I think i like to write more about cats now for you guys to have something to learn about them that may help you as a cat owner.

Unlike people, cats cannot explain their emotion, their sickness and their needs. This is why you sometimes might notice different behaviours from your cat. To keep your cats safe, here are the things you need to learn in your cat's behaviour.

  • Noticeable change in the gum color. The normal and common gums for cats and dogs is pink. So if one day you woke up and notice that your cat's gum color is far from being pink then it might indicate that it is suffering from high fever, loss of blood, some sort of infection or lack of oxygen. But before you take it to the vet make sure that the change in the gum color are not related to any kind of food you have been feeding your cat lately.

  • Staring at the wall. Before you think it is an emergency, check if there is some kind of insect or something stuck to the wall that is bothering your cat but if there is none of these things then try to call your cat by its name or try to give it a command if it did not respond or kept looking towards the wall then it may be warning sign that your cat has some serious problem.

  • Hardly breathing. Breathing problems can be another warning that your cat is crying for help. So if your cat is breathing so fast than usual with its mouth open then this is emergency that requires taking it immediately to the vet. The rapid breathing can be attached to heart problems or liquid in the chest. Yes it is normal if the rapid breathing comes after a hard working or an exercise of running but if it is staying home all day with no action but keeps breathing rapidly then this is the issue we are talking about that needs to make a vet visit.

  • Sudden aggressive behaviours. If your cat is somehow acting so aggressive even though you did not push or kick it, that means the poor cat is suffering from pain and you did not notice that before. So it is kind of a way to tell you that it is suffering from dental issue, an injury arthritis, or an infection that change its mood suddenly.

  • Losing appetite. The very common thing among cats is ther desire to eat more so if you are cooking they should be somewhere around you trying to steal a piece or meowing for one gently. In case your cat is not there when the table is ready or they seem like it does not care then you should change your cat's food because it seems like it does not like it anymore but if that did not work then you should call the vet because that may be another sign that your pet is suffering in silence from a disease or a tumor or an infection.

  • Changes in drinking habit. If you used to give your cat sa wet food then do not worry if you notice that your cat is not drinking enough water because simply your cat is getting an important percentage of water from that wet food. On the other hand if the main food is dry food but your cat still does not drink water enough this may be a serious problem such as diabetes or kidney disease that may need to make a call to the vet but before you do that make sure to check if there is any water leakage on your house that provides a source of water for your cat.

  • Always hiding. The normal thing is that your cat runs towards you everytime you come back from work begging you to play with it since they are bored sitting there all day long but what if the cat is hiding from you instead of playing with you, this can be related to some sort of stress or it did not get used to something you brought new to the house. So make sure that everything you brought lately is fine, if it keeps hiding then you may need to take the cat to the vet because it may be sa serious problem there.

Probably more ideas about cat i want to share with you guys. I am thankful for everyone that have taken time to read. Meow!!!
