Cats have some basic nutritional needs. They need protein, which you can get from meat, fish, or poultry; taurine, which is an essential amino acid; and other vitamins, enzymes, minerals. Water is also important for your cat because most of them forget to drink water for days on end.
Kittens
Kittens are normally weaned at between 5 and 8 weeks. Feeding normal cat food is far from ideal. Getting the correct balance of Calcium, Phosphorus and Vitamin D with utilisable protein and high energy availability is not easy and it is our opinion that feeding a complete, high quality, kitten food is easier, cheaper and healthier than trying to do it yourself. There are several protocols on how to feed a kitten exist but an easy method is to feed a kitten as much as they can eat for 10 minutes, 4 times a day until 12 weeks, reducing to 3 times a day to 18 weeks and then twice daily. If you prefer you can allow a cat to 'graze' feed, by leaving down a large bowl of food to which they return when hungry. Good hygiene is important by regular bowl cleaning. The bones continue to grow and require kitten foods until 9-12 months of age. Ask your vet for advice on when to change diets. Feeding a complete, dry, kitten, food is good for their teeth, nutritious, has reduced health risks with fewer upset stomachs from flies and bugs and is usually cheaper than wet tinned or packet foods.
Adult Cats
It is probably preferable if not essential to change to an adult food of the same manufacturer. Quality is important and choosing a complete and balanced cat food will lend to long term health. There is no harm in adding a little food from your own dinner plate or the occasional sardine or slice of chicken, if it keeps your cat happy. Cats are obligatory carnivores and are not vegetarians and cannot use certain vegetable proteins. Try to limit these 'tit-bits' to no more than 10 less calories than the full blown adult 'maintenance diet'. Active, hunting cats tend to keep themselves slim but many cats prefer the couch and calory control is important.
The Senior Cat
When is a cat a senior cat? Most vets believe that the average cat needs increasing dietary care by 8-10 years of age. 'Senior Diets' have restricted but highly absorbable protein levels. Good carbohydrate for energy and restriction on sodium and phosphorus to safeguard the heart. Many are adding glucosamine or chondroitin to help improve joint function, taurine for heart function and sunflower oils for better skin. This dietary change is important and will help safeguard your cats future.
What Cats Should Not Eat
Who hasn’t fed their cat with some portions left over from lunch, dinner, or even a simple snack? It’s harmless—most of the time. But always do it in moderation, and avoid human food that’s known to actually hurt cats:
• Onions and Garlic. They both contain a substance (N-propyl disulphide) that can destroy your cat’s red blood cells and cause a certain form of anemia.
• Chocolate. Chocolate is very toxic to both cats and dogs. The substance Theobromine is to be blamed. It can affect both the heart and the nervous system.
• Milk. Despite popular belief, milk can still have some bad effects on cats, as many are lactose-intolerant. The lactose contained in it can give your cats stomach upsets and cramps. That’s not to say that you can’t feed it to your cat in small amounts if he really loves it. Lactose-free milk products are also available in the market.
• Grapes and Raisins. It contains an unknown toxic that can damage the kidneys of your cat.
• Raw Fish. If you feed this to your cat regularly, it can lead to a thiamine (B vitamin) deficiency which causes loss of appetite, and in extreme cases, death.
• Mushrooms. These contain toxins that can affect several systems in your cat’s body, leading to shock and death.

Cat Meowing - Why They do it, What it Means and How to Stop Unwanted Meowing
by bigrbuk
Cats do most of their meowing when they want something but they do occasionally meow to say hello. (Mine usually meows 'hello' when I arrive home from work. Although if I am late it is generally more of a 'Where the hell have you been I am starving' than a friendly greeting!).
It is estimated that cats have roughly 100 vocal sounds and that they reserve all of them for communication with their owners. (They very rarely meow at other cats.) It can take a while but, if you listen to the different types of meow, you'll begin to pick up on what each one means (much like the different cries of a baby). As I mentioned before, they usually meow when they want something and the most common reasons for meowing is to say:
I'm Hungry
I want to go out
I want to come in
I want some attention
Help!
Each of these meows will be different and some are easier to understand than others. The "I am hungry" meow is usually easy to work out as cats a pretty good at standing by their empty food bowl or the cupboard their food is kept in when they make this noise.
All of the sounds need to be evaluated alongside your cat's body language and facial expression. Over time, as you get familiar with your kitty, you'll be able to recognise what each meow means. If all else fails, just ask them what they want!
Constant Meowing
Some cat species meow a lot more than others (e.g. Siamese), but all do it to get your attention. And while most just do it when they want something in particular, some cats just meow constantly and for no apparent reason. This can be a major problem, especially if it occurs at night or early in the morning when you're trying to sleep.
