Are cats good pets?
Answers:
yes
Yes they are. Cats are independent animals so they can take care of themselves, they use a litter box and you just have to clean the box and feed them and they are happy.
Cats are EXCELLENT pets - otherwise I would not have approx 15 of them!
no you get lot of helth problems because its hair countaine some poision
Cats can be amazing pets if thats the kind of animal you want.. Cats aren't really energetic unless it's a kitten... If you want a pet thats not hard to take care of and that is basically lazy your set.
sum1 said having a cat is being lazy, but cats are animals that most of the tym latch to one member of the houshold that it really lyks so others might see he/she as mean lazy or watever, cat are independent,so wat if they got a little box better then holding poop in public, older cats are entergitic at least mine is. but cats a e wonderful and fun loving anime no need to worry about a cat cumming to anybody who can make a kissy sound
HECK YA!! i grew up w/ them. i know they are independent animals that u only hafta clean the "kitty crapper" as i called it. personally, i think they are better than dogs, but only 4 the fact that they dont smell, dont drool, u dont hafta take them 4 walks or clean up after they messed in the grass(or wherever). they bathe themselves so u dont hafta worry about fiting w/ them. sum ppl cut their claws 1ts in a while(we did), but not all ppl do that. that can b a little bit of a pain but its really not hard @ all.%26 its totally worth it not getting scratched ne more afterwards.:D 1 of my cats luved running across the floor after his claws were cut cuz he could skid across . seemed 2b having fun, lol. hm, what else could i say about them? theres so much...
btw, obviously ns.v is allergic 2 cats cuz only ppl w/ allergies would say sumthin like that.i never had any prob. w/ my cats @ all.
Cats are a great pet for someone who is fairly busy and would not have the time and energy to walk, play, bathe, clean, entertain, (etc.) a dog. Cats are a great "low maintenance" pet. Contrary to popular belief, cats CAN be trained and do learn to be loyal and love their owners if they are treated properly. Cats are nice because they are small, not as messy/destructive, which makes some people more apt to allow you to have a pet, if you are renting their house.
I have owned cats most of my life and have always felt "empty" at the times where I was not able to own one. My cats are like children to me! I do not live in places that are unsafe for them (i.e. on busy roads) and do not associate with/date people who do not like cats. Cats have excellent instincts about the character/true nature of a person, and I put a lot of creedence into how my cats respond to a person who is new to my house.
Oh yes.
Are cats good pets to have when you're constantly traveling for work?
I am always traveling for work and usually out of the house for at least 2 days every week. However, I would really like a pet and heard that cats can do well in this type of environment and as long as their given adequate water and food they'll be ok if left alone. Is this true? And would it be better for me to get a kitten so they can adapt to this kind of schedule from an early age or a older cat?
Answers:
While I'm sure this response is going to get flamed (along with your own question, and for that I'm sorry. some people need to learn to simply shut their mouths :) ), leaving a cat alone for longer than 2 days is -not- going to kill them.
If you leave a cat with adequate food and water, they will be fine. How do I know this? Because I've had friends that have done it before. Cats -are- very independent. This "pack" mentality that you're attempting to throw onto cats is nowhere near that of dogs. Again, speaking from personal experience.
I do -not recommened getting a kitten if you're going to be out of the house for more than a day. Kittens are, in essence, like children. They need to adapt to their home, and you are part of your home! Any cat or pet is the same, but I'd tend to say that a kitten is more "fragile," than an adult.
And, for goodness sake, yes! make sure you kitty-proof you house.
Also, if you plan to be away for an extended period of time, expect to find urine or feces outside of the litter box. All cats are different, with different moods. So, many cats are prone to rebelling. :p
Well it is definitely a better pet to have than a dog. But they still get unhappy when left alone and might do things they are not allowed to do. But two days a week is not that much, so it might be ok.
My cat had a wonderful life and he was a very happy cat; and very well behaved. But every time we went on vacation he would do all the things that were usually prohibited, like jump up on the dining table. But once we were back home he never did those things...
Hamsters are very easy to keep. The just need food and water in their cages and they are all set. You could be away for a while with them and you wouldn't have to worry about them.
cats are good for this but if you get a kitten you have to get two because one causes more damage than two> but i suggest to get an older cat because kittens need a lot or attention!!! trust me i have three!!!plus if you have kittens you need to teach them were the food and bathroom is!!! so you should get a cat that is 2-5 years old!!!!
Maybe if you have a cat that doesn't care if your not there or is really self-centered. Other wise a young energetic young kitten wouldn't be the best. Pic a hamster, a gerbil, or a chinchilla.
