How to introduce cats to each other?

My boyfriend and I rescued a cat 2 years ago that had previously only had 7 kittens, maintained two and stayed with one, so that cats are related.

Recently we have brougt my cat into your home to meet his brothers, and only met once and totally I freaked! It was a hissing and grunting competition. I was wondering how you go about introducing cats to each other (though related) in a healthy so that you do not lose the trust of their cats or end with a constant quarral cat?

Hi hun, do not worry - this is totally normal! Due to who have not lived together for 2 years, in all honesty, may not even know they are related. And even if they do, the battles of the hierarchy will still exist in the same way that cats do not related. Although they are all men, will have to be a hierarchy in place if you are planning to move in with her boyfriend.

If you not planning to move in with her boyfriend, and is not necessary to take the cat, just leave me alone if I were you. Being able to carry everything can be very traumatic for cats and really are best avoided unless absolutely necessary. Let's say you're moving with your boyfriend or whether you need to bring your cat for her .... we all  have a place in the hierarchy. This is the reason they hiss and frown - all they want to be 'top cat'.

Most likely your cat have to take the third place though! He is after all an intruder in your eyes! This is something we should let them work out for themselves. Do not worry about screaming - eventually accepts it and is completely normal.

Try not to intervene too much - if you keep 'defending' your cat or cats telling her boyfriend outside the problem will get worse because the cats from her boyfriend will see the kitten as a threat. Her boyfriend cats will think you are taking the side of your cat, and this will make them anxious. Honestly, Most cats will find a way to live with each other, even if only tolerate the presence of others.

If it helps, I took my kitten to see my mom 3 cats (My childhood pet!). Oh, boy, were not impressed with that? My kitten was very fiesty, trying to rule the roost - and my mother's cats had none of that! After a couple of hours, my pussy, finally learned that he ranked 4th in the kitty. Once he had accepted his position, he was ok. In fact, that same day when all slept together up!

Obviously because your cat is 2 years old, is not as submissive as my pussy, so it will take a little longer. So in a nutshell, my advice is this: If you have to take the cat to groom round, only you do not. Even if you spend a weekend there and get along with the other cats, you can return to where if you separate them again. It can also be very stressful for your cat - trust me, he preferred to stay home just because one night that led to a new house with new smells, sights and two cats unknown hostile.

Cats are really creatures of habit and prefer their own territory. If you have to take her to her boyfriend, then my advice is let down to work. Supervise, but gave hiss and swat each other. It is natural, is not dangerous, and is the only way they learn to tolerate.

Comfort of your cat regularly, and try to comfort the other cats at the same time. This not only show the cats "as" all equally, but also mix their scents, which helps the process of introduction. Good luck! xx Emmie You can read the following: http://www.fourpaws.org/pages/adopting_pages/introducing_cats http://www.cuhumane.org/topics/catcat.html. html http://www.vetontheweb.co.uk/pet-clinic-detail.asp?id=471 http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&A=960&S=2 www.littlebigcat.com/?action=library&act=show&item=cattocatintroductions http://

No. Many cats are lactose intolerant. Lactose intolerance is a common form of maldigestion. A kitten has the enzyme lactase, which breaks down the sugar in milk called lactose. However, as a cat ages, it generally stops producing lactase. When your cat consumes milk products, the lactose is not digested and the symptoms of maldigestion occur.

can my cat get into a termite tented house from the outside?

my neighbors are having their house tented, my cat lives outdoors. is there anyway she can get into the house? because im concerned that she will and she'll hurt herself.

Can you contact the company that is tenting the house? They should be able to assure you they'll make the house secure.
If your cat is an outside cat, can you at least put it in a carrier or room (garage maybe) while they are tenting the house? I know he won't be happy but it will keep him safe.

Some Essential Products That You Need For Your Cat

There are some items which no cat owner should be without. Cats require relatively little maintenance but there are some things which are necessary to have if you want your pet to be happy, healthy, and safe, the first is food.

When your cat is still a kitten, it's important that you feed it food specifically designed for kittens. Their digestive systems aren't fully matured yet, so they can't handle adult food. As it gets older, you can switch to adult formula food, and when your cat reaches its later years you should switch to foods made specifically for elderly felines. Avoid giving your cat milk on a regular basis. While it's one of cats' most favorite treats, milk can give them urinary problems. Also, don't feed your cat exclusively with scraps and people food. Cat food is designed to provide complete nutrition, and giving your cat something else may deprive them of essential nutrients.

You're going to need food and water dishes for you cat, of course. Almost any bowl or dish will work so long as you clean them regularly. You may want to invest in a mat to place underneath the bowls to help contain spills and messes.

