The owner of the animals was arrested and booked into the Erath County Jail after she refused to cooperate with law enforcement officials and allegedly attacked a city code enforcement officer.<br /><br />Iris Jean Edwards, 59, was arrested for assault of a public servant, a third degree felony punishable by a maximum fine of $10,000 and two to 10 years in jail. She was also charged with interfering with public duties, a class B misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum fine of $2,000 and up to 180 days in jail.<br /><br />Edwards was released from custody Sunday after posting a $5,000 bond for the assault charge and $1,000 for interfering with duties.<br /><br />According to Police Chief Roy Halsell, Edwards was arrested after authorities received a call reporting that a dead dog was in the street in a neighborhood near her home. When animal control officer Frank Morecock responded, eight dogs were seen roaming in the immediate area. When asked about the dogs’ owner, neighbors pointed in the direction of Edwards’ home.<br /><br />Halsell said when Morecock went to Edwards’ residence, she began throwing the animals inside of the house. Morecock explained that city ordinance states that only three dogs are allowed within city limits and she would have to relinquish five of the dogs to be in compliance. Edwards refused and the code officer requested assistance from the Stephenville Police Department.<br /><br />Due to Edwards’ continued refusal to cooperate, a seizure order was obtained from Judge Shawnee Bass, which allowed officers to enter the property and take control of the animals. When presented with the order, Edwards punched Morecock in the chest, arm and face.<br /><br />Upon entering the home, officers were faced with conditions unfit for animal or human inhabitance.<br /><br />“There was a horribly strong odor in the home. Feces were everywhere. The dogs were thin and drawn, obviously underfed. They were covered in fleas and mange and some were even running a fever,” Halsell said. “Closed in one room of the home were 18 barking dogs, living in their own excrement. Officers found a pit bull locked in a pantry or small closet. Officers also found 11 puppies and 11 cats which were underfed and covered in mange.”<br /><br />Halsell also said that once inside the home, Morecock was attacked by a fearful feline.<br /><br />Perhaps more shocking was the dead dog found inside the home and the skulls of four dead animals littering the yard outside the residence.<br /><br />All 40 animals were taken from the home and moved to the Erath County Humane Society where they remained Monday morning. Shelter manager Judy Hallmark said she was present when the animals were removed from the home and conditions at the residence were unimaginable.<br /><br />“The bad thing is, in cases like this, the people involved think they are somehow helping the animals,” Hallmark said. “They tell themselves if they bring them to the shelter, they will be killed. The truth is, the conditions they were living in are far more cruel.”<br /><br />Hallmark said overcrowding has become a bigger issue with the additional 40 animals.<br /><br />“We can feed the animals, that is not a problem,” Hallmark said. “The problem is we have nowhere to put them.”<br /><br />While the fate of their owner is uncertain, the fate of the animals is now in the hands of the shelter. Hallmark said that due to their condition, many would have to be euthanized.<br /><br />“There are a few of them that we will be able to save, Hallmark said. “Sadly, the rest will never have a chance to be adopted.”<br /><br />The judge said that a hearing would decide if Edwards could be reunited with some of the animals.<br /><br />“If it is determined that she can care for the animals, she could be able to get back the number of animals that the ordinance allows,” Bass said.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/pics/et1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/pics/et2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><!-- / message --><!-- sig --> ______________________________________________________<br /><br />If you want to help and donate and/or adopt an animal in and around Erath County, the following links are a way to start!<br /><br /><div id="post_message_3975"><span style="font-size:180%;"><b>Erath County Humane Society:</b></span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/TX1178.html" target="_blank">http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/TX1178.html</a><br /><br /><a href="http://search.petfinder.com/shelterSearch/shelterSearch.cgi?shelterid=TX1178" target="_blank">http://search.petfinder.com/shelterS...elterid=TX1178</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.erath.net/humane/" target="_blank">http://www.erath.net/humane/</a><br /><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-964525209735555883?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-17490271319371617492008-04-23T12:18:00.001-06:002008-04-23T12:18:41.596-06:00If you plan to adopt a dog or a cat or a puppy or a kitten in the Erath County, Texas, Stephenville area, these are the links to start with:<br /><br /><span style="font-size: 180%;"><b>Erath County Humane Society:</b></span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/TX1178.html" target="_blank">http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/TX1178.html</a><br /><br /><a href="http://search.petfinder.com/shelterSearch/shelterSearch.cgi?shelterid=TX1178" target="_blank">http://search.petfinder.com/shelterS...elterid=TX1178</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.erath.net/humane/" target="_blank">http://www.erath.net/humane/</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-1749027131937161749?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-4323516515245875772008-04-16T18:18:00.001-06:002008-04-16T18:18:55.173-06:00Ready for an update??

It's not really the best place for a momma cat to be nursing her lil ones, so I decided to foster them, since my kitten cages are empty anyways.<br /><br />The kittens are late this year. Usually I'm crowded with orphans at this time. Sometimes they come in end of January already. I'm not complaining though, I'm not getting bored!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_mommacat1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><span style="text-decoration:

id="post_message_3062">Now that Luise and Hissyfit are back at the shelter, here comes Meeh.<br /><br />Animal Control just brought her. She was hunkered down between a car and a bush, shaking. Somebody called it in. Thank you for doing that, whoever you are!<br /><br />She's emaciated, dehydrated, looked like she had fallen into a sewer and is anemic from flea infestation. She was ice cold.<br /><br />I warmed her up, bathed her, plugged the fleas off her, gave her electrolytes, antibiotics, cleaned the eyes and treated them as well (the infection is minor, looked worse than it was, because the eyes were crusted shut, but no pus behind yet...she was found just in time), and now she's clean, warm and signs of life are starting to show.<br /><br />If she was not in such bad shape due to leukemia or another illness, and "just" due to neglect or because she might be feral, then she has a chance.<br /><br />Her cries sound like Meeh Meeh Meeh, so that's her name:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_meeh1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_meeh.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-6751777869733255109?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-39224720647378682252007-12-03T20:20:00.000-06:002007-12-04T08:03:18.242-06:00<center><br /><object height="355" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/LQa5FjUHp-w&amp;rel=1"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/LQa5FjUHp-w&amp;rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="355" width="425"></embed></object><br /><hr /><br /><p></p><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_luiseolliver.jpg" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/hissyfit.jpg" class="image" alt="" border="0" height="386" width="576" /><br /></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-3922472064737868225?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-55518054277053719822007-12-02T11:48:00.000-06:002007-12-02T11:49:44.663-06:00<center><br /><object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/y5SO2u1cxiQ&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/y5SO2u1cxiQ&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object><br /></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-5551805427705371982?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-31738060122242458202007-12-01T08:57:00.000-06:002007-12-01T08:58:27.351-06:00Audubon and the America Bird Conservancy have joined forces to rally conservationists around America's most imperiled birds. WatchList 2007, a new analysis from these leading bird conservation organizations, identifies 178 species in the continental U.S. and 39 in Hawaii that are in need of immediate conservation help.<br /><br />It is a call to action, for all who care about birds, other wildlife and the environment. Together, we can help save species fighting for survival amid a convergence of environmental challenges including habitat loss, invasive species and global warming.<br /><br /><a

Rusty and lil Tim are still there, but they are having a ball with the other kittens.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_rustyattheshelter.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_kickerkitties.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />Yes, that's Kicker on the bottom left!<br /><br />The kittens are in the same size cage that I have..there is nothing more I could for them here at home. At the shelter a lot of people come in and out, so hopefully they will be adopted soon.<br /><br />I often see people get this sad look in their faces when they hear the word animal shelter. They immediately feel sorry for the animals and have all these horrible ideas in their heads.<br /><br />Besides the necessity of having to euthanize animals due to the lack of space and funding, the animals that actually do spend time at our local shelter couldn't have it any better from the animals' point of view.<br /><br />The dogs are not locked up in some cages, they run around free in a save enclosed environment, can socialize with each other and have dog houses and lil pools with water and toys to play with.<br /><br />Cats of course can't be kept outside, but they are sheltered savely in clean cages and get played with a lot.<br /><br />Everything they need is provided and this place couldn't be any further from "horrible". The 2 ladies who run the shelter here have a heart of gold and my deepest admiration, because they sure work miracles every day. I extent that admiration to our 2 Animal Control Officers as well!<br /><br />Here are a pictures of some of the puppies that are currently at the shelter:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_shelterpuppies.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_puppyshelter.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/blacklab1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />and here is Luise today:<br /><br /><div id="post_message_2972"><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_luiseenjoys.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_luisebrush.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-6604808650048560240?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-72687103620010588802007-11-27T17:35:00.001-06:002007-11-27T17:38:03.544-06:00I noticed those humongous paws Luise has, which resulted in her second name Bigfoot. They are not coming out in a picture the way I see him in reality, but those are some huge paws!<br /><br />She is already eating and drinking out of bowls and has a VERY round belly :-). She's a lover too, loves to sit under my hair and purrs all day. Such a sweetheart!<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_luise-keyboard.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_luise2.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-7268710362001058880?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-90010796931291739032007-11-26T17:05:00.000-06:002007-11-26T17:10:03.693-06:00Rusty and little Tim are finally up for adoption at the shelter. I will visit them tomorrow to see if they were already adopted out or not.<br /><br />I brought home a 3 weeks old kitten who is a bit malnourished and didn't quite fit in with the older ones yet.

A cataract is deep within the eye lens causing a cloudiness inside the pupil. This is a cloudiness of the cornea- often viral induced in young kittens from calici/herpes/chlamydia virus'. I am pleased to hear that it is improving- generally these get worse over time especially without treatment. I think this kitten could benefit from topical antibiotic eye ointment and oral antibiotics as well for secondary infection and corneal edema.</span><br /><br />This is exactly what I have been doing, so I will continue the treatment. Should he get worse or stop improving, I will get different medication from the vet.<br /><br />3 of the 5 kittens will go to the shelter tomorrow (they ARE property of the humane society/shelter, just in foster care) for adoption. They are ready, eating dry food, clean themselves, use the litterbox, drink water and refuse the bottle. That's my sign!<br /><br />I will keep the little male "calico" back because there is still a little bit of blood in the stool, and also to keep Rusty company, who I of course will keep here until he is either completely healed, or somebody offers him a home including all the treatment he needs.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-4570855330886628800?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-49390231493220171332007-11-06T08:41:00.000-06:002007-11-06T16:04:04.796-06:00The infection is muuuuch better, and Rusty appears to be able to see, but looking at his eyes on this picture I just took...I don't know.

