HEALTH TO YOU AND YOUR CAT
What to do, if the cat is pregnant how correctly to feed and look after a kitten, whether it is necessary to disaccustom a cat to sleep in a bed how to disaccustom the Persian to write in different places... On these and many other things questions of our readers our adviser, the chairman of club "Кэт Стронг", Shevchenko Elena Alekseevna continues to answer.
-
- - Prompt please, what signs of a rickets at kittens (1 months), what preparation for preventive maintenance?
- To treat cats even on the Internet it is impossible. For this purpose there are veterinary surgeons - they have a formation and they bear responsibility for the councils. So address to the veterinary surgeon, he will examine a kitten and will give necessary recommendations. I can advise only to you how to feed and how to look after cats. For healthy digestion the food of a cat should contain substances from following five groups in the percentage parity resulted in brackets:
1. Fibers or proteins (14 %)
2. Carbohydrates (5 %)
3. Fats (10 %)
4. Vitamins (in микро quantity)
5. Mineral substances (1 %)
Water (70 %) also is a food integral part though it does not contain calories. We give an example the plan of a food which basically consists of independently prepared forage.
From four weeks about three months
Three meals a day
- Porridge, for example, from a rice flour, Herculean flakes or from the products bought in a pet-shop. Boiled fish half-and-half with grain bread. Flakes half-and-half with meat, heart, soup meat or the chicken stomach, all slightly boiled. Half of teaspoon of calcium or mineral preparations in day.
From three about six months
A two-single food
Bread of a rough grinding half-and-half with boiled fish, once a week with a boiled liver. Flakes with slightly boiled meat. Half of teaspoon of calcium or mineral preparations in day.
The general rules:
- Fresh water should be always accessible. Milk it is better not to give (in it not enough fiber and too much dairy sugar).
- Approximately in 20 minutes of sterns to clean. Not to leave not eaten rests.
- For a cat in food a variety is very important, but do not spoil them; they quickly become very legible, and can happen, that their food becomes too monotonous, and it is bad.
- At our place three live ангорки - quiet, healthy, three-year, in a natural condition, a cat and two wives. We allow to become pregnant, we solve destiny of kittens. It turns out. The philosophy of respect for natural natural cycles is that we wish to bring up in the 11-year-old son. Unfortunately, second time for years of coexistence with cats in a family there was a summer holiday problem when there were wishing to nurse no our animals. We presume to ourselves hotel only for one, well for two. One of them deeply pregnant and just about. But also tickets are already taken for tomorrow. We have an experience of that our tortoise beauty of years to seven volume remained one for 10 days. Then I have interrupted holiday and have come back home. Insult in eyes, fleas - but with a problem we have consulted. Us have forgiven. How we read stress of isolation, whether that, basically was not observed, though some signs of affliction were. Advise as to arrive with our company. There can be they 10-12 days in habitual conditions without us will consult, or all the same the problem is more serious? A food is thought over.
- To answer your question, it is necessary to know character of your cats: how much they are independent and whether can do without you such time. As to me - I would not leave cats of one. Especially on the eve of sorts. And if there will be complications? The food question is solved - and water? And the help of the person will be suddenly necessary? I would remain at home. Perhaps, you have friends who will help you? Unfortunately, if at you animals - it is necessary to count the plans, meaning and cats.
- This cold summer our cat walking probably has strongly caught a cold at night. The whole week ate nothing, did not drink. Probably, it had a temperature because the nose was hot. Has gradually started to come to the senses. Eats more or less normally, but still pants also at the nights strongly coughs. What to do? I the pensioner. Visiting of the veterinary surgeon for me is impossible (expensively). Help!
- It is very difficult to define, than the cat is sick, not seeing it. Especially. That I do not have veterinary formation. Therefore my council will be rather conditional: if it is cold, try to treat so:
- 1\4 tablets бисептола once a day
- Warm milk with sugar
- In a nose it is possible покапать children's drops from a cold
-
-
- - Very much excites one question. My kitty is pregnant. And I at all do not know what to do. Something can will advise, витаминки any. How it is better to feed? What to do during sorts... Etc.
- A food of a cat during such period: not to change sharply, to feed, yet it will not be sated. A dry food is desirable, but only known firms and is strict on the specified norms. Vitamins which are issued separately, in the form of tablets, are acquired approximately on 10-15 %. So it is better to give a qualitative dry feed (Royal, Iams). 5-7 days prior to sorts to limit a food a little, that to a cat was not so difficult to give birth. How to deliver is a whole science and it is short about it you will not tell. Buy the directory CARLSON - veterinary science of cats or the book on care of cats. I advise also just in case to learn, how to invite the veterinary surgeon, how many there is a visit etc.
-
- - Today to me give a kitten: the girl, 1,5 months. And I have no concept, that with it to do: how correctly to feed, than, how to look after.
