basic needs of a cat


Food


Feeding our cat should combine think and cans of good quality age-appropriate and energy expenditure of our pet. When we have a kitten, it should offer variety of food, looking for different flavors and textures. To do this we market numerous feed of different flavors and sizes of kibble, as well as many varieties of wet food (both flavors and presentation: mousse, pâté, chips, etc.) In the same way, we can offer small samples our own food, avoiding foods like chocolate, garlic and onion (or sauce or foods containing them).

We can leave dry food all day and wet irla rationed to avoid problems of decomposition.

It is always important to follow the manufacturer as to the amount of daily food of each type of food.


Drink
 

Our mascot must have water freely available forever. They are animals who regularly drink very little , so we will try to increase consumption by providing different water fountains ( different materials , sizes and shapes ) around the house . Thanks especially to have running water. So we can put decorative fountains , but always with normal water , never distilled . As with the feeders , there is always that place them away from the litter tray. In addition , also they preferred that water and food are also separated

malt
 

Malt is a paste that is given routinely to our cats to favor the elimination of hairballs . Depending on the type of hair your pet and if you are moving or not, vary the frequency of administration. Some cats prefer to eat " catnip " , a plant type grass that we can plant at home and leave at your disposal.


Sand tray

 Basic sand tray is one in which our cat can be as long as he is and can turn smoothly. Although cats seem to prefer them without protective and uncovered adapt quite well to our preferences ( in general) .


The type of sand we use is also quite variable.
The tray should be cleaned thoroughly once a week , but remove feces and urination that are possible each day.
If you have more than one cat , it would have at least as many trays as cats, arranged in different locations to prevent problems.
The trays should not be in passageways , next door or appliances. We must find a quiet place in the house, just as we want peace of mind when going to the bathroom


Brushing

If your cat has short hair , with a rubber brush it is enough. If your hair is long , we need a normal comb man and a card . Brushing will be almost daily or weekly , depending on the hair type and the time of year ( whether moving or not).



scraper

All cat needs at least one scraper , if possible , one large with different scrapers , hiding places , platforms to watch, etc. The scraper should be placed in the area where the family more time passes , usually the dining room.The scraper must be stable and as high as long the cat, so you can stretch to scratch .Many cats , thank more than a scraper , perhaps even one in each room
