Today, healthy cats are happy cats. Have you recently adopted or brought a new cat home? Nothing beats a new feline friend’s soft purr or a fluffy cat’s little meows. Cats are fun, lively, independent, affectionate, curious, clever, and frequently highly engaging, as you may already know or soon come to find. As pets, cats require little maintenance and are easy to look after. Once you are satisfied with the basics of feeding, using litter boxes, grooming, over-all health, and safety, all which is left to do is to adore your cat. Let’s learn more about them:
Give your cat fresh water 24/7:
Water consumption is important for the health of your pets. Good hydration can retain your cat comfortable and happy by preventing common feline health concerns. Kittens can be fussy when it comes to their water. If you have ever noticed your cat pawing at her water dish or drinking from the washbasin, she prefers moving water. You may give your cat the clean, flowing water she likes and motivate her to drink more by installing a pet fountain. This will help your cat stay more hydrated.
Create a scratching post habit for your cat:
Scratching is a normal, healthy action for cats and is sometimes necessary. On an appropriate surface like carpet, sisal, or cardboard, regular scratching aids your cat’s claws in shedding their old coats. When you do this, you can avoid damage to your furniture and keep the flexibility and health of your cat’s muscles and claws. Adjusting your cat to a scratching post or board may take a while, but it will be well worth it.
Clean the litter box regularly:
Cleaning up a dirty loo is not fun. Many cats would choose another location if their litter box were last cleaned a while ago. If you use a regular litter box, try to scoop the litter at least once daily and clean the entire box once a week. If you detest scooping excrement, a self-cleaning litter box is a game-changer since it gives your cat the regular clean litter box she deserves without subjecting you to the unpleasant task. If you discover that your cat is rapidly using the outside litter box, even if it is clean, speak to your veterinarian, as this could occasionally indicate a medical issue.
Final thoughts:
Maintaining your cat friend’s safety, security, and happiness is a full-time job. If you follow the above tips, your cat will provide you with a lifetime of happiness and company in return for your care.