Cats are far more independent than dogs, but one cat will get lonely.consider getting two adult cats, they'll keep each other entertained while you're gone. A kitten tends to need too much attention to be left alone for a couple of days. Just make sure to either get one of those litter boxes that scoops itself - or have someone come in a clean it while you're gone.
That's a smell you do not want to come home to!
Well a kitten would be grate to be able to adjust. Just remember to play with your kitten when you are home...In door ,out door. Litter box. If its a kitten you'll have to litter box train it. Boy or Girl??/ Best of luck...
yeah, cats do really well with this kind of living environment. in the summer we always go down to our beach house for a couple of days every week, and the cats that we had were fine! they might be a little annoyed when you come back because of your absense, but then their okay. more than dogs, cats like their personal space, so staying alone isnt too bad.im not exactly sure whether you should get a cat or kitten, but have had both have to adapt to that kind of condition, and as long as they knew where the food and water would be, they were both fine.
I cannot believe that no one has called you out on this one. While cats are typically more independent than dogs and can survive short periods of time without direct care, this is *not* responsible pet ownership. There's a difference between leaving a pet alone for a weekend every several months and *at least* 2 days *every week.* However stand-offish they may seem, cats are social pack animals. They need attention from their pack leader (that's you). It is selfish to put your desire for an animal ahead of the needs of that animal. Get some plants.
You people who try to justify abandoning your pets for at least two days every week are simply irresponsible.
If the longest that you are ever gone is only 2 days, then--YES, a cat can do fine as long as you provide a clean litter box, large dish of dry food, fresh water, several different toys and a scratching post for the kitty. As far as getting a kitten---I don't know, they can be a handful, and as curious about EVERYTHING as they are, they can get themselves into trouble, too. If you DO decide to get a kitten--even a full-grown cat, de-kitty the home before you leave by (mainly) pulling all electrical cords in sight out of the sockets so your kitty doesn't get electrocuted or possibly burn the house down. Also, put away any/all breakable glasses, figurines, etc. Remember, when you are gone, your cat is going to get bored, and a bored kitty can get themselves into trouble real easy. Best of luck to you in this decision.

Are cats colour blind?
are cats colour blind? if so,what colours do they see in? or do they see in black %26 white
Answers:
White Cats with Blue Eyes are almost always blind! Ok they are blind Aparently their retinas is which is aparently in there eyes but in a different proportion than in the human retina. I read that in a biolgy book. Cats can see well at night I am not sure why!
why are you asking silly questions try ringing a vet or rspca
Cats are not completely color blind. They see can recognize some colors but also see in shades of white, grey and black...same question asked on YA before. The prior similar questions should have come up so you can see them before you submit your question.
I don't remember the details but you can read these...
http://www.fleascontrol.com/cats-color-b...
http://www.straightdope.com/classics/a2_...
http://www.madsci.org/posts/archives/aug...
I've read that cats can tell some colors apart but not many. If the cat looks at something up close, it has a better chance of telling what color it is.
They don't see black and white they see in gray tones.
Cats are not completely colorblind, but dont see as well as humans do. They see certain colors, but thats it. Blue eyed cats are usually blind, or, partly blind.
It was once believed that cats were colour blind, but now it's known that they can actually tell the difference between certain colours. Basically, they see the world in shades of blue and green. Though they see colour, they don't pay much attention to it because in nature, colour isn't particularly necessary to a cat's survival.

Are cats at risk from foot and mouth disease?
ours goes out all the time into a field behind the house where cows are
i know its unlikely that the cows have the disease, but is it possible in theory?
Answers:
NO. Please don't worry about your cat, only species of animals with clooved hooves such as cows, sheep and pigs can get foot and mouth disease. Interestingly though, elephants can contract it.
Horses CANNOT get foot and mouth either.
No impossible, it is only cows/sheep and I think pigs
cats don't get foot and mouth disease .Children can get it in day care centers . cows and horses can get it. I just found a site that it said that dogs and cats are carriers of the disease. They can contaminate other animals and also people.
I am not sure what causes foot and mouth disease in cattle and sheep - a parsite, bacteria, virus? I guess you could go the wikipedia.com and look it up.
Most conditions are "species specific". The critters who pass along the condition have chosen their favorite hosts to "infect" and evolved to use only one species for their survival.
Only if they have cloven feet.
