Re: Calling All Cat Lovers

The kittys are nice to look at, but I don't really like cats. I prefer pigs. They are quite smart. And you can feed them anything (even cats).

Do you keep a pig as pet:? I know the cats are like a delicacy for certain people too but in this thread where are cat lovers, i think its not the case to mention that.

Oops, sorry. It's just that pigs really will eat anything. Would it be better if I said they would eat dogs? (some pigs will eat people if given a chance)
 
Re: Calling All Cat Lovers

I neutered my cat, most say that it is a good thing to do and that it is humane. If your cat ends up mating with another cat, the young kittens born will have to live their lives in the streets.

Street cats. Very dangerous. Form gangs, deal drugs. Turf wars with pigs (not police).

Cat maintenance:)
Part 2: The cat litter
Before to buy a litter we should consider this points:
  1. The litterboxes always must be kept clean. Each time when the cats eliminate, they look for a clean area .Dirty litterboxes are a main reason for cats to eliminate outside the litterbox.
  2. The cats have an inborn drive to seek out an easily-raked substrate in which to eliminate - similar with the sand. (Would you rather walk barefoot on a gravel driveway or on a sandy beach:? )
  3. Cats do not like stepping on wet litter and wet litter has an offensive smell to cats as well as to humans. The litterbox must be clean daily.
  4. The location must be quite (NOTto near a noisy appliance, a high traffic area, or a competitor's territory). The cat need privacy :-[
  5. Each cat must have the own litterbox.


Litters what can be found on the market:
  1. Conventional litter - based on clay its a great absorbent. The new clay litter was more absorbent than sand, and its larger grain made it less likely to be tracked from the litter box.
  2. Clumping litter - Most are made from granulated bentonite clay which clumps together when wet and form a solid mass separate from the other litter in the box. Advantage: This solid clumped material can then be disposed of without changing the entire contents of the litter box often. Disavantage: Some claim that clumping litters can be harmful to pets because if it is ingested or inhaled, it swells and solidifies inside them. This is thought to be particularly dangerous for kittens, who are more likely to ingest cat litter and less likely to recover easily. For the same reason, it is not recommended to flush clumping litters down the toilet.
  3. Silica gel litter - is a porous granular form of sodium silicate, has the highest absorbancy of any litter, and has excellent moisture and odor control. Advantage:can absorb liquid and odor for up to 30 days for one healthy normal weight cat. Stir it daily when scooping the solid waste, otherwise urine can pool in the box. Disavantage:The owner can't detect too easy when is dirty, until is too late. (litter box will leave a urine puddle at the bottom of the pan. :X )
  4. Biodegradable litter -made of recycled paper, wood shavings (primarily pine), wood, corn cobs, dried orange peel, or wheat bran. Advantage:
    flushability of the litter;reduced dust with benefits for the asthmatic cats. Disavantage: high costs.

From where could we know if our cat likes his/her new litterbox :)
The cat must follow the feline toiliting ritual which consist in:
Kitty steps into the litterbox and sniffs; she starts to dig, positions herself, and then decides to dig some more; when everything is perfect, she squats and eliminates. If she is so inclined, she begins the post-elimination ritual with sniffing and covering and more sniffing and covering. If she skips a number of the steps in this process, then there may be some trouble ahead which could end up in the carpets from the house.

Re: Kitty & Tania's Animal Thread

Since both threads basically are to do with animals, and mainly cats, I've merged them. :)

Cute pictures btw.
