BODY

Inevitably, cats come with certain features. Their claws are one of them. There is the possibility to remove them surgically, which, luckily, is prohibited in Europe. When encountering such a cat, even an amateur will recognize that these animals are not moving naturally, which is a result of this procedure and will affect the whole locomotor system. Thus, this procedure is flagged as animal cruelty and no cat owner loving his or her little ball of fur would ever do something like that. Above that, cats are capable of retracting their claws but this only counts for the claws of the front paws.

The next feature would be the teeth. Even though significantly smaller than their relatives roaming the savannah, the function remains quite the same. Cats do not depend on killing with the first bite. Their saliva contains a cocktail of bacteria that will cause a painful infection. Thus, you should not mess with your little tiger.

Cats change their fur depending on the hours of sunlight per day. Meaning, in addition to the normal loss of hair, cats will completely change their coat twice a year. Once around spring and once around autumn. During this time there will be a higher amount of cat hair to be cleaned. To brush and comb would be a way to facilitate the change of fur. Still the cat will swallow more hair during this time and therefore, there will be more vomiting, which is a necessary function for cats, otherwise it can result in grave health issues.