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) is a highly infectious viral disease that affects cloven-hooved animals. Cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, and deer are highly susceptible to FMD. Signs of infection occur in most affected species within one to five days, but sheep and goats may never show outward evidence.There are seven or more types and 60+ subtypes of the virus, and it is constantly mutating, making preventative vaccination impractical and ineffective. FMD easily crosses species in all cloven-hooved animals. Deer and other species of wildlife can rapidly become infected and may re-infect domestic livestock. FMD is not zoonotic (transmissable to humans).Symptoms include blisters in the mouth, on the lips and tongue, on the feet and between the toes,sticky, stringy, foamy saliva; animals go off-feed because eating is painful; ruptured blisters discharging cloudy or clear fluid and leaving raw, ragged areas of loose tissue; rapid rise in body temperature, dropping to normal in two to three days and lowered conception rates. That's about all I know about foot and mouth disease. If you're cat has some of those symptoms, i sugest you take it to a vet quickly.
No it affects animals with mainly cloven hooves.
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD, Latin name Aphtae epizooticae), sometimes called hoof-and-mouth disease, is a highly contagious and sometimes fatal viral disease of cattle and pigs. It can also infect deer, goats, sheep, and other bovids with cloven hooves, as well as elephants, rats, and hedgehogs. Humans are affected only very rarely. The cause of FMD was first shown to be viral in 1897 by Friedrich Loeffler. He passed the blood of an infected animal through a fine porcelain-glass filter and found that the fluid that was collected could still cause the disease in healthy animals.
Contact your vet and ask them, they'll be able to give you a definate answer over the phone.
Hope this helps.
No foot and mouth only affects Cloven Hooved animals like cows, pigs and sheep. And possibly goats. (?not sure on goats?)
No. Its Cloven hoofed animals that are affected.
Foot and mouth only affects cloven hooved animals ie. cattle sheep goats pigs and deer. It can also affect Llamas and camels but believe me your cats are safe.

Are cats afraid of tigers?
Answers:
He might feel afraid because he is bigger. Cats are afraid of bigger animals. But I dont think a cat would be afraid of a tiger cub.
i guess so. Try putting a cat near a tiger and see.
i don't know but put your cat up to one and see that's all i can say
they will feel afraid because they are bigger as naturally cats are afraid of things bigger than themselves ... then again the tuger would haven a different scent and i heard that cats dont get on well with other cats because of territoral issues
of courwse, tigers can kill them in a second
I don't think the tiger would be able to tell the cat from any other type of prey. LUNCH! So if the cat had any sense at all, it would be afraid of the tiger. However, if the tiger saw the cat and gave chase, it would be all over for the cat.
definitely not! e.g: if a person puts a cat with one of its own kind...it is not gonna freak out or something.it will know,"hey!there's my cousin!and uncle too! i will ask them for help"
Well yes tigers are bigger than cats.
YES - they know a larger predator when they see one!
Are cats trouble?
i don't have a cat, but i'd like to get one
i'd just like your honest opinion
thanks!
Answers:
Cats are great companions. Go to your local shelter and look at each one. See which one comes up and plays with you and which one ignores you. Keep in mind that Kittens will play with just about anyone. Check out the cats that are a year or older. You can tell the type of personality they will have by that age. Some cats want to hide in another room whenever you're home. My cat, however, follows me around and "talks" to me the whole time I'm home. I adopted her about a month ago and she's 8 years old. She's the greatest cat ever. I woke up this morning to find her sleeping with her paws "hugging" my arm and her head resting on my hand.
No , cats make great pets, go ahead , get one.
They are to birds. Get a Dog
I can always smell a house that has cats. If that is not objectionable to you, then go right ahead.
well my opinion they are much easer to take care of then dogs!but at young ages they are hard cause they are hypper!but when they are older they are lost of fun!!but they do smell your house up but if u do there box 2 times a week its ok!i have 3 cats and i love them so much!
Actually no. They are very independent compared to dogs. They are fairly clean and easy to cat box train. Short haired ones require little grooming but long haired one can shed a lot and may need to be groomed quite often. They also require little entertainment besides random things like a box, a string, etc. They can also be very snugly when they want to be. Go for it!
today mine are. it's like having kids who never learn to speak. some days they're fabulous, loving and entertaining, others you just wanna kill 'em. don't get one unless you plan to take serious responsibility for their care and health. (it costs a bit a first, too- first vet visit covers EVERYTHING)
It Depends On How You Treat It,Like If You Treat It Badly Then It Will Be Very Mean,But If Your Nice To It It Will Be A Loveable Cat.
all animals are they need you 2 help look after them but they will love you bk g l
if you want a playful, interactive pet, a cat is not the way to go. but, for a quiet, only-sometimes-wired pet that you can pet and don't have to take on walks all the time, get a cat. fyi, that's only some cats. cats can be different. if possible, take the cat out before you buy it to see what it's personality is like. if you don't want a moody, territorial cat, don't get a male. but again, that's only some male cats.
I HATE CATS>.
No there not but it would be best to read up on them first.