- To answer your letter, it is necessary to write the book. Bases such: - a food - 1\3 a class dry feed премиум IAMS, ROYAL CANIN (the dose for each age is specified on packing)
Canned food - any
Meat - only beef
Fish - oceanic, boiled, low-fat
Milk, kefir, porridges
It is impossible: meal from a table, fried, smoked, SALTY
- It is necessary for you: to impart a cat in 3 months from furiousness and virus diseases (preliminary having banished worms) and to do it 1 time in a year
- туалетик, наполнители, bowls, a column for a point of claws.
-
- - To mine the Squanderer (lop-eared) 2,5 months. Took its two monthly and fed with dairy mixes, squashes as has told заводчица. For the second week of stay has started to feed up crude beef. And three days ago has probably picked up any muck from a floor in the afternoon and from a mouth foam has gone. The awful diarrhoeia, in a stomach hurricane at night has begun. For the morning has called заводчице, she has advised pricks: Диксометазон on 0,5 ml. 2р in day and Gentamycin on 0,3 ml. 3 р in day. The diarrhoeia has stopped, but кал any strange as though the dense black skin from капучино and is present not a blood considerable quantity (till now). Runs on big often, but on a drop. Eats and drinks moderately. I am afraid to conduct it to usual veterinary surgeons as lop-eared special leaving is required. Заводчица too against veterinary surgeons. Tonight has stuck Кломаксил LA a cube floor, Гентомецин I do not prick. And still, has bought Бификол dry (instead of бифидума) wished to pour in. I am afraid to lose a kitten, help.
- It is very a pity your cat, especially because to treat on phone or Internet nobody has learnt. Your unwillingness to go to the doctor - criminally! And your factory owner - to put it mildly, is wrong. At it that - veterinary formation and it can diagnose on distance? If the kitten is lost - will be responsible for it who? The factory owner or you? You when are ill, too are treated by phone and collect councils of acquaintances? There are veterinary surgeons who can diagnose, having examined an animal, having made analyses. If could treat everyone, yes by phone, what for doctors? Conversations that скоттиши - other breed and them treats it is necessary in an especially way - rubbish. At ANY cat all illnesses are treated equally. Fairy tales on "especial" breed are told by factory owners when as a result of their "councils" the kitten will be lost - breed special also to treat have not learnt. The diarrhoeia reasons can be 10 and 10 - ways of treatment. Address to doctors, yet late. Though if at a kitten панлейкопения - already late and for a long time.
- How to disaccustom the Persian to write in different places, not there where it is necessary?
- To accustom it is possible only a small kitten. What age at your cat? If it big, it can be мечение the territories, connected with sexual development. Then - only castration. If a cat yet adult, is better to get closed туалетик (as resock) and to use qualitative наполнитель - e.g. Зооник. Cats like to dig, and also love a solitude. Try. But it is not necessary to forget and that the cat can be ill - a cystitis, for example, or urolithic illness. Pay attention: whether there is no blood in urine, whether the cat "complains", does not cry after мочеиспускания. The Most rational and convenient in a life, in my opinion, is комкующийся наполнитель - наполнитель ЗООНИК. For it granulated clay "sand-cheshujki" are used, as a rule. How it works? At moisture hit in наполнитель its granules размокают also "stick together" in strong enough lumps which are very easy for cleaning periodically совочком. (Attention! Such lumps in no event cannot be thrown out in the water drain! Only in garbage containers!). With the help совочка you delete from туалетика lumps used наполнителя, pure наполнитель remains in туалетике. I.e. наполнитель it is used on all of 100 %, the smell is not present any. It is checked up even at summer heat, in those conditions when cats remained one within all day, the smell is not present! Some factory owners are afraid, that kittens will eat наполнитель and can poison and die. Such cases are unknown, all civilised world uses those or other kinds наполнителя. Our kittens, for the first time mastering a toilet with комкующимся наполнителем, tried to chew it, even took in a mouth - but there and then spat out.

-
- - At me cat Ксюша and to it 2 years. The matter is that it is accustomed to a toilet, we use two trays, one with a grid without наполнителя, and the second with наполнителем. In a toilet on big it goes exclusively to a pot, and here on small it can sit down where will want, if I see, that it in уголочке the ringleader sing, on it you will shout - where your pot, well quickly on a pot - that she runs on a pot and if you will not see that all it написает where village. At what it it does not always, sometimes it goes into place, and sometimes is not present and with what it is connected. Especially it писает not on a place in the mornings, it does not trouble to herself - has jumped off from a bed has reached a threshold and village and, of course, when at us visitors will visit, here it it is obligatory on a threshold пописает. All speak to me - that it simply шкода and anything with it will not make. Whether so it?
