Cats

Cats have been our beloved pets for millenniums. Looking at ancient pictures, there is almost always a cat in the picture. Owning a cat is different from any other pet, cats almost instantaneously bond with the person or family they live with. That bond is so strong, that should something happen to someone in the family, the cat will show grief and mourn the loss.

Your cats diet is very important to keep him or her healthy. The diet should consist of protein, carbohydrates, fats and vitamins. It is very important that you give your cat a mixture of dry and wet cat food. This is because wet food contains many more vitamins then dry food, however dry food can help to reduce tartar and plaque build up on your cats teeth.

Milk is also a big part of your cats diet. Kittens, just like children, need the vitamins in milk to build strong healthy bones. It is important to understand that too much milk can give your cat diarrhea so limiting it is necessary. You should always have a bowl of clean fresh water available to your cat at all times.

In the past, kitty toys have been pretty generic. A toy mouse on a string and your cat would play for hours. Today however, kitty toys are very sophisticated. There are interactive kitty toys that will make your children jealous and want to play with them. however it seems like the old fashioned, toy ball filled with catnip is just as likely to make you kitty jump for joy as the expensive toys on the market today. It is important to note that any toy that has an exposed elastic band is not safe for any cat or kitten and should be avoided.
