Some websites/companies recognize more than others, so it is hard to pinpoint an exact number. There are also some experimental breeds that go unrecognized, so you could say there are anywhere from 40-100 breeds of cats! But because all cats are bred similarly, there is plenty of debate over a new breed, is it really a new breed or a newer version of an old one. ]]> 2021-10-28 14:48:10 UTC https://padlet.com/s60261/moi58t4w5h2w0yv4/wish/1851574445 s60261 https://padlet.com/s60261/moi58t4w5h2w0yv4/wish/1851615610 Caring for a cat is much easier than caring for a dog, but there is still work you must do. Minimally, you need to do these things:
1:Feed your cat wet food daily, & dry food semi-daily, or whenever nessicary. 
2: Clean out your cat's litter box daily/semi-daily.
3: Keep (a) full water bowl/bowls in your house for your cat. 
4: Give your cat plenty of attention, love & snuggles! If your cat is not one of those types, make sure it is still happy, at the very least. 
5: Watch out for it! If your cat is an indoor cat, make sure she/he does NOT get out. They will not be used to outdoors and may run away permanently!
If your cat is an outdoor cat, do not declaw it! It needs its claws to survive outdoors. Overall, do not declaw your cat unless you feel it is absolutly nessicary on an indoor cat. 
6: Take them to the vet! For shots, medication, and check-ups. If your cat is ever sick, ask your Vetrinarian what to do! 
7:  I am sure your cat would love a nice warm bed/blanket/pillow all for their own too! 

I know this looks & sounds like a lot, but is really not, ecspecially compared to what you have to do for a dog! ]]> 2021-10-28 15:00:07 UTC https://padlet.com/s60261/moi58t4w5h2w0yv4/wish/1851615610 s60261 https://padlet.com/s60261/moi58t4w5h2w0yv4/wish/1851638068 Under Eight weeks old, your kitten should still be with her mother & siblings. They need the body heat of the others to survive, still are developing vision & leg coordination, and still feed off of their mother. 
By 8-11 weeks old, your kitten should be eating a healthy diet of kitten food, high in protein. Your kitten will also become much more playful & bubbly. ]
2-4 Months of age: Your kitten should grow rapidly during this point, therefore needing 3-4 meals in a day. 
4-6 Months of age: If avoiding certain things, get your kitten spayed/neutered before this age. 

With a kitten, make preventative care a priority, getting them vaccinated with medical attention from a professional Vetrinatrinarian]]> 2021-10-28 15:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/s60261/moi58t4w5h2w0yv4/wish/1851638068 s60261 https://padlet.com/s60261/moi58t4w5h2w0yv4/wish/1854121973 Cats have many special abilities that humans do not. Here are some of them. 
1: A very good sense of smell. Cats have organs in their mouths that let them taste what they smell. Cats sense of smell is so good, they use their noses to identify mates, enemies, people, and other cats' territories
2: Special Whiskers. Cats' Whiskers are rooted deeper than ordinary hairs and are super sensitive. So sensitive, they can detect movement without even touching the object! They can use these to check for signs of life in prey, and measure spaces to decide if they can fit through them. 
3: Quick Feet. Some cat breeds can reach speeds of around 30 miles per hour over short distances! When they shimmy their legs, they are testing if they can make a jump, and how sturdy the takeoff area is. 
4: Tails. These tails not only tell others what the mood of a cat is, but they also help the cat balance when perching, climbing, make sharp turns. & more. 
5: Super-Hearing! Cats' ears can pick up sounds and movements five times farther than humans can, and pinpoint the location. 
6: Far-Sighted Focus. If you have a cat, you will notice that they paw the water bowl before drinking, and may not see food right under their nose. They have a hard time focusing on closer, unmoving objects, and instead can see movements & objects further away much better. 
7: Rough Tongue. Why does your cat's tongue feel so much like sandpaper? Their tongues are like that to help them groom themselves, which calms them & relieves anxiety. 
8: Flexibility. Their spine lets them groom almost their entire body, it's so flexible. Frequent standing, arching, & stretching helps it keep it that way, and the narrow chest & lack of true collarbone help cats squeeze through tiny spaces. 
9: Paws: The pad of the paw is thicker than any other skin. The paw pads serve as brakes & shock absorbers for the cats. ]]> 2021-10-29 14:45:50 UTC https://padlet.com/s60261/moi58t4w5h2w0yv4/wish/1854121973
