All You Need To Know About Cat Care

Your cat probably seems like the most independent animal you've ever seen. They don't seem to need your attention like a dog might, and they seem self-reliant in almost every way. That may be so, but your cat still needs some care from you. Here are some cat tips to help you give your cat the best care.

Get a pet water fountain. Cats can be prone to dehydration, and running water entices them to drink. It is an evolutionary habit that developed because in the wild, running water is less likely to be contaminated than a stagnant pool. Your pet will enjoy the water more, and will drink more often.

Protect your cat from choking. Be sure to dispose of poultry and fish bones safely. Wrap them in a paper or plastic bag and put them in your outdoor garbage can with the lid tightly secured. Alternately, place them in a plastic bag and freeze them until garbage pick up day.

Think about getting a microchip implanted in your cat. Even indoor cats get out sometimes. A collar and identification tags can help bring your pet back to you. But experts point out that collars that do not snap apart quickly if your cat gets it caught on a branch or even a bush can accidentally strangle your cat. A microchip is tiny, similar in size to a single rice grain and capable of holding plenty of information. The chip will never be lost because it is under the skin and it can easily be read by any shelter or vet.

If your cat tends to be antisocial and anxious with company, try giving it a catnip toy a few hours before company arrives. Many cats become very mellow when exposed to catnip. Even if your cat does not want to socialize after catnip exposure, it will probably be happier and less anxious.

Cats are nocturnal animals. The result is that they active while you're sleeping. One way to deal with a kitten's playful activity at night is just to shut your door. This will prevent them from entering your sleeping space and awakening you.

Think over whether or not you should let your cat go outdoors. This can be something that isn't very safe for a cat. It takes mere minutes for your cats to pick up fleas, be bitten by a tick or something far worse. Your cat may be targeted by another animal, or get injured by a vehicle or another person. If the cat must go outside, set aside a small part of the backyard or front lawn as a place where they can go.

If you want a cat that is well-behaved and not prone to biting and scratching, make sure that you do not try to adopt one when it is too young. It takes 12-16 weeks for a kitten to learn proper cat behavior from their mom and all of their siblings.

There are a lot of cats that are overweight. An obese cat can end up developing health problems such as arthritis or diabetes. If your cat could stand to lose a pound or two, try cutting back their food a little bit at each feeding. You can also buy some toys and encourage your cat to play and exercise.

Don't buy a closed litter box without first considering the disadvantages. True, it's nice that you don't have to see the contents of the litter box. However, odors tend to build up in closed boxes, making it necessary to clean it more frequently. Covered litter boxes also constrict your cat's movement, which is a problem for larger pets.

One way a dog shows affection for his owner is to wag his tail. Cats move their tails too, but it's not for the same reason. In cats, wagging of the tail tends to indicate conflict or anxiety. It's especially important to keep an eye on your cat's tail when you're holding it. If you see it start to move, it's time to put your pet down before you wind up getting scratched!

Caring for your cat can seem like a thankless job most of the time, but any cat owner is happy to do it. You just need to use the information in this article to be sure you are doing all you can for your independent feline companion. If you follow these tips, you might hear more purring!
