Can I give my cat some ibuprofen or tylenol?

My cat has a leg that’s a bit swollen I think from a bee sting.

What happens when a cat eats / gets stung by a bee?

Hi!
We have a cat (Just got 1 year old) that loves to chase bugs… Now the summer has come, and so have the bees, which she attacks now as well.

What can happen to her if she eats a bee, or gets stung by one?

I think my cat got stung by a bee. What do I need to do?

Why do they call it “cat calls and wolf whistles”?Why do we refer to them this way? Where did it all begin?

i had read an earlier answer about how we use descriptions of animals’ behavior to apply to humans. i’ll check back and see if i can find it…

well of course i can’t now. if i recall the gist of it was that we lump some of our ‘worst’ behaviors along with animals… so you get a ‘wolf whistle’, or a person or a movie is a ‘real dog’, or someone is ‘crazy like a fox’. some positive behaviors can be ascribed too, ‘proud as a peacock’ or ‘busy as a bee’. perhaps these phrases are just an extension of the days when we assigned human characteristics to the animal world.

How come every time I sneeze my cat runs for her life ?

Even if I am sniffling like I am about to sneeze she does a bee line & hides under the bed or couch.
