Tips And Tricks To Help You With Your Cat

TIP! Any drape cords should be hidden so the cat cannot grab hold of them. It is easy for the cat to get his head caught among the cords when playing with them.

The famous poet T.S. Eliot wrote on cats. He said that cats were designed in a way that a home depends on them, and that is a true statement in a way. A cat is often a valuable member of the family, especially if it is healthy and happy. There are, however, many reports of cats being difficult and temperamental. Below, you’ll find suggestions that will help you and your cat live together in peace.

TIP! Your house can really get torn apart by a cat’s claws. If you have a cat that is wreaking havoc, buy a scratching post.

Your cat will want to climb into small spaces. If your cat gets caught on something wearing a traditional collar they could end up hurting their neck trying to break free. Purchase breakaway collars that will give if they are yanked tightly. This can save all “nine” of your cat’s lives.

TIP! Keeping your cat off of the counter can be difficult. They love to be able to look around from up high.

It can be hard to prevent your cat from jumping on the counter. Cats enjoy going into high places so that they can see what’s going on around the house. Provide your cat with a few high places it can uses. Your cat will not go on your counters if there’s a cat tower close to the kitchen.

TIP! Think about getting a microchip implanted in your cat. You may not have had trouble with your cat getting loose previously, but it can happen at any time by accident.

Microchips are an increasingly popular form of pet protection. You never know when your cat could get away from you. Tags and collars can help you cat return home, but cats can wiggle out of them or risk injury by snagging them on a tree branch or bush. A microchip will hold the contact information to reach you and it’s only about as big as a piece of rice. All shelters and vets have scanners to ensure your cat gets home safely.

TIP! Cats can have nocturnal tendencies. Your cat will probably be very active during the night.

Being the owner of a cat isn’t always the easiest thing to be, but it is very rewarding. The advice above can be beneficial to the owner of a lazy cat, the owner of a hyperactive cat, or the owner of something in between. You’re going to be hearing your cat purring instead of meowing to get your attention.
