Cats bring joy in our lives and are a wonderful companion and pet in our homes. They are playful and are excellent with children. A responsible cat owner entails more than just love and devotion - it also involves knowing how to care for cats.
This article will give you a few basic tips on how to care for your cats so that you can thoroughly enjoy your pets. After all, with your loveable furry family members it is all about being a responsible cat owner so you and your family will have years of enjoyment and devotion.
Caring for cats does involve a bit of basic care. Things such as ensuring that your cats are given fresh and clean water everyday. Also making sure that the water basin is clean as this will help prevent contamination and the possible spreading of diseases.
Caring for cats also means giving them the proper amount of nutrition by selecting cat food with good a nutritional value. Cats are naturally carnivorous, so they should be fed meat, fish, and poultry as their primary diet.
How to Toilet Train a Cat
Step 1: Start with a regular litter box placed in the bathroom by the toilet. Give the cat a few days and then raise it up using a phone book.
A couple of days after that, you will have to raise it again so you may have to be creative with items to use in order to lift it up. I used multiple phone books and then a crate as I lifted it higher.
That is our next step. Over time, your goal is to raise the litter box up until it is parallel to the toilet. The idea is to get the cat used to jumping up to relieve himself/herself.
Tip: Go slow. If your cat gets confused he or she may find a place in your home to "go" where they feel more secure. A couple of these accidents and it may be hard to break this bad habit so let the behavior of your pet dictate when to advance to the next step.... after a word from our sponsor....
Step 2: Move the litter box on top of the toilet and remove the phone books, boxes or crates.
After a couple of days of your pet jumping on top of the toilet to use the litter box, get your aluminum tray and flushable litter ready.
