Why don't cats drink water?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cats drink alot of water because their tongues are always dry and once they get wet, in a few seconds their tongue is dry all over but their stomach is still digesting the water.

There are a few reasons why it might.

A change in food may have more salt and therefore increase the cats need for water.

Cat can develop diabetes which shows as excessive urination and water intake ravenous appetite and weight loss. Seek veterinary care if these signs are noticed.

Hyperthyroidism : The most common signs of hyperthyroidism are weight loss, increased appetite, increased thirst and urination. Hyperthyroidism can also cause vomiting, diarrhea, and hyperactivity. The cat fur or coat may appear matted or greasy. Again, testing can confirm this so seek veterinarian assistance.

What does grendel mean when he speaks of playing cat and mouse with universe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When Grendel speaks of playing cat and mouse with the universe, he is expressing his feeling of being locked in a never-ending struggle or game with the world around him. He sees himself as a predator, toying with his prey (the universe) but also feeling trapped within the cycle of life and death. Ultimately, this phrase reflects Grendel's sense of existential isolation and his search for meaning in a chaotic world.

What causes a cat to poop outside of the litter box?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I read on PetCareRx that feline diabetes, urinary tract infection, or a scarred bladder can be the primary reason why your cat is pooping outside the litter box. It can also be due to kidney stones or simply old age. It is a good idea to consult with a vet if you are concerned about this.

If a kitten gets dropped in water will it stunt its growth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Though unlikely to permanently stunt growth, dropping a kitten in water can cause immediate issues like hypothermia and shock, as well as long-term problems like ear infections and respiratory issues.

There could be a few reasons for this sudden change in behavior. It's possible that your male cat has developed a stronger bond with your husband, or that your husband has been giving him more attention recently.

How do you help a stressed cat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

ANSWER

If it's a new cat then time, patience, talking to it, giving it love and attention but not over stimulating it

They will soon calm down and start to trust you

If its a cat you've had for a while, make sure there's no changes to its environment, life, food, toys, death, etc. and again all the same as before and maybe even a trip to the vet (and of course all of the above too.)

You can also try Rescue Remedy by Bach Flower Essences. It has worked great for me in my cat rescue work! Your local green grocer probably stocks it.

What household food can you feed kittens?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If the kitten has already weaned off milk, they can eat soft baby food like products, although be sure none of these have onion or garlic in them. They do best with things like plain chicken. Do not feed them vegetables or products containing vegetables, or cow's milk. If they still need milk, talk to a veterinarian about buying bottles of cat milk formula.

Please note that human foods (unless you wish to feed your kitten a raw diet - which requires a lot of research) should never be substituted for a complete and balanced cat food.

How do you treat a superfecial cat abscess?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depending where the abscess is... it usually needs to be lanced and drained. This is very painful to the animal so care is advised when doing so. A vet should be seen for large abscesses. To clean the wound area use warm boiled water in a syringe to gently force the water throughout the wound. Put a medicated cream or antibacterial salve on the wound and try to bandage it so the cat will not lick it too much. Repeat the salve twice a day and check for reabscessing. If it does...a trip to the vet is advised.
