Return to site Return to site 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 earrings hypoallergenic cat earrings Previous Find Out The Best Method To Look After Your Feline By...
