OUR FAVOURITES - CATS

As it is often necessary to wash a kitten, when it is possible to castrate a cat what to do if the kitten eats наполнитель when it is possible to separate kittens from a cat... 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 where to get, please, a kitten of breed the Nibelung or Russian blue long-haired?
- Such breed exists and is recognised in many organisations, but in Moscow I did not see cats of this breed, and in other cities of Russia too - it is probable, nobody is engaged in this breed.

- How it is often necessary to wash and what to do, if the kitten becomes aggressive at the sight of water?
- As to washing - the cat needs to be combed, if a wool long - every day, than short-haired cats - is more rare. To wash them it is absolutely unessential.

- The doctor to me has advised to castrate a kitten after 1 year. At me a cat (boy). To it of 7 months. The doctor has told that about one year the organism is not generated yet. Very much I wish to learn your opinion. At a kitten the skin on a tummy very strongly hangs down. Does not disturb him. But it would be desirable to know from what?
- To castrate cats it is possible from 7 months. In the USA - since 3-4 months. If the cat is healthy, than is not ill - it is possible to castrate. The skin on a tummy is such fold - on "any case" - suddenly the big meal will get. It is at all cats, anything terrible.

- Yesterday I took a kitten (under the announcement). To it 1,5 months Prompt, please, as correctly it to look after and what to do that it did not miss on mum (he cries and searches титьку). A kitten not purebred, the boy.
- Show a kitten to the doctor - it will be necessary to banish worms, to impart. To feed it is possible special dry feeds for kittens, canned food of type "Wiskas" for kittens. Buy туалетик (better with наполнителем), toys, a small house. Play with a kitten, pay it attention - will get used, will calm down. In 6 - 7 months - castrate and you will have a normal cat who does not deliver you efforts.

- What to do if a kitten eats pebbles from наполнителя for a toilet with what it is connected, than threatens, what he already has eaten some pieces?
- As a rule, kittens often try "on a tooth" наполнитель, but almost always it then spit out. See attentively to a kitten - if there will be problems - not покакает - give sunflower-seed oil. In case it will eat all the same наполнитель, change mark наполнителя (sawdust, for example).

- To kitten 1, 5 months cannot go to a toilet itself. I had a cat earlier, she many times gave birth, and I know, how kittens should behave. I know, that when they small коша licks them. The kitten whom I took yet is able to eat itself. I on the sly accustom to eat it independently. And I cotton wool simulated вылизывание. It is necessary for it to celebrate need somehow! Today I have given for the first time to it a little the crushed boiled egg. He with pleasure has eaten, and after a while has started to rush about. In a toilet on the big has wanted. I waited, can itself will consult? But he does not know, that it is necessary to do. It was necessary to it to help. Whether it is normal? How to help the pussycat to learn to go to a toilet independently? Or it will occur by itself?
- It is necessary to take away kittens aged approximately 2.5 3 months. You took a kitten very much early. To feed it is necessary not from a table, and a special forage for kittens. Boiled egg - not meal for подсосного a kitten. Milk and special canned food is necessary to it. Yes, itself to write and какать it cannot, it is necessary to mass a tummy. Descend to the veterinary surgeon - the doctor should treat only. Perhaps at a cat worms, can - a virus.

 

- Took a seal. Breed usual. Have taken away from a cat. Whether it is not known its owners lured earlier or not. How it is correct and than it is better to feed him?
- At the age of three weeks of kittens it is necessary to start to lure. To begin is better with liquid овсяной squashes, разваренной and pounded to кремообразного conditions. Porridge weld on water, and then add there a spoon of cream. Do not use the cow milk. Its dairy balls are too great, kittens cannot digest them, and stomachs at them will be upset. For the first time it is convenient to use a disposable plastic tea spoon. Porridge should be warm, but not hot, about the same temperatures, as well as for human babies. Scoop a spoon of a few squash and cautiously put to a kitten in a mouth. Then put a few porridges on a saucer and bring a kitten more close. It is necessary to tell, that all kittens, even однопометники, behave thus differently. One start to drink up at once greedy as though all time only and waited for this happy moment, others long are capricious, not wishing to eat independently, and it is necessary to feed two-three days them from a spoon. But gradually all is adjusted. If with porridge everything is all right, it is possible to start to give canned food for kittens. The first days I pound their plug and I mix with porridge, then I give as "an independent dish". If intestines work for kids normally, it is possible to diversify their diet gradually. They can give boiled fish (as well as the adult, oceanic, low-fat - is better to a cod), a mincemeat, of course, not bought in shop, and prepared independently from good meat.

- At me there lives a cat of 8 months - white Turkish mohairs разноглазый (blue, gold). It would be desirable to know opinion of the expert on cleanliness of its breed. How it can be made?
- "Cleanliness of breed" is reflected in a family tree of an animal. If in 4 generations there are only animal same breeds - this cat thoroughbred. If your cat does not have family tree, you can: to Approach on us in club on a tentative estimation and consultation (oral consultation - 100 rivers a written estimation - 300). After survey of a cat becomes clear, whether it is necessary to it to be exposed or not. If to a cat there is a sense to be exposed, after a written estimation you make out the certificate on breed and with it go to an open class. If sense to be exposed is not present - I advise to castrate a cat and to register in a class "the House favourite". The club works: on Wednesdays with 18 to 20 Concert hall "Avant-guard" of street of general Belova, 18, an input from shop "Optics", a room 16.
 