He is definitely not blind, at least he reacts to light, that's something. However, his infection came back! It's the toughest and longest infection I have ever treated unsuccessfully!<br /><br />I just emailed my Vet this picture, hopefully she can hook me up with some other medications that work better than what I got here. He's otherwise a very healthy and sweet kitten, I'd hate to lose him to an infection.<br /><br />I already lost 3 of the litter of 6, that's enough! One passed away this morning, lil Cheetah. All 3 died of something different too..strange world that is.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_rusty.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />Here are 2 of the 3 survivors from the litter of 6 and 4 healthy eyes to compare it with:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_fourbigeyes.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />Lil Calico on her rice buddy lol:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_calicoricebuddy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />He is ALWAYS hungry! <img src="http://www.petsandwildlifeforum.com/images/smilies/smileys/smile29.gif" alt="" title="Smile29" class="inlineimg" border="0" /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_orangekitten.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />And here is what the cage looks like..it's a blessing this cage! It was a donation..it's twice as wide as you can see and has 3 stories which I can split into 6 small or 3 large compartments.<br /><br />I have to keep the lil male separated from the others, because they all suckle on him..they always pick on the smallest lol. But I hated to leave him all alone, so I put the one kitten in with him that didn't show interest in suckling:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_kittencage.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-9188367392874648911?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-15858037899167307432007-10-29T19:36:00.000-06:002007-10-29T21:35:29.743-06:00<div id="post_message_2776">It looks like that lil Rusty might be blind after all.

In female cats, where this trait primarily occurs, it is a result of X-inactivation, in which different patches of fur receive coding for different hair color due to the activation of an X chromosome from either the mother or the father. Calico coloring is a mix of phaeomelanin based colors (red) and eumelanin based colors (black, chocolate and cinnamon). Cats of this coloration are believed to bring good luck in the folklore of many cultures [1]; in the United States these are sometimes referred to as money cats[2].<br /><br />Patterns<br /><br />The mix of colors results in a cat with patches of red and black, chocolate, or cinnamon. The size of the patches can vary from a fine speckled pattern to large areas of colour. Typically, the more white a cat has, the more solid the patches of color. Dilution genes may modify the coloring, lightening the fur to a mix of cream and blue, lilac or fawn. The markings on tortoiseshell cats are usually asymmetric. Occasionally tabby patterns of eumelanistic and pheomelanistic colours are also seen (these are often then called "torbie" or "caliby").[3] Tortoiseshell also can be expressed in the point pattern. The description "tortoiseshell" (also called "calimanco" or "clouded tiger" in North America) is typically reserved for cats with brindled coats that have relatively little or no white markings, while those that are largely white with red and black patches (rather than a brindled aspect) are described as tortoiseshell-and-white (in the UK) or calico (in the United States). Tortoiseshells and calicos are not specific breeds of cat. The tortoiseshell markings appear in many different breeds. Both calico and tortoiseshell cats are almost always female. In Japan, calicos are called Mike (pronounced Mee-Kay)This pattern is especially preferred in the Japanese Bobtail breed.<br /><br />Coat color genetics<br /><br />Coat coloration in cats is complex, and controlled by several genes. One gene involved has two alleles: the Orange allele, O, which is the dominant form, (XO), and produces orange fur; and the "Black" allele, "o", which is the recessive form, (Xo), and produces black fur.<br /><br />For a cat to be a tortoiseshell or calico, it must simultaneously express both of the alleles, O and o, which are two versions of the same gene, located at the same locus on the X chromosome. Males normally cannot do this: they can have only one allele, as they have only one X chromosome, consequently virtually all tortoiseshell or calico cats are females. Occasionally a male is born (the rate is approximately 1 in 3,000 [3]). These may have Klinefelter's syndrome, carrying an extra X chromosome, and will almost always be sterile or they may be a chimera resulting from the fusion of two differently coloured embryos.<br /><br />The spotting gene causes white patches to cover the colored fur. Although there is no genetic difference, the amount of white is artificially divided into mitted, bicolour, harlequin, and van, going from almost no white to almost completely white.<br /><br />In normal female tortoiseshell cats and in Klinefelter males, the position of the patches depends on which X-chromosome is active in each cell and which is inactivated to become a Barr body.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-1243623345738969370?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-48624774055069147342007-10-13T16:18:00.001-06:002007-10-13T16:18:35.723-06:00<img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_kittenbasket1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_kittenbasket.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><!-- / message --><!-- sig --> __________________<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-4862477405506914734?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-89648745535738057632007-10-12T16:47:00.000-06:002007-10-12T16:48:19.794-06:00nimal Control dropped off one kitten this afternoon..lil boy was all starved and didn't have any fat on him.

They are about 8 weeks old, eating on their own, but they are throwing a hissing and spitting fit as soon as a human comes near! And they were badly starved.<br /><br />I put them in the cage, gave them some food and left them alone. This morning they seemed to be a bit more comfortable and I was able to touch one kitty (the one in the first picture) while she was eating and he/she didn't complain, so that's a good start.<br /><br />I wasn't able to snatch really good pics, but you'll get the idea:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/feral1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/feral3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />They appear dirty but healthy.

I returned his sister to the shelter to be put up for adoption just yesterday, because she didn't want to have anything to do with the bottle anymore. This is always my cue that they are ready to find a permanent home.<br /><br />I kept the little redhead for 2 reasons. He was still interested in the bottle and I figured he would make good company for the newcomer, who needs another week or so before she is ready to go to the shelter.<br /><br />I bottlefed both of them at 10 pm last night and both ate fine, pooped fine, looked fine. This morning, the redhead laid on his side, heaving. I could hear lots of noise in his chest, sounded like liquid in his respiratory system. He was not able to move at all. I immediately put him on IV fluids and gave him a shot of antibiotics, but it was too late. Once I saw that his condition worsened, I took him in to be euthanized.<br /><br />His sister is still at the shelter and doing alright. I hope that she will make it through.

