we are not allowed to do homework questions for you. You can find all of this stuff on sites like cats.com, about.com etc.

QUESTION: sorry but its not for homework its for 4h and i need some help with it. because we have cats but never take them to the vet so i need some help with the questions i asked earlier if u can. i may have more but thank you

Answer
You never take your cats to the vet? If you are in 4H then you should do a project on owner responsibility and what it means to own a pet. Like getting them spayed so that they don't have kittens, getting them vaccinated for contagious and fatal diseases like distemper, leukemia, FIP, FIV and rabies.

Maybe you should do your project on that and then share it with your parents too.

Cats pretty much exercise when they feel like it. Most of the time they sleep, just like their cousins lions do. A cat should be fed good quality food according to its weight so that it doesn't get overweight.

I will not talk about a cat having kittens because I am totally against more unwanted kittens being brought into this world. Anyone that doesn't get their cats and dogs spayed and neutered is not being a responsible pet owner, period.

The 4H leaders should have told you that already. That is about all I can help you with Megan.
Homework is homework, whether it is for school or 4H.
Good luck with your project!
