Dr. Jody Hilditch answers questions from members of Our Member Club about your lovely cats.

 

 

  Help! My cat's behavior is driving me crazy! How can I train my cat?

DON'T GIVE UP ON YOUR PET AND GIVE YOUR PET UP!

You can either feed specific meals, throwing away any leftover canned food after 30 minutes, or keep dry food available at all times.

  How can I train my kitten to play?

Please don't use your hands or fingers as play objects with kittens. This type of rough play may cause biting and scratching behaviors to develop as your kitten matures.

  What should I do if my cat has flea infestation?

Flea infestation should be taken seriously. These tiny parasites feed off of your pet, transmit tapeworms and irritate the skin. Carefully check your cat once a week for fleas and ticks. If there are fleas on your cat, there will be fleas in your house. You may need to use flea bombs or premise-control sprays, and be sure to treat all animals in your house.

  What virus will infect cats?

This is one of the two immune system viruses (retroviruses) that infect cats. The other is feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). There is no vaccine available for FIV. Cats can be infected with either virus for months, even years, without any indication that they are carrying a fatal virus. All cats should be tested for these viruses.