got a 3rd kitty in this morning. She's doing good, except she didn't like the camera, so here are a couple of pictures of the other kitties hehe :<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_redk.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/3k.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-3179004553454689924?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-39640203443791751732007-05-10T16:36:00.000-06:002007-05-10T16:37:46.627-06:00<b>» Why does your cat wash your hair or face?</b><br />The first thing a kitten experiences, even before it can see, is its mother licking and washing. Grooming is a demonstration of love and caring. So, if your cat occasionally washes your hair or licks your face, he is showing you his acceptance and caring of you as a fellow feline.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat "knead" or "make biscuits"?</b><br />When a kitten is nursing, it typically kneads its paws against its mother, either as a sign of contentment or to encourage the milk flow. When the cat matures, it kneads to show its contentment and pleasure.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat go to the visitor who doesn't like cats?</b><br />When one cat is threatening another, it stares boldly, sometimes hisses, and frequently moves in toward the other cat. Usually, the person who doesn't like cats avoids looking at it, doesn't talk to it, and sits quietly, hoping to be ignored by the cat. The cat, therefore, sees the person's behavior as "cat-friendly" and practically inviting.<br /><br /><b>» Why does your cat push its head against you? </b><br />This is called "head butts". This is a cat's way of showing affection. Some cats will turn their head, and push it against a human (or another cat).<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat do a stiff-legged hop/touch against a human?</b><br />That is the cat's body language of saying, "hey, hi there, how ya doin'?"<br /><br /><b>» Why does your cat rub up against you?</b><br />Cats have scent glands along the tail, on each side of their head, on their lips, base of their tail, chin, near their sex organs, and between their front paws. They use these glands to scent mark their territory. When the cat rubs you, he is marking you with his scent, claiming you as "his." Too, he is picking up your scent. Cats rub up against furniture or doorways for the same reason - to mark the item as "his". (Urine spraying is also a territorial marking, by the way.)<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat sometimes wash its fur immediately after being petted?</b><br />There are two theories on this behavior. One theory proposes that the cat is getting rid of the human smell. The other is that the cat is furthering the pleasure of his association with you by tasting your scent.<br /><br /><b>» Why do some cats suck wool or clothing?</b><br />There are a couple of theories on this:<br />The cat was weaned too early and the scent of the lanolin reminds the cat of his mother, or The cat has a lack of fiber in his diet.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat walk sloooowly, looking straight forward when passing another cat?</b><br />All cats are territorial to an extent - the range of a particular inside cat may extend from a small space in a room to the entire house, depending on their hierarchical ranking in the family. When a "superior" cat confronts on "inferior" in the hierarchy, it will stare at and/or move in for a face-to-face confrontation. When a cat wants to show that it doesn't want to get into an argument, it will make a wide, slow path around the other cat, usually avoiding even looking at it.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat use a litterbox?</b><br />In the wild, cats learned to bury their feces to hide their presence from predators or rivals. That trait remains ingrained in our domestic house cats.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat scratch outside the litterbox, instead of inside it?</b><br />The cat has probably had several unpleasant experiences of getting his feet soggy or dirty - make sure the litterbox is cleaned out frequently.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat purr?</b><br />Usually, a cat purrs because it is content. A mother cat purrs to let her kittens know she is nearby, and kittens purr in response to their mother's grooming. Older kittens purr to entice adults to play. Some adults will purr to show an aggressor that they are non-threatening. Take note, however, that some cats will purr when frightened or in pain. By the way, no one has yet to discover how a cat purrs.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat sometimes scratch the floor as though he is trying to bury his food dish?</b><br />It may be a holdover of the wild trait of burying food for later. Or, it may be that he is trying to tell you that the food is not to his liking.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat attack human's ankles?</b><br />Kitten play always involves mock battles, with surprise attacks, pounces, and leaps. The kitty is basically trying to play, as he would with another cat. Direct him to less painful game play - chasing balls, cords, and so on.<br /><br /><b>» Why are some people allergic to cats' fur?</b><br />It's not the cat's fur that causes allergies. It's a protein (FEL D1) in the cat's saliva. When a cat grooms itself, it deposits this protein on its fur (and the protein then may be transferred to upholstery and carpets). Some cats have less (or more) of this protein. There is no way to predict which cat in a litter, if any, will be less allergenic, though females seem to be the lesser allergenic. Bathing a cat to reduce the amount of protein in the cat's fur has traditionally been recommended, but research may be tending to negate that conclusion. Instead, wiping down the cat using a damp microfiber cloth to remove visible dander may be more effective. I've also been told that a product called Allerpet, rubbed into the cat's fur, can help reduce the dander.<br /><br /><b>» Why does your cat turn his/her back on you after a scolding, or if you've been gone for a while?</b><br />Typically, a person's body language when reprimanding a pet includes staring or other overtly "aggressive" behavior. The cat usually responds in a submissive fashion. In a sense, it is telling you he has surrendered to you, as a fellow cat, and is discouraging attack. (By the way, you will get better results from a cat if you enforce his positive behavior instead of reprimanding any negative behavior.)<br /><br /><b>» Why does your cat bring you dead or dying creatures?</b><br />There are at least four differing theories on this behavior:<br />- Your cat is bringing you a present, in appreciation for you feeding it or as a sign of affection.<br />- Your cat realizes you are a totally incompetent mouser and is trying to educate you.<br />- The cat is bringing her prey home to where it is safe, where she usually eats.<br />- The cat is simply trying to make sure you have fresh food.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat play with its prey?</b><br />Cats are attracted by movement, so if a stalked prey keeps moving, the cat's desire to attack continues to be stimulated. If the cat gets very excited over the stalking/killing, he may continue to play with the prey after it is dead.<br /><br /><b>» Why do some cats put their toys in their water or food dish?</b><br />Cats look upon their food area as part of their territory, and that particular area of their territory usually doesn't change from day to day - so the cats are likely putting their favorite toys away in a "safe" place. Some cats will consistently put away their toys when they're through playing with them - you might try putting your cat's toys in a small basket near one of his favorite spots and see if he will put them away on his own.<br /><br /><b>» Why does your cat take a small bite on your arm or cheek and hold on for a few seconds?</b><br />Some cats, when they are very happy and feeling extremely affectionate toward the Big Unfurry Cat, will gently take a piece of human skin between their teeth and hold it for a few seconds. Think of it as the feline equivalent of kissing.<br /><br /><b>» Why do cats roll over on their backs?</b><br />Cats roll over on their backs for a variety of reasons: if your cat flops down in front of you and rolls over on his back for a belly skritch, it's a sign of his complete trust in you that you won't ever hurt him. Other times, he wants to play. If the cat is female and in heat, it's a form of foreplay. It's also a part of their social standing. Domesticated cats don't display this as much as wild ones do. Wild cats have a very similar social structure to that of wolves.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat lick photographs or plastic bags?</b><br />It has been speculated that they are tasting the slight "odor" that emanates from these products. They may also enjoy the texture of the items on their tongue.<br /><br /><b>» Why do some cats go crazy over catnip, but others ignore it?</b><br />The response to catnip is the result of a gene in the cat; if the cat doesn't have the gene, it cannot physically react to catnip. Some cats will react to catnip by rolling around on the floor in delight, others will just quickly eat it up and wander off, while others will ignore it completely.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat sometimes "sneer" when smelling something?</b><br />When a cat curls back its upper lip and looks like it's sneering, it has just discovered an interesting, usually intense odor and is smelling it more deeply. Called "flehming," it is drawing the odors into an organ (Jacobson's organ), in the roof of its mouth.<br /><b><br />» Why do cats sometimes scratch at windows?</b><br />It may be that they are verifying that there is actually a barrier between them and whatever they see outside.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat hate getting wet?</b><br />Actually, many cats enjoy water and at least one breed is known to enjoy fishing and swimming. But, it has to be on their own terms - being picked up by two human hands and dunked in a sink full of water is not on the cat's "own terms."<br /><br /><b>» Why do some cats insist on drinking from a dripping faucet?</b><br />Cats - like most other animals - prefer their food and water fresh, and running water is most appealing for that reason. Too, the motion of water coming out of a faucet is probably appealing to their sense of hearing and sight. Some cats will even put their paw into their water dish and "swirl" it around so they can drinking "running" water.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat hide when it is sick or dying?</b><br />Instinct tells a cat to hide where a predator can't find them. When a cat is ill, it may think it is being stalked - so it hides.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat spend so much time grooming?</b><br />Besides the obvious purpose of hygiene and the social aspects, grooming helps cats cope with confrontation or embarassment (you may have noticed that if a cat accidentally falls off a chair, the first thing he does is nonchalantly wash himself, as though he intended to get down in the first place.)<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat frequently demand attention when you're on the telephone?</b><br />The cat, since it can't see the person you are talking to, presumes you are talking to him, and is responding to what he perceives is your conversation with him.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat scratch the furniture or a scratching post?</b><br />While some people think a cat scratches to sharpen its claws, that is probably inaccurate. There are typically two reasons for scratching: the cat is marking its territory (cats have sweat glands between their paw pads, and scratching leaves their scent on the clawed object); or, the cat is "filing down" its nails and removing the outer layer.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat suddenly bite or hiss at a person after it's been petted for a while?</b><br />If a person persists in touching a sensitive area (such as the cat's tail, ears, or belly), the cat might give a gentle nip to as a way of staying "stop." Too, some cats can tolerate pleasurable stroking only for short periods of time; again, he may communicate "stop it" with a nip or cuff of his paw.<br /><br /><b>» Why do some cats insist on tipping over their water dish, or take food out of the dish and drop it on the floor to eat?</b><br />Most cats do not like to eat or drink out of bowls if the sides touch their whiskers. Also, if a bowl is too deep, the cat may take the food out for convenience. A wider, shallower bowl will probably eliminate this behavior.<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat chatter when he sees a bird?</b><br />When a cat kills prey, it bites down quickly several times. The "chatter" is simulating the cat's behavior at the time of attack.<br />Alternatively (according to a visitor): it's pure and simple frustration. When a cat is stalking or killing a bird, they're almost invariably completely silent. It's when they are shut off from the prey that they chatter.<br /><br /><b>» Why is a cat able to land on its feet from a fall?</b><br />When falling, the cat uses its tail to right itself and swivels its body in mid-air, so that it is facing the ground, and lands with its back arched to absorb the shock. Cats have very flexible bodies, so the swiveling is easy for them to do.<br /><b><br />» Why do cats like crinkly sounds?</b><br />Crinkly sounds are similar to the high-pitched noises of rodents, birds, and crickets, so the crisp, crinkly sound of a crumpled piece of paper or walking into a paper bag stimulates the cat's "prey response."<br /><br /><b>» Why does a cat swish his tail?</b><br />Cats use their tail to communicate their mood.<br /><br /><b>» Why do cats chew on plants?</b><br />It could be that the grass helps the cat get rid of fur swallowed while grooming, or that grass provides fiber or vitamins and minerals not found in meat. Some plants are poisonous to a cat; others are okay for nibbling.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-3964020344379175173?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-35035477184480206032007-05-07T07:28:00.000-06:002007-05-07T07:30:57.988-06:00We have all seen cats eat grass...but why do they do it? Listed below are some suggestions that have been put forward over the years:<br /><br /> * Cats use grass as a laxative to enable them to pass hairballs lodged in their intestines.<br /> * Cats eat grass to make them vomit up hairballs.<br /> * Cats eat grass because they are feeling sick and this makes them vomit, getting rid of poisons.<br /> * Cats eat grass to relieve inflammation of their throats.<br /> * Cats eat grass to relieve stomach ache.<br /> * Cats eat grass to add roughage to their diets.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-3503547718448020603?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-76665728483169296452007-05-06T17:29:00.000-06:002007-05-06T17:38:01.906-06:00<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/P8PYLebSzgQ"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/P8PYLebSzgQ" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-7666572848316929645?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-72097697383146828262007-05-06T17:24:00.000-06:002007-05-06T17:28:16.136-06:00<img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/kittyhiss1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/kittyhiss.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/redkitty1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/redkitty.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><!-- / message --><!-- sig --> __________________<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-7209769738314682826?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-66824316021027482612007-05-05T11:57:00.000-06:002007-05-05T12:00:57.029-06:00This was the litter of newborns on April 6th:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.amazes.us/album/albums/userpics/10001/normal_sixnewborns.jpg" alt="" border="0" /><br /><br />Here are the 2 survivors today, a month later.

In a new study, researchers say they have learned why.<br /><br />The taste buds of mammals bear complexes of molecules designed for sensing specific flavors, called receptors. “Sweet” receptors consist of two protein molecules hooked together, said Joseph Brand, senior author of the study and associate director of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, Penn.<br /><br />Brand and his co-researchers said cats don’t produce one of the proteins, because the gene that codes for its production doesn’t work in cats.<br /><br />The gene probably lost its functionality because it has no use given the felines’ carnivorous behavior, the researchers said.<br /><br />“We took a behavioral question and answered it molecularly,” Brand said.<br /><br />Cats can’t recognize any carbohydrates, a class of substances that includes sugars, according to Brand. They therefore eat a meat-and-fat only diet similar to the “Atkins” diet popular in the United States.<br /><br />The findings raise key evolutionary questions, Brand noted. One is “when and why did cats lose the ability to taste sweet things?” Another is a chicken-and-egg question: “Which came first, the carnivorous behavior or the inability to taste sweets?”<br /><br />Brand added, “I said jokingly, no wonder cats are cranky—not only do they have to hunt for their food, but they also can’t enjoy a sweet dessert!”<br /><br />The study is published in the July 25 issue of the research journal PLoS Genetics.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-681753085471775336?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-19092238735813308532007-04-23T08:46:00.000-06:002007-04-23T08:53:03.742-06:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">The bad news:</span><br />there are only 2 left from the litter of 6 newborns.

