Cat Talk

Do you want to know what your cat is saying? If you do read this! If a cat rolls on his or hers back that means it feels safe with you. If a cat wags it's tail side to side not softly leave it alone it might be angry. If a cat partly closes it's eyes it means it feels happy. If a cat looks at you and meows it means it wants something. A cat in danger curves up it's back to look bigger and scare away the enemy.

Health

If you want your cat to be healthy and healthy you should have a vet.Be sure to check your cat's gums.If your cat's gums are yellow,blue,white,pale,or red than you should see a vet.Check if your cat is dehydrated.Pinch your cat's skin and let go and if it doesn't snap right back that means your cat is dehydrated.A indoor cat usually lives longer than a outdoor cat.

Grooming


If you have a long hair cat you should groom daily.Shorthair cats also loved to be groomed and so do long haired cats.Long haired cats should be bathed once a month and shorthair cats only when they are dirty or never.but you can still bathe a shorthair cat when you want to.When you're clipping make sure your cat is comfortable when you trim your cat's nails.Make sure you don't cut the quick. the quick is the pink part of your cat's nails.
