Hot to selecting kitten

The thought of bringing home a new kitten can be at once exciting and overwhelming. Here are some kitten-specific suggestions that will help make your new friend's welcome a warm and lasting one.

One of the first things you need to consider is whether you want a purebred or mixed-breed kitten. The greatest advantage of buying a purebred kitten or cat is that their appearance and, to a lesser degree, personality, is likely to fit the profile of that particular breed. So a well-bred Siamese is more likely to be vocal, mischievous, and demanding of your attention.

If you simply want a family pet, why not consider mixed-breed kittens and cats? The most thoroughly mixed of these are categorized as either "domestic shorthairs" or "domestic longhairs".

Mixed-breed kittens and cats are generally inexpensive or free, while purebred kittens are sometimes quite costly (although, of course, no pet is truly "free" as responsible ownership includes the cost of quality food and veterinary care).

Kitten Food

Don't feed your kitten dog food. Cats require taurine which is not contained in dog food. Without it, they can develop heart disease or go blind.

Don't feed your kitten table scraps, nor supplement his diet with milk (causes indigestion and diarrhea). You will encourage begging habits, and your kitten will fill up on foods which don't contain the nutrients he needs.

Don't feed your kitten liver, canned tuna or other canned fish intended for humans. These foods can create an imbalance of vitamins A, D, and E, which can lead to serious conditions.

Do
feed your kitten a well-balanced premium food specifically designed for kittens. These youngsters need more proteins for building strong bones and muscles, and more calories to keep up with their high energy levels, than older cats. You can supplement with a high quality dry kitten food later, but in the early days he will need the extra calories of canned food for energy and growth.

how to buy a great cat

1. Moneymata_duit


You can buy a great cat if you have enough money. Money is important thing in this world. You can buy a wonderful, tremendous, funny, lovable, charismatic cat if you have enough money. If you don’t have money, don’t give up! You can burn your brain to make a mangy cat be a cat which look like a queen. How can it be? ha3. You must make a little queen’s cloak with little crown. And put it on your mangy cat, and abacadabraa! Your mangy cat look like an little queen! ha3babi_ngakak.


2. a great sight to look a great catmata_duit2


However, you must choose a great cat to be your favorite and lovable pet. okay, I’ll guide how to choose a great cat.


a. she must have four legs


hahaha66.. If you want to look your cat can running wild like a crazy devil, you must choose a cat with four legs. But if you want to have an unique cat with 3 legs or maybe 2 legs and look your unique cat jumping around, you can buy it. But if you can’t found a seller who sell a cat which 2/3 legs, please DON’T CUT a normal cat’s leg/s. But if you want to a have a pet who jump wild in your yard, I suggest you to not buy cat but you must buy rabbit or kangaroo.


b. she must have a two eyes


yeaahh.. a normal cat must have two eyes to hunt a mouse or to wink a masculine cat. But if you wanna make your cat like an pirate with one eye (the another eye is covered by something), you can choose a cat with one eyes. And please don’t make your normal cat blind by poke her eyes with your finger! I ever seen a persian cat with two color in her eyes, an yellow eye and green eye in another side. it’s unique and her price is very extremely expensive.


c. she must have paw


hmm.. a normal cat have paw at their legs. The paw can be used when she climb to tree. The paw can be very dangerously if she scratch your eyes! You can blind. So don’t put your pet legs in your eyes!


3. buy cat at right placeyociexpress08


It’s a great idea to buy cat in pet store. Don’t search cat in bookstore, carpenter, jewelry store, or restaurant.

Cat is Funny

Domestic cats, especially young kittens, are known for their love of play. This behavior mimics hunting and is important in helping kittens learn to stalk, capture and kill prey. Many cats cannot resist a dangling piece of string, or a piece of rope drawn randomly and enticingly across the floor. This well known love of string is often depicted in cartoons and photographs, which show kittens or cats playing with balls of yarn. It is probably related to hunting instincts, including the common practice of kittens hunting their mother's and each other's tails. If string is ingested, however, it can become caught in the cat’s stomach or intestines, causing illness, or in extreme cases, death.

Due to possible complications caused by ingesting a string, string play is sometimes replaced with a laser pointer's dot, which some cats will chase. While caution is called for, there are no documented cases of feline eye damage from a laser pointer, and the combination of precision needed and low energy involved make it a remote risk. A common compromise is to use the laser pointer to draw the cat to a prepositioned toy so the cat gets a reward at the end of the chase. A regular flashlight with a well-focused light spot has been commonly used in such play for decades, preceding the availability of consumer laser pointers.

Cats will also engage in play fighting, with each other and with human partners. Humans "wrestling" with a supine cat, however, should be wary: if the cat is overstimulated or startled it may decide that the play has turned serious and cease to pull its punches; this can lead to serious scratches and occasionally even bites.

Cat is Fighter

When engaged in feline-to-feline combat for self-defense, territory, reproduction, or dominance, fighting cats make themselves appear more impressive and threatening by raising their fur and arching their backs, thus increasing their apparent size. Cats also behave this way while playing. Attacks usually comprise powerful slaps to the face and body with the forepaws as well as bites, but serious damage is rare; usually the loser runs away with little more than a few scratches to the face, and perhaps the ears. Cats will also throw themselves to the ground in a defensive posture to rake with their powerful hind legs. Normally, serious negative effects will be limited to possible infections of the scratches and bites; though these have been known to sometimes kill cats if untreated. In addition, such fighting is believed to be the primary route of transmission of feline immunodeficiency virus(FIV).

Sexually
active males will usually be in many fights during their lives, and often have decidedly battered faces with obvious scars and cuts to the ears and nose. Not only males will fight; females will also fight over territory or to defend their kittens, and even neutered cats will defend their (smaller) territories aggressively.
