How to Care For Your Cat

Every cat owner loves his cat. The cats should be well taken care of in order to keep them healthy and to develop a good relationship with them. It’s the responsibility of every cat owner to keep their cats happy and to pamper their cats often. Many owners want to take care of their cats but often don’t know how to. This article will show you how to keep your cats happy.

Whenever you bring a kitty to your home you should start taking care of it. Some things to consider while keeping a cat as a pet are:

Introduction to the new home- Before bringing a cat to your house you should consider whether your house is suitable for her or not. For example you may have dogs at your place and it would be difficult for your new kitten to adjust there.

Vaccination- To protect your cat from diseases it is very important to get her vaccinated timely. Mostly cats should be vaccinated before nine weeks. You should remember the dates of the cat’s vaccination.

Feeding- Cats should be fed properly and at proper time. They should not be left hungry. Try to avoid feeding your cats on leftovers as it can lead to food allergy. Be careful not to underfeed or overfeed your cat.

Bathing- It is a well known fact that cats hate water. Generally they keep themselves clean but they should also be bathed sometimes. You should not use too much shampoo as this can be hard on their fur. Also try not to spray water on them. Instead make them adjust to it by slowly pouring water on them. Try to comb their fur occasionally to keep the fleas away.

Trimming claws – Another important thing is to trim the claws of your cat but that is a controversial matter. Some consider it to be cruel. However if you decides to trim the claws, remember they have pink tissue that can lead to bleeding while trimming. So that’s something you have to pay attention to.

Toys for your cat- Cats love to play. So you should get them some toys so that they’re happy and it also helps them get some exercise, which is good for their health.

Follow these simple tips and you will be on your way to making your cat happy a healthy one.
