Caring for cats: Caring For Cats

Caring For Cats

Caring for cats should begin before it enters your house. Therefore, you should have all the proper necessities to accommodate the cat when it arrives. This includes the cat litter, cat litter tray, clean cat bowls, food, a cat carrier and comfy, warm bedding for the cat to sleep. In addition they need annual vetenarian visits and grooming.

Cats are really very low maintenance pets, so caring for cats can be very easy. They like to play with something and play can be easily provided by a piece of string. Cats have finely developed hunting habits and any form of play that engages those habits will provide fun and exercise. Playing with a cat might be funny overall, but is completely satisfying after all. Some cat toys designed for cats that are available at pet stores are good for cats to play around - balls, toy mice, cat fisher's etc will all give your cat hours of fun. After hunting play, cats will often crave stroking and can be quite insistent in demanding your attention. Cats are very friendly, so caring for cats is always easy.

One bad habit of cats you will likely come across is scratching. Cats love to scratch in order to stretch themselves and can damage furniture if not taken care of. For that, I strongly advise obtaining a scratch post, this will usually deter the cat from attacking your furniture, carpet, wallpaper and even your favourite curtains.

Try to brushing and combing your cat every day or at least twice a week. Check for anything unusual in body or skin. See your vet right away if you find anything that seems suspicious.

Give your cat a comfortable and quiet place to rest and relax, and to be away from anything that can disturb. Get some soft cat bed, so it can sleep there comfortably.

Caring for cats can be really easy and by no means an impossible task, they are very, very clean, independent animals and sometimes like to be left to their own devices, this is fine but never forget they will still require all your love and your attention.

Can I give my cat her vaccine orally instead of intra-nasally as directed?
She sneezed out all of the last one I gave her 2 weeks ago. I used to have a really big dog kennel business but caring for cats is alot different. My old Himalayan didnt sneeze or react at all when he got his intra nasal vaccine. I have to save money by giving my own vaccines and they dont sell the shots anymore. Anyone know if I can give it orally ? Its going to the same place after all..( nose vs. mouth) ( I feel she is not getting any of the vaccine in her body because she shakes her head and sneezes it out (in my face! lol!) automatically while I give it to her, very aggravating!)

how to care for cat-grass?
I recently bought a pot of pet grass or cat grass that are for your cat. I didn't buy it from the pet store, I bought it from one of the farmer's market on Union Square in Manhattan. The lady at the the adoption center told me to get some from there because they're REAL cat grass. Anyway. I bought these a few days ago, the lady I bought it from told me to water it a little bit a day and put it next to their water bowl. The first day, my cat nibbled on it A LOT! They really liked it. When I gave them food, they actually went to eat the grass instead, and then nibbled on their canned food, then back to the grass. The second day, I watered it a bit like I was instructed but I noticed it was turning a bit yellow at night, so I thought it was a little too little. And ended up watering it more. Now, the third day, the plant is pretty yellow. My cat sniffs it and nibbles it only a little bit now :( Am I doing something wrong? Should I put it in a bigger pot so it won't die as fast? Because the grass is pretty packed in that little pot the lady gave me in.
