Guidebook to cat care

A cat owner needs to be well informed about basic cat care routines to keep the furry friend playful and in good health.

●   Feeding: Maintain recommended diet and portion size for your feline. It's important always to provide fresh, clean water to your cat. Also, ensure you wash and then refill the cats' bowls daily. It can be tempting to provide to treat your cat, but one should make sure that the treats should only make up 5-10% of the kitty's diet.

●   Grooming: Cats are very particular about their hygiene. You will find your cat cleaning its fur on their own most of the time. It is essential to brush the cat's hair to clean its fur coat, with an occasional bath. While cats naturally shed their claws, make sure to care for a regular nail trim before they overgrow in their claw pads.

●   Litter box: A litter box is a central point in a cat's life. All indoor cats need a litter box. Make sure that it's placed in a quiet and accessible location. Cats are picky regarding hygiene and won't use a messy, smelly litter box. Ensure that your cats' litter box remains clean for use. Also, provide sufficient litter boxes if your house is big.

●  Scratching essential: Cats need to scratch! It's a natural behavior for them. Train your cats well to use a scratching post to help prevent damage to your furniture and others around. They leave a scratch to visually mark their territories and the scent left from their paws.

●  Veterinarian visits: A timely regular visit to a veteran is essential for your cat care. Your veterinarian will recommend vaccination based on your cat's age and health. Cats have a different veterinary requirements than dogs, so ensure that your veteran specializes in feline health.
