Anyone who thinks that having a cat in the house should not cause any troubles or problems and that it is the most domestic creature should know a few things before getting a pet.

For yourself, you need to make sure that the decision was made consciously and that there will be no misunderstandings with your pet in the future.

There are 5 important points that all cat owners should know.

1. Socialization

In fact, it would be correct to call cats asocial creatures. Instincts are at work – by nature, they are still wild creatures. Therefore, it will be important to tame a cat to contact with people, and this takes time.

2. Finance

In any case, a pet is an expense. Expenses for food, medicine, vaccinations and eliminating the consequences in the form of damaged furniture and peeling wallpaper.

3. Classes

It is important for a cat to do something to maintain normal physical fitness. You need to play with your pet, buy toys, and so on. Otherwise, the animal will find an outlet for its accumulated energy, and the owner is unlikely to be happy about it.

4. House

An apartment is not yet a personal space. You need to create a home for your pet, where the cat would feel safe. If you don’t create one, the cat will find a place in the closet on the shelf with linen and then you will have to collect the fur in clumps.

5. Obligations

This is the most important point. A cat is not a mouse or a hamster. With proper care, pets live up to 20 years. Only with normal relationships can you count on happy years of life together with your pet.
