HOUSE CATS

How long there live house cats? How to look after the kitten who has remained without a cat-mum? Whether it is possible to release to walk a cat? How to learn, whether is at a cat of a flea? How to become the participant of an exhibition of cats? On these and many other things questions of our readers our adviser, the chairman of club "Кэт Стронг", Shevchenko Elena Alekseevna continues to answer.  

 

- To our cat of 10 years. She normally eats, normally itself conducts, but recently its urine had very unpleasant smell. With what it can be connected? Eats, basically, a lung and sometimes a dry feed.
- It is necessary for you to address to the veterinary surgeon is there can be inflammatory processes, or helminthic infection. It is necessary to hand over analyses on worms and urine. Only the doctor can answer you this question - after analyses and survey of a cat.

- How long there live house cats?
- There is a scale of conformity of age of a cat and the person. Completely adult a cat (cat) become to 12 - to 14 months. The maturity is 5 7 years. On idea - a cat in 10 years - already старушенция. But my castrated cat 15 years
- t-t-t - she runs, plays, has an excellent teeth. There are cats long-livers - to 23 - 25 years. It depends and on a good heredity, and from eutrophy, leaving, etc. Eunuchs who correctly feed, live a little bit longer usual cats and cats. Longevity does not depend on breed, residing district, etc.

- At me a two-month kitten. At us he lives a month. Two days ago it had many fleas. Prompt as them to deduce, without damage to health of a kitten. What means is more effective?
- As a kitten very small - it is possible to wash shampoo from fleas + to wash спец means a room, to throw out its stove bench. To take a wormwood and to fill to it матрасик - let sleeps on it. As 500 gramme begins to weigh and more - it is obligatory to banish worms!

- We have a cat - 1 year and 2 months, we took a kitten (girl) about 2,5 months from street, but its other woman has picked up and we took from it. A cat she (kitten) recognised, and of us is afraid hisses, to iron does not give, and to catch it not easily. There has passed month as we it took, it престала to hiss, but till now is afraid. Whether there will be such cat manual and how it to accustom to hands? Since there was a kitten, our cat has ceased with us on a bed to sleep and very seldom purrs. What to do? And still the kitten constantly sucks титьку at a cat. How to disaccustom, and that there already a scab, directly terribly?  
- The kitty will get used - gradually, at all animals different character. Do not try to keep violently it on hands, but play with it, speak quietly, tenderly. Time it has made friends with a cat - all will be normal! And that a kitten "рассасывает" a cat - anything terrible for both. Probably, a kitty still very small. Do not forget to banish to it worms (and to a cat too) and to make necessary inoculations.

- Whether tell, please, it is possible to knit the Scottish lop-eared cat with the same kitty? Or only with the British? And that somewhere read, that at вязке two скотишш фолдов bone anomaly at kittens … is observed
- No, such are viscous are forbidden in all organisations. Kittens from such crossings can have serious problems: short, absolutely not not bending tail, the truncated, curve feet, etc. Фолдов knit with страйтами - cats and cats with longer body and very long tail.

- At us awful problems with fleas. No sprays and shampoos, collars help. The chin of a cat is simply covered by flea eggs. I combed out them splashed washed away. Literally in a day two all again in flea eggs and it not looking on помывку antiflea shampoo each two weeks antiflea ошейтик a special powder on all apartment and an antiflea spray on a cat its rug and our furniture. What to do?
- It means that the cat, possibly, is strongly exhausted or weak, or is sick. After will cope with fleas, banish worms. Now you should process not only a cat, but also apartment. For the cat - excellent means "Стронг холд", for apartment washing - consult to the seller in ветмагазине. There was an excellent means - "Стомазан" (неостомазан) Earlier - it is planted with water and wash a floor, it is possible to splash or wipe furniture. All of you do correctly, possibly, at you the house is infected by fleas.

- Tell, please, how many there live the Persian cats? At me a blue Persian kitty, to it of 7 years.
- As people - at cats too have long-livers. At my friend the cat Persian has lived in Holland 23 years, and her son - 20 years. The main thing - good care of the cat. Eutrophy and love of the owner!

- To our cat 2 years. Two weeks ago operation on sterilisation has been spent. All has passed successfully. When seams have removed and the cat could leave on street, she very much was delighted, since very much likes to walk. But has couple of days ago come running from street very frightened, began to hide. 2 days on street does not go, approaches to the door or to a window will smell air and quickly escapes to hide. Probably, someone has frightened it. Or it is operation consequences? What to do? Us it is not afraid, makes up, мурлычит, but a sight sad, frightened.
- Unfortunately, we live not in England and not in Holland - where cats can safely walk on streets. You very much risk both to health and a life of your cat, letting out it to walk. Thank God, that it has returned live and not crippled by any ugly creatures. Do not let out a cat on street!

- I suspect food poisoning (a poor-quality hen) or corking of a stomach by a wool. A cat about 2 weeks ago tore, now he eats a little, weak. A smell кала, as at the sick person - unpleasant and strong. But after has eaten little bit fresh grass, that I have brought from a garden, the condition has a little improved. Drinks moderately. Tomorrow is intended to give sour-milk sugarless products. Whether truly my assumption? And, if the stomach is hammered by a wool what to undertake?
- At вылизывании cats swallow a wool part. It accumulates in a stomach and can form such hard hair spheres. At a cat the lock, an inflammation begins, it stoops, does not eat. In a moult it is necessary to give or a special cat's grass (пророщенный an oats, wheat, or a grass from street - washed out by salty water) or special paste - is on sale in pet-shops. If the hair sphere does not leave - give oil, mass a tummy, in special cases - it is necessary to address to the doctor.

