5 things you didn’t know about cat behavior…
😽. Rubbing When your cat rubs her head on you, it shows affection and her ownership with you. This behavior is also called "bunting."
👂. Ear-itation If you see your cat moving her ears back and forth or sideways, it's time to slowly back up. This behavior communicates anxiety and anger. On the other hand, if the ears are positioned uptight, it means she is alert for an upcoming threat.
⌨️. Interfering in your work When your cat disturbs you while you are using your computer or phone, it means it is getting jealous of it and wants your attention. Attend it and give it some toys to play with so it won't feel ignored.
😼. Eating non-food items If your cat is chewing on non-food items such as plastic, clothes, metal, wool, or inedible plants, it might have mineral deficiencies, anemia, or genetic problems. On the other hand, there's a possibility that it's doing it out of boredom.
👀. Cat eyes A simple cat stare is to get your attention, but a constant gaze means it is highly alert. Do not look directly into its eyes because it will take this as a challenge for a fight.

😸 Formulated with the optimal type in level of protein to help prevent malnutrition and reduce the risk of hepatic and encephalopathy.
😸 High an energy to help prevent weight loss.
😽 Highly palatable to encourage affected cats to eat.
😿 Highly digestible to help reduce the liver’s workload.
🙀 High in antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids to help neutralize free radicals and support natural anti-inflammatory processes.
😼 Specially formulated to help support Urinary tract health in cats which are prone to urinary conditions when under stress (such as when they are real).

🧑⚕️ Liver disease can often be tricky to diagnose. Your vet may need to test blood and urine samples and perform liver function tests such as comparing blood collected before and after a meal. Ultrasound or x-rays of the abdomen can help show any liver abnormalities. Liver biopsy can also get very useful information about exactly what the condition is, allowing for more effective and targeted treatment. 🩻 The choice of treatment depends very much on your vet’s diagnosis. Acute liver disease, often requires hospitalization, intravenous fluids (a drip) and sometimes feeding via a tube if your cat is not eating. 😿 There are many medications for both acute and chronic liver disease patients. Depending on the specific condition, your vet will choose the most appropriate ones to help your cat. But whatever the condition, changing your cat’s diet will be an essential part of managing their liver disease.
Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thekittyboss/message
Liver disease can be either long-term (chronic) or start suddenly (acute).
😿 Cats with chronic liver disease, often show vague, non-specific signs like loss of appetite, lethargy, and weight loss.
🙀 The signs of acute liver disease are often much more obvious. They can include vomiting and diarrhea, jaundice (yellowing of the skin, the whites of the eyes and gums), abdominal swelling, and excessive thirst and urination. Animals with acute disease may also have abdominal pain and fever.
Cats with liver disease often drool excessively. Cats with very severe liver disease may build up large amounts of toxins in the blood. These can affect the brain, leading to disorientation, confusion, and seizures. This is known as “hepatic encephalopathy“.

♋️ Tumours.
🧬 Genetic problems in some breeds.

You are an excellent caregiver, and your feline companion is one of the lucky ones. 🍀 You have established home dental care as a healthful habit for your cat. 😺 Remember, home dental care protects your cat’s dental health. 🦷 A healthy mouth allows your cat to eat comfortably and promotes a high level of total body health.

Although taking your cat to your veterinarian can feel like a chore, remember that you are doing this because you love your cat, even if he or she doesn’t appreciate your care at the moment. 😾 Your cat should have a complete physical examination, which includes a dental check-up, every 6-12 months. 😺 The frequency of dental check-ups depends in part on how quickly your cat forms plaque. 🙀 Some cats form plaque more quickly than others. 😿 Regular dental check-ups can detect problems such as periodontal disease, broken teeth, and tumors. Even if your cat appears normal, it is important to provide regular professional examinations because cats can effectively hide even severe dental problems.

