Do Not Look For Cheaper Brands

If you happen to have some money with you then, stop looking for the cheaper brands of cat food and discounted offers for cat food because this can be a bad investment in the long run. Most of the times, you will see that cheaper foods come with less expiry and if you buy them in bulk then, it will be wasted. Meanwhile cheaper brands will also be less in quality and they can make your cat get sick and the expanse that you will spend on getting your cat to vet will get things equal to a quality and expensive brand. 

Play Time Is Must

Playing is an instinctive behavior of almost all domestic animals except few. Especially when you talk about pets like cats and dogs then, you can never separate them from their play.  They always need certain level of play and you have to give them your attention in that play time.  Play is also necessary for proper health of these pets because if you do not give them any intense and regular physical activity then, they will become dull and that can lead to different health problems which are related to excessive weight and other similar things. 

Avoiding Bad Habits

Some owners really do not care about certain bad habits of their cats for example it can look really cute when your small kitten bites at your bare foot or wrist but it will be a different scene when a full grown cat bites you with his predator teeth but you do not need to get shocked at that time because the cat is doing what she was taught in early days. You need to observe the habits of your cat closely and tell him or her to avoid certain habits which are not appropriate for your home’s order and discipline.  Never encourage the behavior that you do not want to see in your cat in future. This is normal rule that apply some common sense in your relationship and avoid your cat to do things that can make fuss in your home. 

Protecting Your Kitty

The following are some suggestions that can be used to provide the necessary precautions in keeping a kitty safe: • Keeping the cats indoors is perhaps the most effective way of keeping the animal safe. Although this is not a full proof solution, as most cats will eventually find ways to get out once they are bigger, it is a useable solution for a kitten. This of course is only if all the members within the household unit are equally committed to being careful and alert to leaving doors and windows ajar.  • Other safety measure would be to keep all wires and all unplugged dangling cords out of the reach of the cat. Most cats are instantly attracted to anything hanging or moving, thus there is a need to ensure the wires are not left dangling. Other objects such as blinds should also be properly secure to ensure the cat does not become entangled in it. Besides this, keeping breakables out of the cat’s path would also be a good idea. If observed carefully, the owner would be ...

Differentiate between play and aggression

People often become confuse about the fact that when it is aggression and when it is play time because both of these behaviors have almost similar kind of instincts. There will too much noise, telling, biting and flying fur in playing but if you observe closely then, you will see that scratching it with nails inside the fur, biting is with soft jaws and most importantly you will see that aggressor keeps changing.  If one cat is aggressive for 5 minutes then, the other cat will be dominating and aggressive in next 5 minutes. These are the hall marks for play time and you should be able to identify that pretty clearly. 

Read The Signs

Understanding the difference between the natural nature of the cat and the habits that the cat picks up is very important. Trying to train the cat to do something that goes against the very core nature of it will not only be confusing but will cause the cat to resist altogether.  This will create a very unpleasant and stressful situation for both the cat and the owner. Therefore, the responsibility is left to the owner to read up on such behavioral patterns and understand the difference, so that the appropriate actions can be taken when it is called for. Some of the ways a cat behaves are purely instinctive and it would be helpful and beneficial for the owner to be able to identify these differences.  The litter box is another good example of the cat’s natural instincts being evident. Cats enjoy digging through loosely textured material, particularly to be used as their toilet area, thus the cat will willingly use the litter box for this purpose. The same would ap...

Canned Food or Kibble

Research has shown that if you stick with just one type of food then, it is not very healthy for the food needs of your cat because it needs a variety of food to nourish. You need to add both dry and canned food in your cat’s diet.  Dry food is very convenient and you can stock some for the emergency timings while canned food contains water in it and cats drink too less water and canned food can help them to overcome that deficiency of water.  Cats can also develop certain allergies form different food types. It happens very rarely but you need to be careful as these allergies can be dangerous at times. To avoid food addictions, you need to change the brands and food flavors because food addiction is also bad and it can make the cat lazy and dependent only upon one flavor or food type. 

Remedies for Cat Cough

Cats cough almost same as we do and it is a reflex action whenever something irritates in back of the throat or in the way of lungs then coughing will occur. Cough can also be healthy for keeping the lungs passage safe from all exterior objects and infections but of it gets too severe as it normally gets then you need to find some solution. Hairballs are a common reason for cough in cats and most of the times you can treat them with an anti-hairball medication.  You can easily judge the type of cough and if it is caused by a hairball then, he will eventually expel a tube-like all out of his throat. 

Know Your Stuff

Most cats will not respond well to any sort of commands unless they are interested in doing so, therefore using any resources available would help to aid the owner in getting the cat at least interested in responding to the command. It has been noted that cats are more likely to stop doing something if it proves to be unpleasant to their senses in any way. This vital piece of information can be used to work for the benefit of the owner in many ways, provided the owner is prepared to be resourceful. If the pet cat loves to scratch at furniture, instead of the scratching pole designated for this purpose, then applying something to the area where the cat tends to scratch would be better than trying to get the cat to stop this action using commands. Applying sticky tape or tin foil would be one option as cats don’t like the sensation it creates on their paws. Generally, the whole idea is to be able to use the soft approach of praise and treats to get the cat to understand the diff...

Add Some Manners in Your Cat’s Life

You can teach your cat to jump through holes and obey your orders but it is better that you emphasize on more basic things that are called as manners.  Cats are wilder than dogs and it is necessary to teach them manners. They cannot learn by just watching you instead you have to come to their level to tell them that how they have to live in your house. Manners are not something that your cat will start hand shaking with your guest but from manners I mean that she should behave normal cat activities and should perform only those things which are acceptable in home and are not creating any fuss.
