    • A. 

      Lack of food

    • B. 

      Dehydration

    • C. 

      Lack of sleep

      Lack of play time

    Correct Answer
    B. Dehydration
    Explanation
    Dehydration can cause constipation in cats because it leads to the hardening of feces, making it difficult for the cat to pass stool. When a cat is dehydrated, the body tries to conserve water by absorbing it from the colon, resulting in dry and hard feces. This can lead to discomfort and difficulty in bowel movements, causing constipation. It is important to ensure that cats have access to fresh water at all times to prevent dehydration and maintain healthy digestion.

    Correct Answer
    A. It's when a cat deposits urine on a wall
    Explanation
    Cat spraying refers to the behavior of a cat depositing urine on a wall. This behavior is typically seen in unneutered male cats, although it can also occur in females and neutered males. Spraying is a way for cats to mark their territory and communicate with other cats. It is different from regular urination as the cat will typically back up to a vertical surface, raise its tail, and release a small amount of urine. This behavior is often triggered by stress, changes in the environment, or the presence of other cats.

    Correct Answer
    C. Not enough food and gastrointestinal tract disease
    Explanation
    Cats can lose weight due to a combination of not consuming enough food and gastrointestinal tract disease. Not eating enough food can lead to weight loss as the body does not receive enough nutrients and energy. Gastrointestinal tract diseases can also cause weight loss as they can affect the cat's ability to properly digest and absorb nutrients from the food they eat. Therefore, a lack of food intake and the presence of gastrointestinal tract disease can both contribute to weight loss in cats.
