That’s about all the questions i have.Try to answer as much as you can.Thanx! <3
Whoops! I forgot to ask one more question.
BONUS: Where should i search online for adoptions besides petfinder?
1) just like you’d tell a human boy from a human girl.
Do not have any on the computer
2) Take it to the vet every 6 months, the vet will do it along with the checkup.
3) Kittens are all right anywhere, but just be prepared to clean up messes
4) yes, it may accidentally scratch you a few times, but just teach it not to step on your face or anywhere else you do not want it
5) I would not recommend that, but it is a personal choice. Just consider the dangers, such as fleas or cars, before deciding.
6) Keep an eye on them, as cats tend to fight while getting used to each other
7) any kind
9) I would just give them cat treats
10) They love it, but when they are sleeping, let them sleep
Search online for your local pound. Every pound has a web site.
Hope that helps!
1. they will tell you, or you will know when looking at there genitals
2. get cat nail clippers, they sell them at the dollar store.
3. yes
4. yes, they will sleep with you or room around your room like crazy
5. no, cats don’t always come back, especially if they’re not fixed (instincts)
6. yes, if they get along, might take time
10. depends on the cat, but from experience, giving kittens attention when they’re young, helps them become more sociable when they grow up. Just don’t do anything to frighten the kitten when it’s young, or it might grow up skittish.
Thanks for asking! Here are my choices:
1. You can usually ask a vet to do this if you’re uncomfortable, but males will have what human males have, and females what female humans have.
2. Personally I wouldn’t suggest cutting their nails, but you could ask a vet or groomer to do it, or buy pedipaw and follow the instructions on that.
4. Kittens will chew and claw and bite, but not to much, but just so you’re aware of that.
5. NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!! The kitten will get lost, scared out of it’s wits, get taken to a pound, stolen, run over, you name it! It’s like leaving you’re toddler outside alone! I would not suggest it at all!
6. Yes, but the first time you go away be sure to leave them in two separate rooms with the doors in-between shut, just so they don’t hurt each other. Always surperrvise their interactions.
7. Personally I like Main Coon.
8. Sorry I don’t have mine downloaded onto my computer but he looks exactly like a main coon.
9. I would not suggest it because you might accidentally feed the kitten something fatally harmful. Just stick to cat food. (i.e. mine LOVES wet kitten food fancy feast)
10. I would suggest carefully holding and gently petting the kitten from the start. It makes them more sociable and used to human touch.
BONUS: I would not search online most are just frauds. Do you have a PetSmart or Petco anywhere near your house? They usually have shelters who advertise there. Just ask a cashier.
TIPS: Don’t feed your kitten milk, as they can’t handle the protein and are subject to diahreha. Feeding your new kitten 1/3 cup of kitten chow two-three times a day, or adding in half a can of wet kitten food would be a healthy diet. Make sure you don’t have any open vents or whole in your home, because cats don’t have collar bones, and anything their heads can get through, so can the rest of their body.
ENJOY YOUR NEW KITTEN!
Hope I helped!
PS Talk to your vet on your cat’s first check-up and have them explain anything you might need to know.
I have one answer for you that has everything specifically written there here’s the website: http://www.petsmart.com
1boy cats have 1 hole,girl cat has 2
2i dont recomment cutting their nails yourself,if i were you i’d leave the 3nails alone or ask your vet
4yes b they make good companions and no bc they claw furniture
5if it gets attached to you it wont
6with food and water yes
7tabbys and short haired
8 my 3 cats are 2yrs old and 13yrs old
9 yes mix dry food with milk and heat it for 30sec and stir it
10mine do but it depends on the personality of your cat(s)
11 check your local animal shelter and or vet they’ll be the best help
1. check under the tail, girls have the two little holes (anus and vagina) closer than a male does
2. cat nails (as dogs) are very sensitive area, it means if you cut them it you may cause pain for them, i will suggest leave the nails, but it also can be declaw where they remove the kitten claws from root and it won’t grow up again in its life
3.yes, they are goods for apartments, i have two cats and i live in an apartment, but make sure ur landlord is ok with it and try to have good hygiene with litter boxes and food bowls
4.he won’t scratch you while you sleep… usually you get closer to them if you allow em to sleep with you. i let my two cats sleep with me all the time if i fall sleep in the living room they come next to me and sleep
5.no, outside cats face a lot of danger and predators, cars, dogs, other cats, can kill them… i will suggest neutered the cat and make him stay inside all the time, he will only need you, buy some toys and give him/her a lot of love
6. yes, but you have to follow some steps to introduce one to another read this http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/our_pets_for_life_program/cat_behavior_tip_sheets/introducing_pets_to_a_new_cat.html
7. siamese, very loyal, proud, smart and silly XD
8.
9.don’t know how to cook… sorry.
10. 99% does… they loved it and never get tired of it… usually if he is tired or want to be alone he will walk away and hide… so you know you have to give him space
and last. i would check with the local shelter… you will help a rescued animal plus most of the animals in shelter has their shots and got neutered
[...] Can you answer my cat questions? [...]
