Question
HI MY FRIENDS CAT DIED BUT SHE HAS HER BABY STILL SHOULD I BUY HER A NOTHER CAT JUST TO BY NICE.:FROM KATHLEEN

Answer
Hi Kathleen,

I am sorry to hear your friend's cat died. I don't think it is a good idea to give  a cat to someone else, especially if they are grieving. If she is meant to have another cat, she will find one herself. If the kitten is not spayed yet, you can tell your friend about http://www.spayusa.com where she can find low cost spay services in her area, kittens should be spayed or neutered at 6 weeks of age, as long as they are healthy.

Expertise

I can answer questions on: cat nutrition and diet, behavior, behavior problems, training, general health, socialization/taming feral cats, TVAR, trapping feral cats, feline nutrition, and cat care. My favorite questions are on the topic of nutrition and I have special experience with hyperthyroidism in cats. Please do NOT ask me if you should take your cat to the vet - if you have any reason to suspect your cat is ill or injured please call your vet immediately!
