Cats And Kittens

How to bath a cat easily!? Cat Bathing made simple for both humans and cats.

[1] Make sure that the Water Temperature is right for Bathing Cat.

The water should be luke-warm when going to bathe cat, more on the room-temperature side, because if you put hot water on your cat, it will get burned.
Cold water is always a better solution for bathing cats or kittens. Cats don’t mind the cold. Unlike myself.

Yet water should not be tooo cold when bathing a cat-  you know what I mean – not so freezing cold that your poor cat shakes and its teeth chatter… Just pleasantly luke-warm, like for a baby bath.

[2] What Should You Bathe Cat In?

Choose a shallow bathing tub that your cat can easily stand in. Deep buckets might cause cats to panic and feel as though they’re stuck in a narrow clastrophobic well.

Best would be a shallow plastic container or a small laundry bucket, that is safe for cats and not slippery.

We plan on introducing our cats to water in a gradual way and not throw them into a 6 foot/2m pool and have them get a heart attack from fright.

Place a towel around the dish so that your cat can stand on it afterwards and get dry. Also the towel aroung the cat bath will prevent your house from drowning under water. ;-D

You can also use a rubber mat for the bath bottom, so the cat won’t slip, but it isn’t a ” must have “.

If it’s a slippery tray, then the rubber mat is advisable, but if it is a plastic dish, then you don’t need to worry about it. Anyway, it’s a shallow cat bath so there is no risk.

[3] How Deep Should The Cat Bath Waters Be?

Start bathing your cat with just enough water to be above cats  feet.

For the time bathing kittens or washing cats, just place your cat in the tub and let cat play around in there. Cats will get used to the bath and think it is fun.

Tips For Playing With Your Cat In The Tub:

If you play with your cat inside the cats bath with a string, or with some other toy  your cat will enjoy bathing and want to get in there again.

Make it the place where you play with your cat with a certain item (like a mouse on a string or some kind of “cat bathing” toy.) you only use in bath. Your cat will be glad to jump in there and want to play with you.

Another cat bathing motivator is giving your cat a few yummy cat treats when he baths.

Next Stages Of Cat In The Tub

Don’t worry if your cat makes a mess. The towels  you places around the bath tub will mop up most of it.

Gradually you can begin to increase the depth of the water.

Beware: For most cat types, water should never be deeper than cat’s knees.

This should be enough water to give your cat a bath, without creating the fear of drowning panic in your cat’s mind.

How to wash your cat in the cat bath?

Don’t pour the water over your cat or dunk her inside, instead use a wet cloth and dab your cat with it over his or her fur while paying with it in the bath.

Some cats are amazingly expert swimmers, maybe you will have the next “swimming champion”, but don’t push your cat to be one…

Are you concerned about feline lower urinary tract disease?  All cat owners should be aware of cat urinary health issues to prevent their cats from becoming victims of this common feline problem. 

What Cat Urinary Tract Infection Symptoms Should You Be Aware Of?

Sometimes the most obvious symptom is that your cat is urinating outside the litter box.  As wonderful as cats are, they don’t have advanced powers of reasoning.  If your cat is hurting every time he uses the litter pan, he thinks that somehow the litter pan is causing his pain.  In his little kitty mind, if he urinates someplace else, it won’t hurt when he goes. 

Of course, we humans know it doesn’t work that way.  But if your cat suddenly stops using his litter box, it may not be a behavior issue.  It could be one of several cat urinary tract infection symptoms.

If you use clumping cat litter, be observant of the size of the clumps when you scoop or change his litter.  You should see a few large clumps.  A whole bunch of little clumps indicates that he can’t pass much urine at one time.  This is another symptom of feline urinary problems.

Bloody urine is another clue to watch for.  It’s a little harder to see in cats than it is in dogs.  However, if your cat is urinating outside his box, you may be more apt to notice it.

Be aware of your cat’s behavior in his litter box.  Is he crying out in pain when he tries to urinate?  Is he straining to pass urine?  Often cat owners mistake this for constipation. 

Your cat should be using his litter box several times a day.  If he is urinating less and less, or stops completely, he may have a cat urinary blockage, which is a veterinary emergency.

