2 Comments on Should I Have a Male or a Female Cat ?

I have had both male and female cats over the years. There is not a lot of difference between the two sexes.

Male cats seem to put up with more than female cats will. A male cat will let you hold him longer. Neutered Toms are very gentle and loving. Male cats that are not neutered may spray your furniture. My male cats have always seemed more relaxed and easygoing than the females. My male cats do not seem to live as long as my female cats.

Female cats are gentle but are not as tolerant as male cats. Female cats like to be held on their terms. A female cat prefers to jump on your lap instead then you picking her up and putting her on your lap. She will lay on your lap for a short period. My female cats do not like to be brushed for a long time. They want their grooming to be over very quickly.

Both male and female cats love to play with cat toys. Both sexes of cats love to be patted on their head and scratched under the chin. Males and females love to snuggle up in bed with you—both male and female cats like a warm and cozy place for their afternoon naps. Male or female cats will give you a lot of joy and love.

I have had many male and female cats in my lifetime. The male and female cats have given me great joy over the years. Either sex of cat that you choose will love you the same.

Whatever sex of cat you choose, you will have a companion that will give you great joy and love for many years.

Cats Toy Box

Cats like a variety of toys to play with. They get bored with the same old cat toy day after day. Cats like bright-colored balls to chase around the house after or throw up in the air. My cats love toys filled with catnip. The catnip toys entice your cat into playing with the toy for an extended period without losing interest in the cat toy.

Some of my cat’s favorite cat toys are circle ball toys, small stuffed animals, toy mice that are gray, black, or white, an air wand with a fish on the end of the string, plastic frogs, plastic reptiles, sparkle balls, and singing birds—catnip-filled toys of all shapes, etc.

I watch what types of toys my cats like best, and then when the cat toy is worn out, I replace it with a similar one. I have purchased many singing bird cat toys, mice, balls, and catnip-filled toys. My cats will spend a lot of time batting balls around in a circle toy for cats.

I purchased the robotic cat Zoomer, and my cats were fascinated with him. They would follow after him when he purred and moved his tail around. Zoomer made a loud hissing noise that shocked my cats for a little while. They decided the robotic cat was not so bad after all, as he was not in competition for any of their cat treats.

I let my cats choose the toys they want to play with for the day. I put all their cat toys back in their box. Some of the toys from yesterday reappear the next day with different toys. Sometimes a toy they seem to have forgotten about will be a new highlight of interest for them once again.

I buy a lot of my cat toys online and at my local pet stores. I like to watch demos of cats playing with cat toys in stores or online as it gives me some idea of how my cats may interact with that particular cat toy. I hope you and your cat will be entertained for hours with your cat’s new toys.

2 Comments on Tom Cats and Their Own Kittens

My Tom cat Peter is an excellent father. Peter loves to watch his kittens play. He lets the kittens play with his tail now and then.

I have watched Peter looking at his kittens. One day, he sat on the floor staring at his kittens as if he could not believe they were his ones. Peter will sit on a high shelf and watch his kittens play until he falls asleep. Peter will wrestle gently with his kittens. I have seen him with his paw wrapped around one of his kittens.

Hilford and Sherlock love to hide back a piece of plywood with their father, Peter. He is never mean to his kittens. Peter never growls or hits his kittens with his paws. He is a very kind and loving father. Sherlock was scratching the scratching post one morning, and Peter joined in.

If Peter thinks his kittens are not behaving correctly, he will step in the middle of their disagreements and break up any harmful interactions between his kittens. Mr. Gray likes to wrestle with his father. Peter always plays with him gently and kindly.

Peter loves to be up on a shelf or cat bed shelf or lying back on his piece of plywood. Peters’s mother was timid, and Peter took after her. Mr. Gray is very outgoing and playful. Hilford and Sherlock are very shy, like their father.

I gave Leo and Cleo away to a very loving and caring home. They were more outgoing and playful than their mother, Addy. Leo and Cleo like to sit up on something high as their father does.

Peter worships his kittens, and he watches over them every day. His kittens love to take a nap next to him. I will find them with their paws wrapped around each other in total comfort.

Taking Care of Your Pregnant Cat and Her Nursing Kittens

1 Comment on Taking Care of Your Pregnant Cat and Her Nursing Kittens

Ensure you take your pregnant cat to your vet to ensure she and her kittens are well. Keep your pregnant cat in a safe and warm area.

When I have a pregnant cat, I give her extra vitamins and food supplements in her daily diet. I also started giving her powdered milk mixed with water. I provide the pregnant cat with fancy cat food or tuna canned in water. I want her to be in prime condition before she gives birth to her kittens.

Make up a clean area for her to have her kittens in. A box with old towels or blankets in it works well. Outdoor cats, a place enclosed with fresh hay or straw. You will want the kittens to stay warm and dry after birth to prevent sickness later.

Kittens are born 63 days after their parents mating. Your Mother cat will generally have one to eight kittens in her litter. Once your female cat gets to be sixteen years old, she stops having kittens. Several days before giving birth, your Mother cat will be very restless. She will go to the box where she will have her kittens and rearrange the towels. It generally takes three hours to one full day for her to have all of her kittens. If you notice your cat having trouble giving birth, call your vet ASAP.

After the kittens are born, I still give my Mother cat extra fancy food and powdered milk mixed with water. You want to keep her extra healthy since she is losing nutrients when her kittens nurse her. If she is healthy, her kittens will most likely also be beneficial.

Some of my Mother’s cats have had their breast get raw and bitten by their kittens. I place a small round bandage over the natural breast until it looks healed. Your Mother cat will feel much better by you putting the application on her injured breast.

I hope your cat has a healthy litter of kittens. Remember to give your kittens all of their necessary shots at your vet.

Picking Out A Kitten

Before picking out a kitten, remember your kitten’s life span is possibly up to eighteen years or longer.

Make sure the kitten is the most outgoing one in the litter. Its eyes should be bright. The tail should be upright. The hair should look bright and shiny. It should be very alert to its surroundings. Make sure the kitten interacts well with you.

Do you want long hair or short hair for your kitten? Make sure the kitten has gone through a vet check. Do you have enough time to train your kitten? Do not bring a kitten into a house with an elderly cat. Your old cat does not want to be tormented by a young playful kitten.

Christmas has come and gone, and chances are you know someone who has received a kitten for Christmas. I have found from experience that it is good to have the following on hand when you bring home a new kitten:

litter box and litter scoop
kitten food
K and H heated cat bed
assorted kitten toys
water bowl
cat/kitten litter
food bowl
pet grooming tools (claw trimmers, brush, comb, shampoo, and toothbrush)
pet first aid kit
a book on kitten care

Check your kitten for ear mites, as it is no fun to have the kitten scratching at its ears. In case you don’t know what ear mites look like, they look like little microscopic pieces of black sand. If your kitten has ear mites, I recommend taking a cotton ball soaked in hydrogen peroxide and rubbing it around in their ears.

Make sure you have time to play with your new kitten. I like a stick with feathers for them to bat with their paw. Have plenty of bright-colored toy mice and balls to keep them out of mischief.

How are you and your new kitten adjusting to each other?
