Cat Chat

Here are some insights into the world of cats and kittens.

Shur Rescue recommends a gradual introduction when you bring a new cat into your home. Start by separating the cats into different rooms for a few days to a week. If you don’t witness any signs of aggression, let the cats see each other with a barrier (screen or gate) between them. Next, let them be together and watch the way they interact. Provide treats at every step in the process to create a positive experience. It may take several weeks or months for cats to adjust so be patient.

Kittens can be spayed or neutered as young as 6-8 weeks old, when they weigh at least 2 pounds. However, it’s common for a kitten to be 4-6 months old before the surgery. Consult your veterinarian to determine what’s best for your kitten.

TNR stands for Trap-Neuter-Return or Trap-Neuter-Release. It is a way to manage the feral cat population. (Feral cats typically aren’t well-suited for adoption.) Cats are trapped, sterilized and vaccinated, and then returned to the place where they were caught. Shur Rescue assists with TNR by offering traps and referrals to spay/neuter service providers.

Fun Facts About Cats

We hope you enjoy these Fun Facts About Cats

Cats have 18 toes

On their front paws, they have five toes. On their back paws, only four.

Cats live long lives

Cats live to about 12 years, which equates to 64 human years.

Cats grow old faster than we do

A cat’s first year correlates to about 15 years for a human. Their second year equals about nine human years. Every year after that is about 4 cat years to 1 human year.

Cats come in all sizes

Maine Coon is the largest cat breed, and Singapura is the smallest.

Cats can have 100-200 kittens in a lifetime

Cats can have as many as 12 kittens in one litter, with multiple litters in a year. Shur Rescue encourages pet owners to spay and neuter their cats to help manage the cat population.

Cats land on their feet almost every time

Cats are born with a “righting reflex” that enables them to rotate mid-air to land on their feet. They are incredibly flexible and can quickly sense their body position in the air when falling.
