If you have a cat at home

Sooner or later, a cat comes into every person’s life. Some people pick up an orphaned and poor cat from the street, some, on the contrary, take a long time to choose the breed and pedigree. Be that as it may, after a mustachioed tabby appears in the house, life changes, especially if the cat is very small. What is needed to ensure a happy life for an animal?

Food

Cats are not fussy eaters, although they have many quirks. You can debate endlessly about which is better: dry food or natural food. Most often, there is only one conclusion – whoever has what is easier, feeds him. The main thing is that the cat likes it and it is convenient for the owners. However, cats still do not want to eat some foods, such as fish. It has been proven more than once that fish causes cats to develop urolithiasis, which takes a long time and is difficult to treat, and in certain advanced cases can lead to the death of the animal. Also, it is undesirable to give your pets raw meat and offal, since they, unfortunately, are rich in parasites, which are also unpleasant for both the cat and the owner. But cats really respect dairy products, eggs, and crispy vegetables.

Tray

The first and most important thing is to train a kitten or adult cat to use the litter box so they can comfortably coexist with it in the same apartment. There are many different ways to train a cat to use a litter box. Choosing the right litter box and litter is crucial. Today, there’s a huge selection of cat litter. The first thing to consider is what your cat prefers. Some prefer to dig in fine sand, while others don’t care. It’s worth noting that cats are very intelligent creatures and understand their owner’s wishes perfectly well. At first, you’ll need to closely monitor your pet to recognize when they need to do their business and then take them to the designated spot, praising them for their neatness. Keep the litter box in plain sight, even if you have to tolerate it in the most unexpected places at first. This way, the cat will get used not to the location of the box, but to the litter box itself. Then, simply move the box to a convenient location for your owner, ensuring 24/7 access. It’s important to remember that cats are very clean creatures, so to avoid embarrassment, it’s best to change the litter as it gets dirty rather than rubbing your cat’s nose in a puddle.

Sleep

A real cat creates its own sleeping and resting place, ignoring all sorts of houses and scratching posts. It might climb a pile of freshly washed laundry or bury itself in papers and bags, and feel happy. However, you can try to create a multi-level home for your cat throughout the apartment, as cats value vertical space more than horizontal.

Safety

Unfortunately, modern human dwellings are far from safe for cats. Wires that tempt you to chew and that give you electric shocks, high floors where birdwatching is so exciting, and as soon as you turn away, your pet is already flying, legs spread, like any bird, only down, not up. Consider installing strong mesh on your windows to ensure your pet doesn’t get into trouble when trying to ventilate the room.

Love

Why do people keep pets? To give them warmth and affection, to play with them, and to interact with them!
