- - How many for time the cat can bring kittens? What breeds the most prolific?
- - The quantity of kittens at a cat depends on many factors: pairing time, a state of health of a cat and a cat, and also from breed. The most "prolific" cats of easy breeds (Russian blue, сиамы, ориенталы). Usually in a dung happens from 3 to 5 kittens is a norm. The biggest dung of the survived kittens - 10. Cats are still interesting to that possess such phenomenon as "суперфетация" - i.e. in one течку the cat can be tied two different cats and become pregnant from two производиелей. The dung part can have one father, a part - another.

- - Hello! I would like to learn, why during ancient times burnt cats?
- - Cat - a being in many respects mysterious and for us, modern people: we do not know till now as the cat finds road home for many kilometres as is guided almost in full darkness (possibly, to it help вибриссы). And in the Middle Ages to ignorant and fanatical people the cat seemed a harm and sorcery embodiment - walks at night, is reserved, etc. Unfortunately, many cats destroyed with their mistresses (women considered as witches). In punishment for it Europe was amazed with devastating epidemics of a plague (cats exterminated rats-perenoschits of an infection).

- - Dear Elena! At me the Persian cat 1,5 years. Practically eats only a dry feed "Hill's". It is More what does not touch even. What to do?
- - Cats - conservative enough animals. If your cat has got used to eat only a dry feed, you with it any more will not make anything. Certainly, the various food is more useful - it would be better to give to a cat and meat, both fish, and a tinned forage. To try it is possible: take a cat on "principle" - do not give a dry feed, yet will not eat meat or something else. As a rule, at me it does not leave. If the cat persists, remember the main thing - water should stand always, it is impossible to exceed the norm of feeding ordered изготвителями of a forage. I know sufficient number of factory owners which feed cats only with a dry feed - and anything terrible. Health to you and your cat.

- - How many approximately there live cats?
- - It depends on many factors - on the average 10-12 years. My first house seal has lived with me of 18 years and has died of a cancer. It is necessary to mean only, that the cat's century and human differ from each other: 1 year of age of a cat corresponds to 15 years of age of the person, 2 = 25, 6 = 45, 10 = 60, 14 = 72. At me three cats, the senior (castrated) 12 years, and it skips and plays, as a kitten.

- - So happens, that unexpectedly for myself I became mum for two British лялечек. Both of them with excellent documents and me it would be desirable to be engaged in their cultivation further. Т to. Experience of dialogue with cats at me not was it is glad to possibility to ask the expert about that, on what is paramount it is necessary to pay attention to grow up them adequately. Age of 4 and 5 months.
- - The main thing for cats, as well as for the person - health. It is necessary to vaccinate from вириусных diseases, furiousness. To pick up a correct forage - I prefer for my British IAMS, also it is necessary to give meat, it is desirable for British porridges (oat-flakes) or bread is group "In" it is good for a wool and for "capacity" of this breed. If you are going to be engaged in breeding cultivation, read the standard on your breed, participate in exhibitions. In more details about the British breed it is possible to read in book СА Shevchenko "British КШ and шотладская lop-eared" Publishing house "the company M Delta" 2001 (I saw it on sale on the Panfilovsky prospectus) come also

- Please help! At me a kitten (kitty) 2 months, (mum-mohair, the daddy-Persian). I can not accustom to лоточку. The tray costs in a corridor, three are more true their. One with a lattice, another with sand, the third with the newspaper. But the kitten persistently goes to celebrate the requirements on ленолиум near to banks. I and newspapers wetted, after it пописает and laid down them in a tray and put there a kitten, but is not present, in any way. Хозайка which has sold to me a kitty has told, that this breed (mohair) of months to 4 will so do, they as puppies. Whether tell please so it and as me to accustom a kitten to go to a tray. 2 months suffer so. In advance many thanks.
- - The mistress who has sold to you a kitten, "has to put it mildly paltered": first, it is impossible to name the metis "breed" or "mohair", secondly, to support cleanliness of kittens the cat mum learns and on the maintenance of a kitten in the house at заводчицы depends much. Thirdly, never kittens behave also as puppies it is full bosh! These animal too different biologically (ancestors of dogs - gregarious animals, ancestors of cats - singles) and from they are their considerable distinction. Most likely, you "завочица" did not watch kittens or held them in a cage (at them the habit to use туалетиком was not developed). Try to buy туалетик with high to sides, buy special наполнитель for a toilet (better комкующийся - ЗООНИК). Kittens like to be dug, and also it is pleasant cleanliness in туалетике.

- - At my cat ear pincers. What it for illness and how from not to get rid?
- - They are parasites, microscopic pincers who live in soft fabrics of an ear. Is better type preparations стомазана (to you will advise in a pet-shop, for example in "Багире" on Central). Before processing by a medicine well simply to wipe all ear (inside) oil - pincers get out on a surface - and then, a special preparation. Pincers are dangerous that allocate toxin, and from it there is a secondary inflammation and the otitis can begin. Health to you and your cat!