In fact, by the age of 5, I was already known as “Miss Dolittle”. Since that time, up to the present, I have been an active volunteer at many rescues and shelters in different parts of the world for more than 35 years.</p> <p>In 2000 I moved to Stephenville, Texas. I learned of the lack of wildlife rehabilitators in the area and decided that I could fill that void. </p> <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="98%"> <tbody><tr> <td valign="middle"><p>I inquired about the legal regulations and learned that helping migratory birds required two permits, from both the State and Federal wildlife agencies. </p> <p>I sent in the Federal Permit with the intention to get that one out of the way first and then fill out the application for the State Permit a short while later. </p></td> <td align="center" valign="middle" width="220"><img src="http://www.rainbowwildlife.com/4squirrelbabies.jpg" alt="Baby Squirrels" height="138" width="200" /></td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p>The reason for this was that I still needed one more outside enclosure to pass the required State inspection necessary for the State permit. I learned later on that I had to apply simultaneously for both permits, so the application for the Federal Permit was put on hold. </p> <p>Then the news came that we are going to be moving soon, which meant I would have to go through the entire wildlife application process again. I put the State Permit off as well as spending the money on the material for a new enclosure, expecting to be moving within 3 months. These 3 months turned into 3 years, this time due to paperwork delays by the Federal Government.</p> <p>In the meantime, I was actively helping out at the local animal shelter on a regular basis. A licensed rehabber was there in the beginning to show me how things worked. Then the rehabber moved to another county and I continued to help out at the shelter. Over the next 3 years I established and registered a non-profit organization in Stephenville to help support the ever-growing wildlife care needs that were not covered by the limited resources of the local Humane Society.</p> <p>While awaiting the Government paperwork, on which the move depended, to be finalized, I kept taking in animals, raising them, releasing them. I started the Rainbow Wildlife Rescue, Squirrel-Rescue, and Pets and Wildlife Forum Websites to share the information that I have learned. Everything went great. I was living my dream! I took on various online jobs that allowed me to stay home 24/7 and attend to the babies and sick animals. </p> <p>To learn how other animal lovers handle similar situations, I joined an online community related to the subject. I had 5 pink (no fur yet) squirrel babies that had fallen out of a tree in a storm. Someone in the community contacted the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, who in return sent the Game Warden to me, who knocked on my door a few months ago in February because someone had complained that I was keeping squirrels without a permit. I received a citation and fine, which I paid the same week, believing that this was my punishment for breaking the law, which I admit. I did not follow the rules.</p> <p>At that point I realized I would not be able to continue caring for wildlife until all the legalities were addressed, so I finished building the outside enclosure, filled out the State Permit application, and sent it in. A month later I received the following reply (excerpt):</p> <p><strong>"Thank you for your application for a wildlife rehabilitation permit. At this time, the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department is unable to process your wildlife rehabilitation application due to a wildlife rehabilitation violation dated February 15, 2007. Departmental policy is to wait a period of one year after the citation before reviewing a rehabilitation permit application. </strong></p> <p>I was shocked! Barred for a year in addition to the pretty hefty citation? For trying to save some innocent helpless babies? Where does the punishment fit the crime here? You can drive for 90 minutes into any direction before you can find another wildlife rehabilitator. What is the community supposed to do when they find a wild baby animal? </p> <p>I am sure many of you reading this are nodding, because you found yourself in similar situations and have probably broken the law numerous times yourself without even knowing it!</p> <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="98%"> <tbody><tr> <td width="260"><img src="http://www.rainbowwildlife.com/parkwith4.jpg" alt="Me" height="218" width="250" /></td> <td><p><strong>I believe that a law that cannot differentiate between somebody who endangers animals and somebody who is honestly trying to make a difference for the better, that that law can't be a good law and might need some revising! </strong></p> <p>I will keep you updated on my quest and hopefully we can make some changes. That's why I ask you to stay tuned, my fellow animal lovers, I might need your voices and support.</p> <p><b>Contact: <a href="mailto:squirrels@rainbowwildlife.com%20">squirrels@rainbowwildlife.com </a></b></p></td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p> </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-6287320073496197499?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-86748226460644543082007-04-16T09:15:00.000-06:002007-04-16T09:19:49.190-06:00The first day outside for the 3 boys and 4 girl kittens.

So far each of the 13 kittens has survived. 2 of the newborns, the runts, aren't eating as much as I would like to see it, but they are not doing too bad either. Time will tell. Time is something I don't have much lately hehehe. Feeding every 4 hours where it takes me 2 hours to feed all of them. The newborns I feed of course every 2-3 hours, so that's all I'm basically doing..warming bottles and feeding. And I wouldn't want it any other way! loool<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-8530879512781900240?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-52240484652275332172007-04-06T18:28:00.000-06:002007-04-06T18:30:34.990-06:00These six kitties are less than 48 hours old.<br />My Great Dane Olliver is already very interested.

They actually feel compelled to bring us food! In hindsight, kitty is trying to do his share for the family. Cats also have a natural desire to store food for “rainy days”.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-8691681027862371460?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-74998821108290041332007-03-14T08:06:00.000-06:002007-03-14T08:09:48.682-06:00<div id="content2"> <p class="Text">Your feline will look (and feel!) like the cat’s meow after a good grooming session.</p> <p class="Text">By nature, cats are extremely fastidious. You’ve no doubt watched your kitty washing herself several times a day. For the most part she can take care of herself very well, thank you, but sometimes she’ll need a little help from you.</p> <p class="Text"><span class="Subtitle"><span style="font-weight: bold;">MAKE GROOMING AS ENJOYABLE AS POSSIBLE—FOR THE BOTH OF YOU!</span><br /></span>Grooming sessions should be fun for the both of you, so be sure to schedule them when your cat’s relaxed, perhaps after exercise or eating. You want your pet to remember grooming sessions in a positive way, so you never want to risk losing your temper. If you’ve had a stressful day or are in a bad mood, it’s probably not a good time to groom your cat. </p> <p class="Text">Keep your first grooming sessions short—just 5 to 10 minutes. Gradually lengthen the time until your pet is used to the routine. You should also get your pet used to being handled. Get in the habit of petting every single part of your cat—including ears, tail, belly and back—and especially the feet! </p> <p class="Text">And keep in mind, a little patience can go a long way. If your cat is extremely stressed out, cut the session short and try again when she’s calmer. Unfortunately, most cats do not like baths, so you may need another person to help. And remember to pile on the praise and offer her a treat when the session is over.</p> <p class="Text"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="Subtitle">BRUSHING</span><br />Regular sessions with a brush or comb will help keep your pet’s hair in good condition by removing dirt, spreading natural oils throughout her coat, preventing tangles and keeping her skin clean and irritant-free. </p> <p style="font-weight: bold;" class="Text">If your cat has short hair, you only need to brush once a week:</p><p class="Text">- First, use a metal comb and work through her fur from head to tail.<br />- Next, use a bristle or rubber brush to remove dead and loose hair.<br />- Be extra-gentle near her chest and belly.</p> <p style="font-weight: bold;" class="Text">If your cat has long hair, you will need to brush every day:</p><p class="Text">- Start by combing her belly and legs; be sure to untangle any knots.<br />- Next, brush her fur in an upward motion with a bristle or rubber brush.<br />- To brush her tail, make a part down the middle and brush the fur out on either side. </p><p class="Text"><span class="Subtitle"><span style="font-weight: bold;">BATHING</span><br /></span>If your cat’s coat becomes greasy and oily, or if she’s gotten into something sticky or smelly, she’ll benefit from a bath. Use a mild shampoo that’s safe to use on cats, and follow these easy steps:<br />- First, give your pet a good brushing to remove all dead hair and mats.<br />- Place a rubber bath mat in a sink or tub to provide secure footing.<br />- Put your cat in a tub or sink that has been filled with about 3 to 4 inches of lukewarm water.<br /><span class="Text">- Use a spray hose to thoroughly wet your pet, taking care not to spray directly in her ears, eyes or nose. If you don’t have a spray hose, a large plastic pitcher or unbreakable cup will do.<br /></span><span class="Text">- Gently massage in shampoo, working from head to tail.</span><br /><span class="Text">- Thoroughly rinse with a spray hose or pitcher; again, avoid the ears, eyes and nose<br />- Dry your pet with a large towel. </span></p> <p class="Text"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="Subtitle">NAIL CLIPPING</span><br />Most people really don’t handle their cats’ feet until they are about to clip the nails and then…watch out! Some animals can get very upset at this totally foreign feeling. That’s why it’s a good idea to get your cat used to having her feet touched before you attempt a nail trim. Rub your hand up and down her leg and then gently press each individual toe—and be sure to give her lots of praise and some food treats as you do this. Every animal is different, but chances are that within a week or two of daily foot massage, your cat will accept nail clipping with too much fuss. Here’s how to do it:<br /><br />- Begin by applying gentle pressure to the top of the foot and cushiony pad underneath—this will cause her to extend her claws.<br />- Use sharp, high-quality cat nail scissors to cut off the white tip of each nail, just before the point where it begins to curl.<br />- Take care to avoid the quick, a vein that runs into the nail. This pink area can be seen through the nail.<br />- If you do accidentally cut into this pink area, it may bleed, in which case you can apply some styptic powder to stop the bleeding.</p><p class="Text"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pets_groomcat</span><br /></p></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-7499882110829004133?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-79338573568514409992007-02-27T09:43:00.000-06:002007-02-27T09:47:40.032-06:00If you are concerned about the kind of cat food your kitty is eating, these resources will help you learn all you need to know about cat food and nutrition in order to make educated choices of food for your cat, by learning to read cat food labels and understanding the meaning of the ingredients.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Food Choices - Adoption - and Compromises</span><br />While in a perfect world people would feed their cats the best possible foods, there are times when this is impossible, for a variety of reasons.

