How To Stop Your Cat Spraying

The cat backs up to the door, lifts the tail and releases a fine spray of urine. Yes, your cat is spraying. You have a problem. But one you can solve.

Figures from the British Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors say that aggression in dogs and marking behavior in cats are the biggest behavior problems in the UK pet population.

Spraying is marking behavior, not a litter box problem. Sprayed cat urine contains pheromones, a substance that animals use to communicate. Combinations of pheromones work like fingerprints: they identify the cat.

How To Stop Your Cat Spraying

A spraying cat marks his or her territory with cat urine. It simply says: 'This is mine'. You may not like it, but getting angry doesn't help. It may even have an opposite effect: more spraying.

Cats in heat are attracted by the odor of cat urine. For them, spraying is something like an invitation to love. The results may be there in 65 days: a nest of cute little kittens.

Cats do not only spray during sexual encounters. Some also do it during conflicts with other felines, or when they are stressed.

For people the scent is far from pleasant. Thankfully most cats spray outside. But what if you have a cat spraying inside? Do something about it! And yes, that is possible.

The most radical and effective thing you can do is neutering or spaying your cat. Most castrated toms stopped spraying from the day they were operated.

But maybe you have a reason not to neuter your cat. In that case try to find out why your cat sprays.

Maybe it sprays only when it sees another cat. Solution: block the view. Or it sprays because of a conflict with another pet. Keep them separated and problems might be over.

If you don't know why your cat sprays, discuss it with your veterinarian. Chances are he will advice you to spay or neuter. But your vet can also check if there is a medical problem.

Anyway, do not leave this problem unsolved. Cat urine odor and stains can make your home a very uncomfortable place, and your cat will still remain a cat even when it doesn't spray anymore.

Blindness in Cats - Five Common Causes of Feline Blindness

Cats naturally have superior vision. However, there are various conditions that can cause blindness in cats. Some of these conditions include hypertension, glaucoma, and cancer. Let's take a look at some of these causes of feline blindness.

Hypertension

Kittens Cats

Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is one of the leading causes of blindness in cats. If left untreated, the pressure can cause the retina to rupture. This can occur in just a matter of days. Cats that have kidney disease, diabetes, or hyperthyroidism have the highest risk of developing hypertension.

Blindness in Cats - Five Common Causes of Feline Blindness

An early sign that your cat is suffering from high blood pressure is the presence of dilated pupils. The pupils won't respond to a change in light, and there also may be blood in your cat's eye. Hypertension is dealt with by treating the underlying cause. Your cat may also need to start eating foods low in sodium.

Glaucoma

One of the next common causes of feline blindness is glaucoma. Glaucoma is a condition in which there is too much pressure within the eye. It is also a common problem for humans. If your cat is diagnosed in the early stages, the pressure may be reduced via medications. If it has already progressed, your cat may need surgery to correct the problem.

Cancer

Another cause of blindness in cats is cancer. Tumors can grow in or around the eye. In most cases, the eye will need to be surgically removed. However, it is usually replaced with a prosthetic eye to give a more natural look.

Atrophy

Progressive retinal atrophy is an untreatable condition that leads to feline blindness. Most cats suffer from this condition because they inherited it. The disease progresses slowly over time, but will lead to total blindness.

Kidney Disease

One of the final common causes is kidney disease. It is common for older cats to suffer problems like chronic renal failure as they age. Unfortunately, chronic renal failure leads to hypertension. As stated earlier, hypertension can easily cause sudden blindness in cats if the retina ruptures.

Paws Here!

Ever since I can remember, I have loved animals. Cats and dogs were my main interest. I used to walk home from school and if a stray cat started to follow me, I would encourage it and then tell my mother that it just happened to be there.!! Of course, then it had to be fed, and found shelter and would become a constant companion.

As I grew older, I tried to be more sensible, knowing that it cost money to feed animals, and it was not fair to my parents to incur these additional costs. However, I would still sneak a kitten up to my room hoping that it would share my own supper. I remember as a child, finding a kitten out in the middle of the very busy highway that ran past my house. With no thought to my safety, I ran out into the middle of the highway to rescue it. My mother nearly had a heart attack, and I got sent to bed with no supper.

Kittens Cats

My parents finally bought me a dog, I called him "Teddy". I loved this dog to distraction and he went everywhere with me. When we would go shopping down our main street, Teddy would always be with me, and I would tell him my secrets and he would cock his head to one side and listen in silence,

Paws Here!

I was having a birthday party, and my mother had been baking all day for the event. I was asked to go to the local store to get some napkins for the party and I called Teddy to go with me. I was so excited, that I must have talked to Teddy all the way and in his usual manner, he wagged his tail, cocked his head to one side and patiently listened.

On our return journey, I met a friend from school and took a few moments to talk with her. While my attention was taken up with our discussion, I did not notice that on the opposite side of this busy road,a large white dog was running up and down barking.

Teddy, who usually stayed close to me, decided to investigate this stranger and ran towards the dog, by the time I turned to speak to him he had started to move across the road, never stopping to see the delivery truck bearing down on him. He never had a chance. The truck driver tried to avoid him, but it was too late.

I watched in horror, my feet rooted to the ground, as Teddy, my beloved friend, was hurled high in the air before landing on the grass verge at the side of the road. He lay very still, covered in blood and my heart seemed to stop beating. It felt like hours had passed, when in fact, the whole tragedy had taken place in a few minutes. I was shaking, my legs like jelly and I could hear someone screaming, I realized the voice was mine.

I ran across the street to get to him and by this time the truck driver got out of his cab and was about to lift Teddy up when I reached him.

