Cat Care Quiz: Test your Knowledge of Cats and Their Care
Monday October 29, 2007
Most cat lovers want to give their cats the very best care. With this fact in mind, your knowledge about cats' needs plays a large part in the kind of care you may actually be giving them. This quiz is a followup to several articles on the About Cats site, including the free email class on cat care. Links to these resources are included below. You can either do your homework first, or take the quiz from scratch, then bone up on those areas you may have missed. You may choose your own difficulty level for this quiz, depending on the number of questions you wish to answer. Please choose the MOST CORRECT answer for each question. Have fun with it, and don't forget to cuddle your cat when you've finished!

Love the quiz, Franny, but need to quibble about a couple of the questions. #11, both B & D would be correct, but there is not an option for both, so if you choose B, it is incorrect. And #8 gives an you an “incorrect” if you choose D, cats should be kept indoors only.
Regarding what should be avoided in cat foods – meat-by-products are by far preferably to ingredients such as corn, blueberries, cranberries, carrots, rice and other vegetable type matter found in cat foods. Dr. Elizabeth Hodgkins has a wonderful website – your diabetic cat.com which details how those ingredients greatly contribute to diabetes with their high carbohydrate content. She argues that items such as spleen, lung, etc. are much healthier and natural for a cat to eat than carrots, corn, etc. My cat (male, 9 years old) became diabetic, and by following her regimen, he now eats only canned food and has to take no insulin shots. His dry food (science diet) was making him diabetic.
