As a lot of you know we picked up our kitty a week ago at a local shelter. He's an 8 month old male that is an indoor only cat. I have questions and would appreciate your thoughts and input:
Is it normal for my cat to lick is back-sides clean after pooing (yeck!)? If is, do cats do that after each trip to the litter box (did I say “yeck!” yet?)?
How many times a day does a cat use the litter box? Ours seems to fill it up by the end of the day.
How do you prevent (if even possible) a cat from tracking cat litter on floor when he’s done doing his job in the litter box?
Why does our cat like to perch itself on top of furniture, chairs, etc? Why can't it just lie on the floor like a dog would?
Can a cat be trained to stay off the furniture?
Does a cat usually sleep a lot during the day? Ours doesn't seem to right now. Do cats sleep through the night or do they like to prowl around in the dark at night?
By the way, one other question, our cat seems to "meow" all the time. I didn't think a cat does it that much. Why would that be? Is he trying to tell us something?
Also, our cat likes to rub either side of his head on us, furniture, and other stand-alone items in our house. What is he doing?
Thank you.
