Here are my answers:
1. Do only male cats spray or do females do that too?
*****Mostly males spray, but some females do also!
2. Does nutering/spaying them take care of that problem?
*****Again, there are exceptions!
3. Do cats shed alot?
*****Depends on the breed of cat. I currently have a Russian Blue and she does not shed and is great for people who have allergies.
4. On average for a healthy cat, how much does it cost to get their annual shots and check up?
******Again, depends on your location. Usually under $100 CDN.
5. Dogs go on Heartworm Meds every month, is there something that Cats have to take every month to prevent something?
******Unless there is an ongoing illness, or fleas, then the answer is no.
6. On average, how much worth of food does a cat consume per month? (I am not sure what brands are the best, but they would be interested in giving it the price equivalence of Nutro or Eukanuba)
******My cat usually consumes approx. $20 (I feed Royal Canin and some wet food for a treat.) But, my cat is very small and will only weigh 5 pounds at adulthood! So expect to pay more!
7. Do cats claw at furniture, bedding, etc... because they are bored?
******NO! It is their natural instinct to claw because they are releasing their scent (territorial), stretching, and helping to 'shed' their claws.
8. How easy is it to train your cat to use the litterbox?
******Depends on the age of the cat, but fairly easy if it is trained consistently. The younger the cat, the easier it is.
Remember, that cats are very attached to their environment. So they can become tempermental (ie: not using litterbox) when this environment has a sudden change. Cats like routine and clean litterboxes!
