Food And Treats

Cats rarely like any food, they are usually picky. Some like dry food, some like wet. I recommend wet food, however, it can be costly. Dry food is cheaper. Actually, both is good for cats as long as it contains nutrients and other healthy things. Any food you feed your cat has to NOT have ANY grains, corn, wheat, or gluten. Don't feed your cat sugary sweets either, cats don't have a sweet tooth. They can only taste bitter, sour, etc. If you want to teach your cat tricks you have to get the right type of treat. The best kind is probably the treats called Temptations. It's filled with meat (cats are carnivores) and nutrients, it's also practically irresistible to cats! Thumper, my cat, loves them! Just remember to feed your cat everyday, give it love and fresh water, and to make it healthy!

ANSWERED QUESTIONS

A very good question by catlover: Does a cat's tail have bones or is it muscle?
Answer: A cat's tail has bones, but has muscle moving it (most people know that). However, it is not all muscle.

Eyes

Some people wonder why cats' eyes seem to shine or glow in photos. That's because their eyes aren't made like ours. Their eyes have a special thing in the back of the eyes that causes light to reflect. The flashes from our cameras hits the cat's eye, if they don't blink, and we see the cat's eyes glow. One thing is for sure, i don't know why our eyes are red in photos.

Skeleton

A cat's skeleton is what most people think it looks like. The spine runs from the skull to the pelvis (hip) which is connected to the spine-like tail. As for a cat with a cat with no tail, the pelvis wouldn't be attached to a tail. As for a cat with a short tail, it would be the same thing but shorter. A cat's ribs would have 26 in all but 13 on each side. The shoulder blade is very much like ours but on a cat. The humerus, connected to the shoulder blade, will move down toward the stomach while the lower arm (the ulna and radius) along with the rest of leg (wrist and paw). The skull is an oval shape if the cat is looking down. The hind leg is connected to the pelvis and works just like the front leg except the humerus is the femur, the ulna is the fibula, the radius is the tibia, and it bends the opposite way. In all a long tailed house cat would have 244 bones. That's 40 more bones than a person. WOW!

Toys

There are many cat toys. They all have different shapes and sizes. Laser pens are, for some reason, a great toy. Cats love to chase the laser! Strings are not good toys for kittens. Only let mature cats play with string. There are fuzzy toys too. Thumper loves fuzzy toys, she attacks them, holds them, and then grooms them!!

Petting

Cats love to be petted! They will do anything to get petted. When they do they will purr, they will lick you, but how many cats arch their back as high as a hill? THUMPER DOES! Even when i walk in the room, up goes her back. Do you know why cats loved people petting them? Well, that's because our nails feel like their mom's rough tongue licking them. It's a soothing thing to cats. They were taken away from their family, if that happened to you would need a memory or soothing thing too.

Carpets

There are many things cats can do on the carpet. If they're not potty-trained they might go on the carpet. They will push their claws in and out on almost any soft fabric. This is called kneading. Although there are many things for a cat to do on the carpet, there is one weird thing that i think is a very unique carpet habit. Thumper rolls over and drags herself across! Weird right? It looks soooo weird. Her big, white belly stretches out, it's so hard to resist tickling!