- Most likely the cat simply is not accustomed since the childhood - bad habit was generated. I would try the closed toilet with good наполнителем.
- To my cat of 8 years, since the childhood ate only dry feeds (an interior, пурина) and canned food (китикет, фрискас). Last time the stomach has ceased to perceive a dry feed, have translated only on canned food, more eats nothing. Became very thin and less fluffy. Tried to feed with our food, eats nothing. Prompt, please, can vitamins or other canned food it is necessary to give?
- As they say, an old age - not pleasure. Certainly, with the years health any more, both at people, and at cats. Though 8 years - not such age. At me to a cat-kastratke - 12. Runs and skips! In any case to feed from a table - it is impossible. Our food for cats does not approach - it too salty and sharp. Vitamins is better what "are" in food are acquired, instead of in the form of tablets and so forth Is better would be to address to the veterinary surgeon, he would examine a cat and has helped to diagnose. Probably, at a cat hair in a stomach (so-called "безоары") - then should be submitted some paste for wool dissolution - in any case, will not be worse. Perhaps, it is worms, maybe, any disease. Not knowing, that with a cat to advise difficult. It is possible to try qualitative dry feeds - soaked. I all the same would advise to address to the veterinary surgeon.
- Recently took a kitty. Very nice obedient. But most likely it have accustomed to sleep with people in a bed. It not so is pleasant to me. How it is possible to disaccustom it?
- If it is not pleasant to you, that the cat sleeps with you in a bed, do not start up it in a bedroom - and all! Other ways are not present. Though personally it seems to me, that the cat so lulls. The main thing, of course, that the cat was healthy and well brought up.
- We wish to get the British cat black-silvery marble with orange eyes from an excellent family tree from Holland. We wish to buy round to Amsterdam and to bring a seal. It is possible to leave in advance on owners through your club? We will be glad to receive any information on it.
- To buy the good manufacturer in Europe it is difficult enough: the kitten usually should be ordered in advance, in a dung which only to be born. The matter is that in Holland, as well as in other civilised countries do not knit house cats, cats пет a class, much the animal buy under castration. And really castrate and do not make multiple copies. Therefore "overstocking" by kittens is not present, on the contrary, in known nurseries turn on kittens. Simply таки to arrive and buy the manufacturer - it is practically impossible. As ours "фелино" businessmen not too decently themselves conduct some. Therefore it is frequent with Russian and will not speak and on a threshold will not start up.

- - To my cat of 11 years. Recently it near a breast had a cone similar to a tumour. Prompt, please, that it can be. I will be very grateful for the answer.
- It can be and is simple "жировик", i.e. the good-quality new growth, and can be and a tumour malignant. Think, whether the behaviour of a cat has changed, whether she began to drink more, has not grown thin, etc. Certainly, is better to address to the doctor. I had a similar case with my first cat - there was a cancer and it should be lulled to stop sufferings of an animal.
- The kitty very often mews and is scraped? In a toilet it is accustomed. On hands goes seldom. Why it constantly plaintively mews?
- Perhaps, the cat badly feels itself? It is ill nothing? Sometimes so cats ask, that to them have paid attention. Cats do not like to sit on hands if in the earliest childhood the factory owner took them on hands a little, communicated with them a little. Try to give to it of more time, get accustomed more attentively, maybe, a kitty is ill.
-
- - I search for коши for a seal of burmese breed. But only for some reason in any way I will not find.
- In Moscow there are some nurseries of burmese breed. Whether there is at your cat a family tree? Where you have got it? The factory owner will communicate with you only in the event that the cat has documents on an origin, registration in club and estimations from exhibitions. Also the cat should have inoculations from furiousness and virus diseases. Burmese breed for the present rare enough in our country, but is excellent animals.
- The husband has brought home a usual kitten (metis). But I am not assured that its wool and allocation will not influence my health at pregnancy and on health of the future kid. And also, my acquaintance had several years ago a problem to become pregnant. Thus first time she has successfully given birth to the healthy girl (but then still the cat at them was not). As have found out in the Center of mother and child НАН of Ukraine, it has been connected with the latent reaction of its organism (some kind of an allergy) on allocation of its favourite cat. As a result, the cat should be liquidated on a summer residence to friends, and acquaintances have paid the huge sum of money for that the acquaintance could become pregnant and successfully take out the kid. Then at them 2 more girls were born. Comment, please, on this situation.