Treatments For FLUTD

In order to treat feline lower urinary tract disease, your vet will need to run several tests to find out what’s going on with your cat.  A urinalysis is necessary to determine if your cat has a bladder infection, or if he has feline bladder stones.  A cat urine culture will tell your vet which bacteria are causing the problem, and a sensitivity test indicates which antibiotic will work best.

If your cat has a feline bladder infection, antibiotics are the usual course of treatment.  Bladder stones in cats are a common problem, too.  Your cat may have to eat a special diet so the stones can dissolve.  If your cat is blocked, he may need to be catheterized. 

Can FLUTD Be Prevented?

You can prevent your cat from becoming a statistic by taking these easy steps. 

First, feed your cat a high-quality canned food.  In the wild, cats are meant to get their water from their food, which is why cats don’t seem to drink much water.  When we take our cats out of a natural situation and feed them an unnatural diet of dry food with an extremely low moisture content, we’re setting them up for urinary tract infection symptoms. 

Canned cat food has a moisture level of about 75%, which is much closer to a cat’s natural diet.  If your cat has always been fed dry food, he may resist a change in his diet.  Cats are notoriously resistant to change, but with patience, time, and persistence, you can switch him over to canned food.

A steady supply of clean, fresh water is a must, too.

Consider giving your feline friend a natural cat uti remedy that supports bladder health.  Look for a remedy that’s made especially for cats.  You’ll want to deal only with a company with a sterling reputation for producing only the highest quality pet remedies.

Don’t let your cat become a victim of FLUTD.  Start taking steps now to protect your cat from feline lower urinary tract disease.

Fortunately you don’t have to spend a fortune on toys for your feline friend. This is largely due to the fact that they will play with whatever it is you have handy. Whether it is a string, a leaf, wrapping paper, or a ball, they will be completely content swatting it, biting it, and tearing it apart. Of course, many of these items that you have lying around your house are not the safest for kittens and cats, nor do you want them thinking that it’s ok to chew on whatever they want, this is why it’s important that they have some of their own toys.

You can choose to go through your house and find toys that will be safe for your cat or to go to the store and purchase a few cat designated toys. Some toys that are safe to give your cat that you find around the house are:

• Small balls that bounce, but they can’t chew apart and aren’t so small that they will get caught in their throat.
• Sewing supplies such as a empty wooden thread spool
• Balled up paper
• Boxes and gift bags filled with tissue paper

Items around the house that you should not give your cat or kitten for health and safety reasons:

• Balls of string, yarn, or spools with thread on them
• Anything with wire in it
• Anything aluminum or cellophane
• Plastic bags
• Rubber bands
• Nothing that is sharp or pointy
• Nothing that can break and hurt your cat
• Nothing that they can chew off and get stuck in their throat

You can find many fun and colorful cat toys at your local supermarket or pet store. The key is to use your judgment before you buy any of them. Carefully look them over and make sure they won’t become hazardous to your cat as he plays with them. It’s smart and cost effective to start out with a few toys so that you can see what your cat chooses to play with and what they do not. Also it’s important to note that some cat toys should only be used when you are there playing with your cat or kitten.

A Collar, Leash, and Harness for Your Cat

A collar is a very important thing if you have a cat who enjoys both the indoors as well as the outdoors. An important thing to keep in mind when buying a collar for your cat is that if they are quite active and curious, you will need to find a collar that can break away. Although a breakaway collar seems kind of strange, it is really in the best interest for your cat and their safety.

If you cat is outdoors or even inside and their collar gets caught on something you do not want them to choke, that is why it’s important to look for a breakaway collar. You should have your kitten or cat begins wearing their collar as soon as possible so that they become accustomed to it.

Also make sure that your cat has some sort of identification on their collar if they get lost or find themselves out of your house. You can also choose to purchase a leash and a harness if you wish to take your cat or kitten out for a walk. If you have the opportunity to train them how to walk with a leash when they are young they will adapt to it much better.

Not all cats like the leash around their neck which is why it might be necessary to purchase a harness which will be more comfortable for the cat and give you more control as well.

What You Will Need to Groom Your Cat

Grooming is a big part of having a cat, especially if you have a long haired cat so you will need to have the proper grooming tools, even if you have a short haired cat. Mainly you will just need to have a flea comb and a brush, but the tools that you will need depend largely on what type of fur your cat has. Grooming is important in order to prevent hairballs and it will also help to cut down on how much cat hair will be on your furniture.

