Litter, indoor life, high-rise safety, kittens and community cats.
Each answer starts with the short version, then explains it with the sources behind every fact and the date they were checked. Where a guide or tool goes deeper, the answer links to it.
7 questions answered
- Can my kitten survive panleukopenia? Some do, with fast, intensive vet care. The odds, what helps, and how to protect your other cats.
- Can a Persian cat live without AC in India? Yes, if it always has a genuinely cool room. What heat does to a flat-faced, long-coated cat, and a plan.
- Why is my cat peeing outside the litter box? Often a urinary problem, stress or a tray the cat dislikes. Straining in the tray is an emergency.
- How do I cat-proof a balcony in a high-rise flat? Why cats fall from balconies and windows, how to close every gap, and what to do if your cat falls.
- What do I feed a newborn kitten without its mother? Kitten milk replacer, never cow's milk; warmth before food; and why a vet should see the kitten today.
- How do I litter train a kitten? A low tray, soft unscented litter, one quiet room to start, and a visit to the tray after naps and meals.
- When should I spay my female cat? Why vets now advise spaying at about four months, before the first heat, and what to ask your vet.