Repeat the same procedure on the other side of the mouth. Reward immediately with a treat. When you brush the back teeth, you often have to rely on sound and feel to know when the brush is in contact with the teeth as the back teeth are difficult to see. If at first you feel like you are brushing the gums as often as the teeth, that’s normal. As you get more familiar with where are the teeth are and as your cat understands more clearly what you are doing, you will be brushing the teeth more often than the gums. Even after you can brush all of the teeth, you may still feel as though there is room for improvement. This is just part of the learning curve. Just continue to brush your cat’s teeth daily, eventually you will feel quite proficient. Your cat will learn, too. Eventually, your cat may learn to pull his lip or her lip back as you move the brush to the back teeth.

When your cat is accustomed to the taste and feel of the toothbrush, and you are both comfortable with facial handling, you are ready to start brushing. In order to brush your cat’s teeth, you may need to hold your cat to study the head. Experiment and practice so that you can find the method that works best for your particular situation. For example, you can use one hand cradle your cat’s head tilted back slightly so the mouth will open a little. Or, cup your hand behind the cat’s head and use your thumb to lift the lip just enough to slip the brush into the mouth. Remember your cat’s whiskers are sensitive, so avoid pulling on them when you handle his or her head. With the bristles pointed up, slip to brush under the lip, and brush the upper front tooth. Turn the brush so the bristles point down and brush the lower front tooth. Brush the front teeth on the other side in the same way. Reward immediately with a treat. When brushing, use gentle short back-and-forth strokes. Cats have sensitive, relatively fragile gums compared to dogs and people. To clean under the gums, point bristles upwards while brushing the upper teeth in point bristles downwards while brushing the lower teeth. Angling the bristles in this way allows them to clean a very small space that surrounds each tooth where the gum meets the tooth. It is in the space that plaque quickly accumulates and infection can begin. Brushing the outer surfaces of the teeth is normally sufficient. Cats can usually keep the inner tooth surfaces clean with their tongue. Sometimes, problem areas will need special attention. Your veterinarian can show you these areas.

Choose a quiet location to minimise distractions. Run warm water over the toothbrush, place a dab of toothpaste on it, and encourage your cat to sample it. If you prefer, you can begin with the finger brush. But, as your toothbrushing skills improve, you should progressed to a bristled brush. If your cat doesn’t lick the toothpaste from the brush, after a dab of toothpaste a treat or on your fingertip. Or, attach the nozzle to the tube and allow your cat to sample the paste directly from the tip. Eventually, you may be able to carefully progress to introducing the toothpaste through the nozzle into the cheek area of your cat’s mouth. This method can gently acquaint your cat to the necessary facial handling involved in toothbrushing. Reward with a treat immediately. This exercise create appeal for the flavour of the toothpaste and acceptance for the feel of the brush bristles. Repeat this procedure daily until your cat will readily accept the toothpaste from the brush. Always reward with a treat.

The rate of progress depends on your cats personality and on your own dexterity. Generally, the timeframe to progress from introducing the brush and paste to brushing all of the teeth seems to be anywhere from one week to 1 month. From your cat’s perspective, home dental care can mean nice attention from you, tasty toothpaste delivered on a soft brush, and a treat afterwards. If you invest a bit of patience and a few extra minutes now, you can make sure that your cat will always think of toothbrushing as a pleasant experience. Eventually, your cat will show eager anticipation when you get out the brush, toothpaste, and a treat.

As with with any new experience, the first impression is important. When you begin teaching your cat about toothbrushing, you are introducing a new routine that will be a lifelong habit. Take your time. Let your cat accept each stage of this new routine before moving onto the next one. Toothbrushing can become a pleasant routine. Cats are good at forming habits and respond well to a consistent routine. When you consistently repeat a routine, your cat learns to anticipate your actions. You and your cat have already established a daily routine for feeding. Your cat lets you know that he or she expects to be fed at certain times. If you have more than one cat to care for, establish a “brushing order” and follow it. This is avoids jealousy by letting everyone know that his or her turn will come. Use reassurance and rewards, never reprimands. If at any time your cat is anxious, give reassurance by talking and petting, and try again. Expect progress, not perfection. Reward any progress immediately with a treat.

