Here is a good place for hints, training, tips and information on how to take care of your little friend. Enjoy

bulletEveryday Caring - Basic care for your cat requires knowledge of its daily habits and individual personality. Your cat needs your attention and love just as much as dogs and other pets. 

A well cared for cat will usually live a long and healthy life, bringing a great deal of joy into its owner's life. For this reason you should take special care of your feline and make every effort to educate yourself regarding its proper treatment.

New owners should take their cat to a veterinarian for a health check-up. Should you feel that your cat has a health problem, never hesitate to consult your veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Many veterinarians will also provide information and tips regarding the everyday care of your cat.

One reason for the popularity of cats is their reasonable maintenance requirements. The feeding, grooming and health care needs of the average cat are straightforward and rewarding for owners.

bulletFood and Cat Diet - You can take an animal from the wild, but deep within your cat lurks a predator's instinct, the hunter's desire resisting domestication. This proud heritage transforms your cat; it isn't just a mouth to feed, but an appetite to satisfy . . .
 
Unlike their canine counterparts, cats will not eat everything their owners give them. To ensure a happy and healthy cat, you need to understand both what your cat wants and what he needs from his diet. Just as we humans need to adjust our diets to guard against diseases like
Osteoporosis, our cats need the same attention.

Cats and Diets is here to provide you with information to help you make the right choices for you and your feline companion.

If you're looking to save time and money when purchasing your
pet supplies, visiting a reputable on-line retailer is a quick and convenient way of finding what you need to satisfy your cat's desires

The Nature of the Cat

Independent and proud animals, cats strut with an air of indifference and immunity, often oblivious to the chaos they themselves may have created.  As hard as they try though, even cats are susceptible to the anxieties and stresses inherent in modern life.
 
cat, who me?Similar to people, different cat personalities may respond quite differently to potential stresses such as visits to the veterinarian, travel, vacation-boarding or moving to a new residence. Consider how confusing the introduction of new people or pets could be to your cat. What you might consider a "minor change," could be upsetting to your favorite feline.

While these plants have been shown to lack any harmful systemic or gastrointestinal effects, even non-toxic plant material eaten in excess isn't good for your cat.

This behavior may produce signs similar to those that appear with the ingestion of toxic plants. Vomiting, diarrhea and depression are common.
 
The difference is that these symptoms are mild and self-limiting (they resolve on their own), and in most cases do not require medical attention.
