Do Cats Really Love Us Or Just Being Nice?
May 1st, 2009 at 03:26 am by Cat Lover in Cat Information
There is no simple answer to the question. It can be hypothetical question with two sides of argument towards the feline response and behavior to the pet owner. I think a cat behavior and response tend to be honest and candid emotions.
Like being explained earlier, it can prove to be tricky by explaining a cat’s love for the owner. However, we do know or can observed that cat do tend to express its own reactions and emotions strongly. Fear, anger, excitement and affection are easily displayed by cats. The next form of argument links back to the perception and how humans interpret of a cat behavior.

How Do Cats Find Their Way Home?
April 22nd, 2009 at 12:07 am by Cat Lover in Cat InformationIs their truth to say that cats cannot find the way home after long wanderings or just another debate to old wives tales to counter these statements.
We have to understand that cats, besides having a strong sight, they do have another strong sensory using the nose for their scent and communication. For most cats, it pose no problem for them to find their home within distance of 2 to 3 miles. In most tests, most cats are able to make their way straight home from the point of drop off origin even if have been given a detour. A cat with outdoor experience will be more decisive and superior in operating these tests as compare with a household indoor cat.

Sense of Smell In Cats
April 19th, 2009 at 11:30 pm by Cat Lover in Cat InformationContrary to the belief that smell importance to the dog is more than cat is very misleading. Firstly we have to understand the different nature in circumstances surrounding both animals.
Animals make strong use of their senses to get around things, in the dog world it is consider the so –call macrosmate;living primarily in the world of smells.

The Importance Of Neutering Your Cat
April 16th, 2009 at 06:30 am by Cat Lover in Cat HealthWith the large number of homeless and feral cats in the world, it is no wonder that people are beginning to realize the importance of neutering their cats. After all, since cats can reproduce several times a year and mature quickly, just two feral cats can quickly become twenty.
These feral cats are often actually unaltered pet cats that were released by owners who no longer could care for them. A colony of feral cats can spread diseases to pet cats and dogs in the area. Even when the cats are fairly healthy, they are often infested with fleas. When female cats are in heat, the colony can literally keep people up all night with their fighting and crying. Hungry cats will raid the trashcan and playful kittens will destroy shrubbery and soil lawn furniture.

Multiple Cats Households
April 12th, 2009 at 06:29 am by Cat Lover in Cat CareFor many people, a single cat is the ideal situation. However, for others, cats seem to be like potato chips. They can’t stop with just one. This is partly because there are so many wonderful cat breeds and partly because most cats enjoy the companionship of other cats.
Is owning more than one cat right for the cat you already own? If your cat is home alone for long periods of time and seems to be lonely, he may enjoy having another cat around. In addition, an older cat will often develop a new lease on life when a new kitten joins the family. However, cats who enjoy their solitude or are very territorial towards their homes and families may not appreciate sharing their lives with another cat.

Cat Litter Boxes
April 7th, 2009 at 06:27 am by Cat Lover in Cat AccessoriesFor most cat owners, one of the biggest drawbacks of owning a cat is the dreaded cat litter box. Few people like to clean litter boxes. After all, they aren’t just smelly. Litter can be quite dusty and people that change litter boxes are more susceptible to some cat diseases that can be caught by humans than people that do not change their cats’ litter boxes.
Luckily, there are several new litter box designs that make the task of changing cat litter much easier. One popular design is the hooded litter box. These boxes provide privacy for more sensitive cats, but they also help keep down litter dust. The hooded box is ideal for a single cat, as long as the cat’s owners can change the box frequently to keep it smelling clean and fresh. For people who don’t want to handle the soiled litter, there are removable liners for these boxes. Simply lift out the whole liner filled with soiled litter and discard it. Lay down a new liner, add fresh cat litter, and replace the lid.

Your Persian Cat And Houseplants
April 4th, 2009 at 06:27 am by Cat Lover in Cat CareYour Persian cat will absolutely adore your houseplants and the truth is that most are toxic to him. Many will cause him to become ill and some will even be fatal but none of this will prevent him from chewing them and digging in the soil.
There are three things that you can do to prevent your Persian cat from not only ruining your houseplants, but also prevent him from becoming ill. The first step is to prevent him from digging in the soil. This is easily done by covering the top of the soil with pebbles or rocks. Space between the rocks will still allow water and air to get to the soil, so this is usually not a problem for the plants.

Training Persian Cats
April 1st, 2009 at 06:22 am by Cat Lover in Cat TrainingWhen it comes to cats, few people consider training. For the most part, it is the cat that trains the owner Iin the case of Persians, you must provide some level of training for your cat and after it has been established that he is boss of course.
Few cats can be trained to do tricks. For the most part, when it comes to Persians, there are two types of training. The first is litter training. The second is training good behavior. Cats really can be trained to have good acceptable behavior. Tricks, on the other hand, really aren’t their thing, although they will be open to training you to do some tricks that will greatly entertain and amuse them.

The History of Persian Cats
March 28th, 2009 at 06:20 am by Cat Lover in Cat InformationBelieve it or not, Persians are thought to be the oldest breed of cats, but at the same time, there are numerous different versions of where the Persian cat began. It is widely believed, however, in all versions that the Persian cat originated in the country that was once known as Persia, which is now modern day Iran.
The popular version of the Persian cat history is that Persians were introduced first to Italy, around 1620, by Pietro della Valle and that they were brought from Turkey to France by Nicholas Claude Fabri de Peiresc about the same time. These are documented instances, and again, they fit into all versions of the Persians history.
