Feline Behavioral Problems

Feline Problems Of Our Fuzzy Friends From The Cat World

The word feline is synonymous with grace, agility, beauty, and aloofness. A perfect description of the beautiful cat. Why are we so drawn to them? Is it because we admire their qualities? I believe we are intrigued with them and willing to put up with any cat problems they bring because, though they may enjoy our company, the truth is, we are not their first priority! They are their first priority, and we find that quality admirable is an odd sort of way. Maybe because we humans are called selfish when we put ourselves first, but we secretly always want to!

Well the truth is we love our cats and we are their servants, at least in their minds, and I don't think we're going to change it any time soon, so best to just surrender!

So as the servant of the cat we must pay attention to all of their needs. First and foremost any feline health problems that arise.

*Urinary problems

*Feline breathing problems, causes and solutions

*Feline skin problems

*Canine problems - just kidding! However dogs can be a problem for cats!

Besides common health issues, you may find instances of cat problems arising such as biting or scratching, the desire to bring dead rodents or birds into the house, and the sometimes demanding not stop loud meowing, and complaining that some feline fuzzys engage in. It helps in each instance to try to peer into the cats psyche and see why they would do what they're doing.

A cat who is complaining loudly and following you around to do it, has an issue. Perhaps he hates his food and is hungry. Perhaps he feels neglected and needs pets. Cat's are not like dogs, who will just put up with it. Remember, in their brains we are here to serve them!

House cat problems can be a real challenge, but when understood, perhaps you can begin to feel the love. When your house cat becomes an "out" cat and brings you a prize, that juicy dead mouse or bird...well, to us it's gross! To him, it's probably the greatest gift he could give you and you should feel honored.

Biting and scratching must be looked at closely. Is he biting our of fear or is he playing? These are very different reactions and must be handled in a careful and understanding way. Playing? Squirt bottle. Fear? Rehabilitation.

Feline problems are most always solvable, don't despair! Just remember...Cats are NOT dogs!

Feline Behavior Problems

Should I keep my cat that has Feline Leukemia ?

I adopted my cat about two years ago when she was about 3 months old. She did not receive the vaccine for Feline Leukemia because she was to be a strictly indoors cat. She escaped one day and didn't come back until the next day with bite marks, she had gotten into a fight with another cat. At her check up we discovered that she has feline leukemia. About a month after her diagnosis she has had some terrible behavior issues. She is no longer affectionate and wants to simply be left alone ( i can only assume its because she might be in pain). She eats well and has a healthy fur coat the only real vi sable sign that she might not be doing well is that her gums and toung are almost white. My problem is that she has become unfriendly to my children as to where they are use to her loving them and she loves to scratch my furniture. I can not just give her to the humane society because she has feline leukemia and I don't know any one who will take her. Should I put her to sleep?

That's a really tough one. Feline leukemia is such a horrible disease and to this day I wonder if I did the right thing caring for my cats until the end. I cared for two cats with feline leukemia. There was times when they did better and it is my understanding that feline leukemia can go into remission. I know that some cats can have it and never show any symptoms. I think I hung on to this hope.
20/20 hindsight I think the one cat was in pain more than I realized while the other showed no symptoms other than the white gums. Neither cat lived a full live. I think now that I probably should have put down the cat who was in pain. Your cat shows some symptoms and aggression which indicates he is already in pain. In the end he will probably come down with an infection his body will not be able to fight. Both of my cats had beautiful coats to the end despite of being very sick.
If you think he is suffering I think you should put him down but only you can make that decision when the time will be right.
You also have 2 small children to think about and I do not know if your children are old enough to understand and get used to the fact that the kitty is not feeling well and does not want to be loved.
The humane society will not take a cat with feline leukemia just because it will pose a risk to all the other cats sheltered there. Your vet will probably advise you to put the cat to sleep as well.
My heart goes out to you.
