Give Your Cat The Best With These Top Tops And Advice

A new cat is very similar to a new child. One of the hardest parts of raising a new kitten is keeping them entertained whenever they want to play. A young kitten isn't afraid to wake you up while tangling themselves in your hair. Still, there are better ways to keep these little felines entertained.

If you absolutely must bathe a cat, set everything up in advance. Set up two tubs large enough to dunk a cat. Fill them with comfortably warm water. Set your open bottle of cat shampoo, a heavy towel, and a secure pet carrier close by. Wear heavy rubber gloves. Grasp your cat by the scruff of the neck. Dunk, shampoo and scrub quickly in one tub. Dunk to rinse in the second tub. Wrap the cat securely in the towel and place in the carrier to dry.

 

Do not isolate the litter box in a distant place. Try to keep it away from areas of household traffic and away from your cat's eating areas. In addition, you should ensure you place the litter box in a well-ventilated area to minimize the smell. Your cat will certainly appreciate your efforts, and you will too!

 

Male felines tend to have a build-up of crystals that present in the urine, so you need to avoid this with proper nutrition. It is painful for your cat to pass these crystals and the cost to have this treated by a vet is high. Choose a cat food low in magnesium. Read the label. Poultry products will tend to have lower amounts than seafood based products.

 

If your cat goes outdoors a lot, the chances are good that they come home filthy once in a while. When your cat is especially dirty or smelling like a skunk, you should make an appointment with the local groomer. Groomers will be gentle with your cat, resulting in a less traumatic experience.

 

If you want a cat to come your way, it may be a good idea for you to refrain from looking at them. Cats do not like it when people look them directly in the eye, so they tend to go the other way. This is why it seems as if cats always gravitate toward people who are not really fond of animals.

 

If you've just met a cat, don't look at them in their eyes. Cats do not like being stared at by people they don't know. That's why they are more comfortable if you are not looking at them. They are more likely to approach you that way, and more likely to kindly regard you in the future.

 

Make sure that your cat has a collar on with ID tags on it. This will be important even if you have an indoor cat. Cats are endlessly curious and may head out an open door or window. Tags that have your vet's name and phone number are good things to put on the collar. If your kitty has medical conditions, this information can be a life saver.

 

The key to entertaining kittens is simplicity. Most cats love some of the same little games and gestures, while other cats are incredibly unique with their own ideas for fun. If you don't want your kitty to grow into a grumpy, old furball, then let it have fun and play around like a kitten should.