- How to look after the kitten who has remained without a cat-mum?
- Here approximate calculation of feeding. The kitten should lay in heat and is some times in day.

 

Age of kittens. Dairy meal. Meat meal. Milk of a cat. Approximate volume (ml) (weeks) (kol-in time/day)
6 - 8 2 2 Yes 15
8 - 10 2 2-3 it is possible 15
10 - 12 2 3 Is not present 15-20
12 - 16 1 3 Is not present 30-40
16 - 24 1 2 Is not present 45-60

 

Dairy meal (feeding up) - it is possible to use both special milk for kittens, and usual milk (it is desirable to plant with boiled water cream - they are better acquired), it is possible to add porridge. Meat meal - special canned food for kittens, or meat (beef) carefully crushed, boiled fish of oceanic (low-fat) grades. Boiled water should be always accessible. I have specified norm "milk of a cat" - that you had in in view of meal total amount. Besides, if a kitten absolutely small - after meal it mass пузико - as it is done by cats. The matter is that approximately till 25-30 days the kitten cannot independently write-kakat. Mum-cat masses to it a tummy, causing мочеиспускание.

- To kitten of 11 months. Became is intolerable to shout at night. Castrated. Shout has not stopped. What to do? Perhaps were late with castration?
- Castration changes character of an animal, but not at once. There Should pass any time, weeks 2 - 3. The cat will calm down, "will sink into dotage". I кастратка too has calmed down not at once - and now drive balls on apartment, catches the tail - a kitten and only! " After castration the animal concentrates on other problems - continuation of its sort does not interest any more. Games, dialogue with the owner - here its priorities »" - is considered by doctor Biver. It is necessary to notice, that surgical operation cannot stop the behavioural displays which have been not connected with hormones. 12 % of cats after castration continue to fight, though sometimes the reasons of such fights - any more "duels" of males, and territorial problems and so forth Sometimes the sexual behaviour of cats remains and after castration. They do "corfs", suffice a cat for шкирку. 88 % of cats become less aggressive, 92 % - cease to be on the tramp, 10 % of cats - can mark still, 5 % of cats - can mark still, 12 % of cats fight. After castration the part of behavioural sexual templates remains. Мечение territories can sometimes remain or even suddenly to be shown at the castrated animals because this behaviour is caused not only sexual hormones. " Sometimes it is attempt of the permission of territorial disputes between animals "as professor Bergman considers. Nevertheless, the majority of cats after castration:
- Cease to mark territory
- Cease to fight with other cats
- Cease to be on the tramp
I think, you should wait - the cat becomes quieter.

- How to learn, whether is at a cat of a flea?
- The first: the cat is constantly scratched, on a body stings, расчёсы are visible. The second: on a body it is possible to find small black "grains of sand" - if them to throw in water - they will redden. It is the blood "digested" by fleas a cat it is necessary to wash спец shampoo, or to process a spray (talc). The good result gives "Стронгхолд". It is obligatory to banish worms - т.к fleas - carriers of worms.

- To my kitten 3 months. Lives at us three weeks. To a toilet has been accustomed and first normally went to a tray. But here a week it goes in a small way that to footwear, on a carpet. In a more way goes to a tray. Sometimes, if in time to catch and plant it in a tray, писает there, but does not dig in. Why the seal so does? Can castrate it?
- To castrate it is necessary - approximately in 7 - 9 months. And now - you should think: "why the cat so arrives?"
- Toilet dirty - buy наполнитель
- The toilet costs in an inconvenient place - put in more "secluded" place
- It is possible to get closed туалетик in the form of a small house
- To change наполнитель.  

- Prompt how to be, please. 2 days ago took a kitten, 1,5 months Have been found in the street by the newborn and выхожен together with brothers kind people. Because of an early excommunication from a cat asks before a dream a finger which bites and sucks. When it will be necessary to accustom to fall asleep it independently? How to "learn" to clean claws and not to bite to blood?
- Kitten really still very small. And you give it a feeding up? It is already possible to give squashes, canned food for kittens and so forth Perhaps it bites, because wishes to eat? In any case - toys with which it will play and spend the energy are necessary to it. Try to play with it so that it did not attack your hands. Offer it balls, balls, coils (without threads) and so forth toys. Do so that he played with them. And as will get tired, take it on hands or simply stroke. To punish it there is nothing - it the kid and does not understand. As a last resort - it is possible to take "for шкирку" and to stir up - so mum-cat does.

- I have got a kitten of Abyssinian breed, now to it of 6 months, it has passport, a family tree. Me interests as to choose to itself association, to be well informed about all кошачих exhibitions, well it is natural how to become the participant of an exhibition?
- All фелинологические can be divided associations on American and European. American - suppose in the numbers of animals only the American type and with documents of the American clubs. European - have little bit another standards and exhibition rules. It is a lot of European associations and in Moscow. There are distinctions.
WCF - FIFe - recognise an estimation only from the exhibitions. At an exhibition it is possible to receive only 1 estimation in 1 day. For exhibition career it is necessary to accept participations in exhibitions of other countries (FIFe) or other federal districts (WCF). As to family trees - FIFe recognises only the family trees. МФА - recognises estimations of all associations, at an exhibition it is possible to receive 4 estimations in 1 day, for exhibition career it is enough to take part in exhibitions of your region. Council: descend on different exhibitions - and solve.
