Summary: Cats have been domesticated pets for centuries, providing companionship to people as far back as 9,500 years ago. Despite the stereotype of cats as solitary animals with no need for human presence, many cats have a very social relationship with their owners, providing and receiving affection on many levels. In fact, some people suggest that human owners provide a sort of surrogate mother figure for cats and kittens, and that adult domesticated cats live in a sort of extended kittenhood. In this free video on pet care, a veterinarian discusses several tips for caring for a cat's health. Learn about the importance of getting a cat spayed or neutered and to reduce the overpopulation of stray animals. Also, get tips on treating cat diseases, like irritable bowel syndrome, bladder infections and feline acne.
