When a kitten appears in the family, this event brings a lot of joy and pleasant trouble. Many owners face various difficulties associated with the upbringing and proper care of their pet. Before you get a kitten, you should learn about how to care for kittens, and purchase all the items that are necessary to ensure the normal functioning of the animal: a tray and a filler for it, a bowl for food and water, a toy and a scratcher. When the kitten appeared in the dwelling, it should immediately be introduced to the territory, show the place where he will sleep, put in a tray so that he sniffs it. In the first weeks, you should carefully monitor that the kitten goes to the toilet in a strictly designated place. To do this, you need to track the right moment and transfer it to the tray, so that it is fixed in his memory that these things should be done only in this place.
An important point in the maintenance of the kitten is its feeding. It is very important to choose the right diet so that the growing body can receive all the necessary vitamins and minerals. Nutritional advice can be obtained from experienced owners who will tell you how to care for kittens. Any kitten needs affection and kindness, so during the growing up period he should be given as much attention and care as possible. Novice owners should remember that we take care of kittens during the game.
All kittens need regular medical examination. Each owner should carefully monitor the health status of their pet. It is necessary to regularly carry out planned deworming, to do the necessary vaccinations. The area of the eyes and ears is also in need of regular inspection. In case of formation of a large amount of sulfur in the ears, carefully remove it with a cotton swab dipped in hydrogen peroxide. Once a month, an oral examination should be performed. A healthy kitten should have teeth without damage and food plaque, and the color of the gums should be pink. You can also consult a veterinarian on how to care for kittens.
Almost all owners of cats face a problem when their animals begin to spoil furniture, sharpening their claws about it. This inconvenience can be avoided if the owners know how to care for the kittens. To train a kitten from childhood to sharpen its claws on a special claw, you should draw the attention of the baby to it by sprinkling it with a few drops of valerian. If the kitten continues to show an increased interest in household furniture, you need to regularly cut its nails with the help of special tweezers sold in any pet store.
If the acquired kitten is long-haired, then it is necessary to accustom it from childhood to combing. Then there will be no problems with the fact that he will not be given into his hands to rid him of fallen wool. Caring for
Persian kittens provides for regular procedures associated with combing with the help of a curler.
At the time of kitten's puberty, the owners must decide for themselves whether they will mate their pet. For cats, there are two options for preventing an unwanted pregnancy:
hormone therapy or sterilization. For cats, only castration is possible. In any case, you should first consult a veterinarian.
