Are You Ready to Have a New Cat?

Sometimes the cat appears in your house unexpectedly. You meet a homeless kitten on the street, feel sorry for it, and bring it to your home. Or someone you know, for some reason needs to get rid of the cat, and it finds itself under the threat of living on a street or in a shelter, and you take the cat out of sympathy for the animal. You know that you do the right thing, and this is indeed true. But you bring the cat home and realize that both of you have to overcome a long period of adjustment and getting used to each other. And here you have to show patience and love, because the cat may feel frustrated, anxious, or on the contrary, it could be depressed because of new home, new environment, changes in nutrition, home-sickness, and many other things. And in this case only time, understanding and caring will help you to get along and become friends with your pet. Lovely kitten Well, what if the decision to take the cat to the house is not spontaneous? You have to make a balanced decision, the acceptance of which should involve all members of the family. Choosing a cat essentially depends on the purpose for which you need it. If you are single and need a companion, you should choose a breed that fits your temperament, so you are never bored with each other, or vice versa, so that the cat does not annoy you by excessive activity if you like peace and order. Or maybe you want to demonstrate your pet at shows? Then thought should be given to which breed, in your opinion, is the most presentable, who will teach the cat to the exhibition process. You may need the services of a professional trainer or breeder. Well and if you want to devote yourself to a thoroughbred breeding, you need a lot of knowledge in the field of selection and training of cats, and you will need to work closely with your veterinarian to prevent problems. Think it over, who will take the main care of a cat. The animal needs a balanced diet, rest, walks, trips to the vet, etc. And it's better if all of this will be controlled by one member of the family. If you entrust your child with care of a cat, you should still monitor how comfortable the animal feels, how timely is feeding and cleaning. When the child begins to have other interests, promptly take care of the pet yourself. Consider also what the conditions of life you can offer to your cat and seek advice from breeders. Some active cats require space for games and hunting, while calm cats, such as phlegmatic long-haired breeds can feel great in a small apartment. If you already have pets in the house, make sure that the new cat is not terrorized by the dog, that a war for territory is not started with another cat already living with your, that new cat does not diversify its menu by your budgie, hamster or goldfish. Of course, you should calculate your financial ability to support a cat, because it includes not only high-quality feeding but also the care items, the cost of the veterinarian, participation in exhibitions and sometimes spoiled furniture and other expenses. And if you or anyone in your family suffers from allergies or asthma, you have to give up the idea of having a cat. Rate this Article
