Do flea collars really work? My experience has been that they, but they don t hurt either so we can look at form and fit. Fit is the most important consideration when buying a cat collar. If the collar is too tight it can cut off the cat s air and blood supply. Choking your cat is not a good thing!! If it s too loose the collar can get caught up on branches and fences while your cat is out playing. It would also help if you keep those paws clean and trim their nails. You can go to a pet store and buy a nail trimmer specially designed for cats. Ask your veterinarian for the proper way to trim your cats nails so as not to hurt them in the process. If you find that your cat exhibits a not-so-healthy clawing habit, you may go for the option of declawing your cat. A ball dispensing cat nip or any other small treat once in 2 to 4 hours (preset depending upon the need of your cat) is one of the accessories which are fun to watch when the cat plays and eat. Colorful place mats for the cat with some hilarious or funny drawing make a great gift and liven up the cat pen. Clicks, Treat, Click Treat do this for a few times until you see the cat coming for the treat on the click. Next marking the behavior: You will have to show the cat the hoop. Once the cat touches the hoop, click, treat. Then show the cat to go though the hoop once it does click, treat. Continue to do this until the cat goes though the hoop on its own or your command. Before bringing home the new kitten, take her to your veterinarian to get her checked and vaccinated, kittens have weak immune systems and are likely to pick up something at the shelter or cattery. Consider adopting a cat of the opposite sex to your existing cat, this will avoid same sex rivalry and associated problems. Many cat owners do not have a problem with them, others realize that communicating with them is necessary and that in some cases, it isn t the right choice. Vocal/Noisy Cat Breeds: Siamese, Burmese, Korat Quiet Cat Breeds: American Curl, Scottish Fold, Somali Attitude is your next determining factor.
