Cats make awesome pets and they are so cute and adorable.
They take some responsibility to take care of, but they are relatively easy pets to have.
Cats have the personality of what would be considered like one that a three year old child has, and they are very affectionate and loyal.
Right before bringing the cat home, make sure you have a food and water dish as well as a litter box.
Also, make a space for the litter box that is in a quiet and dark place.
Laundry rooms are the easiest and most popular choices.
You will need to scoop the litter every couple of days for single cats, but as often as every day if you have multiple cats.
You can use regular or scoop litter, but scoop litter works better.
Train your cat where to eat by putting the food dish where you want it and then showing the cat where it is.
The cats will pick up on that really fast.
Just make sure it is in a place away from high traffic areas.
Cats like to eat in peace, and if there are too many people around, they won't eat the food.
Cats need interaction, and spending time with the pet will form bonds and make it easy to train.
They like to play hunt for things in the house.
Spending time with the cat will help you to train it not to do things like scratch the couch or rip up plants.
It also gets the cat used to the routine of the home.
Protect the cat and other pets in the house by keeping them away from each other.
The last thing a bird needs is a cat trying to eat it.
The same goes for fish.
Make sure there is a special lid on the fish tank to keep the cat out.
At six months of age, cats reach sexual maturity.
You need to have them fixed.
This keeps them from being aggressive wanderers, and will help control the pet population.
Spaying and neutering also will keep them safe by keeping them close to home.
