Is catnip safe for cats?

I was asking myself the same question when I saw my cat's reaction to catnip. She loves the stuff, but I was a little concerned that it could be addictive or harmful. After doing some research I found an article on Friendly Claws that discussed catnip at full length. It was useful to find out that catnip can be used to encourage cats to scratch their own posts as opposed to furniture!

It also mentioned that catnip is completely safe and not at all harmful to cats. It's not like a **** or anything, it's just a plant from the mint family that cats have a strange reaction to. As far as I can tell, there's nothing much to worry about when it comes to catnip. According to the article I read, some cats are not even affected by catnip so it's probably not as potent as it may seem.

My cat is 13 years old and has been pawing at her left eye. I noticed a small amount of discharge in the corner of her eye. What can I do to help her?

Most likely there is a foreign object in the eye or perhaps it is an insect bite or sting and maybe the beginning of an infection - if the problem isn't visible you should not try and treat it yourself but take your cat to the vet.

An animal shelter has 44 dogs and 54 cats. Then, 13 of these animals get placed in new homes. How many animals are left at the shelter?

44 dogs + 54 cats = 98 animals
13 animals find homes
Animals left = 98 animals - 13 animals
animals left = 85

The difficulty is recognising animals can be cats or dogs
it is kind of a trick question where if you focus on cats or dogs and wonder how am I going to work out how many cats left or how many dogs left it does not matter as the key is animals left rather than particular animal species left like how many dogs are left or how many cats are left. It did not ask for species left but a broad term animals left.

Can I purchase new scratching posts replace old ones on a whisker city cat tree.

I re-roped my scratching post. Get 3/8 sisal rope. The hardest part was getting the post off the base and wrapping the rope tight. You will need a staple gun. Round staples are best but I think you can work with flat ones. Only use them at the ends and bury them well.

What's more expensive, cat food or dog food?

Cat food is easily more expensive than dog food, due to dogs being biologically capable of processing vegetable proteins whereas cats cannot. This means cat food SHOULD only contain animal protein and is thus more expensive.

My cat is sweet calm and has never hissed but has now hissed twice at my one yr old grandson for just being in the same room

Maybe jealousy. I fix jealousy by catching my cat when it does stuff like that and giving it several kisses. For my cat, kissing has worked for years and works every time.