Toothbrushes have bristles that reach under the gumline and clean the very small space that surrounds each tooth. Plaque accumulates in the space. Devices such as gauze pads, sponge swabs, or cotton swabs remove plaque above the gumline, but cannot adequately clean the space below the gumline. Sometimes pads or swabs are helpful for introducing toothbrushing… Cats need a special toothbrush that fits the shape of their mouth. Cats have very little room between their back teeth and the inside of their cheeks. Pushing a typical toothbrush head into this cheek area can cause discomfort by stretching the skin around the mouth and pressing the bristles into the gums… You can get a toothbrush that has long soft bristles shaped into appointed tough. By placing just the tough the bristles between the cheek and teeth, the back teeth can be brushed without causing discomfort… With regular used, the bristles will lose their tough shape and will feel stiff. Timely replacement is important because I blunted brush cannot reach the back teeth, and stiff bristle irritate the gums... Toothpastes made for people should not be used for cats… Swallowing human toothpaste may result in indigestion and/or excessive sodium (salt) intake. Toothpaste developed especially for cats are available from your veterinarian. One reason that these toothpaste are recommended for cats is that they can be swallowed. This is very important since your cat cannot “rinse and spit“. The flavors of human tooth paste are rarely appealing to cats. The products available from your veterinarian have flavors that counts accept very well… In multi-cat household, each cat does have their own toothbrush, tube, and nozzle to avoid spreading infection. If any of your cats have contagious health problems, ask your veterinarian about any additional precautionary measures.

Untreated problems, such as bad breath, gingivitis (red gums), tartar accumulation, or a broken teeth, can result in a sore, sensitive mouth.
Having a sensitive, sore mouth brushed can be a painful experience. If you think your cat may have a dental problem, or if you are not sure how to examine your cats teeth, arrange a visit with your veterinarian. Your cat me not appreciate your efforts on his or her behalf at this point, but remember that you are taking very good care of your friend, even if he or she doesn’t realise it.
During the dental examination with your veterinarian, be sure to get a good look at your cats teeth. Knowing what the teeth look like will help you later when you begin your home dental care program. After your veterinarian has provided appropriate treatment for any problems, you can begin home dental care.

Cats spray to mark their territory and as a way of communicating with other cats. Cats will often use the same area again and again, so you may notice some places where your cat likes to spray more than others. The reason for this is that cats like consistency and they also like to be able to find their own scent easily if they return later on. If another cat has been around recently, your pet might want to re-mark his territory by spraying in order to make sure he’s still top cat! #catspray #cats #catsinbaskets #catswarm #catscaps #catsinatree #catstas #catsbywindows #catsloose #catsarelove #catslook #catsonly #catseye #naturalcatproducts

When your cat’s upper lip is lifted, you will see two rows ( upper and lower ) of very small teeth across the front of the mouth. These small teeth are called incisors and are designed for cutting like scissors. Directly behind the incisors are the long pointed canine teeth. The canines are designed for grasping and holding… Right behind the canines are a few smaller pointed teeth, the pre-molars. They are also for grasping and holding. The upper lip can be lifted gently with a cotton swab to show the back teeth… There is one particularly large upper tooth and another equally large lower to opposing it. These back teeth are designed to cut bite sized pieces off a larger portion. Tartar tends to accumulate quickly on these large upper back teeth.

Cats are known for being graceful creatures that spend their days lounging around and sleeping. They're also famous for getting into trouble, sometimes even managing to break the rules of physics to do so. What you might not know is that cats fart too! However, because they’re quiet, it's often hard to tell when your cat is releasing gas. But one thing is for sure - If you notice your cat is passing gas more frequently and it smells heavy, then do consider taking the cat to a vet! It may be a sign of poor gut health.

In order to help protect big cats in the wild, it is important for people to be aware of the threats that they face. Big cats, such as lions, are losing their habitats at an alarming rate due to deforestation and poaching. They are also being killed by hunters who mistakenly think that they are a danger to humans. If we want to keep these beautiful creatures alive, we need to take steps to protect their habitat and raise awareness about the dangers they face. We can do this by supporting organizations that work to protect big cats, and by educating others about the importance of conservation.

