WHAT EVERYONE NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT CARING FOR CATS



 If you own or are considering owning a cat: congratulations! Animals of the
feline persuasion are some of the most amazing companions you can find anywhere.
The following article will provide you with expert tips on managing life with
your cat and in taking care of him. Read on for fun and helpful information.
Play with your cat using proper cat toys. Cats love toys that help them feel
like the predators that they think they are. Try sticking with toys that help
them dance around or jump. This can also help them use extra energy by pouncing
on toys instead of people's feet. If your cat is misbehaving, you can influence
its behavior in a safe and humane way by using water. Fill a small squirt gun or
a spray water bottle with plain water. Give your cat a few light squirts of
water when you catch it misbehaving and it will soon learn to stop doing the
unwanted behavior. Kitty claws can be quite destructive to fabric and
furnishings. A kitty tower can really save your furniture. Teach them to scratch
on it instead of your belongings. They may not take to it overnight, but they
should eventually. Cats love to much on grass and plants such as catnip. There
are plants however that are poisonous to cats. Chrysanthemums and holly are
beautiful and common around the Holidays, but can be very toxic to cats. Other
plants that are toxic or lethal include lilies, rhubarb and daffodils. Is your
cat constantly munching on your house plants? If so there is a fix for this.
Growing oat grass or catnip yourself can help entice your cats away from your
plants. Giving them plants that they can eat and like will help draw them to
those plants over and over again. A tablecloth for the feeding area can be quite
useful. A lot of time cats will take their food from their bowls to eat it on
the food bowl's side. This can really make a mess, and you might have to spend
significant time cleaning around your cat's food bowl. Think about putting a
placemat underneath the bowl or make your own tablecloth out of fabric. If your
cat has to have a surgery such as being spayed or neutered, they will need rest
when they come home. It is hard to keep a cat from jumping up on furniture, but
necessary to avoid pulling out stitches. Designate an area in your house for
your cat to recuperate where they will be less likely to injure themselves,
until they are healed enough to roam free. If you notice that your cat is not
using the litter box as much as usual, you should go and take them to a vet
right away. There are several health problems that can cause the cat to stop
using the box. These issues include bladder problems, constipation and diarrhea.
Anytime you get a new pet, you must introduce them to your cat slowly to help to
avoid problems and let the cat get used to it. Keep them separated for at least
two weeks, but let them sniff at each other under a closed door. Expect to see
your cats avoid each other, hiss, or even confront one another. With enough time
to acclimate themselves to the new arrangement, though, virtually any two cats
will become willing, friendly, and perhaps even inseparable companions. Put some
thought into where you place the litter box. You may really want to hide that
box from everyday life. This litter box must stay in an easy-to-find spot for
your cat. To satisfy a cat's demanding requirements, the litter box needs to be
sited somewhere convenient and comfortable. A litter box located in the basement
should be placed on a thick mat or rug. Cats have an uncanny ability to always
find their way home. If you move to a new home, keep your cat inside for about a
month. This will help your cat to familiarize themselves with the smells of your
new place. If you let your cat out too soon, they might go home to the wrong
house. Your cat may be lonely if you return to work after adopting them. It can
be a good idea to get a companion cat to keep yours company when you are at
work. Put tape on your furnishings. A bit of sticky tape on your cat's favorite
scratching spot can quickly make the act less enjoyable for them. Many pet shops
sell this sort of tape. By keeping your furniture covered with tape and getting
a scratching post put up, you will get your cat to scratch that instead. Before
you let your cat be an outdoor cat, consider the dangers of fleas, fungus and
rabies. Indoor cats can experience these problems, but it is much more likely in
an outdoor cat. If you have a cat that goes outdoors, consider having him micro
chipped. A micro chip will help someone to locate you if they ever find your
pet. This is especially important if your pet lands in a shelter, as shelters
give pets a limited time if they cannot locate the owner easily. Make sure that
you take your cat for regular vaccinations and check-ups. Getting medical care
for your cat is essential for its' health. Your cat needs to stay up to date on
all shots in order for it to be healthy and happy. Regular check-ups will make
sure you can spot any health issues before they get out of control. Cats are
said to be very intuitive and sometimes more helpful as companions than even
other humans! If you own one, you already know this! Hopefully this article has
given you answers to the questions you have about cats and set you straight on
important issues. Enjoy your cat for many years to come. hypoallergenic cat
