Your Capricious Feline ~ Quick Cat Tips

Cat "meows" is a cat's own way to converse, to greet you, ask for your attention, and tell you they are lonely.

Cats are good at hiding pain. It is important to notice changes from normal behavior.

Cats should be spayed or neutered, so their offspring do not become part of the cat overpopulation. Too many are already "left out" in the search for a home.

Changes from the usual in a cat's behavior are either health or emotional related.

Cats need flea protection such as a topical once-a-month "spot on" for their comfort and protection against disease. And no one wants fleas!

Many cats are lactose intolerant. Milk and other dairy products can cause stomach upset.

The holidays are not a good time to introduce a new cat into the home. Ideally, they need to be brought into a calm environment.

A new environment, like a different home, a new person in the household, even moved furniture, can be a difficult adjustment for a cat.

Cats should have annual veterinary exams to keep aware of their overall health.

Cats can develop chronic diseases such as bladder dysfunction, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease.

Cats being curious as they are, can consume dangerous substances, such as antifreeze.

Being self cleaning, whatever cats walk through, or get on their coats, they ingest.

Caffeine, alcohol, macadamia nuts, as well as chocolate is toxic to cats.

Pennies, pine oils, potpourri oils, and tobacco are toxic to cats.

Many plants, including evergreen, mistletoe and lilies are toxic to cats.

Effective cat names are short and end with a long "ee" sound, like Molly, Tony or Teddy.

Cats don't like "hissing" sounds or "swishing" sounds.

Cats love grass. It aids in their digestion. Extra care should be used with pesticides.

Nailcaps come in a rainbow of colors, and can be applied to claws. Declawing can cause a cat a lifetime of pain.

Cats should have lightweight "breakaway" collars, so if they get caught on an obstruction, they are not choked.

A diet of mainly hard food reduces tooth plaque.

Litter boxes should be cleaned, "scooped" daily. Cats like them clean!
