Grooming and Cleaning

p4.jpg (81660 bytes)Cats wash themselves and their kittens, but cats and kittens still need your help with nail clipping, ear cleaning, cleaning the litter box, and combing their hair. After giving your cat a bath make sure you dry it and comb it. Even a clean cat can become a dirty cat without proper care. You need to watch your cat for fleas because fleas will get into your house. They will bite you and your cat.

 

How to take care of your cat

When cats are little they are very playful, but when they get old they get pretty lazy. Sometimes some can be playful. A playful cat likes toys, playing hide and go seek, and using a scratching post for scratching.

Cats are good hunters. If they see a mouse cats usually run after it.

If you have a cat that uses a litter box, you should clean it about once a day.

If your cat gets mean and starts scratching and biting all the time, you have to take it to the vet to get him or her a shot.

 

Handling With care

Tender, newborn cats must be handled very gently without dropping, stepping on, lying on, tail squeezing, or teasing.

 

A Cat Needs Someone to Understand its Cat Talk!