Cat ownership in WA is under siege by local cat laws newly introduced by the Shire of Swan and soon to be implemented by the City of Joondalup.  Cat owners will be penalized by fines if their cat unwittingly trespasses onto a neighbours property without their permission.  The ultimate penalty is the trapping of your beloved moggy by a neighbour in a trap supplied by the shire and the impoundment and possible euthanization of your cat if you can’t locate it within 7 days.

The legal trapping of cats opened up by these new local cat laws will only encourage vigilantes who hate cats to have an ‘open season’ on cats in their neighborhood.  The Cat Haven, a well known Perth based cat rescue group have already reported incidences of cats caught in traps being drowned in lakes.  A horrible death for any animal with no chance of escape – and astonishingly still a set of laws introduced in such poor format by local councils that policing these laws is almost impossible. 

Very little forethought went into the ultimate outcomes that these laws would fester, if councils honestly thought that residents of their shire would act responsibly under these new laws they have already been witness to the folly of their naivety.   With cats being drowned in traps and my own experience of having my cat Simon being trapped by a neighbour in my own street and taken to the pound with no consultation with the shire.  I managed to rescue my cat Simon on Day 6, it was clearly a lucky day for him will your cat be so lucky?

Parts of these laws have validation with responsible cat ownership including limiting the number of cats per household, sterilizing cats, micro-chipping or identifying your cat with a collar & identification tag and keeping your cat indoors from the hours of 9pm to 6 am is also very doable.

What these laws fail to take into consideration is the intrinsic nature of cats and the impossibility of cat owners to always control some of their inherit behaviors which have allowed cats to survive well prior to their domestication.
 
Cats are highly independent creatures who value their freedom, they have instinctual drives to patrol their territory and to chase off any intruders entering their territory.  Cats have very strong maternal instincts and are predatory in nature and mark their territory with their scent to keep any other animals out of their area.  Cats rely on these instincts to get through life and expecting them to change these behaviors is literally asking them to stop being a cat. 

Cats cannot be trained like the dog species and forcing cat owners to achieve the impossible by preventing their cats from occasionally wandering into a neighbours yard is simply ludicrous! The harsh penalty of trapping cats, impounding them and having your cat euthanized as a result is a sickening and heart breaking reality now for cat owners and their families. That this type of action is being implemented by your local shire and your neighbours is just disgusting.

You can protest against these new local cat laws by  visiting  www.aussiecats.com  and having your say.

If you want a romantic getaway in the Bahamas, or just to recharge your batteries, then try the Pigeon Cay Beach Club on Cat Island.

As a romantic getaway, a deserted beach, a small hotel style beach club, with blue sea and white sands sounds just about perfect. In fact the vast majority of the guests who come to stay at and return to the Pigeon Cay Beach Club will tell you that it is just that.

What we are talking about here is a bay measuring eight miles of which over three miles of it are powder white sand.

The Pigeon Cay Beach Club consists of only seven cottages, and you literally walk out of them and into the turquoise sea. Just let your imagination run riot, because this is how it is. There are seven cottages three of which are double occupancy, another will accommodate up to four people, and then the Big House, and Lily House can take six, and really are superb.

All the cottages have all home comforts supplied, with ceiling fans but no air conditioning, but in fact with the cool breezes that isn’t necessary anyway. Lovely and fluffy beach towels are included as is breakfast. The bar by the beach runs on an honour system.

With an average cost of less than USD250 per night not only is Pigeon Cay Beach Club a romantic getaway it is a relatively cheap romantic getaway, and consistent in the favourable comments made, are words like peacefulness, and remote. A gorgeous location, with the accommodation being not only very clean but very well equipped.

Recommendations include signing up for dinner on the premises, because of the ambience of eating on the lovely beach as the sun goes down. You will find the food very tasty and the meals go from plain home style cooking to gourmet, with quite naturally quite an emphasis on fish.

Cat Island is a great place for birdwatching, and you’ll be able to borrow books for identification purposes. One of the reasons Cat Island in general and Pigeon Cay Beach Club make for a great Caribbean honeymoon destination is the peace and quiet, and the lack of things to do. This makes it great after all the hustle and bustle of a wedding where you will have been under pressure for a long time, so it is great to just come here, and be the only footprints on the beach and just totally unwind.

