Cat Talk - lying on your newspaper or book

Cat feels comfortable. It feels it is complete control.

Kitty Bites Me While Petting Her

Some cat owners are familiar with this cat behavior problem: you�re petting Kitty, she seems to like it because she is purring and suddenly, CHOMP! Her teeth are lodged in the flesh of your hand.



The general consensus on this problem is that the cat becomes over stimulated during petting, and can�t quite figure out how to tell you to stop. The best thing to do is DON�T PANIC. Slowly withdraw your hand, then move away from the cat. If the cat is in your lap, pull your hands away and allow it to retreat, or stand up and let the cat jump to the floor.



Learn how to recognize the signals that precede biting: wildly flicking tail, ears laid back, their pupils dilating, or their body tensing. When any of these are noticed, stop touching the animal and allow it to move away on its own.



When training a new pet, start with short time periods of petting then slowly increase the length of time. Always back away slowly when the cat shows signs of frustration.



Then there are some cats that prefer other methods of human interaction besides petting; for those animals try playing with them more and petting them less.

Canned Cat Foods to Use and Avoid

You can try �fish� flavored canned cat foods, since the fish flavors have a very distinctive smell that cats will recognize. Don�t feed your cat or kitten straight tuna that is meant for humans, since a steady diet of this will deplete their bodies of vitamin E. You can feed your cat the tuna flavored cat foods occasionally because they are supplemented with additional vitamin E to prevent this, but it might be best to avoid tuna altogether.



In addition to being a good source of nutrition on its own, canned cat food can be used as a supplement to dry cat foods, increasing it palatability and water content. Many owners simply feed their cats both.

I am very serious! Take care about your kitties!

Hello everyone! I am happy to be with you. My name is Angie, and I live with my dear hubby Chris, in a city called Tampa on Florida. We have a beautiful house with a lot of pets, among which I am mostly addicted to my pussycats, to be precise, 7 of them :-) We are a huge family and I take care about them as a real mother. Their names are (my princesses) Missy, Pumpkin, Sassy, Peaches with two boys called Oscar and Gonzo and Sly. They all can't live without us and I spent a huge deal of time taking care about these beauties and also gathering useful tips about kitties. To be honest, Chris tought me into having a kitty related blog, and since I decided that I can do it propperly, I'll try to post all the best tips I found on this blog. We'll see how it goes. Please leave comments about the tips and also send some additional ones if you have them. Let's make live better for our beauties.
