5 Quick Cat Tips
#1. Kittens can be very rambunctious, playing aggressively, climbing furniture and draperies. Often, simply clapping one's hands loudly can send a negative stimulus which will stop the undesired behavior.
#2. Did you know that having a cat can be good for your health? Studies have shown that petting a cat decreases blood pressure and heart rate, while increasing one's sense of well-being.
#3. Cats have very specific dietary needs, being strict carnivores. They require a much higher level of protein than dogs. As a matter of fact, a cat cannot survive for an extended period of time without protein. This is one reason why you should not allow your cat to eat your dog's food
#4. Cat fights, infectious disease and vehicular danger are a few reasons to keep your cat indoors. The biggest reason is that indoor cats live an average 2 years longer.
#5. In a multiple cat household you should have one more litter box than the number of cats. For example, if you have 2 cats, you should have 3 boxes. This will help deal with territorial issues and may aid in preventing inappropriate elimination.
Why Spay & Neuter?
Each day 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. - and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result, every year 4 to 6 million animals are euthanized because there are no homes for them. If you allow your pet to breed, even if you find a good home for the litter, they take the place of the homeless puppies, kittens and full grown dogs and cats in shelters that need to be adopted. Your litter may well take the life of a living, loving, wonderful ~ but homeless pet. What can you do to stop the suffering?
