CAT
CARE
Cat care encompasses so many
aspects of its life. You must feed the cat properly, ensure good
cat health care, help with grooming, and flea patrol.
To
care for a cat you will need to:
• Provide plenty of human companionship.
• Provide regular, suitable meals
with a constant supply of fresh water.
• Provide a clean and comfortable
bed.
• Provide the cat with outdoor
access or be prepared to empty and clean
a litter tray on a daily basis.
• Groom it regularly. Longhaired
cats require daily grooming.
• Have it neutered between 4
and 6 months old.
• Vaccinate against the major
feline diseases regularly.
• Worm regularly and provide
treatment for fleas.
• Take the cat to the vet when
it shows any sign of illness - pet insurance
can help offset the cost of veterinary treatment.
•
When cleaning your house, never allow your pet access
to the area where cleaning agents are used or stored. Cleaning
agents have a variety of properties. Some may only cause a mild
stomach upset, while others could cause severe burns of the tongue,
mouth, and stomach.