Each heat period lasts between 5-14 days. If she is mated, the cat will usually go out of heat within 24 hours.</p> <p>Breeding season in the Northern hemisphere is during the months of late winter and early spring (March-September). Indoor-cats or cats living in warm climates can go into heat and become pregnant more than once during the breeding season.</p> <p>When in heat, the cat may display several signs. These may vary between breeds and even between individual cats. Signs include the famous calling (loud meowing), increased appetite and restlessness. Many cats begin to roll on the floor and demand to be petted. Some cats may begin to spray urine around the house.</p> <p>If the cat is not mated and does not become pregnant, she can go into heat repeatedly every 2-3 weeks. This means that if your cat goes into heat - you can't simply keep her locked up at home, waiting for it to go away. Unless you spay the cat, she will keep going into heat practically every month.</p> <p><br /> <b>Pregnancy</b></p> <p>Feline pregnancy, or gestation, usually lasts 63-65 days. The length of the pregnancy, from ovulation to birth can vary between different breeds - anything between 58-70 days is considered within normal range.</p> <p>You should be able tell if your cat is pregnant by the second or third week of the pregnancy, as the nipples of the pregnant female become enlarged and change color to deep pink. Later on, the growing abdomen will become more visible and leave little room for doubt.</p> <p>Take the cat to see the vet for a prenatal check-up. Your vet will be able to confirm the pregnancy using an ultrasound or other tests. He or she will also set a course of tests and future check-ups as necessary.</p> <p>Occasionally, a cat may exhibit a condition called pseudo- pregnancy or false pregnancy, where elevated levels of hormones cause symptoms that look much like a pregnancy. This condition can last for several weeks and then gradually fade away.</p> <p><b>Care During Pregnancy</b></p> <p>A young and healthy pregnant cat usually needs little special care other than extra attention to her nutrition.</p> <p>She may experience nausea and morning sickness for a few days during mid-pregnancy, due to hormonal changes. She may also show a decrease in appetite and may even go off her food entirely a few days before the birth. If she stops eating for more than a couple of days, or if you notice a decrease in appetite for more than 3-4 days, consult your vet.</p> <p>You should never medicate a cat unless your vet instructs to do so. This is especially important during pregnancy, where relatively safe and common drugs can be harmful. Let your vet know even if you only suspect your cat may be pregnant before any drugs are prescribed.</p><p><span style="font-size:78%;">Source: http://www.petcaretips.net/heat_pregnancy_cat.html</span><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-2256804788405715555?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-48194458369328759112007-02-11T10:07:00.000-06:002007-02-10T09:59:31.509-06:00What you’ll need to know to keep your companion feline happy and healthy. <p class="Text"><span class="Subtitle">Background</span><br />Cats were domesticated sometime between 4,000 and 8,000 years ago, in Africa and the Middle East. Small wild cats started hanging out where humans stored their grain. When humans saw cats up close and personal, they began to admire felines for their beauty and grace.<br /><br />There are many different breeds of cats--from the hairless Sphynx and the fluffy Persian to the silvery spotted Egyptian mau. But the most popular felines of all are non-pedigree—that includes brown tabbies, black-and-orange tortoiseshells, all-black cats with long hair, striped cats with white socks and everything in between.</p> <p class="Text"><span class="Subtitle">Cost</span><br />When you first get your cat, you’ll need to spend about $25 for a litter box, $10 for a collar, and $30 for a carrier. Food runs about $170 a year, plus $50 annually for toys and treats, $175 annually for litter and an average of $150 for veterinary care every year. The best place to get a cat? Your local shelter! Please visit our <a title="ASPCA Shelter Directory" href="http://www.aspca.org/findashelter">shelter directory</a> to find shelters and rescue groups in your area.</p> <p class="Text">Note: Make sure you have all your supplies (see our checklist) before you bring your new pet home.</p> <p class="Subtitle">Basic Care</p> <p class="Text"><span class="Text"><strong>Feeding</strong></span><br />- <span class="Text">An adult cat should be fed one large or two or three smaller meals each day.<br />- </span><span class="Text">Kittens from 6 to 12 weeks must eat four times a day.<br />- </span><span class="Text">Kittens from three to six months need to be fed three times a day.</span> </p><p class="Text">You can either feed specific meals, throwing away any leftover canned food after 30 minutes, or keep dry food available at all times. We recommend a high-quality, brand-name kitten or cat food; avoid generic brands. You will need to provide fresh, clean water at all times, and wash and refill water bowls daily. </p> <p class="Text">Although cat owners of old were told to give their pets a saucer of milk, cats do not easily digest cow’s milk, which can cause diarrhea in kittens and cats. Treats are yummy for cats, but don't go overboard. Most packaged treats contain lots of sugar and fat, which can pack on the pounds. Some cats like fresh fruits and vegetables, like broccoli, corn or cantaloupe. You can offer these once in awhile.</p> <p class="Text">If your kitten is refusing food or isn’t eating enough, try soaking her kitten food in warm water. If that doesn’t work, kittens can be fed human baby food for a short time. Use turkey or chicken baby food made for children six months and older. Gradually mix with her regular food.</p> <p class="Text"><strong><span class="Text">Grooming</span><br /></strong>Most cats stay relatively clean and rarely need a bath, but you should brush or comb your cat regularly. Frequent brushing helps keep your cat's coat clean, reduces the amount of shedding and cuts down on the incidence of hairballs. </p> <p class="Text"><span class="Text"><strong>Handling</strong><br /></span>To pick up your cat, place one hand behind the front legs and another under the hindquarters. Lift gently. Never pick up a cat by the scruff of the neck or by the front legs.</p> <p class="Text"><span class="Text"><strong>Housing</strong></span><br />Your pet should have her own clean, dry place in your home to sleep and rest. Line your cat's bed with a soft, warm blanket or towel. Be sure to wash the bedding often. Please keep your cat indoors. Cats who are allowed outdoors can contract diseases, get ticks or parasites, become lost or get hit by a car, or get into fights with other free-roaming cats and dogs. Also, cats may prey on native wildlife.</p> <p class="Text"><span class="Text"><strong>Identification</strong><br /></span>If allowed outdoors (again, we caution against it!), your cat must wear a safety collar and an ID tag. A safety collar with an elastic panel will allow your cat to break loose if the collar gets caught on something. And if your pet is indoors-only, an ID tag or an implanted microchip can help insure that your cat is returned if he or she becomes lost. </p> <p class="Text"><strong><span class="Text">Litter Box</span><br /></strong>All indoor cats need a litter box, which should be placed in a quiet, accessible location. A bathroom or utility room is a good place for your cat's box. In a multi-level home, one box per floor is recommended. Avoid moving the box unless absolutely necessary. Then do so slowly, a few inches a day. </p> <p class="Text">Keep in mind that cats won't use a messy, smelly litter box, so scoop solid wastes out of the box at least once a day. Dump everything, wash with a mild detergent and refill at least once a week; you can do this less frequently if using clumping litter. Don't use ammonia, deodorants or scents, especially lemon, when cleaning the litter box.</p> <p class="Text"><span class="Subtitle">Behavior Information</span><br /><br /><strong>Play</strong><br />Cats delight in stalking imaginary prey. The best toys are those that can be made to jump and dance around and look alive. Your cat can safely act out her role as a predator by pouncing on toys instead of people's ankles. Please don't use your hands or fingers as play objects with kittens. This type of rough play may cause biting and scratching behaviors to develop as your kitten matures.</p> <p class="Text"><span class="Text"><strong>Scratching</strong></span><br />Cats need to scratch! When a cat scratches, the old outer nail sheath is pulled off and the sharp, smooth claws underneath are exposed. Cutting your cat’s nails every two to three weeks will keep them relatively blunt and less likely to harm the arms of both humans and furniture.</p> <p class="Text">Provide your cat with a sturdy scratching post, at least three feet high, which will allow her to stretch completely when scratching. The post should also be stable enough that it won't wobble during use, and should be covered with rough material such as sisal, burlap or tree bark. Many cats also like scratching pads. A sprinkle of catnip once or twice a month will keep your cat interested in her post or pad. </p> <p class="Text"><span class="Subtitle">Health<br /></span>Your cat should see the veterinarian at least once a year for an examination and annual shots, and immediately if she is sick or injured.</p> <p class="Text"><span class="Text"><strong>Ear Mites</strong></span><br />These tiny parasites are a common problem that can be transmitted from cat to cat. If your cat is constantly scratching at his ears or shaking his head, he may be infested with ear mites. You will need to call your vet, as your cat's ears will need to be thoroughly cleaned before medication is dispensed.</p> <p class="Text"><span class="Text"><strong>Feline Urological Syndrome (FUS)</strong><br /></span>Both males and females can develop this lower urinary inflammation, also called Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease (FLUTD). Signs of FUS include frequent trips to the litter box, blood in the urine and crying out or straining when urinating. If your male cat looks "constipated," he may have a urethral obstruction and can’t urinate. This can be fatal if not treated quickly. Urethral blockages are rare in females. About five percent of cats are affected with FUS. Special diets may help prevent this condition. </p> <p class="Text"><span class="Text"><strong>Fleas and Ticks</strong><br /></span>Flea infestation should be taken seriously. These tiny parasites feed off of your pet, transmit tapeworms and irritate the skin. Carefully check your cat once a week for fleas and ticks. If there are fleas on your cat, there will be fleas in your house. You may need to use flea bombs or premise-control sprays, and be sure to treat all animals in your house. Take care that any sprays, powders or shampoos you use are safe for cats, and that all products are compatible when used together. Cats die every year from improper treatment with flea and tick control products. Please contact your veterinarian for the most effective flea control program for your pet.</p> <p class="Text"><span class="Text"><strong>Medicines and Poisons</strong><br /></span>Never give your cat medication that has not been prescribed by a veterinarian. For example, did you know that acetominophin and aspirin can be FATAL to a cat?! Keep rat poison or other rodenticides away from your cat. If you suspect that your animal has ingested a poisonous substance, call your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center for 24-hour animal poison information at (888) 426- 4435. </p> <p class="Text"><span class="Text"><strong>Spaying and Neutering</strong><br /></span>Female cats should be spayed and male cats neutered by six months of age. Neutering a male (removing the testicles) can prevent urine spraying, decrease the urge to escape outside and look for a mate, and reduce fighting between males. Spaying a female (removing the ovaries and uterus) helps prevent breast cancer, which is usually fatal, and pyometra (uterus infection), a very serious problem in older females that must be treated with surgery and intensive medical care. Since cats can breed up to three times per year, it is vital that your female feline be spayed to prevent her from having unwanted litters.</p> <p class="Text"><span class="Text"><strong>Vaccinations</strong><br /></span>* Kittens should be vaccinated with a combination vaccine (called a “3 in 1”) at 2, 3 and 4 months of age, and then annually. This vaccine protects cats from panleukopenia (also called feline distemper), calicivirus and rhinotracheitis. If you have an unvaccinated cat older than four months of age, he will need a series of two vaccinations given 2 to 3 weeks apart, followed by yearly vaccinations. </p> <p class="Text">* There is a vaccine available for feline leukemia virus (FeLV). This is one of the two immune system viruses (retroviruses) that infect cats. The other is feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). There is no vaccine available for FIV. Cats can be infected with either virus for months, even years, without any indication that they are carrying a fatal virus. All cats should be tested for these viruses. </p> <p class="Text">FeLV and FIV can be transmitted at birth from the mother or through the bite of an infected cat. Neither virus can infect humans. Many outdoor and stray cats and kittens carry this infection. Because of the fatal nature of these diseases, you should not expose cats already living in your home by taking in untested cats or kittens. To be safe, keep your cat indoors—but if your cat does go outside, he should be vaccinated against the feline leukemia virus. Remember, no vaccine is 100-percent effective.</p> <p class="Text">Please note, if your companion cat gets sick because he is not properly vaccinated, the vaccinations should be given after your pet has recovered. </p> <p class="Text"><strong><span class="Text">Worms</span><br /></strong>Kittens and cats can be infected with several types of worms. The key to treatment is correct diagnosis. This will ensure that the medication is effective against the parasite your pet has. A dewormer that eliminates roundworms, for example, will not kill tapeworms. Your veterinarian can best determine the culprit—and prescribe the appropriate medication. </p> <p class="Text"><span class="Subtitle">Cat Supply Checklist<br />- </span><span class="Text">Premium-brand cat food<br />- </span><span class="Text">Food dish<br />- </span><span class="Text">Water bowl<br />- </span><span class="Text">Interactive toys<br />- </span><span class="Text">Brush<br />- </span><span class="Text">Comb<br />- </span><span class="Text">Safety cat collar with ID tag<br />- </span><span class="Text">Scratching post or scratching pad<br />- </span><span class="Text">Litter box<br />- </span><span class="Text">Litter<br />- </span><span class="Text">Cat carrier</span><br />- <span class="Text">Cat bed or box with warm blanket or towel</span></p><p class="Text"><span class="Text"><span style="font-size:78%;">Source: http://www.aspca.org/site/PageServer?pagename=pets_catcare</span><br /></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-4819445836932875911?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-25073153577749651792007-02-10T09:55:00.000-06:002007-02-09T08:04:14.636-06:00<span style="font-weight: bold;">Question: </span><br /><blockquote>My cat brings her catch home. I even found a dead mouse on my bed the other day! That's just disgusting. What can I do????</blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;">Answer: </span> <blockquote><span style="font-weight: bold;">Cats are predators by nature and are amongst the best hunters in nature.</span> It is their hunting skills, especially their ability to kill mice, that brought cats & people together. Cats were domesticated by farmers thousands of years ago to help them protect their crops from rodents and other animals.<br /><br />This is augmented by the fact that cats hunt even when they are full. Because kitty views people as either parents or children that need help, he feels compelled to bring us food. In essence <b>kitty is trying to do his "fair share" for the family</b>. This is coupled with kitty's desire to save his 'earnings' makes it more of a problem. Cats have a natural desire to store food for more scarce times.<br /><br />An example in nature is that of the leopard placing a catch in a tree. To our cats, our homes are those trees and are thus the place where the catch is brought &amp; stored.<br /><br />Other than keeping kitty an indoor cat, there is little you can do. Continue disposing of the catch as you are doing (please rubber gloves while disposing of the catch and wash thoroughly after handling these animals).<br /><br />Consider moving the feeding tray to another area so that the kitchen does not become the central depository. Also, be aware that continued exposure to wilds of the outdoors puts your kitty at greater risk of injury and disease. </blockquote><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-2507315357774965179?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-48953319384470642632007-02-09T08:02:00.000-06:002007-02-08T10:34:00.543-06:00<p>Through body language and demeanor your cat is a skilled communicator.

