Cat FAQs
I find that my kitten doesn’t respond well
to certain cat foods, what should I do?
You have already completed a necessary step in pet ownership, and that
is noticing the behavior of your animal. If your cat doesn’t respond
well to a specific type of food, don’t feed them it. Just like
certain humans are lactose intolerant, chances are there is something
in the cat food that your kitten doesn’t like and is hard for
them to process. Try different brands of food and switch between wet
and dry food and see if that makes a difference; however, I suggest
visiting a professional for a more accurate diagnosis if this issue
doesn’t seem to resolve itself.
I feel bad leaving my cat at home cooped up all day, but am
afraid that if I let her out one of the neighborhood dogs will get her,
any suggestions?
I wouldn’t like to be cooped up inside all day either and I think
that most people would agree with me. I suggest purchasing an outdoor
cage for your cat. This allows her to receive the benefits of the outdoor
air and to experience new and exciting sounds and smells, but offers
her protections from external element as well. Make sure that the cage
has access to shade and an adequate supply of food and water to avoid
possible overexposure to nature’s elements.
I’ve always wanted a cat, but don’t know if I can
afford it. Is there anywhere I can go that can help me?
First things first, it is absolutely necessary that you have enough
money to properly care for a pet; however, there are a few things you
can do to decrease the cost associated with owning an animal. Consider
visiting a local shelter to purchase the cat. They are often less expensive
than a private seller may offer, and it will be giving the cat the gift
of life so they don’t have to be put down. Second, there are locations
that offer discounted food and play toy items for purchase. I suggest
researching the Internet to find potential deals; however, again it
is important that you take into consideration possible visits to the
vet, or other potential monetary investments before purchasing an animal.