Stopping Contant Meowing
Firstly, make sure that your cat isn't meowing due to an illness or medical problem. Cats do meow to communicate, not just to demand things, so illness should be ruled out first of all.
However, most cats who constantly meow are doing so because they're trying to tell you something. Please bear in mind that your cat doesn't meow just to annoy you and the quicker you can figure out the reasons for the noise, the quicker it will stop. Here a few a few things you can try:
- Feed on a regular basis.
Try and feeding your cat at set times/regular intervals so they can anticipate when they're next going to eat. You can also try leaving down the dry cat food/biscuits so that your cat can nibble whenever they get hungry. However, if you cat has a tendency to over-eat, this may not be wise.
- Install a cat flap.
Most cats can never make up their minds if they want to be in or outside. My cat is in heaven during the summer when I can leave the back door open and he can wander in and out at much as he pleases. If your cat is always in and out, a cat flap is a great option. They are fairly cheap and easy to install and you buy ones which have magnets on them so only YOUR cat can get in.
- Play.
Some cats meow a lot because they want some attention and affection. Stroke and play with your cat often to keep them from feeling lonely or neglected.
- Discipline.
Don't let your cat drive you round the bend with excessive meowing - take charge. You can either ignore them which will eventually make them stop if you don't give in (very hard to do!) or you can try the old favourites of a squirt with a water spray or a firm 'NO' and a clap of the hands. Eventually your kitty will realize that constant meowing will get them nowhere. Please ensure you remember to praise your cat and give extra attention to them when they're not meowing.

The Abyssinian Cat
by bailey
The Abyssinian Cat
History: As far as the history of the Abyssinian cat is concerned the only thing that is certain is that nothing is certain. Several theories abound, here are the most popular. The first is based on early documentation in England and points to Abyssinia (modern day Ethiopia), as the origin of this feline species. Another theory is that the early English practice of breeding tabby cats with wild cats is how the breed came to be. A third theory points to the coast of the India Ocean and Southeast Asia, this theory is based on recent genetic research. The last theory points to Africa as the home of the Abyssinian cat. This is a popular theory and the basis seems to be the resemblance of Abyssinian’s to small wild African cats.
Appearance: Abyssinian cats resemble very much the statues of ancient Egyptian cats. They are medium sized cats with short ticked coats, ticked means that the hairs have bands of color. Abyssinian cats are very lithe, muscular and graceful felines. They stand high on their long legs, giving the appearance of being on tip toe. Their coats are lustrous, dense and springy. They have a very alert look due to their forward tilting moderately large ears, wedged shaped head and large almond shaped eyes in either green or gold. They have very dramatic tabby markings around their eyes.
Personality: Abyssinian cats are very energetic, playful, and curious felines. They are always eager for any playful activity and show a spirited interest in their surroundings. An Abyssinian is an intelligent and loving cat but not usually a lap warmer.

Choosing the Best Cat for you
by bailey
Choosing the best cat for you
If you are thinking of adopting a cat or kitten, allow me to suggest some things you should take into consideration.
Don’t bring home a cat or kitten on impulse. Keeping a cat is a lifetime commitment. Your cat will become a member of your family and your new family member may live up to 25 years. Don’t choose a cat simply for its’ look. A cat is not a fashion accessory it is a living, breathing, intelligent being.
Just like people, cats have varied personalities. You should make sure you and your potential pet have similar personalities. It isn’t a good idea to pick out a cat for another person. Take them with you and share the experience of picking out just the right cat for them.
Are their other people or pets in the house that should be taken into consideration? Cats will, after a period of adjustment, get along with other cats and even dogs.
Kittens are adorable and nearly irresistible. They also require a lot more effort and time then most adult cats. If you have small children in the house then you should make sure your new kitten is at least four months old. Any kitten, however should not leave the litter till at least 8 to 12 weeks old. Do you have the time and patience to train a new kitten?
Think about where you will be getting your cat. Humane societies and shelters have just loads of cats that need homes. You will be helping an animal in need. They usually charge an adoption fee. At my local animal shelter that includes shots and spaying or neutering.
If you are looking for a specific breed of cat then you may want to look to breeders. Breeders are generally the most expensive option but frequently that includes the cats first shots. You can also get a full history of your cats ancestery. Ask your breeder.
Pet stores are not recommended. Pet stores may receive their animals from animal factories where the cats are not well cared for. My local pet store doesn’t sell cats but works with the humane society to place cats. At times they have cats on display for adoption but you should ask first.
Free kittens, reads the cardboard sign or a neighbor has a cat that has given birth. This is still a good way to get a cat. You may want to stipulate that you will keep the cat/kitten after an initial veterinarian check up. This is the least expensive way to obtain your pet.
