What a Future Cat Owner Should Know: 5 Tips
27.04.2023 14:51
Any pet is first and foremost a responsibility, and only then pleasure and enjoyment.
It's good if a person is so passionate about caring for a pet that any fuss with it brings pleasure, but this rarely happens. Here's what you need to think about before getting a cat.
Advice one
The decision should not be made alone. It is necessary to find out what each family member thinks about the future pet. At the very least, you will have to distribute responsibilities – feeding, cleaning, care, treatment.
Tip two
With the appearance of an animal, your usual life can change dramatically. You won’t be able to leave a cat alone for a long time, which can affect the nature of your work, which involves frequent or long business trips.
Tip three
You need to be mentally prepared for an animal whose hunting instincts have not yet completely cooled down to appear in your apartment. The cat will look for a safe corner, will look for a place to rest, a way to have fun, but nothing should frighten the pet or cause stress.
Tip number four
You need to take care of your houseplants, which not only can die after a cat starts going into the flowerpot. Some flowers are poisonous to dogs and cats. So you will have to get rid of them or remove them.
Tip number five
The pet also has its own circle of interests, and you won’t be limited to just a bowl, tray, and bed. You’ll have to buy toys, brushes, tweezers, and a scratching post. You’ll also need shampoos, vitamins, medications, and other care products that a veterinarian can prescribe if the specific breed’s needs require it.