This handful of fluff and fun is a fascinating little creature. As you hold it in your hand, consider this: A kitten's tiny body has about 440 bones — nearly 40 more than a human. It has more than 500 separate skeletal muscles compared to some 650 found in the human body. </span><p> </p><p><span class="bodycopy"> Look at the ridges on its tiny nose pad. They form a pattern as unique to an individual kitten as a fingerprint is to a human. Behind this nose pad lies a maze of bones and cavities that serve a kitten well. This area, called the mucosa, is nearly twice the size of the olfactory mucosa in humans and indicates the importance of the sense of smell to cats. </span> </p><p><span class="bodycopy"> A newborn kitten's sense of smell enables it to locate its mother's nipples. Many kittens, shortly after birth, tend to stake out a single nipple which they claim for their own. This acute sense of smell combined with the sense of touch helps guide the newborn until its eyes open at about three weeks and its other senses develop. </span> </p><p><span class="bodycopy"> The hairless skin of a kitten's nose and its paw pads are particularly sensitive to touch. A kitten learns to use its paws to investigate the texture, size and shape of an unfamiliar object. It may extend a paw, gently touch an object and then touch it firmly before drawing closer to use its nose for a final inspection. Its sense of smell and the tactile paw pads will continue as investigative tools throughout its adulthood. </span> </p><p><span class="bodycopy"> A newborn kitten relies on its senses of smell and touch because its eyes remain closed for seven to ten days after birth. At first its vision is poor because its retina is not completely developed. It is not able to see as well as an adult for about three months. From then on, its vision becomes one of the most important of its senses. </span> </p><p><span class="bodycopy"> A kitten's as well as an adult cat's eyes are large compared to the size of its head. If our eyes were as large in comparison to the size of our heads, they would be at least the size of a softball. The large eyes are part of the kitten's heritage, designed to facilitate its work as a hunter. </span> </p><p><span class="bodycopy"> Throughout its life, a kitten depends upon its whiskers to provide information about its surroundings. Whiskers serve as wind detectors, which, combined with a sense of smell, contribute to its swift identification of the source of any odor. This can be observed as an inquisitive kitten twitches its whiskers as it sniffs. </span> </p><p><span class="bodycopy"> Whiskers also protect a kitten's and an adult cat's eyes. A springing twig or a sharp blade of grass will touch the whiskers before catching the eye and trigger a protective eye blink. Whiskers fall out periodically to be replaced by new ones. </span> </p><p><span class="bodycopy"> The loss of whiskers can impair a kitten's or cat's motion and orientation to its surroundings. Sometimes the mother cat will bite off the whiskers of kittens who may wander too far away or are too inquisitive. Mother knows best. Once a kitten is in your custody, never trim or cut off those whiskers. </span> </p><p><span class="bodycopy"> When a kitten gives you an affectionate lick, you may liken the experience to the feeling of rough sandpaper. This is the result of numerous knobs called papillae on the surface of the kitten's tongue. They form backward-facing hooks which help hold food and provide the abrasion needed for self-grooming. </span> </p><p><span class="bodycopy"> The taste buds are carried by mushroom-shaped papillae at the tip and sides of the tongue and the cup-shaped papillae at the back of the tongue. </span> </p><p><span class="bodycopy"> Kittens have their own distinctive eating habits. They tend to consume a large number of small meals. Usually a kitten approaches its food, sniffs it quickly and then starts to eat. After consuming a small portion, a kitten leaves and returns at intervals to eat. This "occasional eating" is typical cat behavior and should not be confused with reluctance or refusal to eat. </span> </p><p><span class="bodycopy"> As a kitten drinks water, notice how its tongue laps under the water in much the same manner as an elephant uses its trunk. It flicks its tongue quickly in and out of the liquid, swallowing after every third or fourth lap. Because water is involved in virtually every function of a kitten's body, it's important to keep fresh drinking water available at all times in a clean bowl. </span> </p><p><span class="bodycopy"> While most of us associate catnip with causing a few minutes of extreme playfulness in a kitten, this reaction may not occur. A kitten's capacity to detect and react to catnip is inherited and sometimes described as the presence or absence of a "catnip gene." About 30 percent of cats do not have this gene and will not exhibit any particular behavior in association with catnip. Kittens with the gene usually don't respond to catnip until about six to eight months of age. </span> </p><span class="bodycopy"> A final thought: Perhaps a kitten's most unique trait is its individuality. Each one has its own personality. Properly socializing a new kitten by introducing it with care to its new home, family and friends, will help develop its personality. The result is a delightful companion for years to come.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Source: http://gianteagle.petkare.com/index.asp?FrameId=4&CMD=Menu&amp;SId=2236</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-4009193899204584123?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-70213948569206388762007-02-07T08:17:00.000-06:002007-02-07T08:19:39.163-06:00<p align="justify"><strong>Always, always</strong> isolate a rescued cat or kitten from your pets for at least fourteen days and until it has been examined by your veterinarian and tested for lethal disease; even a tiny kitten can pack a <a href="http://www.kittenbaby.com/kitten-diseases.php">killer virus</a> or <a href="http://www.kittenbaby.com/parasites.php">parasite</a>. </p> <p align="justify">Make the kitten comfortable in a room that is frequently visited by you and that is separate from your other pets.

