How To Travel With Cat

The traveling cat


Cats are not very good travelers, so if your cat has to go on a journey, place it in a suitable carrier. Cat carriers are made from wicker, wire, plastic, and cardboard. The carrier should be strong and well ventilated. Never let a cat roam free on the back seat of a car or leave a cat alone in a car on a warm day - if you must leave a cat unattended, make sure there is ventilation and keep it out of direct sunlight. If the journey lasts for more than half an hour, stop to let the cat use a litter box and ro eat and drink.

How To Travel With Cat Tips

Iraveling cats should be conjfned in a proper cat carrier.

1 Place the cat carrier in an enclosed - space, so that if your cat struggles free, you will be able to catch it quickly.
2 When the cat is inside the carrier, check that the door is securely fastened, and then lake it to the car.

When you move

Cats have a strong homing instinct, so when you move, help your cat acclimatize tobits new surroundings Do not place your cat in the moving van, but take it with you in your car. On arrival, provide it with food, water, and a litter box.

HOW TO DEAL WITH A TIMID CAT

HOW TO DEAL WITH A TIMID CAT

help timid cat

A timid cat holds its tail down between its legs and usually has a wary look in its eyes. It will
also probably run away and hide when confronted with a stranger. Cats are not usually timid and if
your cat suddenly demonstrates any of these signs, it could be due to a sudden change in its routine. If a kitten is timid, it may be that it has never become accustomed to people.

How to help a timid cat

 Reassuring Touch
Slowly accustom the cat to being touched. Stroke and speak to it softly Reward it with a little food.

A Refuge
A sheltered area, such as a covered bed, helps a timid cat to feel secure and gives it a refuge when it is scared.

Hope these simple tips will help you to deal with your timid cat!

Two or more cats in the house

Two or more cats in the house


Q Two of our three cats often gang up on the other one—for example, pushing her out of her
favorite napping spot. How can we help them get along?

A Cats like to roughhouse, so it's important to figure out whether you're observing bullying or normal play. These animals are dramatic—hissing, screaming, acting all tough—even when they're not upset. But if anyone's getting hurt, it needs to stop.

Never leave the gang together unsupervised if you suspect actual fighting could occur. Keep them in separate rooms or crates. Be careful not to encourage aggressive behavior when you interact with them—simply stop playing if anybody gets too feisty. (Yelling at your pets will only fuel the hostility.) Reward good conduct with praise and treats. You should also create a few new resting places on shelves or other high spots so each pet has a safe area to nap. Extra litter boxes (a total of at least four) will cut down on territorial issues. If the harassment continues, a squirt of water from a spray bottle should nip that in the bud.


One of my clients has 33 cats who, occasional shrieks aside, have learned to coexist in peace. Yours will, too—with a little guidance from you.

Kitten litter

Kitten litter and litter boxes

A kitten or cat needs access to a litter box if it is not able to go outside when
it wants to. The litter tray may become redundant once a kitten is fully immunized and has learned to use its cat flap into the garden, although it is
preferable to encourage your cat to stay in at night. Even when very young, kittens are inherently clean and will not soil their bed. If a cage or crate is being used during the settling- in period, it should be large enough to
contain a litter box.



There is a wide range of products available, from basic plastic litter boxes to
covered litter box models with entrance flaps and filters to minimize odor. The key point about litter boxes is that they must be easy to clean, and tough
enough to withstand frequent washing and disinfecting. They should also be
in a position that is easy to clean.

Toxoplasmosis is an infection that can be shed in a cat's feces without the cat
showing any signs of disease. It is, however, a hazard to humans, especially pregnant women. Disposal of feces less than 24 hours after passing and regular cleaning of litter boxes with plenty of water and detergent is effective in the control of toxoplasmosis. Some household products contain ingredients, which, although fine for use in the home, can be toxic to cats. The staff at your vet's should be able to advise on these.

LITTER OPTIONS


The various litter products available should be acceptable to the cat, reduce odor and absorb urine. It should also be easy for the cat to scrape the litter over any feces deposited, which it does instinctively.

Sawdust, woodshavings, cinders, ash and newspapers are not advised; nor
ire some pine-wood products that can be irritants.

Clay, wood and paper-based litters: some are highly absorbent, others are superfine and form clumps when wet.



Kitten litter

Kittens arc instinctively clean. This feral kitten was abandoned by its mother and when a litter box was provided, automatically began to use it after being shown it once.

The life span of a cat


How long cats live


From about the age of ten to twelve years, a cat may begin to who signs of growing old. This may not be immediately apparent as the slowing down process is very gradual. The life span of cat internal organs also go down. The organs may not work as well as they once did and joints may become that little bit stiffer. Over time the cat seams to restrict its activities, is far less playful and becomes a creature of sedentary habits. Particular health conditions such as diabetes or arthritis require constant supervision and medical intervention.

But really how long cats live? The oldest cat recorded was a tabby called Puss who was said to have lived for 36 years! The oldest pedigreed cat on record is Sukoo, a Seamese who died in 1989, at the age of 31 years. These are exceptional life expectancy of cat, however. The life span of a most cats are about 14-16 years and a few may reach 20 years. With pedigreed cats there is a very accurate means of determining age, as they are normally registered with an exact date birth and registration number.

Life expectancy of cat

When you first get a 12-week-old kitten, it is very likely that its life span will be something between ten and fifteen years. This could mean that the cat will become a companion to your children as well as toy yourself. A longer life expectancy of cat is not unusual, in which case it may well live to see your grandchildren as well. To borrow from the dog world, a cat is for life, not just for Christmas. This has to be thoroughly understood before a kitten joints the household.

Life expectancy of a neutered cat is slightly longer than those which remain unneutered. This is particularly true of male cats. An unneutered tom will fight to defend territory and the resulting injuries and infections may shorten his life span. Females cats lead much quieter life, and a career spent having kittens, in an environment in which her condition is well-maintained, appears to have little effect on the female life expectancy.

So, I hope we gave you some answers on your question how long cats live.

American Shorthair silver tabby cats


American Shorthair silver tabby cats

Tisha

American Shorthair silver tabby where a love of first site for me. I so the pictures of them for the first time on those Whiskas food cans and bags. Yes, American Shorthair silver tabby cats are the face picture for Whiskas cat food. But then I also visited a cat show in San Diego with my girlfriend and couldn't stop dreaming about them since then.

I searched and contacted probably every American Shorthair breeder in USA and found out soon that to get a cat like that is not an easy process and sure is not that quick as I thought it would be. But I didn't give up. My dream was to get one of those silver tabby! So, I got on the line for kitten, which I had to wait for several months. But also I checked many retired American Shorthair silver tabby cats because I really loved the idea that I can see what this cat is looks like when he is an adult. 

I remember how I used to look at the little picture of my ideal American Shorthair silver tabby cats on the business card of the breeder I choose. I wanted light silver tabby. And so I finally got one! We have to drive up to San Francisco area to pick up my first American Shorthair silver tabby kitten. I named her Tisha. Here she is:


Tisha came from a Placer CatteryCarolyn Lyons is a wonderful person! And actually she is an international judge and travels around the world a lot! She has beautiful home and cattery! I highly recommend her Placer Cattery if you are looking for an American Shorthair silver tabby.
