    Do you have a cat run?

    Something I have never had for any of my cats but I do know that they are available are cat runs. This allows your cat to run free and play in an area that is safe for them rather than them being in the way and possibly getting hurt if someone does not see them when they are playing. Have you...

    Have you ever had a cat that was infertile?

    Much like humans, you may find that cats can also be infertile which means they are not able to have kittens. This is often sad for the cat and also for the owners if they wanted to allow their cat to have kittens but it is something that happens. Have you ever had a cat that was infertile?

    Should the spaying and neutering of cats be made mandatory?

    Something I have noticed which is not at the moment mandatory is the fact that cats can be owned and not spayed or neutered. As much as I understand that some people do wish to allow their cats to have kittens, some people do it to make money and not care about the health of the mother cat or...

    Thoughts on those who breed cats just to sell them?

    Something I have noticed and am completely against as it causes so many cats to be left abandoned by people doing this is breeding cats just to sell them to make money. I remember my brother used to have a girlfriend that used to do exactly this, this was how we got Smokey when she was a...

    Losing kittens at birth

    Many people tend to get their female cats spayed to prevent pregnancies but we still get a few odd people who will allow their female cat to have babies before preventing them from doing so in the future. When it comes to a female cat having babies, it is possible that all kittens will survive...

    Do you have a cat shelter outside for stray cats?

    That is awesome that you did that for stray cats. Some people wouldn't even think twice about it which is a shame. We do have many around where I live and that helps a lot as we seem to see a lot of stray cats where I live.

    Have you known your cats to eat fleas?

    This is something I have only just noticed recently with a neighbour's cat who recently had fleas, he would manage to get a flea when he was washing and it would jump and land on a surface he was near and he would spot it and then eat it. Is this something that is normal for a cat to do? Have...

    Have others fed your cat?

    This does not always happen but sometimes, people will see a cat and instantly assume by how it acts that it may be hungry and they tend to feed the cat. This can sometimes confuse the cat and can make it so they do not eat at home or stay out for longer periods away from the home as well...

    Have you ever had a cat that rejected a kitten?

    If you have had a cat that has had kittens or you know someone with a cat that has had kittens, you will know that sometimes a cat will reject a kitten and other times it does not happen and they accept all the kittens they gave birth to.

    Are you someone who likes to have cats but hates them on the bed?

    Whenever I have had a cat, I have always allowed them on the bed unless of course, we were having issues with fleas and it would have been better if they were not on my bed. I have known people though to have cats and not allow them on the bed or even upstairs at all. Whilst this is something...

    Has your cat ever had an accident on your bed?

    Something I don't believe I have any known a cat to do that I have had is have an accident on my bed. They were always able to make it to their litter tray and no accidents occurred. Of course, this can sometimes happen to cats if they are upset, worried, anxious or even scared and sometimes it...

    Is your cat a bit of a troublemaker?

    Some cats are known to get on with other cats in the neighbourhood but you will also find that there will be one cat that can end up being a bit of a trouble-maker and that can cause issues for the cats in the area. I found Smokey was a bit of a trouble-maker when she was with us, she would...

    Does your cat ever get aggressive when they play?

    Something I noticed, not with all cats but with some cats is how they can get a little too much and sometimes become aggressive when they play. Smokey was never aggressive when she played but other cats we have had in the past were a little aggressive when they got a little too excited when...

    Have you ever had a cat that will only eat dry food?

    Any cats that I have taken care of always seemed to eat wet food and dry food and I can't say that I have ever come across a cat that would refuse wet food and only eat dry food. Have you ever had a cat that will only eat dry food? Did you try and entice them to eat wet food?

    Has your cat ever coughed up something unusual?

    Whenever we have had cats the only thing I remember them ever coughing up was furballs but I can not recall anything else they ever coughed up that would have been unusual. Has your cat ever coughed up something unusual? Did you manage to find out what it was?

    Do you have a cat shelter outside for stray cats?

    Something I have noticed that is becoming more popular is how people leave a shelter outside for stray cats in the area so they have somewhere to go when the weather is bad or even during the cold winter months. I myself would love to have a shelter for stray cats but being able to make one is...

    Do you feed feral cats?

    I know of people that tend to leave food outside for feral cats and in some cases it's foxes tend to get the food as well if you get them around the area. I myself don't tend to leave food out for feral cats as when I tried once, the cats in the neighbourhood were eating it instead so it...

    Much like my houseplant topic asking which houseplants are dangerous for cats, I also know that there are some outdoor flowers that can be dangerous for cats as well from what I understand. Which garden flowers are ones that you should avoid if you have a cat?

    Something I remember my mum telling me is how some houseplants are unsafe for cats but I can not for the life of me remember which ones she said. Do you know of any houseplants that are unsafe for cats that should be avoided?

    Have you ever known other cats to use your catflap?

    Due to us not being able to have a cat flap for Smokey when she was around we never had an issue where other cats used the cat flap but my mum used to have an issue before she moved to a self-locking catflap where a cat that is feral and comes around the area would come in through the cat flap...
