What do you need to prepare for transporting a new animal?
So, what do you need to prepare for? First of all, you should prepare to transport the kitten. After all, the animal must be brought home. And it is better to refuse transportation in your bosom or on your hands. For a kitten this will be a great stress, besides, he can be very frightened and break out izruk. Therefore, in advance buy a special cage. It is useful to you and in the future. For example, for visits to a veterinarian, for walks or other crossings. Believe me, for 12-15 years, during which the animal will have to survive, you will have to take it out of the apartment. Therefore, the cell will serve you for a long time and will justify the money spent.
In a cage, it's better to immediately put something fluffy and warm, so that the kitten was cozy on the road. In cold weather, try to insulate it so that the animal does not catch cold. Temperature changes and drafts are very dangerous for the child.
Do not forget that it is better to buy a kitten from people with a good reputation. It is advisable that it be issued with the veterinary passport, in which the vaccines are made. If the animal is not vaccinated, then in the near future, plan a trip to the veterinary clinic. Specify with the seller the mode of feeding and find out to what toilet filler and to what food the kid is accustomed.
The first days on a new place
As soon as you bring the kitten home, most likely, for the first time for several hours, he will sit somewhere in a corner and look at you with frightened eyes. This is normal. Do not rush things, give him time to get used to and get used to a new home. As soon as this happens, he himself quits. While the animal will be mastered, talk to him in a gentle voice. So he'll get used to you faster.
On the first day, limit the freedom of new settlers in one room, where you put bowls with food and water, and do not forget about the tray with filler. It is better to show the toilet to the baby right away, after all, for the way he, quickly lost his temper, and he needs to fix the need.
The first night can be difficult not only for the kitten, but for you. Most likely he will meow long and loud. Take his handcuffs, stroke and affectionately talk to him. So you will win his trust.
From the first days begin to teach the newcomer to save himself a spot for him. Otherwise, he will choose your bed without hesitation. Maybe you will want to soak up with him in the crib, but find the strength to overcome it. At first the animal will still jump to your bed, but after a couple of days it will get used to sleeping alone and choose a place for it.
Kittens are very shy, especially when they just get used to the knov conditions. They may be afraid of sonorous voices, the sound of dishes or other animals. So try not to make noise at first. Be sure to take care of the place for sharpening the nails. Otherwise your furniture will be scratched and decorated with fringe.
Drink, eat, go to the toilet ...
If the kitten's seller gets good, then he will give you a lot of valuable tips about the feeding regimen and the brand of feed. The first couple of weeks should be strictly adhered to these instructions. Otherwise, there may be a digestive disorder. Transfer to another diet should be gradually only after the full development of the pet in the house.
If you do not know what your pet used to eat, topo the special feed for kittens. It contains everything that is necessary for the growing organism, and the package gives instructions on feeding. Keep in mind that cats are those animals that eat when they want. Therefore, throughout the day the bowl should be filled with something. Do not forget to change the water every day. And here is another important point that should be paid attention to, misochki must always be in the same place.
On the first day, show the kitten where he should go to the toilet. Perhaps he will not like the place that you choose, and he will start looking for something else. From my experience I say, better move the tray to where the cat will go, if he does not like your place, he'll walk to the toilet horizontally. Although there is a hope to accustom him. For example, if you see that the kitten went wrong, take it and transfer it to the tray. After the celebration, reward him with a delicacy.
What is dangerous for a kitten house?
Our house hides in itself many dangers for the animal, and the most unexpected. The animal is small, so it can easily penetrate even into the smallest gap. Very often, animals are hurt by wine, because we did not keep track. They are no different from small children and from them you must constantly hide everything. At best, in time, the non-selected items can be flung around the apartment, at worst - the animal can get hurt (needles, scissors and other sharp objects).
In living rooms it is necessary to hide all small items (pins, buttons, threads and so on). A kitten can easily swallow them or choke them. If there are poisonous plants on the windowsills, then hide them above where the little one can not reach or give them to their friends. Try to hide all electrical cables from the animal, because a lot of them like to taste. To protect the kitten from diseases, keep it close to air conditioners. Do not forget about the open windows and balconies. Very often kittens fall out of them. Especially from metal-plastic, which stand on airing. The gap that remains is large enough and the puppy can squeeze her head into it, and if you try to get out, strangle yourself. Be careful with the entrance doors. Kittens like to sit next to them. Before closing them, make sure that there is no animal so as not to pinch the head, the foot and so on.
In the kitchen, too, be vigilant. Kittens love to climb a waste bin for the remains of fish, sausages, meat pits and so on. Therefore, it is best to hide the bucket in a closet or cover with a lid. Watch closely for the animal, when the gas stove works and when it has a boil. Unintentionally the cat can fall into a pan or catch fire. Watch for the food that is on the table. Smoking, hot, spicy and spicy foods are contraindicated to kittens.
In the bathroom, hide all household chemicals. Always check by washing the washing machine. Kittens often like to sleep in a drum, especially if there is linen there.
As you can see, the animal is a big responsibility. And if you are ready to take it upon yourself, then remember that as soon as the kitten appears in your house, you will not be bored anymore. You will play with your new favorite, admire and enjoy it. But do not forget that you still need to look after him. And if suddenly the animal gets sick, it will need care, which can only be shown by you. After all, you for him will become the most native person, just an anonymous host.
