An upset digestive system can cause diarrhea, especially in younger cats. Take their food away for one to two days to see if their diarrhea disappears. Never take away their water because they need water to replace fluids lost by having diarrhea. Diarrhea causes one to become dehydrated quickly. Put out fresh water for your cat every day. A dry cat can die.

Changing brands of cat food can cause diarrhea. Overeating foods can cause diarrhea. A cat that eats raw or rotten meat can get diarrhea. Too much milk in your cat’s diet can cause diarrhea.

A relocated cat can get diarrhea from the stress of being relocated. Worms can cause severe diarrhea in cats.

Feeding your cat white rice with a bit of butter can help relieve your cat’s diarrhea. Canned pumpkin also will help your cat with getting over diarrhea. Your vet sells exceptional canned, dry cat food formulated especially for cats with diarrhea. I have fed my cat canned food for diarrhea, which helped considerably. Your vet also sells pills that will help relieve your cat’s diarrhea. I gave these pills to my cats, which were entirely cured in five days.

The only times my cats have gotten diarrhea is either from worms or being relocated.

I try to keep all of my cats wormed regularly. Do not change foods suddenly, as this can cause digestive issues.

If your cat seems lazy and is not improving, bring him to your vet ASAP.

I hope your cat never develops any digestive issues.

Benefits of Having a Cat

I love to sit in a chair and watch my cats. Cats are very relaxing to watch. I love to watch them clean themselves with their paw. It is relaxing to watch a sleeping cat. A cat can help you settle down after a stressful day.

It has been proven that owning a pet helps lower your blood pressure. People that own pets tend to live longer. Cats are an excellent company. Cats are good listeners and never talk back to you.

Cats are good mousers. Cats can catch and kill rabbits that eat away in your garden. Some of my cats have even killed a rat outdoors. Some cats and dogs become the best of friends.

If you are sad and lonely, having a cat in the house will help you have a brighter and happier day. Listening to a cat purr is very relaxing.

Kittens are so much fun to watch. It is fun to watch them play with their mother’s tails. Watching them pounce on leaves that fly around in the wind is fun. A kitten’s curiosity is boundless. Kittens will give you many hours of enjoyment.

Watching your cat throw toy mice up in the air and catch them is a joy. I like to watch my cats chase after balls. My cats love to cuddle with their catnip toys from LoopiesToys.Com. My cat Conrad plays a circle game with a light-up ball in the middle. I like to watch him having fun with that cat toy.

Cats are genuinely excellent companions. A cat can give you many years of happiness, joy, and love. A cat is there for you when you wake up in the morning. When I come home from a long day, my cats meet me at the door. Having a cat is awesome.

Whats Upsetting My Cat ?

Cats like consistency. They do not like changes whatsoever.

I will give you a list of things that may upset your cat:

new cat in the house
a new piece of furniture
a different person in your house
new appliance
different cat litter
different cat food
new bedspread
you’re leaving on a vacation

Your cat might stop using his litter box because he dislikes the new kitten you bought at home. He may start scratching up your furniture.

When I have gone on vacation, my cats have gotten into mischief. They have knocked things down and scattered any paperwork that may be laid out. My cats vomit when I am gone for a long time. They get a nervous stomach. Your cat may have loose stools while you are gone. Leave some clothes out or a blanket that has your scent on it. Leaving these out may calm your cat.

I have had cats quit using their litter box for a while because a new couch was bought into the house. Put the pillows from your old sofa on it for a time. The old pillows will have that familiar scent on them.

When you change cat food, always have the old food available until you are sure they are enjoying the new food.

Have another litter box with your old brand when changing to a different cat litter. This will prevent accidents. I had a new brand of cat litter that the cats would not even go near the litter box with the latest waste in it.

When you buy anything new, introduce your cat slowly and place something with a familiar scent on it.

A new kitten should be placed in a cage or bathroom where they can smell each other through the door. Leave the new kitten there for at least a week, then let him loose. They should all get along fine now.

Make all changes gradually if you can.

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?
