How To Take Care Of Your Cats

It is often said that a cat is handled. Well, perhaps exaggerated, but if you deign to be friends with you, then you have to do something.

These are the things you need to know if you are having a cat

1.You will need a strong commitment to a cat, as they require some care, but not as much as dogs and can live 15 years or more in some cases.

2.Cats need food daily care and play time regularly. You also have to consider before boarding your cat, you have bills to pay for veterinary vaccines and deworming year if treatment is necessary for all diseases. These bills can sometimes be very expensive, but you can buy insurance for pets can be a good idea to shop around to get the best deal.

3.Before having your cat, you need to buy food and water dishes, a collar if you want the cat to use one, a bed and bedding company, some adapted toys and some food.

4.A kitten should be fed 4 times a day with a small amount of food each meal, reduce to 3 times per day to 3 months if in 6-8 months 2 meals per day. Cats older than 12 months will be fed twice a day usually morning and early evening.

5.Cats groom themselves, but using a soft brush on the cat, especially long-haired variety, will help reduce hairballs in the cat's stomach, which is caused by the licking / grooming themselves.

6.If you decide to have a cat flap door so the cat can come and go as you please, you have to learn to use the door. You can use it to attract the cat to go through the door when fully open. Start by opening the lid completely, just to show the tit-bits, the next time you close the flip a bit and keep doing it until the cat realizes that the shutter opens with a little push her head.

7.Cats like to sharpen their claws on most of the furniture! Suites, the corners of walls (bonds), blankets. Invest in a scratching post - there are many to choose from. When the cat begins to scratch, removing the cat and put it by the side of the zero line, they will soon get the message and use the post instead of furniture.

8.If you are worried about your cat disappear or are involved in an accident, you can get a microchip (about the size of a grain of rice) is inserted into the back of the neck of the cat. The chip contains information that may help identify the cat as yours.

It is often said that a cat suit themselves. This is obviously not true, but they have a more independent character than some other pets. That said, they still make ideal companions when they allow you to be their friend.
