The main reason I discourage feeding cats "people food" is that there are a number of foods that are toxic to cats. You may have forgotten that the gravy slathered over your Thanksgiving turkey used broth that was flavored with onion, among other things. While it is tasty and harmless to humans, onions are very toxic to cats.

Although telling the sex of an adult cat is relatively easy, kittens are harder to determine. It will be very difficult to accurately tell the sex of a kitten until it is at least two weeks old, and even then, both experienced breeders and veterinarians have been known to make mistakes.

Siamese cats are one of several pointed cat breeds, and are among one of the oldest and most popular cat breeds. Known affectionately as "Meezers," it's no wonder so many people exclaim, "Make mine Siamese, if you please."

Unless you show your cats regularly, or have one of the high maintenance breeds, you will rarely have to bathe your cat. Using its tongue, teeth, and claws, a cat does a remarkably expert job of bathing itself.

However, the time may come that kitty has gotten exceptionally dirty, and will need your help getting clean again.

One of the top reasons cats avoid using the litter box is that it isn't clean enough for their fastidious sense of scent. Keeping a litter box scrupulously clean is important. Clumping litter has made it easier to scoop out waste at least twice daily. However, litter boxes still need a regular thorough cleaning, then refilling with new litter. The time span between these chores will vary, depending on the type of litter and the number of cats using the box.