Over 10 million dogs and cats in the United States alone are being put to death by euthanasia each year in animal shelters because there are no homes for them. And, the great majority of these animals are perfectly healthy, friendly and young. Because of this, great care should be taken to prevent pets from unplanned breeding, or breeding without homes available and waiting for the babies. The best solution to this problem is to spay your female pets and neuter your male pets.<br /><br />There are additional benefits to the pet owner for having this procedure performed on their pets: these benefits include the pet having, for the most part, a longer and healthier life; improved behavior and more responsiveness to their human family; increased safety as spayed and neutered pets are less likely to want to roam the streets outside and become injured or lost in search of a mate; no unwanted kittens; less tendency of the spayed or neutered pet to "mark" or damage household furnishings, and a marked decrease in many medical problems such as mammary cancers and uterine infections which are fairly common in unaltered cats.<br /><br />Simply put, spaying or neutering removes an animal's ability to reproduce. Spaying of females involves removing the female's uterus and ovaries surgically. Neutering involves the surgical removal of the male's testicles. Both surgeries are performed under general anesthesia, and are considered relatively safe, routine and painless. Usually, the animal is up and about within a day of their operation.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">BENEFITS OF SPAYING/NEUTERING YOUR FELINE</span><br /><br />There are many benefits to having your pet spayed or neutered. For females, having them spayed will prevent them from going through any more heat cycles. Un-spayed females normally come into heat several times a year, and these cycles can last from several days to several weeks, and include such behaviors as spraying of urine (yes, females can spray, too!!), marking with urine, howling, and some other obnoxious behaviors. Neutering a male before he reaches puberty almost always prevents completely the development of all mating behavior, which includes spraying urine and marking territory with urine, and the desire to roam outside searching for a mate. This in itself puts the cat at great risk for injury or even death from being hit by cars; being the object of human cruelty; infection and disease from other cats; death from natural predators, and cat fighting.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">THE SPAY OPERATION (FEMALES)</span><br /><br />Most frequently, it is recommended that female kittens be spayed at six months of age, or preferably before their first heat. The surgery, called "ovariohysterectomy", involves anesthetizing the animal, and the veterinarian makes an incision through which the cat's ovaries and uterus are removed. The surgical incision is then closed by either non-absorbable stitches (which must then be removed in approximately 7 to 10 days); or by sub-cuticular stitches, or by sutures that are placed below the skin and that gradually dissolve on their own in the body. There is another procedure that can be performed on female cats, and that is called a "tubal ligation", which is the surgical procedure which makes the female sterile, but does not prevent her from coming into heat and attracting males. Obviously, tubal ligation is not very popular for that very reason!!<br /><br />We are often asked whether or not female cats can still be spayed even if they are in the middle of a heat cycle. While most vets prefer to perform the surgery in cats not currently in heat, most surgeons will still spay a female kitten or cat when in heat. There is often a small additional charge for this, as there is more time and attention needed during the surgery due to the increased blood supply to the uterus during a heat cycle. But, spaying a kitten or cat in heat is far better than waiting and perhaps having other serious consequences to the feline occur, such as unwanted pregnancy, disease or illness contracted from other cats she may be seeking to mate with.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">THE NEUTER OPERATION (MALES)</span><br /><br />Another name for the neuter surgery performed on male cats is "castration&quot.<br /><br />Male cats are usually neutered between 5 1/2 and 9 months of age, before habits such as spraying urine are started. Neutering involves the removal of the source of sex hormones and sperm cells, which is the testicles. The two incisions are usually so small that stitches or sutures are not even needed. And, normally, the cat is sent home the very same day.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">NEUTERING VS. VASECTOMY IN MALES</span><br /><br />There is another procedure available for preventing fertility in males, and that is a "vasectomy". While a vasectomy renders a male cat sterile, it does not affect testosterone levels as long as the spermatic artery is kept intact. A vasectomized cat, in other words, can mate, but cannot father kittens. This procedure is rarely used for domestic male cats, because a vasectomized male cat would still have territorial issues, still perhaps be prone to fighting other cats to protect that territory, still wander and try to get outside in search of a mate, and still spray urine that has a very strong odor. Vasectomy is still a valid alternative for population control in feral cat colonies, however.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">WHAT AGE IS BEST TO SPAY/NEUTER?</span><br /><br />The best time to alter your pet is before the animal reaches puberty. Many experts feel that six months of age is an ideal time to spay or neuter. However, there have been numerous studies done that show that healthy kittens spayed or neutered as young as six weeks of age do quite well. The recovery of such young kittens is very quick, and to date, no negative significant concerns have been found. Spaying and neutering kittens and puppies that are healthy at a very young age is becoming a growing trend that has been endorsed by major humane organizations including the Humane Society of the United States, the American Veterinary Medical Association, the American Humane Association, and the Cat Fanciers' Association.<br /><br />Some people still feel that a kitten should be larger and stronger before undergoing the general anesthesia required to perform the surgery, and to allow more time for the urinary tract system to develop. Consult with your veterinarian and other veterinary health professionals that you trust to help you determine the right age for your kitten or cat. And, speaking of cats, unless your cat has a health problem, spaying/neutering is considered safe at ANY age!! Most of the time, the owners of mature cats -- as well as the cats themselves -- enjoy all the benefits of the spay/neuter surgeries also!!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">MORE REASONS TO SPAY/NEUTER</span><br /><br />Many families think they would like their children to experience the miracle of birth by having their beloved female kitty have "just one litter". However, when millions of families do this, we see the number of cats euthanized due to pet overpopulation continue to increase. Your library and public television are great sources for this sort of education, and also, locate reputable breeders in your area, and see if they will allow your children to visit when there are young kittens. Be sure to follow any instructions you are given by the breeders as to washing your hands, taking off your shoes, etc. Great care must be taken to protect the health of small kittens and the valuable animals in a breeding program. Professional breeding of purebred animals is a very expensive science involving a great commitment of time, effort, emotion and money. While many people may think that breeding animals would make a great second income...the reality is that little money, if any, can truly be made when the mother cat is properly cared for pre-pregnancy, during breeding and pregnancy, and post-pregnancy, and the kittens are all kept healthy, well fed, wormed, vaccinated, advertised and sold (this is assuming you are lucky enough to have healthy kittens in the first place, and a mother cat willing and able to care for them). The home must be thoroughly kitten-proofed, and even then, there are always going to be some "accidents" on the rugs and furnishings while the kittens are young and learning.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">NEW TECHNOLOGIES</span><br /><br />There is a spay procedure that is currently widely used in Europe but rarely utilized in the United States. This economically feasible surgical technique is called the "left lateral flank spay", and involves making a small incision through the lateral abdominal wall of the cat. Basically, this technique involves going through the side of the animal as opposed to the animal's stomach area. The animal is shaved on the left flank area, and veterinarians in England and France have found that this procedure is more cost effective, time efficient, and safe for the cats. Originally, this technique was developed for use on feral cats, who were going to be released into the wild within 48 hours of having the surgery.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Source: http://www.hdw-inc.com/spayneuter.htm</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-5844151357719051774?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-15027387563791555362007-02-02T15:47:00.000-06:002007-02-02T15:53:19.429-06:00<div class="post"> <h3 id="post-22"><a href="http://www.kittenbaby.com/litterbox-training.php" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Litter-box Training your Kitten">Litter-box Training your Kitten</a></h3> <div class="entry"> <p><strong>Cats don’t need to be trained to use a litter box - they just do it.</strong></p> <p>By understanding why they prefer to eliminate in a litter box will help their human owners not to make any mistakes in having and maintaining the “cat box”. It is a cat’s basic instinct (even big cats) to eliminate away from their food and sleeping area and to bury the waste in order to hide their position from other animals and protect their nests and young.<img alt="Kitten" title="Kitten" src="http://rainbowwildlife.com/pethaven/kitten2.jpg" align="right" /></p> <p>Most kittens start using the litter-box at the age of 3-4 weeks on their own. At this young age you can show the kitten where to go and it might happen a bit faster:</p> <p>Immediately after feeding your kitten, pick her up and gently place her in the litterbox. Scratch the litter a little with your fingers so she can get the idea. If she goes, praise her profusely. If she doesn’t, watch her closely for indications of wanting to go elsewhere. The instant you see her squatting, pick her up and gently place her in the litter-box.</p> <p>Never throw her in or scold her–it will only associate the box with unpleasant memories in her mind. Every time she uses the box, praise her profusely. You want her to associate her box usage with pleasure.</p> <p>Keep the box immaculately clean, by scooping it several times a day and changing the litter and washing and disinfecting the box at least twice weekly.</p> <p><strong> Here are a few things to consider about the litter box:</strong></p> <ul><li>Don’t place a litter box close to food or water.</li><li>Some cats do not like covered litter boxes. Not only does the odor tend to stay within the box if it is not kept scrupulously clean but large cats are often not able to achieve a comfortable position for elimination.</li><li>Being meticulous creatures, cats are reluctant to stand on/in half wet or soaking wet litter. If you are unable to clean the box often enough consider getting another box.</li><li>The litter box should only have about a half inch of inch of litter and it should be changed frequently. Cats and especially kittens do not like sinking into a soggy mound of smelly litter. Putting a small amount of litter into the pan saves litter and also means it is easier for you to change.</li><li>Don’t line the bottom of the litter pan with newspaper or use plastic liners. Newspaper smells and those plastic liners form wrinkles for urine and feces to hide. The plastic liners also tear easily.</li><li>If your cat soils a hard surface, it might be a sign that he prefers that type of surface. You might try putting litter on only half the bottom of the litter pan. You should never change brands of litter once you find one that is well liked.</li><li>Clumping litter should be avoided especially with kittens. This type of litter creates more dust, which settles on the kitten, is ingested when the kitten washes itself and then clump inside the kitten’s stomach.</li><li>Longhaired cats and declawed cats are especially sensitive to unclean, deep and smelly litter. A declawed cat’ paws are more sensitive to litter in general. Please read our stand on declawing.</li><li>Do not use harsh or odiferous sprays around the litter box. Cats frequently shy away from chemicals designed to mask odors. Masking bad odors with pleasant ones may be pleasant to you but not to your cat.</li><li>Lack of privacy can also cause problems. Interruption by children and sometimes other pets, such as a dog and loud household noises must be avoided. A quiet location for the litter box is a necessity.</li><li>Urinating outside the litter box is frequently the first sign of a bladder or kidney problem and if the problem persists the cat should be checked out by your veterinarian.</li></ul> </div> </div> <div class="post"> <h3 id="post-12"><a href="http://www.kittenbaby.com/dehydration.php" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Is the Kitty Dehydrated?">Is the Kitty Dehydrated?</a></h3> <div class="entry"> <p><img title="Tiger kitten" alt="Tiger kitten" src="http://www.abb4.com/images/tiggerkitten.gif" align="right" />Hydration is basically how much water we have in our system. Since water drives all of our metabolic functions, you can see why adequate hydration is essential.</p> <p>The easiest way to check how hydrated your kitten is, is to grasp the skin firmly but gently between the kitten’s shoulder blades, and lift it straight up with a twisting motion as you release it. If the kitten’s skin is well hydrated it will pop back within a second or less.</p> <p>The longer it takes the skin to return to its place, the more fluids your kitten needs.</p> <p>Treatment: A kitten that is noticeably dehydrated should receive prompt veterinary attention. Treatment is directed at replacing fluids and preventing further losses. In mild cases without vomiting, fluids can be given by mouth. If the kitten won’t drink, give an electrolyte solution by bottle or syringe into the cheek pouch.</p> <p>Balanced electrolyte solutions for treating dehydration in children are available at drugstores. They are given at the rate of two to four milliliters per pound body weight per hour, depending on the severity of the dehydration.</p> <p>Feed the solution every hour until the skin snaps back accordingly. Then start with a thin milk replacer mixed with the electrolyte solution.