- First of all, I wish to tell, that, certainly, not the doctor and I have no medical education. НАН to an Ukrainian language is more visible, as the woman could not забереметь, because of presence of a cat in apartment. I fondly thought, that it depends not on a cat... Always easier to doctors not to undersign for own inability or ignorance, and all to write off on a cat. More shortly: illnesses which you can receive from animals, it эндо and экзопаразиты. Проше speaking: fleas, deprive - external parasites, worms - internal. Nevertheless, you can receive in the fine image the same parasites and another by: namely: dirty hands, walk on wood (flea), a trip to one transport with бомжом, etc. Nevertheless, it does not threaten reproductive function. A problem can make: токсоплазмоз, a clamidiosis. They are micro-parasites in blood, they can amaze any body of the person. Nevertheless, if you ask doctors, their carriers are 80 % of people. An another matter, in WHAT CAPTION (i.e. In what quantity). "Receive" these elementary паразититрующих you can elementary, and without cats - dirty toilets in public places, bad disinfection in offices of the gynecologist (by the way, at them disposable gloves?) At a blood sampling on the analysis, etc. I do not speak a dirty syringe about people, carriers of such infections (they are transferred also sexual by). Even if at you at home (fie-fie) a cat with a clamidiosis, to you достаочно it will be difficult to catch it if you wash hands after have cleaned the cat's toilet and observe all principles of normal hygiene. Токсоплазмы and хламидии can pass to you or through blood of a cat in your blood (blood transfusion) or with excrement (and if you do not clean them hours, capsules гондий open also they "leave" outside). If your cat is healthy (to it have banished worms and have made all inoculations), it is no more dangerous to you, than the neigbour in a staircase. To comment on your situation difficult - what diagnosis have put to your acquaintance? Simply allergy? In any case as I understand, cats you do not love, the kitten is not necessary to you and it is better than it to give to you to somebody: all the same you will search for the reasons of all troubles in it.
- At me балинэзийская a cat. To it of 5 years. Recently I with it played and have noticed at it on a small beard a small black speck, and round it there is no wool. What can it be? We do not drive it on street and we do not bathe! Help us, please.
- Anything terrible! It is simple "акнэ" - corking of a time. Give fat less, a chin помойте soap water and cauterise spirit. It as a small heat-spot.

-
- - At me шотланская a lop-eared short-haired kitty. In the future I wish to connect it with the Persian. Whether it is possible?
- The such is viscous is extremely undesirable, since advantages of type of Persians are lacks for скоттиша a body: скоттиш фолд - average skeleton, the Persian - powerful, a format: скоттиш - little bit stretched, rectangular, the Persian: кобби, stocky, short, a tail: скоттиш фолд: long, is narrowed by the end, the Persian: short, thick. It is rounded off, etc. Т.о. It is viscous скоттиша with the Persian it is undesirable, since fatally influences skeleton of posterity (the "rigid" tail, the truncated body, etc.) to Knit скоттишей is necessary only from them прямоухими descendants: Scottish КШ.
- As to the adviser concerning cats I address to you. At me is Persian (but not thoroughbred) the cat, who behaves interestingly enough if not to tell strange. In the presence of someone from a family in apartment it in 95 % cases accurately goes to the toilet (tray). But there are 5 % - on which cases when it goes to any other place fall. Наполнитель for a tray, in process of its pollution, constantly varies on new, about nevertheless problem remains. If I, or someone from house, leave in other room, closing thus behind itself the door she starts to peep, mew, call in the beginning someone, then starts to be scraped at a door, and then, that the most interesting, necessarily, as though as "vengeance" написает is direct under a door. And so repeats not once. If after it зазывных shouts someone opens a door or comes to it anything similar does not occur. Whether it is possible to consider normal the given behaviour of a cat and if is not present than it speaks? How it is possible to disaccustom it "to revenge for the door closed before it" thus?
- Question directly for the psychoanalyst. Possibly, in the childhood, someone has frightened your cat also it one and consequently "marks" the found room is afraid to remain in a room. Cats at all do not love the closed doors, but such behaviour is connected, most likely, with any transferred fear. To disaccustom, I think, already it is impossible. An exit one - hold all doors the opened. If you punish it, I think, that all it only will become complicated. At me, for example, the cat hates, when I at it speak on the phone - climbs to a tube and shouts in it.
- With whom it is possible to knit скотишей to receive breed хайлен фолд?
- Скоттиш фолда it is necessary to knit with Scottish ДШ breed, but not a guarantee, that at you kittens will turn out ДШ. A gene of a long wool - рецессивен. Recollect school, Mendel and горошки. From a cat with a short wool kittens with long шесртью only in the event that can turn out:
- Cat - the carrier of a gene of a long wool
- Cat - with a long wool or the carrier
- My cat loves canned food "Darling". After eats the portion, it often has a vomiting. And at once after meal. Sometimes she asks a repeated portion there and then. It proceeds 1 week. I very much worry for health of a cat.
- The reasons can be much:
- Worms
- Problems with digestion
- Wool lumps in a stomach.
If there is a probability of infection with parasites - buy Фебтал or Дронтал - the instruction on packing. Problems with digestion is can establish only вет. The doctor. Wool lumps - give to a cat special paste (малт a software or another what).
