My Furry Feline
While the most widely accepted notion of a pet is a dog, cats are not far behind, and in fact for a number of reasons, cats are actually more commonly kept as pets than dogs.
Just as there are many breeds of dog, there are also several breeds of cats, the better known breeds are Siamese and Persian. While generally regarded as being "low-maintenance" relative to dogs, having a cat for a pet is also quite a responsibility.
Like dogs, cats need to be fed, vaccinated, neutered, treated when sick, and picked up after. One amazing aspect of cats, is that if you provide a kitty litter, you can rely on your cat to "do-it" there every time, which of course makes it easier to clean up after them. It also means though that apart from a meal dish, a water bowl and a bed, you need to get a litter box. You may also need toys, a scratching post and a pet carrier.
Feeding
The proper way to feed a cat varies with age. Kittens younger than 12 weeks old should be fed four times daily. From the ages of three to six months, it can be reduced to thrice daily. Adult cats can be fed in a single large meal or two. Cats are predators, and are thus adapted for gorging and fasting.
Dos and Don'ts
- Don't feed your cat food that has been standing for more than half an hour.
- Canned food is okay, but is not as nutritionally complete as dry food; it also doesn't give the same dental benefits.
- If your cat is on a dry food diet, make sure you replenish his water dish regularly, don't let your cat's water stand too long, change the water frequently if unconsumed, and wash his dish once a day.
- When you buy dry food, look at nutrient content rather than simply buying the cheapest stuff on the market.
- You should buy only kitten food for kittens, not adult cat food.
- If your cat likes milk, be sure to dilute it in equal parts water, otherwise your cat will get diarrhea.
- Wash your cat's plate or dish daily
- Avoid giving treats, as this could make your cat overweight in the long run.
- Avoid giving your cat food off the table, you don't want your cat thinking it is ok to jump up on the table and take food.
- Brush your cat's hair once a day to prevent hairballs. This will also keep their coats shiny.
- Clean out their litter box once a week, if you fail to do so, your cat might be forced to defecate elsewhere.
- Make regular trips to the vet and make sure your cat is vaccinated.
Yes, cats are independent creatures, and actually will not require as much care as dogs. However, if you want to do right by your cat, you will invest the extra care and money anyway. A cat can reward you with a long lasting friendship.
