Proper care of the kitten

If you are determined to take a kitten into the house, you should take care of the early purchase of some things that your pet needs from the very first minutes of the appearance in the house. These are bowls, a tray, a filler for a cat's toilet, a litter, a pencil sharpener, toys. If the kitten is very small (up to 1 month) - you need a baby formula. In advance, even before the kitten crosses your threshold, take care to remove the wires of electrical appliances from the floor, and the children are taught to think that the kitten is not a toy, he also has the right to rest and sleep. You should also look under your feet and gently close and open the doors.

Kittens are often given in someone else's house at a month's age. But this does not mean that you got a completely independent cat on your hands, at this age you need a very careful care of the kitten. 1 month is, you might say, still an infantile age. Despite the fact that the brisket cheerfully and briskly runs around, his stomach, heart, immunity, and psyche are not yet strengthened. Once in a foreign apartment, the kitten may fall into shock. Do not be surprised if the animal does not eat, drink, or go to the toilet in the first day. Let him sit in a dark corner. The less you touch it, the faster it will master. Children's curiosity, in the end, will entice him to explore the new world.

Choose a place in your apartment that is sufficiently secluded, shaded, with fresh air, but without drafts, and place there a box with low sides and litter. Do not buy a cat house before acquiring a kitten: some individuals suffer from congenital claustrophobia and will never love such designs, preferring to rest on a closet or sofa. Next to the cat's place, adjust the claw so that the animal, waking up, can satisfy its instinct to sharpen its claws. Care of the kitten also involves caring for its claws. Later you will need scissors for claws, but small kittens to cut their claws is not necessary.

The kitten should have at least 3 small bowls for eating. How to care for the monthly kitten and what to give him to eat - tells the owner of the cat, mother or breeder. Do not get carried away by solid fodder, even if the label says that it is a kitten feed. Small teeth can not yet crack dry balls, and a tender ventricle - they can digest. Let's make kashki from children's mixtures such as "Baby", boiled sausage "Children's", "Doctor's", boiled chicken meat. Care of the kitten requires frequent (5-6 times a day) feeding and small portions. Later it is necessary to increase portions and reduce the amount of feed.

The toilet tray should be with low sides so that the kitten can get there independently. Take from the owner of the mother cat or breeder some used filler and put it together with a clean filler in the tray. Kittens have a fast metabolism, and already 15 minutes after eating you can put them on a pot. Spend a wet finger in the kitten on the genitals - this will cause a reflex urination. Such a proper care of the kitten will ensure you subsequently a good smell in the apartment, and you and your cat will keep your nerves. Do not hit the kitten, if it is stuck outside the tray. If you found him behind this business, clap your hands and say in a loud voice "Fu!", Then plant in the tray.

Wool, ears, eyes and teeth also require your care. Care for a kitten, especially a small kitten, does not involve frequent bathing. If you picked up a street kitten, which you just need to wash, make sure that it does not subcool: let it dry out in your bosom. All cats, regardless of the breed, need to be combed. Ears and eyes should be cleaned at least once a month with cotton buds: the ears with baby oil, and the eyes with warm water.

Toys buy special for cats. Threads and a Christmas tree "rain" kittens can strike or swallow them. Training kittens should be given no more than 15 minutes daily, because they quickly get tired.