- At my daughter a kitty, to it 2 years. For the period of house building have given to its mother-in-law. After a year have taken away again to itself, in the new house. First she was afraid of all, it and is clear, in a toilet went to the tray. But here some days as it goes both on big and on small where will want. And helps nothing. Can return it again to the mother-in-law and already leave there to live, since there she has already got used, but even right at the beginning there, at the mother-in-law it such did not do.
- Quite probably, that the cat has become puzzled in the new house.
1. Buy the big toilet (covered) with наполнителем, put somewhere not on pass, in a secluded place.
2. Limit movement on apartment - does not descend yet where it is necessary - do not let out from a room where there is a toilet.
3. Attention and persistence - as soon as see, that the kitten searches for a place - put in туалетик.

- One of these days has picked up a kitten, to it, probably, weeks 3, now I bring up it is artificial. It vigorous, mobile, but back pads at all do not obey, hang. And on lobbies it moves very actively. It can be a rickets? Or all the same it is more similar to a congenital atrophy?
- Certainly, you have arrived very correctly and nobly, having sheltered a kitten. Unfortunately, it is difficult to answer your question - I not the veterinary surgeon, and to define disease, not seeing an animal - it is difficult. Quite probably, that at a kitten a rickets - then vitamins, the sun, the strengthened food are necessary to it. Try to give it the soaked dry feed for kittens - Ройял Канин or Ямс - there many mineral substances, vitamins.

- One year ago I have taken away from the grandfather with the grandmother 6 summer сиамочку. It was thin and very timid, weighed, probably, kg, I know, that it severely punished that she shouted during time течки (threw out on a street balcony in the winter in 30 градусный a frost on all night long and sometimes put sing in cold water, beat and very badly fed. It in revenge spoilt to them). I hardly left it, have fattened, sterilised, to it have removed кисты on яичниках etc. (we live with it together. Now it weighs almost 4 kgs, very playful and tender, character simply miracle, but last two months it had a habit to run up to me and to "bite" teeth for a foot and if I start "to scream and grumble" on it it starts to rush on me and to "swear", at times business reaches almost fight, I it do not offend that, I do not beat, (I in general madly love cats) but it for some seconds happens simply flies into a rage! How you think, with what it can be connected? It can it so to me the love shows? I feel, what she loves me, she behaves simply amazingly, but it can so now recoups for the insults put to it by people earlier? I categorically do not agree with opinion, that all Siamese cats malicious.
- You have arrived very correctly, that have taken away an unfortunate animal to yourself. It is awful, when people so concern cats! It is necessary to understand the responsibility before that whom we take to ourselves in the house. Сиамы - as well as any other breed of cats - lovely, tender animals and in their bad behaviour are guilty people. As to your case, I am afraid, that at a cat any problems with health - can, any tumour. I think, you should make to it ultrasonic, to address to the veterinary surgeon.
 

- Prompt, please, that can be with my kitty? The Persian, 5 years, castrated. All night long strongly mews, shouts, thus eats and to a toilet goes as always normally. Eats only forage Royal Canin for Persians.
- Your kitty - is castrated or sterilised? If it is sterilised (i.e. яичники are not removed) - the cat can flow. Then its behaviour can speak it. If the cat is castrated and cannot flow, possibly, something is ill it. Attentively observe a cat:
- Whether its behaviour has changed
- As she eats
- Whether there are no problems with a toilet
- Whether grows thin or on the contrary - does not get fat

- To my cat of 16 years. It shouts at night and does not allow to us to sleep. What with it?
- Such behaviour can be caused everything - few data. Perhaps to a cat it is simply boring, or hot. Probably, he badly feels itself(himself), then there should be other symptoms: refusal of the meal, the raised thirst, etc. at such respectable age can become aggravated any chronic diseases - attentively look narrowly at your cat, whether was changes in behaviour, etc.

- I have a problem with my favourite. To my British almost 2 years, but he behaves as small. Sometimes, apparently, that it too разбалован. The matter is that it bites, scratched, but for it it simply game. When to it it is boring, it climbs to all members of a family and starts to bite gently at first, and then can and to blood! Tell, whether it is connected with its education or health? How to make of it lovely and obedient, the favourite who will caress all members of a family instead of to bite and be scratched!
- You were late with education of your cat "a little". It is necessary to accustom to play a kitten not with hands of people, and with toys - balls, and other. Now, I am afraid, already late to retrain it. What it is possible to make? Play with it is more often - force to move more - throw to it balls, coils from under threads, other toy. Perhaps there is a necessity to castrate a cat - possibly, these are elements of its sexual behaviour.