The Pigeon Cay Beach Club supplies things like kayaks and bicycles free, and so you can explore on wheels or on the water to your heart’s content. Miles down the beach there is a lovely tidal creek and you’ll be able to wade some stunning bonefish flats if that is the kind of thing you want to do.

Another nice thing about places like Pigeon Cay Beach Club is that the people you will meet there are of a similar disposition to yourself. People who like small, peace and quiet, unfussy, back to nature places, and not big bold and brassy hotels where you could be anywhere. Also you will meet the inhabitants of Cat Island when you go exploring, and a nicer group of people you are unlikely to meet.

Pigeon Cay Beach Club will give you the Caribbean the way it used to be, with the choice of self catering, or dining , and for a romantic getaway or a Caribbean Honeymoon Vacation it is affordable, clean, restful in beautiful surroundings on Cat Island.

Anyone who has owned a pet knows that buying pet supplies can become an extremely expensive endeavor. Pet needs are almost always underestimated until you actually have the animal living in your home, and you quickly realize that the animal needs proper bedding, toys, a carrier, leash, outdoor containment, grooming tools, as well as medicine and food. Properly taking care of your pet shouldn’t have to cost a fortune.

The resources below will help you find pet supplies, medicine, and food that will cost far less than the retail prices you’ll find at any grocery or department store.

Coupons for Pet Supplies

One of the first places to look for significant savings on pet supplies is through using coupons. Coupons can provide some significant savings on supplies, sometimes up to or greater than 50%. Various outlets, such as PetSmart, even offer free shopping for orders over a certain size. This means that by simply doing your pet supply shopping online, you are saving a fortune.

One of the best coupon providers with the most coupons for pet supplies is Coupon Mountain, with coupons for pet supplies, pet medications, and online deals for most of the major pet supply retailers. A few examples of the deals to be found at Coupon Mountain

With prices this low, it doesn’t make sense to walk into a retail pet store anymore – shopping online saves so much more.

Pet Portraits, Send 5% Savings to an Animal Rescue Foundation

One of the most unique things you can do to capture the character of your pet, and to show people how much love you have for your furry friend, is to have a pet portrait done by professional artist Nikky Hughes of Los Angeles. Nikky was classically trained at the Mission Renaissance art school, and she focuses on capturing not only the beauty, but the unique character of each animal. She will accept photos through the mail of pets, and then create stunning portraits from those pictures. Pet portraits are ideal because they can be done from a photo (as apposed to getting the pet to “pose” at a studio.)

The great thing about Nikky is that she’s a pet lover herself, and this is reflected in how she runs her business. She discounts every commissioned painting by 5%, and sends those savings as a donation to an animal rescue foundation. This shows how Nikky’s love for all animals is not only reflected in her heartfelt portraits, but also in how she runs her business.

PetCo

Of course, another way to save a fortune off of pet supplies that you wouldn’t normally save if you simply visit a brick-and-mortar store, is to visit that store’s website. Petco also has a comprehensive online website where shoppers can shop virtually for all pet supplies. Petco provides internet only discounts to internet shoppers, such as free shopping, some of the lowest prices available anywhere for Frontline products, and each category (dogs, cats, fish, etc.) has a section devoted to sales, where you can find some impressive discounts off all kinds of pet products.

People have had dogs and cats living in their households for centuries. Since earliest times, these animals became affectionate family companions, but dogs have also been hunting partners while cats were appreciated for their abilities to kill the rats that threatened the grain supplies. Today, dogs still accompany hunting parties and cats are still killing rats, but these skills are no longer as critical to our food supplies as they once were. Yet there is little indication that our affections for these animals will likely decline as these initial services become less important. Instead, people have found that cats and dogs can provide many more services to our lives. Here are just a few examples of jobs performed by dogs and cats today:

HERDING, GUARDING LIVESTOCK: Dogs are still trained to attend to livestock. Border collies and sheep dogs were bred for this purpose and many are still working in this capacity on today’s farms and ranches.

