CAT CARE

Be sure to choose age specific food for your growing or adult cat. You could feed your kitten commercially prepared food with small amounts of other fresh foods like cooked meat, fish and eggs, cheese, liver (raw or cooked) in small amounts etc.

Adequate supply of clean water at all times is essential for your cats survival. A typical cat requires about 150-200ml of water a day.

Moist or canned foods usually contain about 60- 85% water, so cats on a canned food diet require less water but those on a dry food diet will require to drink more.

You have to make a decision whether you are going to confine your kitten indoors or allow him outside at about eight to nine months of age.

It depends upon the type and temperament, some long haired breeds like Persians may be suited well for indoor living while other more active and independent breeds may become frustrated by indoor confinement.

Kittens or older cats allowed outside should always come indoors to sleep, eat etc. In the initial stages, one can entice them indoors with food such as fish until it is established that home is where the food is.

GROOMING

Although cats clean themselves, regular grooming is necessary for keeping his coat in top condition. Moreover its a time together for you and your pet which improves your bonding.

Comb him lightly and remove any tangles by slightly dampening the hair. Brush with a bristle brush slowly and gently all over his entire coat working down the body towards the tail and down the hind legs, to remove dirt and pull out any loose hairs.
