Learn About Some Domestic Health Problems

Learn About Some Cat Domestic Health Problems by Judy Wellsworth

Cats are domesticated animals that do have some health problems from time to time. The cat domestic health problems arise sometimes because of no reason, and sometimes there is a specific reason. Every cat breed has different health concerns and if the pet goes outside, the health problem risks are higher. These small creatures need care and proper care to ensure a healthy and happy life.

Many Reasons for Cat Vomiting

Cats have bouts of vomiting due to hairballs, digestive tract ailments and because of consuming food to fast. If a cat has hairballs, you need to use some form of relief to help loosen the obstruction. Eating grass is one way to clear the obstruction, or a medication from the vet may be required. Cats have high stress in some cases and this causes vomiting and fatigue. The cat will show signs of depression if the health problem persists.

Some cats feel the need to eat fast, whether you have more than one cat or not, the cat may feel he needs to eat fast or not get enough. These types of cat domestic health problems usually require giving food that is readily available anytime so that cat realizes the food will always be available. When the cat eats fast, the food does not digest and comes back up soon after eating.

Cat Domestic Health Problems with Diarrhea

Cats sometimes have diarrhea, which can result from certain foods or another internal health problem. If a cat has the diarrhea for a couple days, no action is required. If the problem persists for longer, a vet needs to do some tests to determine the problem before the cat becomes dehydrated.

Sometimes changing the diet to a bland array of foods helps with the problem. Some cats might not like it or eat it, but you can try a little cooked rice mixed with cottage cheese or a potato that has been cooked and cooled. If you still have problems, it could be more serious.

Ear and Eye Cat Domestic Health Problems

Cats always stick there heads somewhere and they are prong to scratching their eyes with their own claws. If you see a problem with the eyes, you should seek out medical treatment to preserve the sight of the cat. Cats have allergies just as people do and sometimes need to have a prescribed medication to prevent watering and crusting around the eyes.

The ears are sensitive and need care in order to keep them free from parasites and infections. If cats have ear mites, they need to have a treatment to eliminate the parasite. Sometimes cat spend time outdoors, and in the cold weather, the ear tips can become frost bitten with over exposure to the freezing cold. This requires cutting the tips of ears off to protect the rest of the ear. Cat domestic health problems are minimal, but do exist in even the healthiest cat that receives love and proper care.

Buying A Bed For Cat

Buying A Bed For Your Cat by Charley Huang

Beds do not strike us as something essential for our pets sometimes, for some of us have the idea that they can sleep on any surface. However, for dogs, we tend to buy them a soft, warm basket or something that they can sleep in. Majority of the dogs will then claim the bed as a sleeping spot. On the other hands, cats do not really need a certain place to sleep. It will in fact, sleep at any place it feels like, anytime, anywhere.

Cats are hard to train to sleep in one specific spot. They will still end up sleeping in various places in your house. Furniture such as chairs, tables, sofas, or floor or any cozy nook they can curl up in and fall asleep without disturbance.

Although your pet cat likes sleeping on your couch or steps, it does not mean that it wouldn’t appreciate a nice warm bed. You can still go ahead and get your cat a bed, and perhaps it will take interest in it and somehow, enjoy sleeping in it. Although it won’t be sleeping in the bed every night, you’ll still know that the bed will become one of the many sleeping places it will visit, and cats enjoy being territorial, and owning a new bed will bring them satisfaction.

If you have seen cat trees, it is your best choice of a cat bed for your pet. It is a tall stand with a perch built at the top, where your cat can climb up onto it and sleep while everyone is below it, such as dogs that cats naturally fear. You can even connect the perch to a window sill, and your cat can nap as well as look out the window at the activities that goes on outside.

Cleanliness and hygiene is again the most important thing to look out for when getting your cat a bed. No matter what bed you decided to get, make sure that it has a removable cover that you can take out and wash regularly. Cats, like dogs, will attract bugs such as fleas, and these pests can make a home out of any fabric, especially if your cat lies there often. So make sure you remember to wash your cat’s bed often, and the other spots your cat sleep in as well to guarantee a flea-free home, one that you and your cat will both enjoy.

Kittens Getting In Trouble

Cleaning Cats Ears

How To Check And Clean Your Cats Ears by Ben Hilton

An important part of keeping your cat healthly and happy is checking and cleaning their ears. Because the ears are one of the few parts that cats can not reach themselves they need a little help from a loving owner. Keeping your cats ears clean is extremely important because any unremoved dirt, debris, or wax can clog the ears and cause infections. Regular ear cleaning at home augment’s your cats own natural grooming habits.

1. How to check the ears.

During petting, casually check your cats ears for discharge, redness, unpleasant smell, swelling, and even lumps. Also observe your cat’s behaviour, if he often scratches or paws at his ears (and sometimes even shakes his head often), then he might be feeling discomfort in the ear area. If you notice that your cats ears are becoming painful or inflamed, visit a veterinarian as soon as possible. The veterinarian has the equipment to look deep into your cat’s ear canal and give an accurate diagnosis. The veterinarian will determine if allergies, skin conditions, ear mites, bacteria, yeasts, and fungi are causing ear diseases. Seek early treatment, or your cat’s ear condition may become too late to heal.

