Cat's breath is fine.
I can't stand people who always say (like it's some brilliantly astute advice) please take cat to vet. Sometimes I dont' bother even posting when that's the only response I get.
I DID change diet and diet DID have impact on cat breath. Also, my cats are <1year. They...
My cats' breath REALLY is vile. I plan on upgrading their diet (to something of higher quality) and getting proper feline toothpaste, but in the meantime, can I use Tom's (all natural) toothepaste a few times on them? I read human toothepaste is not ideal for cats but wondered if tha twould...
First off,
I know people will typically have a response of "Go to the Vet! TAke the cat to the vet!" I'm not going through the trouble of posting on this forum to get those stock answers and know very well that going to the vet is a consideration. Plus, that is possibly one of the least...
yeah cats can collect all types of add "coat covers" thanks to their awesome curiosity.
Okay, cool. Sounds like it's just a funny personality preference thing of cats.
Your tomas and sho cats look so cute and happy on that silk picture!
Ahhh! Now this makes sense with cat biology. It's the "scent" the loss of scent that makes them feel insecure. IT's just WEIRD as heck to think of an animal feel embarassed and defenseless because of water and the fact that her fur "got wet" doesn't really make sense, but the loss of scent...
This sounds like embarassment (that their furs messy?) but seems ridiculous a cat could feel like that. But embarassment or "warmer in the corner" seem like the only possible 2 explanations.
Yes, it does make sense that "small and scared" would lead to feeling embarassed (combined wtih uncomfortable and wet), causing her to hide out of humiliation, but it's just weird witnessing a cat displaying such a human quality -- "embarassment"! What is the cat embarassed about? I mean...
Hhhmm.. sounds better than "not" licking you; as in, behavioral issues lacking affection.
Alternatively, maybe she doesn't have enough taurine in her diet. Cats need atleast 500mg/day from their food (1g of taurine per 1 kg of food). Actually, wait....nm, taurine deficiency results in retinal...
My cat -- after a bath, when she's sopping wet -- always goes and hides in the corner, and curls up, like "she's been bad" or something.
I noticed other cats do this, too. Any correlation with cats being wet and going to corners?? Like a defensive thing, a regaining body temperature thing?
Haha! Lol! Nerdy Very well said. I take that as a highly-accurate compliment. Thanks. "VERY" nerdy would be more accurate, I think, though. If you can understand that code, your brain will have done so many "mind-benders" you'll almost instinctively understand the CONTENT of the code, and...
Molly sounds like quite the character. So many factors go into selective, preferential leniancy to humans from cats. LIke you suggested, previous owner antics (kicking, abusing while wearing certain colors-clothes, smells, etc. all shape a cat's already highly personalized experience!
Sounds like they have a great cat-and-mouse, playful hunting, healthy dynamic. But Buffy certainly appears to be quite a trickster, playfully manipulative prankster, too!
