Constant Grooming Beyond What Is Normal
Some cats will lick themselves until they have a bald spot or spots. Some cats are lonely or bored lick themselves beyond the ordinary for something to occupy their time. Have games and toys for your cat to play with so boredom does not sink in for your overall cat’s health and mental well-being. If your cat keeps licking their behind, it may have a urinary tract infection or worms that your vet should treat ASAP. A cat with fleas will clean and clean itself and itch itself until they remove some hair or have raw spots that could get infected. Take your cat to your Vet to get treated for fleas and have your home cleaned by a professional pest person, as fleas multiply very fast and will bite you to pieces.
Teeth And Your Cats Health
Have your cat’s teeth checked and cleaned when your Vet tells you your cat’s teeth need cleaning to prevent significant health problems. A cat may roll his tongue around in his mouth if he has a bad tooth or stops eating his usual amount of cat food and loses weight rapidly. Bad teeth can affect your cat’s heart and brain. A cat with bad teeth will not live long if not cared for properly. Help your cat keep its pearly whites in good form.
Too Many Cats In Your Home
Each cat in your home should have 1.5 litter boxes per cat. Cats do not like to share their litter boxes with too many cats. Your cat may do his business outside his litter box if he deems it not clean enough. Humans also like clean restrooms, or we may drive down the road looking for one. Clean your litter box out entirely and put all fresh litter in it often, and you and your cat will be happy with a clean and nice-smelling litter box.
Cats And Anxiety
Cats can get nervous when we go on a vacation and leave them. They may be afraid of the person caring for them and will not eat as much as usual. They may knock some things off a shelf because they are upset that you left them. Some anxious cats have eaten some of their wool cat toys or blankets, so do not leave these items out if you will be gone for a while. Never leave string toys out, as your cat could swallow the string and die from it, as it could cause a blockage in their digestive system. Anxious cats will hide if they sense a storm is coming, and they meow and yowl loudly. All of my house cats are excellent weather predictors. If a stranger comes into your home, your cat may pee on his clothes because he is upset with a new person in the house, and cats do not like any changes to their daily routines. One woman had a new boyfriend, and every time he would try to kiss her, her cat would hiss and growl and try to bite him. Her cat finally grew accustomed to him because he would pat the cat gently and talk to him in a calm voice. Remember, your feline friend is doing his best to please you. I hope you and your cats can live anxiety-free lives.
