Do you shampoo your cat like we do for dogs?

dbhattji @dbhattji (2506) • India 13 Jul 07

I had a dog that needed a shampoo every 15 days, but I was wondering - do you have to shampoo your cat?

cheetah311 My cats are indoor only and they never need a bath. Only once when 1 of them went to the vet and had an accident in his carrier, then he needed a bath.

juliemarie84 @juliemarie84 (642) • United States 12 Jul 07

Will my cat be okay if I have my mom take care of him for a week and won't see him? I mean, my mom will make sure he's fed and stuff but he's timid and also a little aggressive, and yet clings to be a lot. I just am kind of...

cheetah311 I agree with GardenGerty, your cat will be fine. When you get back, he might avoid you for a while because he's annoyed you were gone (Years ago I had a cat who would stay away from me for a couple of hours and as he got older, he couldn't wait to see...

So at what age is a kitten a cat?

Pigglies @Pigglies (9329) • United States 13 Jul 07

I've been helping my friends adopt out some feral kittens they rescued. We've got 3 of 4 adopted out, but now the 4th one is 4 months old. We've been referring to it as being 16 weeks old, but still, when the last potential...

cheetah311 4 months is still a kitten. Last September I picked up a stray and when I brought it to the vet he said she was 6 months old and still a kitten until a year old. Then, he said, they are considered teenagers between the ages of 1 to 3. I would say, at a year...

Does your cat "talk" as he/she plays?

scribe1 @scribe1 (1203) • United States 26 Mar 07

Tonight, my Waffles cat was chasing her toy balls around and meowed as she played. I thought it was very cute. Eventually, she became tired of it all and hopped back on my bed to sleep. Some cats are quite vocal as they play,...

cheetah311 My cat, Oreo, has a soft fuzzy round ball that she thinks is her baby, I think. As she carries it around with her in her mouth she is meowing to it all the time while still carrying it. Muffin, makes all kinds of gutteral sounds, for lace of a better way of...

My sort of step son (lives with the grandparents) has two cats. One is mean but the other is a really sweet fluffy white cat. The problem is they had to make him keep them outside because he was refusing to clean up after them....

cheetah311 I agree with the other poster about the flea medication from the vet. You should ask the vet about problems with touching the cat. I would think it would absorb into the skin and it shouldn't be a problem but ask the vet. As for the fleas in the house, my...

cheetah311 Your aunt should report her suspicions to the authorities. Usually it's the ASPCA or Humane Society that enforces animal cruelty laws so you should have her call them and find out how to make a complaint. I also don't understand how people can be cruel to...

cheetah311 I once had a cat who never ate treats, just didn't like them I guess. I bought every treat on the market and he just turned his nose up at them. I wouldn't worry about it.

Why do domestic cats purr for their owners yet not for other cats?

kfg20012003 @kfg20012003 (1037) • India 28 Feb 07

have a male cat who just adores me and my girls and his motor is almost always on. We have a female cat who likes to come up and lick him on the head. While the boy cat looks like he's in heaven he doesn't purr when she does this....

cheetah311 I never really realized that but you're right. I have 5 cats and they all purr with my husband and myself but not with each other. I have read somewhere that cats also usually don't meow with each other but they have learned it's a way to communicate with...

cheetah311 It must have been so funny to see him do that. I know my cats know what gets them in trouble and what they shouldn't do and I think it's just that they like to test us to see how far they can get. He probably decided he wouldn't be able to get away with it and...

Is your mind starting to get forgetful

margieanneart @margieanneart (26423) • United States 23 Feb 07

What's with me? I am loosing it? This is scary. I cannot remember names or numbers that I should know. Sometimes, when talking, I cannot even remember the word. Even typing is getting hard. Has anyone ever gone though this?

cheetah311 I never realized you could freeze a cake. One question though, when you defrost it and eat it is it still moist or does it dry out?

Why is it that people believe their religion is the only true religion?

jumpinjack00 @jumpinjack00 (3054) • United States 5 Jan 07

People will do anything short of killing to prove their religion is IT. Of course There was a time when killing someone was an everyday occurrence because their beliefs didn't conform to yours.

Bee1955 @Bee1955 (3882) • United States 27 Feb 07
