A Garden for your Pet Cat Cats enjoy roaming around in gardens, investigation and getting into mischief. Why not set aside a piece of garden to bring pleasure to your cat(s).
We have two house cats, a Ragdoll and a Persian Chinchilla, that love to go out and play in the sun. We set aside a part of the garden to the rear of the house which would be 3/4 lawn and the rest a planted raised bed.
What Causes Ear Problems In Cats?
Filed Under Pets | Posted on March 6, 2008
If your cat’s ears are bothering her, there can be many reasons. Don’t ignore her if she’s scratching her ears more often than normal, or if she shakes her head a lot. She may have ear mites, which can lead to more serious conditions.
What are ear mites? They’re small parasites that live in your furry friend’s ears. Their bites cause intense itching, which can just about drive her (and you) crazy. If you suspect your kitty has mites, look in her ears. If you see dark brown waxy stuff in there that looks like coffee grounds, your buddy probably has them.
Kitten Development
Filed Under Pets | Posted on March 4, 2008
A kitten is not totally independent until about 6 months old. In the wild it would remain with its mother until then, if not longer. A kitten can be fully weaned at about 8 weeks old. It should not leave its mother until then. Pedigree kittens suckle for two weeks longer than non-pedigrees and are not fully weaned until 12 weeks old.
EYES
A kitten’s eyes will open from 8 days old onwards, although, some take up to 3 weeks. All kittens are born with blue eyes, as they grow the eyes change colour. The final colour will be evident at 12 weeks old.