Do you know why cats' eyes glow in the dark? It's because they have a special membrane called tapetum lucidum which reflects light. This membrane is located behind the retina and it makes their eyes shine in low light conditions. Cats are nocturnal animals, so this helps them see better at night by reflecting any available light back to their retinas. Evolution is a fascinating thing, isn't it?

Cats are one of the few animals that cannot process cow's milk and therefore should not drink it. Milk is designed for baby cows, and like all mammals, they must be weaned at a certain age to stop them from drinking their mother's milk.

Cats are the most common species kept by humans. They are also the most popular pet after dogs. Cats have been domesticated since ancient times, so they are very accustomed to living with humans. Even more so, unlike dogs, cats don’t view humans differently from themselves and treat them as they would any other cat! This is why cats make such great pets - they’re independent, low maintenance, and good companions. As a cat owner, what are your observations on this?

As you already learned from previous posts, polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a progressive, hereditary disorder that causes cysts to form on the kidneys. These cysts cause the kidneys to become enlarged and gradually stop working. Unfortunately, it can be fatal in cats because it affects their ability to regulate fluids and electrolytes. Polycystic kidney disease can be cured in some cases if detected early enough but it cannot be cured if not caught until later stages of progression or when irreversible damage has already been done. In these cases, treatment is focused on helping the cat maintain its quality of life as long as possible through fluid therapy and other treatments such as dietary changes. But hey, if your cat has PKD - Don’t worry! Modern-day veterinary medicine will allow you and your feline friend to have just as good of a life experience together as if the problem didn’t exist in the first place!

The right answer to our previous post is - Persian cats!
Due to their genetics, Persian cats are way more likely to develop PKD.

In humans, polycystic kidney disease is a genetic disorder that causes clusters of cysts to grow in the kidney. This condition causes the kidneys to enlarge over time and lose function. The same goes for Persian cats! Some data suggest that genetically, Persian cats are more likely than other breeds to develop polycystic kidneys (PKD). With this in mind, it is important to do frequent check-ups on your Persian’s health and stay on the look for symptoms, such as: 1. Lethargy 2. Weight loss 3. Reduced appetite 4. Vomiting 5. Increased thirst 6. Increased urination If you have suspicions about such persistent symptoms, contact a vet immediately! #catshealth #healing #catpower #kittensofinstagram #energy #meow #catfood #sickcat #poorcat #vetsurgery #veterinarymedicine #felinesurgery

Persian cats are known for their silky coat that needs frequent attention to prevent matting. If you want your Persian cat to look its best all year round, brushing is necessary, at least every other day! Besides combing, there are many other important things to take care of. For instance: 1.

Persian cats are one of the most adorable breeds, with their long fur and round faces. But they do need a lot of care to keep them looking good. Their coats require regular combing to avoid matting. But how do you comb your Persian Demi-God of a cat? Well, there are a couple of considerations here: 1 - Use a slicker brush! 2- Comb in sections, progress from head to tail! 3 - Once clear of shed fur, go over the coat again 4 - Finish off by combing the cat's whole body with the narrow-toothed part of the comb Do you have a Persian cat, and how frequently do you comb it? Comment below and share some experience!

Who hasn’t woken up in the morning with a cat on their chest? Or worse - Under the chest! The animal appears to have snuck into your bed while you were sleeping. This has happened to me before, and I didn't even know that there was a kitty under my covers until I felt its little heart beating faster than mine as he tried to escape from beneath me. What does this mean, though? Well, they may be trying to tell you something about how they feel about being left alone at night. You might want to try giving them some more attention or company, so they don't have the need to sneak into your bed. Or maybe, your cat really just wants to cuddle with you and feels comfy doing so! Have you ever had this happen to you? Comment below!

