Care of cats.
The first and important aspect in the maintenance of the cat at home will be her upbringing. You do not want your favorite at all, you scratch the furniture, wallpaper and crap, wherever it pleases you. Directly, the education of a cat, you should start from the first day of its appearance in your home. Here it is worth noting and such a funny regularity: how many cats - so many characters. It sounds quite like people, but it's the most that is not a true fact. Each cat has its own specific and individual traits. For example, your favorite, perhaps, very mobile or on the contrary lazy, sociable and characteristic or a little wild. All this, of course, should be taken into account in educational measures for his four-fingered family member. Your cat is mobile - as often as possible play with it, sociable or manual - encourage it, do not drive it away from yourself, lazy and freedom-loving - do not pull it once more on your hands and do not make it play with you, wild - try to contact as often as possible her. Change the temperament of a cat for a hundred is not at all possible, as she was still a kitten, almost the same she will be in old age.
Never spoil your pet, and once again do not punish, especially do not hit. The latter causes noticeable aggression in cats, they become angry and biting. If a cat has made some sort of shod, then in this case, raise your voice to it. Believe me, they feel the mood of their master and understand when he is not happy. Conquer the animal's authority, that it would respect and love you. Drain her, beg, jump on the table or sleep in the wrong places. Just do not encourage her behavior.
When you have dinner, never feed the cat from your hands, otherwise it will simply "sit on your head" over time. Never forget to check her bowl with water or a toilet tray. By the way, about the cat's toilet. In order to accustom the cat to go to the toilet in the proper place, first of all, decide where it will be exactly, that in the future the tray will not interfere with anyone. Successful places will be a toilet or bathroom. To accustom a cat to a tray, it is possible with the help of the grandmother's method: wet a piece of paper in her own urine, and put in the tray. The cat itself, by smell, will find this place. Fill the tray for comfortable use by the pet you can, like purchased special sand, and just finely torn pieces of paper. The main thing, do not forget, as often as possible this is all to change.
Remember that you pet should just like you always have a neat and clean look. Therefore, to maintain the hygiene of the cat, do not forget to bathe. But, here it is worth considering that often this is not recommended. To bathe the animal is worth it as it is soiled. For bathing, use special shampoos, never bathe the cat in cosmetics intended for human use. As often as possible comb out your pet with a special scallop. This will help prevent the formation of knocked-down lumps of wool. Especially it is effective to do during a cat's molt. Watch for the purity of the cat's ears, periodically cleaning them with cotton buds. If the pet in the corner of the eye began to form "sour", wipe with a light decoction of chamomile medicinal.
Eating your pet is one of the main aspects to his active and healthy life. Do not accustom a cat to the constant use of special forages, remember, it harms its digestive system. If he uses such food, make sure that he always had water under his nose. Because the dry food, causes the cats a strong thirst. Try to diversify the cat's diet, ranging from vegetables, meat, fish, milk and ending with hot food (borscht, soups). The cat should consume everything for the normal functioning of the stomach. And whatever it is, we can not get through in food, we can accustom it to different foods from childhood, not spoiling one fish and meat.
