The appearance of a kitten in the house is a great happiness for the family.

If a cat eats too much food, it will get fat. And this is dangerous for health.

You shouldn't hope that your furry friend will stop eating on time. Cats, like people, sometimes find it difficult to stop if the food is tasty.

Therefore, monitor the calorie content of your pet's diet.

Reluctance to litter train

It is unlikely that a kitten will acquire the necessary skill on its own.

Reluctance to vaccinate

Many owners forget about the importance of vaccination for cats. But the fluffy one needs to be protected from dangerous diseases.

Reluctance to train

"Why train a cat? It's not a dog!"

This is what many novice cat owners will obviously think. And in vain.

It is necessary to train the cat and teach it simple commands.

Firstly, the process helps to train the pet's mind.

Secondly, the cat will behave better and obey the person: punishment will not be necessary.

Reluctance to play

Games are an important element of human-pet interaction.

Play with your furry friend if you want him to stay happy.