Persian cats are unlike any other cat in the world. They are often considered a symbol of royalty and can be found in many households across America. Persian cats require a lot of attention and time, but if you invest in this breed of cat, you won’t regret it! However, keep in mind that Persian cats like being brushed, and even more so, they require more frequent maintenance than most cats. This is because of their naturally long hair! A Persian cat’s hair needs to be brushed daily or at least a couple of times a week! Remember - A royal cat must be treated like royalty! #persiancat #instagramcats #magnificentmeowdels #cattyland #persiancats #persiancats #persiancatlovers #persiancatsofinstagram #persiancatstagram #petoftheday

Cats are one of the most popular pets in America. They’re also among the best companions because they’re naturally affectionate and playful, but can still be content to cuddle up on your lap for hours at a time. And if you adopt a cat from a shelter, you not only save that animal from being potentially euthanized but also get an adorable friend who will love you forever, no matter what.

A microchip is a small device that's implanted by a veterinarian. The microchip is implanted underneath the animal's skin which will then mark the animal for identification purposes. Additionally, it is recommended that the cat has a collar or fabric attachment to its neck with an insertion of the chip underneath it so that if lost, the cat can be returned to his family and home. Have you microchipped your cat? Comment below!

Cats are often considered to be clean animals. However, sometimes it is possible that cats will use their litter box for a short while and then stop using it. There are a variety of reasons as to why this can happen, but the most common ones are: 1. The cat is feeling unwell and needs you to notice 2. The box is dirty, the cat wants you to clean it up! 3. The cat wants someone to play with her/him 4. The location may be of dislike for the cat 5. The cat doesn't fit well and wants a new, bigger one As a cat owner, have you dealt with this issue?

Besides time passing by, many things can happen to make your cat older, prematurely. One thing is that it might not want to eat or drink. If you notice this, talk with your vet about it. Sometimes they need medicine to help them feel better and get back to eating and drinking again, which will keep them full of life for longer. You should also clean their ears, brush their fur, get them a new toy every now and then, play with them more often than usual, give them extra snuggles when they seem sad or scared, or just because they love it so much! Other times, all your cat is going to need is some time alone to get its beauty sleep! Follow these 4 tips and your cat will be happy, even in its older years!

Cats are known for their independence. They can be very picky about what they do and don’t want to do, but there are some things that cats hate more than anything else. Cats hate water, probably as much as they hate dirty litter boxes. Cats also don’t like loud noises and sometimes they don’t like people either. They might run away from people who scare them or try to hurt them! Cats also dislike being held for too long... or too little. And sometimes something else that makes them feel sad is when someone leaves without saying goodbye first! Some cats also do not like other cats as much as you would think, so maybe that means if you are a proud owner of two cats, they might set up a battle royale while you are deep asleep. Keep your cat happy and keep it away from the things it hates! #thingscatdontlike #scaredoff #nowater nonoises #sometimesnopeople #stillacatlover #strangepets #cutepets #meowmeow #catlovers #catlife #meow #pets #kitten #kittens

Cats are not always the most obedient of pets, but they can be trained to do many things. However, there’s one annoying thing that may never happen, if you don’t know exactly how to deal with it. You guessed it - Getting your cat to stay away from the Christmas tree! To solve this problem, simply wrap your tree trunk in foil and place some citrus fruit peels around it. Most cats hate foil and citrus scent, so rest assured that in most cases, this will do the trick! Yes, cats are cute, but don’t let them ruin your decoration! #lifehacks #pets #keepingcatawayfromtree #canbetraind #thingstodealwithit #lifeofapetowner #commonproblems #foiltreetrunk #citrusfrit #scents #saveyourdecorations #petlife #catslove #cuteness

As cat owners, some things we tend to overlook could lead to the loss of our furry companion🐈 On top of the list? Not paying attention to the possibility of hairballs, not spaying or neutering which could lead to cancer, and not vaccinating/deworming.⚠ Take time to ensure that your cat has undergone all the necessary medical procedures, and the next time you wish to adopt a kitten, ensure it’s more than a month old. This significantly improves its chances of survival. Any mistakes you’ve been repeating?

You might ask why you should spay your cat, huh? Aside from the obvious, which is helping reduce the high number of cats, another vital cause is the prevention of breast and uterine infection. Worth noting, spaying or neutering a cat should be done when they turn 5 to 6 months. No need for alarm too, for they’re often under anesthesia so they don’t feel pain❌.
