What characteristics and features do you look at to tell the difference between what breed a cat is and isn't? And how many breeds of cats are there?

yesterday after noon, my friend was pulling out of our drive way and ran over our 5month old bengal cat who was playing in the bush next to our drive way.
Our cat and her car were both on our property when it happened and the cat was rushed to the animal hospital and is doing ok. She has several facial problems and is losing alot of blood but therwise is doing well. there is a slight chance she may need an operation and/or suffer mental deformaties. I love this cat as if she is my baby and cannot part with her. The vet bill was already reached beyond what we can afford (what will a new house morgage and 2 kids- on benefits).

Anyway so back to the queastion...my friend wont pay for it even though she ran her over...what is the law here? Is she legally obliged to pay for medical expenses? Does it make a difference as to whether it happened on our property or council property? Should she at least have to pay half the expenses?
any answers are very appreciated - thanks

my 3 1/2 yr old female cat has lot her hair. She is a black long haird fixed female. She is an inside cat with no possible way to get fleas.
about a month or so ago she lost a wide long strip of hair from the mid of her back to her tail. it looked like someone took a BIG razor ( about 3 inches wide) to her. I dismissed it and kept an eye on it because my other cat and her play rough and that is generally the area of attack. lol Well, anyways it is going back now but it is still very noticable. her hair is 3-4 inches long and the new hair is only about an inch.
She has shown no signs of disease, she eats adn drinks and play like normal. The spot was just bald no scratches or redness or anything. But now i can't help but wondered what caused it.

Around that time we got a new dog..not the first dog she lived with and not the first time for that breed of dog. Do you think it was the stress of a new dog? or is there possible something else wrong with my baby? and dont just say vet

So, Mimzy McMegaClaws (female siamese mix) got spayed yesterday. Her brother Charles Windsor Goldsmith the Second (male siamese mix) got neutered a week and a half ago. Charles came home and scarfed some food and was ready to play. Mimzy was very kind to him.

NOW, poor Mimzy has an elizabethan collar (cone) on her head and Charles is following her around the house taunting her. As if she doesn't feel ridiculous enough with a cone on her head, her brother has to chase her around sniffing her hiney and growling and hissing. She's being a sweety, but he is being a total butthead. I took the collar off so I could scratch her ears and let her eat some food (watching carefully that she doesn't mess with her stitches) without maneuvering around the collar.... and he STILL growls. She smells like the vet and I know he'll settle down in a few days. It's just.... poor Mimzy! She just curls up in the hallway blinking at him while he growls at her. At least he's not trying to mount!!!

My cat, 6 yrs old, could possibly have kidney failure (it might be a bladder infection but I won't find out for another 2 weeks after antibiotics); he's still energetic and doesn't show any signs of illness. Ironically I have kidney disease as well and am using natural remedies like dandelion root tea and other herbs. Wheatgrass has also improved my health a lot. I am wondering these herbs would apply to cats as well?

Does anyone have any suggestions for diet (should it be homemade)? I've been doing research and they all say low salt, but some sites say good high quality protein while others say low protein. And should I stop using the chemical Frontline (flea medicine) on my cat?

Also, where on my cat are his kidneys located?

Thanks!

My 16 year old cat has cancer, and I have to euthanise him very soon. I'm trying to figure out how to handle this with regards to my other cat, who is 7. For instance, should I take the older cat to the vet in the carrier and then bring home the empty carrier and let him see that it's empty? Any and all advice will be much appreciated!!! Thanks.

She turned up at our house pregnant and stuck around since then, and she was a mellow, friendly cat. Even after she had her kittens she was mellow, a bit more protective, but mellow.. Recently she's been going crazy. She'll roll over to be rubbed, and then she'll just bite out of nowhere! She's never bitten before, and now she does it constantly. Sometimes she rolls around and has her mouth open a little and tries to attack things. She even attacked one of her kittens! I don't know what's wrong with her :c Help!

Both cats R brothers & got along well until last night. Herf has gone to vet b4 & has gotten shots & Hermes didn't react much when Herf got back. Yesterday, Herf had shots and had an area shaved on his neck for blood to be drawn. They used alcohol on him; now Hermes think Herf's a strange cat because Herf smells different and Hermes now growls & hisses at Herf. Herf's baffled & just wants to hang with his brother. Last night, I had both cats on the bed, they were okay, then I guess Herf moved to close to Hermes & Hermes really growled @ Herf & they attacked each other - bad. I Have them separated now, but don't know what to do. I can't live w/ this feline discord and I'm beside myself. What if they don't get along ever again? I used kitty wipes to wipe them both down to see if it would help; it didn't. Any of you gone thru this b4? Hermes is acting better today but I'm afraid to let them be together yet. How can I get them to get over it and get along like they did 36 hrs ago?

My cat has a really bad habit of chewing on rubber bands, and then throwing up. How can i get this to stop? She is eight years old but very smart, she knows how to sit, high five, and walk on a leash. I've tried to train her not to eat them but it doesn't work.

I was at work last night, and i heard a kitten crying. She ran away from me at first so i know she has to be 6-8 weeks old. I have decided to keep her also. I already bought her dry kitten food, Witch she is eating. She was also infested with fleas so i gave her a bath using cat/kitten flea shampoo. I put a flea collar on her for about 11 hours, But i later read that you shouldn't do that with a kitten, So i took it off.

I am just wondering if ive taken the right steps so far, and what else should i be doing? As i havent owned a kitten sense the 3rd grade.

My cat is about 4 years old, and had her shots when I got her at 3 months old. She stays inside and does not come in contact with other animals. My question is, is she supposed to be getting vaccinations regularly from the vet?
Thanks in advance for any helpful information.

I recently got a new kitten (9 wks old). He and the resident cat (6 mos old) get along fine, albeit with a lot of play fighting.

A few days ago I noticed what seemed like a small scrape (like a scuff on suede) on his nose (the muzzle). I assumed he'd gotten it while rough-housing with the other cat and kept an eye on it. By day 2 the area had some white around it and I thought maybe it was new fur (he's a Siamese, their fur can grow back white), but it's gotten worse the past couple days and now I just have no idea what it is. It's like what happens when you get suede wet - stiff, kind of scabby looking, almost "cracked." I'm pretty sure it's not ringworm. It seems to vaguely match the description of some kinds of mange, but it's just on his nose, and neither he nor the other cat have any symptoms of mange (no scratching and it doesn't bother him). He's going to the vet if it doesn't improve, but..