Although your cat might use your hands or furniture for these activities, declawing is NOT the answer and there are many other ways to guide your cat to healthy claw activity.<br /><br /> <b>The declawing operation itself is the human equivalent of removing the first joint of all your fingers.</b> Many vets feel that the lack of these joints impairs the cat's balance and can cause weakness from muscular disease. Declawing also makes a cat feel defenseless and can affect their personality, making them skittish or nervous biters. In rescue work, we see many declawed cats that have been given up by their owners. Why? Because these cats still had behavioral problems that were worsened by not having their claws. So, if you are adamant about declawing your new cat, why not consider adopting a cat which has already been declawed?<br /><br /> <b>Take it from an expert.</b> Dr. Nicholas Dodman, author of <i>The Cat Who Cried For Help</i>, offers this perspective on the procedure:"Declawing involves more than simply trimming a cat's nails to the quick; it actually involves amputation of the tips of the digits, bones and all. The inhumanity of the procedure is clearly demonstrated by the nature of cats' recovery from anesthesia following the surgery. Unlike routine recoveries, including recovery from neutering surgeries, which are fairly peaceful, declawing surgery results in cats bouncing off the walls of the recovery cage because of excruciating pain. Cats that are more stoic huddle in the corner of the recovery cage, immobilized in a state of helplessness, presumably by the overwhelming pain. Declawing fits the dictionary definition of mutilation to a tee. Words such as <i>deform</i>, <i>disfigure</i>, <i>disjoint</i>, and <i>dismember</i> all apply to this surgery. Partial digital amputation is so horrible that it has been employed for torture of prisoners of war, and in veterinary medicine, the clinical procedure servesas a model of severe pain for testing the efficacy of analgesic drugs. Even though analgesic drugs can be used postoperatively, they rarely are, and their effects are incomplete and transient anyway, so sooner or later the pain will emerge.<br /><br /> <b>‘The operative removal of the claws, as is sometimes practiced to protect furniture and curtains, is an act of abuse and should be forbidden by law in all, not just a few countries.’(highly regarded British textbook by Turner and Bateson on the biology of cat behavior)</b> However quickly cats forget the hideous experience of declawing, and even though they may not hold grudges, that doesn't seem sufficient justification for putting a family pet through such a repugnant experience.""<br /><br /> <b>There are alternatives to declawing.</b> Exercise and play with your cat regularly. Give him a scratching post and teach him to use it. Trim your cat's nails on a regular basis. And, of course, talk to your vet or cat-owner friends about ways to "train" your cat to exercise its natural instincts in non-destructive ways. A squirt bottle is a great way to teach a cat not to scratch on particular surfaces. It doesn't hurt them and if you are persistent, they will get the message. There is also a product called Soft Paws. This is a fake nail which is not sharp at the tip, which fits over your cats claws. It is sold in pet stores and veterinarian clinics. And if you are adamant about having a kitty without claws, why not adopt a previously declawed kitty?<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">http://www.kittenrescue.org/declaw.htm</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-3927270101509376600?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-4700346918405908222007-01-28T08:57:00.000-06:002007-01-28T08:59:16.550-06:00<span style="font-size:130%;"><b>How to Tame a Feral Cat or Kitten</b></span><br /><br />With a little patience and time, a feral (or wild) cat can be tamed into a loving pet. Younger cats are more apt to adjust quickly: 6-to-8-week-old kittens typically take two to three weeks to adjust to a domestic environment.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><b><i>Instructions</i></b></span><br /><br /><b> * STEP 1: </b>Enclose the cat or kitten in a small space at first - a bathroom or bed-room works best.<br /><br /><b> * STEP 2: </b>Turn out the light if the cat is terrified; this often has a calming effect.<br /><br /><b> * STEP 3: </b>Put a bed, a litter box, food and water in the room. If the cat is very young (6 to 12 weeks), put her in a large carrier with a grated door and small windows.<br /><br /><b> * STEP 4: </b>Spend at least 2 to 3 hours a day with the animal. Just sitting quietly in the same room will allow the cat to learn that you are not a threat.<br /><br /><b> * STEP 5: </b>Gently compel the cat to let you touch her. Carefully wrap a blanket around her if you have to, hold her on your lap and pet her. Stroke her coat and touch her ears, face and neck as you talk to her in soothing tones. Even if the animal doesn't seem to be enjoying the attention, she is. Hold the cat by the scruff of the neck if she attempts to leave. (The mother cat will do this to carry or train a kitten'it doesn't hurt, and it actually relaxes the animal.)<br /><br /><b> * STEP 6:</b> Present special treats such as chicken or tuna, and leave them if the cat will not eat from your hand.<br /><br /><b> * STEP 7: </b>Gradually allow the cat to roam about in more rooms.<br /><br /><b> * STEP 8: </b>If the cat tries to run away from you repeatedly, enclose her in a smaller space and start again.<br /><br /><b>Tips & Warnings</b><br /><br />* Don't get discouraged early on; young feral cats can become very affectionate pets. Younger cats are more apt to adjust quickly: 6- to 8-week-old kittens typically take two to three weeks to adjust to a domestic environment. An older cat that has been wild for a long time is difficult and sometimes impossible to tame, and may be better left outside. If you catch one, have the animal spayed or neutered and vaccinated, and then turn the cat loose where caught, or contact a professional.<br /><br />* Handle feral cats with extreme caution. Use gloves and protective clothing as required. Cat bites and scratches can result in serious health problems.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">Source: <a href="http://www.ehow.com/how_6548_tame-feral-cat.html" target="_blank">http://www.ehow.com/how_6548_tame-feral-cat.html</a></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-470034691840590822?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-59949886280713906802007-01-26T10:24:00.000-06:002007-01-26T10:26:19.446-06:00Cats twitch the tips of their tails when hunting or angry, while larger twitching indicates displeasure. A tail held high is usually a sign of happiness. A half-raised shows less pleasure, and unhappiness is indicated with a tail held low. A scared or surprised cat may puff up its tail and the hair along its back and turn its body sideways to a threat in order to increase its apparent size. Cats with no tail, such as the Manx, who possess only a small stub of a tail move the stub around as though they possessed a full tail, though it is not nearly as communicative as that of a fully tailed cat. Touching noses is a friendly greeting for cats, while a lowered head is a sign of submission.<br /><br />Happy cats are known to paw their owners, or that on which they sit, with a kneading motion. Cats often use this action alongside purring to show contentment and affection for their owners. It is instinctive to cats, and cats use it when they are young to stimulate the mother cat's nipple to release milk during nursing. As a result, cats that are hand-raised by humans may lack this reflex. Also, pawing is a way for cats to mark their territory. The scent glands on the underside of their paws release small amounts of scent onto the person or object being pawed, marking it as "theirs" in the same way they would urinate to mark their territory.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.catfacts.org/body-language-cat-facts.htm"><span style="font-size:78%;">http://www.catfacts.org/body-language-cat-facts.htm</span></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/17626120-5994988628071390680?l=kittencare.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MissDolittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04033336027926000233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17626120.post-209974309023467542007-01-24T18:11:00.000-06:002007-01-24T18:16:12.405-06:00<p align="center"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 128);"><big><big><big>Amazing facts about cats!</big></big></big></span><br /></p> <p align="left"><big><big><big>Did you know...</big></big></big></p> <p align="left"> </p> <table msimagelist="" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr msimagelist=""> <td msimagelist="" valign="baseline" width="42"><br /></td> <td valign="top" width="100%"><p align="left"><big>Ailurophilia is the "love of cats."</big><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> </p> </td> </tr> <tr msimagelist=""> <td msimagelist="" valign="baseline" width="42"><br /></td> <td valign="top" width="100%"><p align="left"><big>The nose pad of a cat is ridged in a pattern that is unique, just like the fingerprint of a human.<br /> </big><br /> <br /> <br /> </p> </td> </tr> <tr msimagelist=""> <td msimagelist="" valign="baseline" width="42"><br /></td> <td valign="top" width="100%"><p align="left"><big>There are more than 500 million domestic cats in the world, with 33 different breeds.</big><br /> <br /> <br /> </p> </td> </tr> <tr msimagelist=""> <td msimagelist="" valign="baseline" width="42"><br /></td> <td valign="top" width="100%"><p align="left"><big>The American cat population reached nearly 68 million in 1996. <em>American Demographics</em> magazine estimates that's about 200 million kitty yawns per hour and a whopping 425 million catnaps each day!</big><br /> <br /> <br /> </p> </td> </tr> <tr msimagelist=""> <td msimagelist="" valign="baseline" width="42"><br /></td> <td valign="top" width="100%"><p align="left"><big>A cat's heart beats twice as fast as a human heart, at 110 to 140 beats per minute.</big><br /> <br /> <br /> </p> </td> </tr> <tr msimagelist=""> <td msimagelist="" valign="baseline" width="42"><br /></td> <td valign="top" width="100%"><p align="left"><big>25% of cat owners blow dry their cats hair after a bath.</big></p> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <p align="left"> </p> <table msimagelist="" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tbody><tr msimagelist=""> <td msimagelist="" valign="baseline" width="42"><br /></td> <td valign="top" width="100%"><p align="left"><big>The largest cat breed is the Ragdoll.