The litter tray is an all-important cat accessory. You can train your cat to go to the bathroom outside, and even cats accustomed to litter boxes will do this on their own, but if your cat stays indoors then you need to invest in a litter tray. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some have hoods which give your cat some privacy and protect you from having to see them going about their business. Plus, these hoods help contain odors. There are even automated litter trays which scoop the litter for you.

Cat litter is another important and necessary product for cat owners. Cat litter has come a long way in recent years. Now the most popular brands are designed to clump to make removal easier and better contain annoying odors.

A scratching post is a very good idea if you don't want your cat to tear up your davenport. Cats need to scratch in order to stretch out and keep their claws in top shape. Scratching posts are usually made from rope or carpeting. If you have a larger cat, you'll want to make sure that the scratching post is big enough. There are also pads made from corrugated cardboard infused with cat litter which no normal cat can ignore. These kinds are replaced whenever the cat totally tears them apart, which they will! They're cheap and available at pet stores and your local super center.

Toys are a good idea to keep you cat occupied. Favorite cats toys usually have catnip inside.

Flea control is important, especially if you have an outdoor cat. Collars are effective, but make sure you get one that'll break away or stretch so your cat doesn't get strangled. Sprays work, too, but these can freak out your cat. Medicines which require just a few applications to the back of the neck seem to work best. They subject your cat to very little stress and last a long time.

You'll want to get a comb or brush for you cat. Make sure the teeth on it are rounded so you don't irritate their skin. Grooming your cat will help reduce shedding and encourage a healthy coat.

Cats are a great pet and will provide years and years of happiness and joy for their owners. With just a few essential products for your cat, you'll have a friend for life.

How to Choose the Ideal Cat Litter Trays and Accessories for Your Feline Friend

Without the proper cat litter and trays, a cat can create quite an unpleasant odour in the home. That’s why it’s so important to choose the right kinds of cat litter trays and cat litter from the start. Knowing what kind of litter absorbs best, what kind of odour control works best, and what types of trays are available can be an easy choice when you know what to look for. Here are some tips and trick for finding the best cat litter and trays for your pet.

Cat litter that absorbs moisture and odour from your cat’s urine is the very best type of litter to choose. If the litter does a poor job of doing these two things, then the cat litter trays can become an odour trap. No matter how many times you clean it, the smell can remain. Fresh n Easy Cat Litter Granules prevents that from happening because the granules please even the most finicky cats with its comfortable texture and by stopping odours before they start. Moisture is wicked away into the granules, leaving a fresh scent in its place. Clean cat trays make for a clean-smelling home!

Cat trays come in all shapes and sizes, both with and without covers. Many people prefer to buy an uncovered toilet litter tray for their kittens so that they can easily get in and out of the trays without hurting themselves. However, when kittens grow into adulthood, covered toilet litter trays are often the preferred style. These types of trays offer the safety and privacy of a cover and offer the added benefit of keeping litter odours in check. Some cat trays come with flaps and filters for maximum control of odours.

Cat litter tray accessories such as odour control and bags can help owners keep their home from smelling like a toilet litter tray. Products such as the 10 X Extra Large Litter Tray Bags offer a quick and easy way to dispose of cat waste so it doesn’t stay in the litter tray for too long. Also of great help with odour control in your cat litter trays are tray liners. The New Igloo Cat Litter Tray Liners Pack 5 product (which works with the Igloo cat litter tray) is a great way to keep your cat’s tray smelling like new. The liner keeps your litter tray clean. Spare filters for the “Bill” Cat Litter Tray are another type of superior odour control product available.

A Cat Litter Tray Toilet Clean Mat can keep the litter inside the tray and prevent it from getting tracked all around the house. With special raised “nubs”, these mats help gently open up your cat’s paw pads to release the litter before it gets deposited on the floor. Another great way to keep odours at bay!

Choosing the right combination of cat litter trays, litter scoops and mats, and accessories can keep your home smelling fresh any time of the day. Buy products like these and your home will never give away the fact that you have a cat!

My cat will use the bathroom in his litter box but, he will not cover it! He is over 5 years old and I have used multiple types of litter. What's going on? He also scratches outside (the litter box), after he goes...even though he has no front claws. Yes, I scoop out the littler at least once a day.

you got to teach some cats

PETS, PEOPLE AND PARASITES

 Over the years the tendency of keeping companion animals for pleasure, security and sports across the world has increased tremendously. Domestic dog has been one of the most widely kept working and companion animal in human history. A dog is considered to be the man’s best friend. Watchman qualities of dogs have come in for a measure of recognition and strength in prevailing system of animal placements and ratings. A dog is just not a pet but very much treated like the part of the family. They act as companion, friend or even fashion accessory. The emotional value of the pet is much higher. A positive pet experience is highly beneficial to children. Taking care of a dog can help children develop social skills, build self esteem and self confidence. Healthy companion animals are significant in human-animal bond and may have a positive influence on family’s health. So, Owning of a pet can be a wonderful and rewarding experience for you and your family. Consequently, the pet industry is booming in India and abroad. But a family keeping a pet (dogs and cats) without proper health care may be exposed to variety of harmful parasitic infections during life time. To keep companion animal healthy and free of parasites, an optimum level of veterinary intervention is needed.