I knew my dog was dead, but I carried him in my arms, talking to him as I always did, but this time, there was no response. No tail wagging, no quizzical look on his face, just a broken little body. When I arrived home, my mother received a terrible shock, as my clothes were covered in blood and she thought the worst, that I had been in an accident.

When she realized what had happened, as I tried to tell her through my tears, she wanted to take the dog from me, but I wouldn't let him go, so she helped me out to our back yard and called my father. He gently explained that Teddy would have to be put to rest and that he would bury him under our old apple tree, Teddy's favorite place for lying in the shade.

Although I was only 10 years old, I knew that death was final,
no more could I play with my beloved friend, talk to him when I was sad or take him to the park to chase the ducks. It was a final goodbye.

We carried on with the party, as other children were coming and would not know of the circumstances. I slipped out from the festivities and visited the newly dug grave with a piece of Teddy's favorite cake, which he was never supposed to have, but now I felt I wanted to share it with him. My eyes filled with tears and I thought my heart would break. As in the face of all loss, I thought I would never get over it.

I have had many many pets in my life since then, but the loss of that dear little mutt, stayed in my heart, forever.

For Ragdoll Cat Lovers - Ragdoll Cat Personality

The ragdoll cat personality is often what attracts cat owners to the breed. On the outside the ragdoll is large, medium haired, beautifully coloured, blue eyed breed of cat. Inwardly, they exhibit strange personality traits that set them aside from many other breeds of cat. While there are many myths and generalizations surrounding the good nature of this exotic breed, more often than not the myths are founded in truths.

The ragdoll cat personality is one generalized as being a cautious mix of intelligence and a gentle, trusting nature. While many ragdoll cats can be attributed to these personality traits, there are many more who deviate from the norm. It would be too general to say that all ragdoll cats are intelligent, just as in any breed there is diversity, and there is obviously the force of nurture to take into consideration.

Kittens Cats

Certainly the standard ragdoll cat is a gentle, kindly creature, which would much rather spend time with you and those in your family, then go roaming out and about. Then again, ragdoll's are rarely given the opportunity to be roamers - they are frequently and rightly kept as indoor cats, being far too trusting and lacking the street smarts of other outdoor cat breeds.

For Ragdoll Cat Lovers - Ragdoll Cat Personality

They tend to be laid back and far too passive for the outside world, their lack of violent tendencies often mean they are unlikely to fight back, even if threatened, causing no end of scrapes and problems in the outside world.

The myths tell us the ragdoll was named as such due to their tendency to flop while being held in your arms, but they are not alone in this, many other cats if they trust you will go limp when you hold them. Perhaps then the ragdoll is simply more trusting and flops when they barely know you at all; this trusting nature is often seen as a very attractive quality in the ragdolls.

Ragdolls love people, they love other cats, they love other pets and stranger even, they appear to love water. A ragdoll will happily play in running water for hours, apparently fascinated by the wetness of it! They have even been known to attempt to join their owners in the bath or shower, setting them aside from most other cat breeds, traditionally known as water haters. For this reason, outside the ragdoll can easily end up drowning, they must be kept away from ponds, swimming pools and other large bodies of water, even if supervised.

Ragdoll cats will happily spend days curled up on you lap, purring, meowing to you, they are not known for their independence, unlike many other breeds, you will find the ragdoll to exhibit co-dependence, a good thing for some owners, a markedly annoying trait for others, but however you view being followed around all day, be prepared to step on a few tails several times a day, you might not even realize they are stood right behind you.

But despite all the hype regarding their 'laid back' nature, and the ability to adapt to living with almost any animal, remember, just like us, each cat is different, and will exhibit different traits, don't just assume that the ragdoll cats personality will be the 'typical' or standardized one, prepare for individual differences and you wont be disappointed.

Growth Patterns - From a Kitten to a Cat

It can be absolutely amazing to watch a teeny 5 ounce kitten grow into being an 8-12 pound cat over the course of one year. How does the kitten get there? How can you best support the kitten's growth? I hope to answer these questions for you in this article.

A cat is considered a kitten from birth until about three years of age. This includes the baby and adolescent years. From three years old until seven years old a cat is an adult. Once the cat turns seven, they are considered a senior. Most cats live between ten and twelve years old, but it is not unheard of for healthy cats to live into their late teens, I've even met a few in their twenties! To get a cat to live this long, you will need to take them to the vet regularly and feed them good cat food.

Kittens Cats

When a kitten is first born, it is helpless, much like a newborn human baby. It needs to be fed and taken care of. If the mother is around, you can let her do most of the work, as she is trained by nature to do so. In the first five weeks, do not feed the cat anything, the mother's milk will be enough. If the mother is not around, you will need to feed it a milk replacement. You can get this at a pet store or on Amazon. Do not feed any cat or kitten cow's milk. It is very bad for them.

Growth Patterns - From a Kitten to a Cat

For the first few years, you will want to feed the kitten only kitten food. This has extra calories and proteins in it that help support the rapidly growing kitten. A baby kitten needs to be fed about four times a day, as the kitten gets older, you can lower this down to two times daily.

Make sure to play with the kitten as much as possible. This will help socialize the kitty and make him much more friendly in the future. While playing, you will also want to teach the cat things like not to play using his claws and that biting is not okay. Teaching a kitten these things is much easier than teaching an adult cat.

Helping a kitten grow into being a full sized, well adjusted, adult cat can be very rewarding. It is definitely worth all the time spent feeding and playing. This cat will love you for the rest of his life.