ANIMALS IN ENTERTAINMENT: Animals are popular movie and television stars; think Lassie, Rin Tin Tin, Benji and Garfield, to name a few. Manufacturers use pet stars in front of the camera to promote their pet foods and other pet products in television commercials and magazine advertisements.

TASTE TESTERS: In addition to the marketing department, pet food manufacturers also employ cats and dogs as taste-testers for developing new formulas in their cat food and dog food kitchens.

SHOWS AND COMPETITIONS: Some animal shows seek to award the “best in breed” for well-bred dogs or cats, while other meets are for both cats and dogs to focus on agility through obstacle courses. Whether competing on the basis of beauty or athletics, the winners of these events can win cash awards.

DOGS IN SPORTS: As previously mentioned, dogs are still trained to join in hunting trips; both as members of many conventional hunting excursions as well as the trained hounds in a traditional fox hunt. Many dogs enjoy a game of Frisbee, some for leisure and some in competition. Dogs are also racing athletes, such as greyhound races and dog sled races, including the Iditarod.

SERVICE AND ASSISTANCE DOGS: Most people think a service dog is a “seeing eye dog” but there are many more services that dogs have been trained to perform. In addition to helping to guide blind people, service dogs can also be taught turn on lights, open doors, fetch medication and call 9-1-1. Deaf people can get “hearing dogs” that will notify them of doorbells, ringing telephones and smoke alarms. People susceptible to seizures can get dogs to provide a number of specific services, often including sensing when a seizure is coming and rendering aid beforehand.

POLICE AND MILITARY DOGS: These dogs are highly trained specialists. Among the many job opportunities are sentry, scout and patrol duties; sniffing out drugs, bombs, or other explosives; and searching for casualties. In one recent story, a police dog in training was too fond of people and was not doing well with his lessons in controlling criminals, so he was transferred to Search and Rescue where his unwavering affection for people was more appreciated. Besides their very specialized instruction, these dogs must also learn to remain calm and stay focused in the midst of highly chaotic situations.

THERAPY DOGS: Do you have a companion dog that is mild-mannered, likes people and responds to basic obedience commands? Here is an idea, an opportunity for your pooch to perform a heartwarming bit of community service as a “therapy dog.” Therapy dogs visit residents of nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, children’s hospitals, even juvenile detention centers. No special training is required for a well-behaved dog to bring a moment of joy, complete with a wagging tail, which transcends the details of these people’s current circumstances. If you can spare a few hours, please call a facility near your home and secure an invitation to bring your dog for a visit. The experience will have a huge impact on the residents, and on you.

Dogs and cats can be taught to perform many more services than their original tasks that brought them into our homes, even more than these listed here. They serve us tirelessly without complaint for simple rewards of affection.

Online shopping has made life enormously more convenient in many regards. No longer do consumers need to drive for miles, burning expensive gas and possibly an entire weekend day going from one store to another. Pet supplies are one of the most convenient items to purchase online, for several reasons.

Anyone who lives with a cat knows the perils of suddenly changing the animal’s food. Cats prefer a consistent diet of a food they like and changing that food can cause digestive, and other, problems. Most cat owners like to buy a large quantity of their pet’s preferred food and shopping online allows them to do this, at a discount, without hunting around for a store that carries their pet’s preferred brand.

Those who own more exotic pets have a special set of needs where pet supplies are concerned. Sensitive animals such as reptiles, tropical fish, birds and other animals require very specific items for their care that are often not available at most pet stores. Online pet stores tend to carry a wide range of items for just about any pet’s needs. For these pet owners, in particular, buying pet supplies online is enormously more convenient and, almost always, much less expensive.

Dogs have a well-deserved reputation as our best friends and, in fact, humans domesticated dogs before any other species. Dogs, especially large breeds, can consume an impressive amount of food. Buying this food in bulk quantities online is much more affordable that buying it one bag at a time from a regular store.

Online shopping does not eliminate one of the most fun aspects of shopping for a pet: impulse buys. Pet owners tend to develop a detailed knowledge of what their pets like and are usually able to tell immediately what kinds of toys would capture their interest. Online shopping for pet supplies often entails a stop over to the toys section to see what a beloved cat or dog might find exciting . Having an extra treat in the box is fun for the pet and the owner alike.

