Fur, Jaws, and Claws

posted by fmoore on Dec 7

The list can become quite long when it comes to what you should do to make a new kitten feel at home. We are going to deal with four main areas: bedding, litter boxes, feeding dishes, and grooming utensils. First, your cat will need a good place to sleep that is private and where it can feel safe.

The area that your kitten will be needs to be free from drafts, warm and as comfortable as possible while it is sleeping. Fortunately, there are many different types of beds and baskets that are available for your cat to experience optimal comfort.

Secondly, your cat will initially need a litter box. It will have to stay inside until it becomes accustomed to its surroundings. The litter box can have shredded newspaper for a cheap alternative until you have thoroughly researched the best natural cat litters on the market for your kitten. The litter box will need to be cleaned out regularly to ensure that your cat is always comfortable using it. Put the litter box in a quiet corner, far away from where it will be eating its food, so your kitten can be in private.

Thirdly, speaking of eating, cleanliness is the most important factor with kittens feeding, any utensils, or feeding dishes that are used with its food. They must be thoroughly cleaned after each and every meal. There is a wide range of suitable products on the market to make feeding your kitten or cat more convenient.

Lastly, grooming is very important to cats. Even cats in the wild spend the majority of their waking hours grooming. You can assist by getting a good double-sided body brush for grooming to make sure that the fur doesn’t become knotted or matted. Any lose fur should be brushed away to reduce the chance of fur balls causing digestive problems. Grooming will keep the fur clean from dirt, and more importantly, fleas. Kittens and cats with longer fur will need more time spent on them than shorthaired cats as they will lose more fur and this will get swallowed if they are left to do all their own grooming.

This post really takes into the account just about everything it will take for your cat to enjoy living with you as much as you plan to enjoy living with it.