Zoonoses (the diseases shared by man and animals) can pose a serious threat to the families with unprotected pets and may put not only children, pregnant females and adults but also to the veterinarians and immuno-compromised individuals at greater risk. You share many things with your pet but certainly disease should not be one of them. Because of the wide publicity about emerging diseases like bird flu, mad cow disease and others, the veterinarians frequently receive the questions from the people about potential zoonotic diseases transmitted from dogs and cats. Of newly emerging and remerging infectious diseases, over 75% are of zoonotic origin. India has approximately 25 million dogs, (as per census 2002) with an estimated dog: man ratio of 1:36, while a survey in 2003 reported that about 17% house holds have a pet/domesticated dog. Dogs fall into four broad categories: pets (restricted and supervised); family dogs (partially restricted, wholly dependent); community dogs (unrestricted, partially dependent); and feral dogs (unrestricted, independent). About 80% dogs in India would fall into the last 3 categories. The societal change has driven the growth in pet population. The dog population is increasing by 26% per year. Increasing number of single executives and women and single child families or parent whose children have settled abroad kept pets. Mostly the pets are infected with parasites, if come in contact with people may transmit the disease and significantly interfere with the relationship between people and their pets.

 However, most pet owners are simply unaware of need to protect their pets and families from these parasites. There is urgent need for pet education and counseling. Every year, millions of dogs and cats are treated for internal and external parasitic infestations in Metropolitan cities in India. Recently, > 15,000 cases of dogs in a month have been registered for treatment purpose in veterinary clinics at GADVASU, Ludhiana. A zoonotic infection is caused by the transmission of round worms in the intestine of dogs and cats to people. Growing popularity of pets has resulted in wide spread contamination of the environment (soil) with hookworm and ascarid infective larvae and eggs. Principal risk factors for human disease include presence of dog in the house, geophagia and dirt eating habit (pica) of children .Children play habits and their attraction to pets especially dogs  put them at higher risk than the adults. A condition called VLM (Visceral Larva Migrans) develops in children; main organs affected are eye, lung, liver, and brain where infection can cause visual impairment, neurological and other tissue damages. Risk with cats is less due to their defecation habits. In another condition CLM (Cutaneous Larva Migrans), human gets infection through infective larvae either direct penetration of skin or through ingestion. The most common seen is of elders and children moving barefooted in the field or lawns or in the public parks or garden where dogs often defecate. Plumbers, gardeners and sunbathers are also most likely to suffer from skin manifestations. Hookworm eggs can develop into infective larvae in the soil as little in 5 days and ascarid eggs within 2 weeks depending on temperature and humidity. An ascarid female can produce >100,000 eggs per day contaminating the environment. Once they become infective, remain in the environment for years together. Most cases of human ascarid and hookworm infections can be prevented by practicing good personal hygiene, regular deworming of pets and keeping the children away from the areas that may be contaminated with feces. The regular veterinary care of pets is of utmost importantance.

 Ingestion of cat feces, raw meat and unwashed fruits and vegetables may transmit  toxoplasmosis in man. The populations at risk are pregnant females and the person under going immunosuppressive therapy. Once a pregnant female is infected, the child will be borne with many abnormalities like loss of vision, mental retardation, and loss of hearing. Her family has to bear the life long agony of rearing of an abnormal child. The pregnant females at times have miscarriage and still births. But owning a cat does not mean that you are infected with the disease. It is unlikely that you would be exposed to the parasite by touching an infected cat because cats usually do not carry the parasite on their fur. However, precaution has to be taken that cat may remain indoors and is not fed raw or uncooked meat. Treatment of infected cat and proper disposal of the feces play a significant role in the elimination of the disease.

Hydatid disease is of tapeworm origin and found in dogs. In humans, it affects the organs by putting pressure on it resulting into organ failure. Man gets infection by ingestion of eggs through contaminated soil. A few infections like cryptosporidiosis, giardiosis and external parasites can not be ignored either and precaution should be taken accordingly.

hi everyone
i recently just gave my fish away
for some reason (too hard to explain) i am not allowed to keep them anymore

What about a pet rat, from your local pet store?
They are cute, and easy to care for! They are loyal and independant, and they love to be held (once they get used to you!)

Hope i helped!
