Cat Food

SPAY A CAT

Although pets are fairly independent creatures they still can't look after themselves. They need a well balanced diet in order for them to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Feeding them the scraps off your plate or giving them too much food can cause serious health problems like cat obesity, diabetes, skin and fur conditions or even death.

Indoor Cat

Keeping your feline indoors will also increase your cats life expectancy as there is no cars, dogs or poison threatening their lives. It's true cats are nocturnal, so at night try to play with them or give them a variety of toys to keep them occupied. A bored cat over time can turn into aggressive cat if you don't stimulate their mind and body.

Cat Recreation

Purchase a few toys like a squishy ball, a cat nip mouse, some string or on a larger scale a ceiling height cat gym. Cats love heights and like to sharpen their claws and a cat accessory. Your cat will take great delight in sleeping, playing or watching the world go by from the cat gym.

Grooming

While pets do groom themselves its still a good idea to brush them regularly and shampoo at least twice a month. The majority of cats fear water, so it's possible to buy dry cat shampoo from your Veterinary clinic. A dry shampoo will neutralize the odor as well as condition their coat. This will keep your cat happy and home smelling a lot cleaner. Regular brushing will also reduce the amount of fur that accumulates on your soft furnishing.

By keeping your feline clean and well groomed you can keep an eye out for parasites, skin conditions or anything that wouldn't normally stand out.

Visit the Vet

Remember to take your cat to the vet for there initial vaccinations, micro-chipping and to be desexed. Your cat will be less prone to disease, mood swings and if your relocating interstate your cat will be already micro-chipped. Maintain your cats health and longevity by taking them for regular checkups, vaccinations, a teeth clean, and have them treated for internal and external parasites.

Keeping a cat does require regular upkeep but in the long run your cat will make a wonderful companion.
