What does my cat need ?
If you own a cat … you love it. And because you love it you want the best for it.
Here’s a list of things that shouldn’t miss in a cats life.
Cat Bed
You have your own bed … comfortable and warm. A cat needs a bed to … why shouldn’t it have a place or it’s own ? As you love sleeping in your bed so does your cat.
Imagine changing your bed everytime you go to sleep … that would be a pain cause nobody sleeps better than in his own bed. Here’s an interesting cat bed you can buy.
Toys
Everybody loves toys, you loved your toys as a child and cats love playing. Playing cats stimulate their minds and help keep them active throughout the day.
You can either make your own toys or buy some. A large variety or toys exist, from balls, bells, mice or something attached to a string. Cats will play with anything that moves and catches their attention. They will play with a sock to … and they love it. Hopefully … that sock is clean …
Litter Tray
Imagine yourself without a bathroom … would you make your needs with somebody else watching you ? NO
This is why a cats needs a litter box … and it’s best to put it in a place you can’t see it. Make sure the cat knows where it is 
Comb and brush
It’s very important to comb your cat especially it it has long hair.
Regular grooming is important to prevent the fur from becoming tangled and to make sure your kitty looks great! Some cats do not require constant grooming, it all depends on the type of fur they have. It is best to keep a comb or brush handy in case the kitten gets something stuck in its fur or rolls in something! Regular stroking will help remove dirt and dead hair.
Don’t worry cats care also on how they look … so they will groom to.
Medications & Healthcare
If your kitten is a pedigree and you have bought him/her from a trusted breeder, the kitten should have already been vaccinated. If you are unsure ask the breeder for the vaccination records. Kittens are vaccinated against flu, Enteritis and Leukaemia virus, vaccinations should be repeated at 9 and 11 weeks then annually. If your kitten is non-pedigree you may have to arrange the initial vaccinations with a vet yourself, your kitten should not be let outside until he/she had had the vaccinations. Ask your vet about worming as well, they will be able to recommend the best products for your kitten. Taking care of this stuff while your cat is still young will minimize the chances of your cat suffering from cat arthritis when it’s old.
