Dora and Francis would stand by the door. Thor, on the other hand, was the biggest cat on the ranch, with muscles like a clenched fist. He was striped gray with a gleaming white chin, and pure white socks. If I turned to discover him staring at me, the hairs on the back of my neck began to prickle. He visited the barn for breakfast and supper, but otherwise kept his distance. We decided four outdoor, and two mostly indoor cats were plenty of cats, so we spayed the remaining female, Dora.

Gaffud. You can also feed your cat a mix of these two types of food. The higher carbohydrate content and less-rationed feeding (wet food is usually packaged by single-serving portions) can also cause weight gain in cats. "There is no risk of spoilage when dry cat food is left at room temperature, so there is less food wastage," says Dr. "A dental specific (or Rx) dry food also helps in preventing periodontal disease in your cat," says Dr. "Finally, open containers of wet food must be refrigerated and should be discarded after five to seven days." "Once a wet cat food container is opened, it should be consumed within 24 hours," says Dr. Wet food typically has a strong aroma, which is appealing to cats. "Since wet food has a softer consistency, this is easier to chew for cats with dental problems." "In the case of megacolon, there is difficulty passing the food from the mouth to the stomach, so a softer diet would be more ideal," says Dr. "Dry and wet ingredients are mixed together to form a dough," she says. "The water content of dry cat food is typically around 10 percent, which means that 90 percent of the food is providing nutritional value for your cat," says Dr.

Why Do Cats Purr? Happiness Isn't the Only Reason (Animals | HowStuffWorks)

While it's most common to hear a cat's purr when they're snuggled up on their favorite lap getting their head scratched, cats also purr at the vet, when they're alone, when they're dying or after they've been threatened by another animal. Kittens are born blind and begin their purring journey when they're just a few days old, probably to let the mother cats know where they are during feeding times. Only in the past 20 years have animal behaviorists considered that a purring cat might not be 100 percent satisfied.

It was only made public recently for legal reasons, explains Ray Anderson with the Cincinnati Animal Care shelter.