- - Dear Elena Alekseevna! At me simple not a thoroughbred cat. Healthy, vigorous, 3 years. I suffer with a wool. It not so fluffy, probably, most truly will approach something an average between short-haired and длиношерстным. To what only did not address to veterinary clinics concerning wool loss. No, it does not grow bald - шерстка excellent, and this шерстка drops out of it all year long such quantities that it is possible to knit gloves! Special forages, vitamins, drops. Additives that only did not try, all in the empty. At me addition in a family soon is planned. The abundance of a wool for the child not очнь is good. Something can will advise, how the professional? In advance thanks.
- - That your cat so assiduously fades - not absolutely well. To give to your any advice, it is necessary to know - whether you did analyses, соскобы from a skin and a wool, whether there are skin defeats, etc. While can tell only, that is necessary possibly, to check up to a cat a liver. Fluffy cats can fade so plentifully because of раных the reasons: hot air in apartment, an avitaminosis, or, наоброт, гипервитаминоз, metabolism infringement. Write in more details that you were spoken by veterinary surgeons. Health to you and your cat!

- - What cat's breeds the cleverest?
- - Concept "mind" in relation to animals very difficult category. The dog listens to your commands and выпоняет them is it clever? The cat hears your commands and does not carry out them is it silly? The question what a cat - a being independent enough and independent, it will not bring to you a slipper and to run behind a stick (the silly?), but perfectly will understand, what at you the bad mood and will come to you on knees помурчать (the clever?). There are cats more inclined to dialogue (сиамы, ориенталы, sphinxes) and less sociable (Persians). For each owner the cleverest - its cat but if "mind" to consider ability and desire to dialogue then the cleverest - cats of east group.

- - Advise, that to me to do. To my cat 1,5 years, it is castrated at the age of 1 year 2 months. All at it is excellent, except one: a habit to rush on feet (me and the husband), during our dream. Strongly bites, then escapes under a sofa. Especially it disturbs me because in August we will have a child! (One-room apartment). We applied different ways to disaccustom it from this habit, and caress, and punished... Without results! We are afraid, that our nerves soon will not sustain. I will be very grateful for council! Yours faithfully, Elena
- - Dear Elena! Your question to answer difficult - tell, your cat "is castrated or sterilised", whether as it has transferred operation was complications, whether you noticed problems with health?
-
- Than is better to feed a cat? Also what it is better not to give to it in a forage?
- - Feeding of a cat can consist of three часей: a dry feed (IAMS, Royal Canin, etc.), natural meal (meat - beef, fish - oceanic, low-fat, a hen, cottage cheese, porridges, etc.), and also tinned forages (any what like a cat). The main rules: 1. Water always долна to be accessible, 2. Not to exceed the norm of a dry feed specified by the manufacturer, 3.

- - At me now 2 britanochki-lassies. Almost 5 and 6 months. Planned one kitty for cultivation, took a two. Certainly to us still рановать to think вызки since the exhibition with the expert at us is planned for the beginning of autumn. As to your program of training of factory owners.

- - How to relieve a cat of fleas? Whether the cat's fleas of people bite? How it is often possible to wash a cat?
- - If it is a lot of fleas, they can sometimes bite and people. The best средсво from fleas - СТРОНГХОЛД. (Is on sale in "Багире" on Central). It is possible to use also collars, sprays of firm Bayer. It is necessary to mean only: 1. Fleas on a cat only eat - live in furniture, in plinths, etc. Ask in a pet-shop processing for apartment (better preparations types стомазана), 2.блохи transfer worms - after processing from fleas it is necessary to give противоглистные preparations. Стронгхолд has double action. To wash a cat it is necessary тольков a case of strong necessity (as in your case - противоблошиным shampoo), carefully to wash off shampoo to wrap up a cat a towel and accurately to dry up the hair dryer. If before you did not wash a cat, it is better to choose shampoo powder, a spray, etc.

- - Than приниципиально not purebred the cat differs from the thoroughbred?
- - The thoroughbred cat has ancestors with an identical ex-terrier, its appearance therefore is rather predicted. Also it is possible to learn, what окрасы, length of a wool, etc. it is possible to receive from the given cat. More or character is less predicted. At a cat of the unknown person происхождеия can be put genetically in pawn different окрасы, length of a wool, etc. and we do not know, what it will be, what kittens from it we will receive, etc. However, both those, and - созания the nature, them it is necessary to love others and then even the most simple мурка will be the most beautiful and favourite. At the largest exhibition in Moscow the Third Open championship МФА (200 cats, on May, 17th 2003) the best house cat became ours землячка from Zelenograd - cat Лола (вл. Nevmerzhitsky М) we Congratulate!