However you go about obtaining your pet, there will be costs involved. Make sure you can handle the expense of bringing your new friend home. Some expenses to think about are bed, scratching posts, toys, food, food bowls, shots, checkups, pet insurance, spaying/neutering, litter, litter box, collar, tags, and grooming supplies.
There is also a time commitment involved. Time will have to be spent feeding, cleaning, grooming changing the litter box, playing with and training your cat. A long haired cat will take much more grooming time then a short hair. Either way daily brushing is a nice way to spend time with and bond with your cat.
Having a cat in your family can be very rewarding. Think about what is involved first and choose carefully. Good luck.

Do Cats Think?
By : John Young
I don’t know why I thought I could get away with it.
When my cat “Bear” jumped onto my lap expecting his morning petting session, I wondered if THIS time I could get away with reading the newspaper while giving him a few off-hand, preoccupied strokes.
“Heh, heh”, I thought. “I’ll start by giving him my full attention but then I’ll sneak my paper in when he’s not looking.” I “chucked” him under the chin while stroking him from head to tail, and he began rolling in ecstasy.
When he turned his back on me, sprawling on his stomach, my moment came. Quickly, I reached for the newspaper with my right hand. Continuing to pet Bear with my left, I opened it to the front page.
Bear put his ears back.
“Uh, oh”, I said to myself. “But wait…he can’t see what I’m doing. How does he know that I’m cheating?”
But he knew.
Bear tolerated it for a few moments; his ears laid back, his tail thrashing. Suddenly he leaped from my lap and lay down on the floor. After a few minutes of washing, he stared at me with an accusing expression.
I’d spoiled HIS morning petting session with my own selfishness and he was clearly letting me know the error of my ways.
Do Cat’s Think?
Cat owners may be the only pet lovers who sincerely believe their pets think. It won’t be the first time that a cat owner has the distinctly uncanny feeling that not only does his beloved cat think, but that he is being manipulated by her.
Veteran cat owners have noticed:
• Cats are an extremely obsessed and determined animal.
• Cats seem to contemplate things and make decisions.
• Cats choose and adopt people.
• Cats become offended and can hold grudges at insults to their dignity. Fortunately they forget them pretty quickly.
• They are embarrassed easily and seem to cover it up with nonchalant behavior.
• They are extremely independent, but want to cooperate with humans as long as this spirit of cooperation is thoroughly disguised.
In short, the cat “owner” always has the vague feeling that he is somehow being conned, but is never sure exactly in what way.
What do we mean by the word “think”?
Answers.com defines the ability to think as “To exercise the power of reason, as by conceiving ideas, drawing inferences, and using judgment.”
Arguably, it is the power of reason, the ability to conceive ideas, use judgment and put the results into action that has placed Man at the top of the food chain. In other words, Man dominates his/her environment because of his/her ability to think.
The cat brain and cat behavior
Cats are often used as experimental animals because the feline brain is structured like the human brain. The question is, however, do these similarities result in similar cognitive processes, i.e., can a cat actually assemble information, reason things out and make decisions?
The cat’s lack of cooperation with trainers has been taken either as a high degree of intelligence on the part of the feline (either too smart to do what a human tells her to) or a low degree (too stupid to be amenable to training).
Cat lovers usually opt for the former having the distinct impression that they, not their cats, are being trained.
Can cats use tools?
A writer for About.com, J. Justin Lancaster, reported that his cat Sasha had discovered a way to wet down her dry cat food by carrying a cotton hair “scrunchy” to the toilet to wet it and subsequently using it to drip water on her food. This may be the most sophisticated use of tools ever observed in the non-human animal kingdom.
On the other hand, most cat owners observe that a cat, when confronted with an obstacle barring her from a goal, will never move the obstacle out of the way. If the obstacle falls out of the way the cat will be momentarily surprised, but will then proceed to reach the unobstructed goal.
When finding herself again in the same situation, with the same destination blocked by the same obstacle, the cat will not knock the obstacle out of the way even though previous experience has shown that this is the best way reach the goal.
The jury is out
So, the jury is either out, or “hung”, on the question of whether or not cats think.
But when my cat, without looking at me, knows that I’m not giving him my full attention, and gives every evidenced of being miffed at this, I wonder.
Why is petting him while reading the newspaper not the same thing as petting him while using my full concentration?
It doesn’t make sense unless I accept the possibility that he has thought it out. That he has decided that it is either all or nothing, and he just isn’t going accept “playing second fiddle” to a newspaper. And his conclusion is: I’d better shape up. Anything short of my full attention is not acceptable.
He is going to get a full petting from me -- or not at all.