Cats require shots, regular vet visits, spay or neutering.
They require more than just putting down food and water.
Are you ready to make a commitment on being a responsible pet owner?.
Thanks for asking.
It depends on how the cats personality is. If it is shy and mean then it will be trouble. But if it is nice and bright then it will be the best cat ever.
Hope i helped lots,
Gabby
P.S. If you have a webkinz add me it is CrazyGabby95
Cats are curious by nature, and can be very playful. But their are no bad pets only bad owners. Training is very important, use a squirt gun to teach them not to jump on area you want them to stay off of.
they are trouble and its funny when they play and jump on things any play its very cute but if you get a cat try not to get a kitten to young like 5 months my kittens are 5 months and ive had them since they were 3 weeks and i sometimes wish i never got them but i love them so yea the point is that they are trouble and my dad yells at me all the time and them as well actually ten minutes ago he claimed one tried to scrap off his face they were behind the couch and jusmped on the bach and slapped him in the face it was funny hope i helped
If you want a nicer, docile cat, I would pick an older one (over the age of 2 years old). Most kittens/young cats, although super cute, can be very hyper. My 10 month old is at the stage where he runs around for no good reason, knocks things off of shelves and attacks his older sister. This is completely normal for his age, and I don't mind it but some people can't take that type of behaviour. If you feel that you can't deal with that, just get an older one. My other cat, who I found when she was 2.5 years old, has been wonderfully calm and gentle. She does like to play with string and stuff but she doesn't knock things down or run around, jumping crazily onto things. I would suggest going to the humane society (or another rescue) where they have a selection of many cats. See if you can't hold some older cats. You'll be able to tell which one is the right one for you - their personalities will shine through. (I'd go for the 'lap cat' who likes to cuddle and might even purr a little (although most won't purr simply because they are in the an area with so many other animals). Another option is to find older cats in the newspaper or on Kijiji.com (or kijiji.ca.). I have often seen ads for older cats on there, often due to a new baby who has allergies. That way too, you'll be able to see the cat in it's element, where it feels comfortable - and it's personality will be true there.
Hope that helps!
Hi honey. No cats are no trouble at all. They are terrific pets and quite friendly. They love being held (especially if you get them as a kitty and raise them to be held)...petted and going to sleep right on your bed. What better company is there?
They are affectionate and extremely loyal. They make a wonderful addition to any home.
Hope you find the kitten of your dreams. Blessings, Patti
When you have kittens they are a little bit of trouble. Once they get older they aren't much trouble.
i'd just like your honest opinion
thanks!

Hope i helped lots,

Cats are curious by nature, and can be very playful. But their are no bad pets only bad owners. Training is very important, use a squirt gun to teach them not to jump on area you want them to stay off of.
they are trouble and its funny when they play and jump on things any play its very cute but if you get a cat try not to get a kitten to young like 5 months my kittens are 5 months and ive had them since they were 3 weeks and i sometimes wish i never got them but i love them so yea the point is that they are trouble and my dad yells at me all the time and them as well actually ten minutes ago he claimed one tried to scrap off his face they were behind the couch and jusmped on the bach and slapped him in the face it was funny hope i helped
If you want a nicer, docile cat, I would pick an older one (over the age of 2 years old). Most kittens/young cats, although super cute, can be very hyper. My 10 month old is at the stage where he runs around for no good reason, knocks things off of shelves and attacks his older sister. This is completely normal for his age, and I don't mind it but some people can't take that type of behaviour. If you feel that you can't deal with that, just get an older one. My other cat, who I found when she was 2.5 years old, has been wonderfully calm and gentle. She does like to play with string and stuff but she doesn't knock things down or run around, jumping crazily onto things. I would suggest going to the humane society (or another rescue) where they have a selection of many cats. See if you can't hold some older cats. You'll be able to tell which one is the right one for you - their personalities will shine through. (I'd go for the 'lap cat' who likes to cuddle and might even purr a little (although most won't purr simply because they are in the an area with so many other animals). Another option is to find older cats in the newspaper or on Kijiji.com (or kijiji.ca.). I have often seen ads for older cats on there, often due to a new baby who has allergies. That way too, you'll be able to see the cat in it's element, where it feels comfortable - and it's personality will be true there.
Hope that helps!
Hi honey. No cats are no trouble at all. They are terrific pets and quite friendly. They love being held (especially if you get them as a kitty and raise them to be held)...petted and going to sleep right on your bed. What better company is there?
They are affectionate and extremely loyal. They make a wonderful addition to any home.
Hope you find the kitten of your dreams. Blessings, Patti
When you have kittens they are a little bit of trouble. Once they get older they aren't much trouble.
