and a gentleman spent weekend after weekend walking up and down the cat isles socializing his cat and leash training it. Many months later, after he was successful, he brought in a kitten and was trying again with the kitten.
He was successful each time, but only because he had been working with the cats at home before he began bringing them into the store. If you throw the cat in a harness and go straight to a place with many distractions, you're bound to fail, but if you spend your time carefully training your cat, you should have no problems walking her up and down the isles at the pet store[ Click here to read more ]

Feline Aggression
May 12th 2009 15:59
Aggression in dogs is something you hear about more often, but the one thing that avid cat owners have dealt with at least once in their life, is an aggressive cat. Not every cat owner has had an aggressive cat, but we've all heard of them. I had one, my aunt had one, you've at least heard of them, and although they do not pose a direct threat to an awake adult, they can do some damage to a small child or sleeping baby. Heck, even a sleeping adult.
You can actually treat feline aggression, but it can potentially take some time and some work, all depending on why your cat is aggressive and what is potentially causing the mean behaviors. When dealing with an aggressive cat, you will need to determine the cause first because what helps on cat that's upset with a new feline in the house, isn't going to help another cat who's upset about your new work/school/life schedule[ Click here to read more ]

Senior Cat Diet
May 6th 2009 15:21
When you are going through the senior years with your cat, you want to make sure that you have a good, high quality diet. As cats get older, they don't have as much energy and their immune system just isn't as good as it was when they were, say, 5 years old
