It is easy to get caught up in the simple fun of a feline game. They provide a lot of entertainment for you and your family. Understand that a cat requires a lot of care, but entertaining them doesn’t cost a lot. Take advantage of this advice, and happy times are ahead of you.
Make sure your cat sees a vet regularly to maintain their good health. A yearly visit for a regular check-up is important, with more frequent visits for shots as required. When the cat seems to be acting abnormally, take it to the vet immediately.
Make sure your cat is out of harms way by putting a little bitter apple on all the electrical cords to avoid them getting shocked. If your cat likes to chew cords, hide the cords as best you can. You can bundle loose cords together and place them inside paper towel rolls. Store electronics when they are not in use rather than leaving them plugged in.
Try to avoid your cat from becoming bored each day. Play and exercise are both important for cats’ well-being. But many cat owners ignore that need. Cats that are frequently bored may develop OCD, depression or other harmful conditions. Make sure you give them lots of toys and room to play. Indoor cats will be happier if you provide them with climbing resources and practical things such as scratching posts.
Your cat has sensitive ears, especially in the car when they’re stressed out. You may like music loud and booming, but a cat will prefer lower volumes as their ears are more sensitive. Turn down the music and let the cat rest.
Create a tablecloth that your cats can use. Often cats prefer moving food from a bowl onto the floor to eat. Sometimes, this results in food outside the bowl that you have to clean up. Simply place a cloth placemat that will grab at the food under their plate and then shaken out over the trash. You can put a vinyl one underneath that can be picked up wiped down easily if you prefer.
If you give your kids a kitten, provide them with firm boundaries at the same time. Let your children know which rooms their cat can be in. It’s also important to let them know that outside doors must be kept closed so that the cat doesn’t escape. Your children will be able to understand the rules more easily if they know them ahead of time.
If you cat is overly vocal, try to figure out exactly why he or she is making so much noise. If you stay around a cat for a period of time you will figure out what their verbal cues mean. Possibilities include that she is hungry or wants to be let outside. By taking note of your cat’s cues, you’ll understand it more.
Litter Box
You should never punish your cat for not using the litter box. Often, this happens when the litter box is dirty. Your cat will become afraid of you if you punish it or scold it too often.
Try any of the games suggested and see how much fun it can be playing with your cat. The more you know about caring for your cat, the healthier and happier it will be. A healthy cat will make your days much more enjoyable.