The convenience of having these items delivered to your home instead of having to drive them back yourself cannot be overstated. This is the appeal of most online shopping, the item is ordered and no further action is needed. It shows up within a convenient amount of time and, in most cases, combining the shipping on many items can save money.

Shopping for pet supplies at the usual big box stores can be time consuming, more expensive than one might think and something of a hassle. There’s often a long line, slow service and limited choices in the products available. If you’re going to do something for your pet, it makes more sense to skip this chore, order the supplies they need online and use the time you gain to spend a little extra time with your pet. More than anything, pets want affection and attention, the same things they give to us.

Inevitably, as it may seems many people are allergic to cats and dogs but in truth its only 15 per cent of us according to the Humane Society of the United States, one of the reason that this issue matters to the HSUS, which is a nonprofit organization in Washington, D.C. for the protection of welfare for all animals, is that despite loving pets people often abandon them when they cannot cope with their allergic reaction due to their pets.

Test have shown that,in the case of cat allergy,these symptoms are essentially a reaction to the animal’s fur.To be more precise,it is a reaction to a mixture of shed hairs,cat’s saliva and tiny particles of shed skin.This almost invisible dander or dandruff,when floats in the air it triggers the response in individuals who have particular over sensitivity.

Aithough there are symptoms an allergic person experiences include runny nose,itchy or watery eyes,coughing,shortness of breath,wheezing and hives,if you develope these symptom when you are in close quarters with a cat or during actual contact,there is a good chance that you are allergic,However,there are other possible reasons for these symptoms,so don’t just assume its because of the cat.

Research has being carried out by the Parmaceutical Corporation in Cambridge Massachusette, on a cat allergy vaccine called catvax.Tests have all so in progress with human volunteers at the John Hopkins University in maryland to establish its efficiency.Unlike other allergy vaccines in the past,catvax promises to be permanently effective after only a few in jection and have no side effects.

Pets get sick just like humans and are expected to take medicines to heal and get better. Online pet pharmacies offer pet owners the option of ordering any type of medicine recommended by a veterinarian and the pet owner will know that it will arrive at the residence within 24-hours. This type of pet service allows pet owners to care for their pets year-round, and receive discounted prices on the medications that they purchase for their favorite dog or cat.

Non-prescription medications can be purchased at online pet pharmacies too. Pets will often suffer from fleas and ticks, and some flea powders are sold through online pharmacies that will make these irritating pests less noticeable and some medications will create barriers to keep parasites away. Pet flea problems can affect the welfare and happiness of every family because they make their homes in bedding and carpeting and reproduce rapidly throughout many parts of the house.

These pet pharmacies keep non-prescription medications in stock that will alleviate ear mites in dogs and cats. Pet owners can save money when they shop at online pharmacies for these pet products because the mark-up taken by an online retailer is less than the prices placed on pet products found in a land-based pet store. Online pharmacies provide personal care products for pets because pets need to be groomed on a daily basis, just as human counterparts will. Pet brush sets will often include nail clippers because pets nails grow rapidly too.

Pet owners can receive deep discounts on pet products that protect a pet’s health year round. The most common non-prescription drug ordered through pet pharmacies are those that treat heartworms. Heartworm medications are available in capsules that are dispensed on a monthly basis to pets. Pet owners can order these vital medications online from these pharmacies and ensure that the pet has protection against heartworms in their bodies year round.

Some pet pharmacies keep other grooming products in stock that will keep a pets coat sleek and shiny. Non-prescription vitamins can be purchased online at pharmacies for prices that are far lower than those sold by veterinarians or in a pet store in town. These vitamins are available in pill or liquid forms and are simple to administer to pets when they are fed each day. Some water-soluble vitamins can be added to the pets water dish and consumed throughout the day. This is a convenient way to ensure that the pet has a full and satisfying diet plan.

Some dogs will benefit from pet pharmacies if they suffer from chronic musculosketal disorders. This ailment is common in large breeds of dogs and affects the soft tissues around joints. Medications to treat this animal disorder will help give a dog pain relief while reducing the amount of inflammation that occurs around the joints throughout the skeletal system. These pharmacies keep medications on hand to reduce swelling, and some are steroid based and a prescription is needed before it can be dispensed by the online pet pharmacies.
