Question

If I see a cat from the window and want it to jump into my garden, how do I do it?

Community Answer

Place a treat for the cat. If you are a non-vegetarian, then you'd probably have some fish. Keep it on a steady ground, first making sure that there are no other animals nearby who eat fish. Don't make much noise, don't make any sudden movements, and don't try to pick it up instantly; let it come to you. If you are a vegetarian, a bowl of milk will do the trick, too.

Question

Do cats have rabies?

Community Answer

Some cats have rabies, most do not. If it is a domestic cat that is someone's pet, it's probably received vaccinations to prevent rabies. If it is a stray or feral cat, there is not way to know. Don't try to approach random cats you do not know.

Question

Do cats like dark places?

CATHLEEN FLORCZAK

Community Answer

Yes, they do like dark places. This is because cats want to feel safe, so they hide in small, dark spaces to hide from predators. Then the same instincts come out when in a room with multiple people, and they go to a dark space to hide.

Question

How can I get my neighbours cat to like me?

Community Answer

Try method 2: Don’t make loud noises in the same room as a cat, allow the cat to come to you, speak in a calm voice, pet the cat slowly and watch its body language and give the cat treats after good behavior.

Question

If you caught a cat, would it be a bad idea to keep it without your parents finding out?

CATHLEEN FLORCZAK

Community Answer

Yes, because unless you have a cat as a pet, they would get confused about you buying cat food and cat litter, and they would eventually find out.

Question

How do you make your cat eat?

Mikaela

Community Answer

Loss of appetite in cats is usually the result of a health or behavioral/emotional problem, such as various parasites and/or illnesses, depression or change. If you have recently done something that either offends your cat or makes them feel uncomfortable, let them cool off for a bit. Then you can try to feed it a little bit of its favorite treat or cat food.