2. How to clean the ears

Ask your veterinarian for gentle ear cleaning solutions you can use to keep your cats ears clean. These special solutions are effective in removing excess wax, moisture, and debris from your cat’s outer ear canal. Be sure to use only solutions that are specifically formulated for cats. Avoid medicated solutions, unless your veterinarian advises you to use it.

Different solutions are administered differently, but most of them require you to follow these steps.

* You typically only need a few drops of the ear solution. Squeeze the bottle and let a few drops fall on into your cat’s ear canal.

* Start massaging the base of your cats ear gently. You should hear a ‘squelch’ while you do this. Repeat the same procedure with the other ear. After both ears have been cleaned, let your cat shake its head, this loosens the waxes. NOTE: Stop massaging immediately if your cat feels pain, and then take your cat to the veterinarian if you haven't already done so.

* Wipe the solution by wrapping your forefinger with cotton wool, this should clean off wax and debris. Do this gently though and do not poke in too deep, or you might hurt your cats eardrum.

It is recommended not to use cotton buds, these can injure the ear canals’ sensitive lining.

CAT GROOMING

Cat Grooming Tips

Cats clean themselves, why should I groom them? I see my cat spending a lot of time each day licking and cleaning herself.

There are various reasons, however, why your cat still needs your grooming assistance to stay healthy and happy. Grooming accomplishes much more than just making your cat's coat look nice and shiny. It also stimulates circulation, removes loose hair, and helps prevent matting.

Regular Grooming
Regular grooming will also provide you with the opportunity to spend more "quality time" with your cat. You will also be able to check your cat closely for any problems while grooming.

Move the hair aside and examine the skin closely for signs of fleas and ticks. Check also for any unusual problems with the coat such as mats, tangles, skin irritations, etc. Learn where your pet likes to be combed and brushed, and where he or she doesn't. Cats have sensitive ears that may need to be groomed a little more gently and carefully than other areas. By paying special attention to these locations, you will help make your cat more comfortable while being groomed, and he or she will not resist future grooming sessions.

Kittens
Grooming is also important for kittens. We see cats constantly licking and grooming their kittens to help keep their coats clean. Your kitten will also need some help with his or her grooming. By starting with short grooming sessions at a young age, your kitten will become accustomed to the grooming procedure and will be less likely to resist your grooming efforts when he or she gets older. Constantly reassure your kitten in gentle tones while brushing and combing. This will, in time, make your cat accustomed to being handled and brushed. Eventually he or she will be quite comfortable and will look forward to these grooming sessions with you.

Health
Regular grooming is essential to your cat's health and wellbeing. Regular combing and brushing will keep the coat clean and healthy, stimulate the skin, and allow the natural oils to circulate to the coat. It will also help to prevent hairballs, which are the result of loose hair being picked up by the cat's tongue and then swallowed. These hairs sometimes accumulate in the cat's stomach forming hairballs which can be harmful to the cat. Grooming will also allow you to check for potentially serious problems. Check for areas of hair loss, inflammation, unusual tenderness or lumps under the skin. Constant scratching in a particular area may also be an indication of a problem. Check with your veterinarian about any unusual problems you may find.

Frequency
How often your cat needs to be groomed depends upon several factors: type and length of coat, weather conditions, time of year, etc. Generally speaking, shorthaired cats should be groomed about twice a week, while longhaired cats should be groomed daily. You will soon find the grooming frequency that provides the best results for your cat. It is important to establish and adhere to a regular grooming schedule. These sessions should be scheduled at a time that is convenient for you. Be sure that you allow time to provide proper grooming, and are not likely to be interrupted.

Combing
Comb carefully in the direction of hair growth to smooth the coat and remove any minor knots or tangles. It the coat has a particularly stubborn knot or tangle, you may have to trim it off with scissors. For longhaired cats, begin with a wide tooth comb and follow up with a fine tooth comb. To avoid injury, if your cat's coat has severe matting, consult a veterinarian or professional groomer. After combing, use a shedding blade to remove any loose or dead hair in the coat.

Brushing
Brush in the direction of hair growth with a wire slicker brush. This will help detangle any matted fur and remove dead hair and debris. After brushing the coat until it is thoroughly clean, you can follow with the cat brush. Use long, flowing strokes to bring out the beautiful luster of your cat's coat. A grooming glove can also be used after brushing. It will remove any remaining debris, massage the skin and distribute your cat's natural oils resulting in a shiny, healthy coat.

Nail Trimming
Regular nail trimming is important to your cat's health and well being. Never use ordinary scissors to trim your cat's nails; they may injure the cat. Use trimmers that are specifically designed for cats. Hold the paw firmly and squeeze the paw at the base of the nail. This will cause the nail to protrude. Cutoff the tips of the nail with a single stroke, being careful to stop short of the quick, the blood vessel inside the nail. (Cutting into the quick will hurt your cat and cause some bleeding.) Follow up with the nail file, filing toward the tip to smooth the cut edge.

Dental Care
When most people think about grooming their pet, they tend to think about their kitty's teeth last. The fact is, more than 85% of dogs and cats older than four years have periodontal disease. To prevent tartar buildup and keep your pet's gums healthy, make sure you pick up either a special cat toothbrush and toothpaste or dental wipes, and use them to clean his or her teeth regularly. Having your pet's teeth professionally cleaned by his or her veterinarian on a regular basis is also a good idea.
