Common Cat Health Questions
|
If you are having an idea to grow a cat as a pet,there are some questions regarding the cat health that has to be followed.It is important to decide whether you need to have a cat or kitten first.There are advantages on both the selections.If you adopt a kitten to grow,you will get a cat along with the kitten.It should be noted that kittens are very naughty and careful monitoring is need than adult cats.If you need to adopt feline since they are most liked than cats,it should be noted that even cats make a good companion to one.
Either way, you'll need to make sure your feline has the appropriate vaccinations. Your veterinarian will explain to you which shots your cat needs at what intervals. Vaccinations are often given during the kitten age at intervals. Just like children need booster shots, kittens also need booster shots. Examples of important vaccinations kittens need include feline panleukopenia, feline rhinotracheitis and of course, feline rabies. Even if your kitty will be staying indoors it is important to have them vaccinated.
Another common question many owners ask is how to keep fleas away. Fleas are extremely common pests for cats and dogs. These tiny critters hop onto your pet and feed on their blood. They also do the same with humans. When you are bitten by a flea you will notice a rash like bump which will itch badly. Fleas are hard to get rid of once your home is infested, but luckily they are easy to prevent. Your veterinarian can provide you with a product such as Frontline, which is applied to your cat's neck once per month. This product works to kill fleas, ticks and larvae.
Then there's litterbox training. Cats are easily litter trained as it is their natural instinct to bury their waste. All you need to do is provide your kitten or adult cat with a clean litterbox filled with the cat litter of your choice. Place your feline in the box and gently scratch their paws in the litter. Do this several times each day and they'll learn to use the box in no time. You will find many different kinds of litter on store shelves, including the clumping variety and natural cedar. There are even self cleaning litterboxes available. You want to fill the box with several inches of litter but don't overfill. The most important thing about litter training is to keep the box clean. Cats hate using dirty litterboxes and will often refuse to do so.
Another one of the most common cat health questions is to declaw or not to declaw. I would give an emphatic no when it comes to this issue. Some people choose to declaw their indoor cats to prevent scratching of furniture. A much more natural and humane solution to this problem is to provide your cat with an appealing scratching post to use. If your cat doesn't seem interested, sprinkle catnip on the post. They will soon discover that the texture of the scratching post is perfect for sharpening their claws and will learn to use the post rather than your furniture.
