TIME SPENT WITH YOUR CAT IS INVALUABLE TO YOU AND YOUR KITTY. THEY CRAVE ATTENTION LIKE ALL LIVING SOULS, SO TAKE TIME OUT OF YOUR DAILY LIFE EVERY CHANCE YOU GET TO REMIND YOUR FURRY FAMILY MEMBER THAT HE OR SHE IS SPECIAL AND IMPORTANT. THIS CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED THROUGH DAILY ROUTINES SUCH AS COMB-OUT TIME, PLAY TIME, SNUGGLE TIME OR PLAYING WITH OTHERS. CATS CAN ALSO BE TRAINED WITH THE REWARD SYSTEM OF HIGHLY FLAVORED TREATS, CATNIP AND SPECIAL ATTENTION.
SUPERVISE YOUR CATS AND MAKE SURE THEY AR NOT EXHIBITING ANY BEHAVIORS THAT MAY BE DANGEROUS OR DESTRUCTIVE. THE WATER BOTTLE SRAY OR A LOUD 'NO' IS USUALLY THE BEST TYPE OF CORRECTION. ANY OTHER TYPE OF DISCIPLINE WILL RESULT IN NEGATIVE BEHAVIOR ONLY MAKING THE PROBLEMS WORSE. KEEPING NAILS CLIPPED SHORT HELPS TO KEEP SCRATCHING TO A MINIMUM AS WELL. THE YOUNER YOU START THIS, AS IN AS SOON AS YOU GET YOUR BABY HOME, THE EASIER THE ROUTINE IT IS.
FEEDING YOUR CAT A TOP SHELF QUALITY DIET IS IMPERATIVE. THE ONLY DIET WE HAVE HAD SUPERIOR SUCCESS WITH IS ROYAL CANIN FOR PERSIANS. THEY HAVE DIFFERENT VARIETIES FOR EACH STAGE OF LIFE. OTHER FOODS JUST DON'T KEEP THE PROPER MUSCLE TO FAT RATIO ON THE PERSIAN/EXOTIC BREED, BELIEVE ME WE HAVE TRIED. OVERFEEDING, ESPECIALLY WITH AN INFERIOR SUGAR AND GRAIN FILLED DIET WILL RENDER YOUR CAT A SHORTER LIFE AND HIGHER VET BILLS.
YOUR KITTY IS GOING TO WANT TO BE WITH YOU MOST OF THE TIME AND THAT INCLUDES SLEEP TIME AS WELL. MOST OF OUR BABIES SLEEP IN BED WITH US OR IN OUR BEDROOM IN WHATEVER COMFY SPOT THEY HAVE CHOSEN. WE HAVE PLUSH BEDS ALL OVER THE HOUSE FOR THEM, BUT SOMETIMES THEY MAKE THEIR OWN PLACE ON A DRESSER, OPEN WINDOW SILL, YOUR CHAIR OR BACK OF THE COUCH...
KEEP KITTIES LITTERBOX CLEAN. WE CLEAN OUR BOXES AT LEAST TWICE DAILY AND DUMP AND SANITIZE THEM WEEKLY. THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE KITTIES DO NOT LIKE DIRTY BOXES AND WILL START GOING ELSEWHERE IF THEIR BOXES ARE NOT CLEAN. ALSO, BEFORE THEY BECAME DOMESTICATED THEY DID NOT GO POTTY IN THE SAME PLACE DAILY WHICH HELPED PREVENT DISEASE SPREADING.
REGULAR VETERINARY VISITS TO KEEP KITTIES VACCINATIONS UP TO DATE, CHECK FOR ABNORMALITIES OR ANYTIME SOMETHING JUST DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT WITH YOUR FUR BABY. MANY THINGS CAN BE CAUGHT EARLY DURING YOUR DAILY COMBING AND BRUSHING SESSION NOT TO MENTION KEEPING SHEDDING AND MATTING UNDER CONTROL.
PROVIDE KITTY WITH MANY PLACES TO SCRATCH HIS NAILS SUCH AS THE VERY INEXPENSIVE CARDBOARD SCRATCHING PADS, SCRATCHING TREES AND TRIM HIS NAIL AT LEAST BI-WEEKLY AS THIS WILL AID IN KEEPING DESTRUCTIVE SCRATCHING TO A MINIMUM.
GET KITTY NEUTERED OR SPAYED BETWEEN 5-6 MONTHS OF AGE AS THEY WILL SOON BE AN ADULT AN ABLE TO REPRODUCE AND START EXHIBITING BEHAVIORS THAT ARE NOT DESIRABLE AS A PET SUCH AS HOWLING AND SPRAYING.
DO NOT LET KITTY GO OUTSIDE AS THIS IS THE FATEST WAY FOR KITTY TO GET SICK, HURT OR KILLED. THESE CATS ARE NOT EQUIPPED TO DEAL WITH ALL THAT THE GREAT OUT OF DOORS COULD BRING THEIR WAY!
