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.

Kittens' eyes typically begin to change from blue to their adult eye color around 6-8 weeks of age. The process can take several more weeks to fully complete.
Cats often seek out quiet, secluded places when they are close to death, such as under bushes, sheds, or in hidden corners of your home. It is a natural instinct for them to try to find a safe and comfortable spot to pass away.
Yes, Wikipedia does have a page about the "Warriors" book series, which is also known as "Warrior Cats". The page includes information about the characters, plot, and the different clans in the series, but it does not specifically list fur and eye colors for each cat.

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. Always remove the kitten promptly and monitor for any signs of illness. Consider alternatives like misting or a shallow bath instead.
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.
Preferrably not - cats do not get stomach aches from excessive stomach acid like humans do. You could make your cat very ill if you gave it Tums.
May cat has never told me the cause of her stomach aches, no matter how many times I ask her. Cats do vomit bile, and antacids can be used for temporary relief. You don't give them peptobismol, but you can give them tums regular formula. Avoid antacids with magnesium, like tums smoothies. If it persists and can no longer be considered acute, have your cat checked by their vet.

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.
The best time to separate kittens from their mother is when the kittens are twelve to fourteen weeks old.
Kittens six to eight weeks old have not learned any important socialisation or behaviour skills yet, which kittens learn from eight weeks onwards. During this time kittens will learn how to play and interact with their littermates, mother and any other animals and humans in the house. Some kittens are not yet fully weaned until after eight weeks.
They will learn what behaviour is acceptable and what is not from their mother, and will learn how to play and share with their littermates. They will also learn about grooming and litterbox use at this crucial time. Most kittens are well socialised by the time they are twelve weeks old, and are very likely to grow into very gentle and affectionate pets.
The symptoms of roundworms in adult cats are very similar to tapeworms. In kittens vomiting, diarrhea, dull coats, a pot belly on a thin body, and weakness are symptoms of roundworm. It is a good idea to get your kitten checked for roundworm by your vet, as it can cause serious illness in kittens.
Your vet will prescribe a dewormer, and it may have to be repeated several times before the roundworms are gone. Ascarid eggs are very resistant, so during the treatment litter should be scooped daily and litter pans washed with hot water and detergent regularly. Throw out the litter and disinfect the boxes before the end of the treatment

If you swallow a small piece of bubblegum, it's fine. It will not hurt you or anything. But you swallow a huge wad of double bubble with an extra layer of blueberry bubblegum, then, yes, you're really hurting yourself. You know when you eat food & you chew it down to swallow easier? I'm sure you couldn't swallow an entire hot dog so you have to chew it up. But bubblegum you can't really "chew." it just gets tastier when you do that and even harder to swallow, so it can get stuck in your throat. It would do too much bad to your actual body, but just don't try it.
