Cats Diet with Basic Nutrition

2010-03-30T07:47:00.001-07:00

I already have shared some experience of how to handle cats and how to care them. Now, I want to share my experiences about healthy and nutrition diet for cats.

Most of the cats like to eat meat because it is their favorite diet and food. But you should have to care their diet in the proper value with vitamins and minerals.

We all know that there is no way to hunt for food to feed our cats. There are many other ways to arrange large number of nutritionally balanced foods. You should always try to feed your cat’s good quality of food.

Cats don’t like varieties of foods. So, you can make a chart for their diet and healthy foods. Requirement of nutrition food can be judged by age and size. There can be a little difference between your adult cats and kittens.

You should just know that an average number of cats are needed a cup of foods on the daily basis. You can just avoid feeding all types of food especially which are made for human being.

You should switch from one type to another type of foods in a gradual process. If you buy a cat from market, read their direction very carefully.

If your cats and kitten diet are healthy and nutrition, you can keep them healthy and happy for a long time.

Make Your Home Useful for Cats

2009-08-25T01:13:00.001-07:00

Keeping cats as pet are not very hard but keeping them very carefully is hard. Now, most of the people of world, like to keep a cat as pet. They buy cats, adopt cats or get cats as gift. Keeping cats are known as a good status also. There are many people who keep cats bet they don’t know how to keep them as safe.

There are many opinions and thought over the internet about keeping safe of cats or kittens but all are not useful. You have to select some of theme which is useful. There are many thought also to keep cats in a special home. What is special home for cats? How can we make our house very useful for cats? There are many questions these types of. I think people should think over that.

Yes, I enjoying with my cats and I have kept my house very useful to live them. What I have done in my house to them, I want to share that. I had kept my eyes on them for a long time to know what they do every time. I watched they are hunting, pouncing, scratching, jumping, climbing, exploring, running, bird- and squirrel-watching, and sleeping.

This was the inspiration of my ideas. I had already done many things for them like - eating good food, drinking fresh water, and using a clean box but these were not enough. So, I decided to do something to keep them free in my house.

I bought some toys which are related to my cats – teddy bear, cats cartoon, small boxes and some tables. I arranged all these things properly in my room according to their activities.

I noticed cats and arranged all the things according their conveniences. I placed cartoon in a corner. I placed teddy bear in center of my room. I place small boxes over the rack of my room. Lastly, I placed all tables in the corner of my room. All these stuffs made my kittens very active. That idea was very proper to keep cats in my room as safe.

On the selection of Cats

2009-03-05T20:01:00.000-08:00

Before buying a cat you should decide that what types of cats you should select. You need to know selection ideas about cats. To know the kind of cats selection here is an article:

"So you're seriously thinking about getting your first cat, and you are sure you want a cat in your life. Splendid! You may have some preconceived notions that you want a particular breed of cat, or that you want a kitten instead of an adult kitty. But before that important decision, do some homework. Like life itself, there are many factors involved in choosing a cat, some of which you may never have considered. Here's the help you need in making that decision. On the other hand, you may find yourself lucky enough to be chosen by the cat of your future.

Male vs Female

Personality-wise, there really isn't a lot of difference between the sexes, if they are neutered. Whole male (unneutered) cats will fight for territory if outdoors, and indoors will liberally spray their strong scent on walls and curtains, to mark their territory. Whole females will also spray on occasion. Worse yet, they will make themselves and you miserable each time they go into season, with loud yowls and bizarre body gyrations.

On the other hand, once spayed, their personalities will improve, if anything. I've known male cats to be loving and loyal, and they are my usual preference. Other people swear by female cats as felicity purrsonified. Bottom line is that it doesn't make a lot of difference. You'll want to look for personality first, then if you find several nice kitties, narrow it down to sex, if that's important to you."

Toys for your cats from Cats International

2009-02-08T21:09:00.000-08:00

Recently, I read one article about the toys for your cars from cat’s international sites. The article is very useful for the cat’s pet owner. It will be helpful in the understanding of how to care cats. I needn’t to explain more about the article because I am going to show you that article on my pet cats blog below:

"In his highly entertaining and informative book, How to Get Your Cat to Do What You Want, Warren Eckstein states that you should have no less than two dozen toys for your cat. Cats, being the intelligent creatures they are, need stimulation. Of course, all 24 toys should not be available to Kitty at all times, but they should be rotated with some being retired for awhile. When they are taken out again, they will seem new and exciting.

It is not necessary to spend a fortune at the pet store to please your cat's playful streak. Some of the most popular toys are freebies or are home-made. Try out some of the following on your favorite feline:

Lightweight items for the "catch and kill" game, such as balled-up tissue or waxed paper.
Plastic rings that hold down the lids of plastic milk jugs--great for sliding along the kitchen floor.
A couple of ping pong balls in the bathtub--purrfect for feline raquetball.
The centers of toilet paper, tape, and calculator rolls, empty plastic film containers, nuts in their shells--all useful for batting practice.
Cotton socks of varying sizes stuffed with cotton balls and catnip and tied at the end.

Cats love hide-outs. From time-to-time let your cat explore a paper grocery bag (without handles) or a cardboard box. Never let your cat play in a plastic bag due to the danger of suffocation. More about unsafe toys...read more..."

How to Learn Cats Speaking

2009-01-14T20:09:00.000-08:00

Recently, I read an article on cat’s communication and language. I think we can learn how to speak our cats. It is not easy but it is very interesting I think. Read below a big article on the subject I am sure you will like that:

"There are at least nineteen different types of "miaow" which differ in pitch, rhythm, volume, tone, pronunciation and the situations in which they are used. The familiar purr is used for contentment and also for self-reassurance.

A loud purr is an invitation for close contact. Injured or sick cats (and even cats which are dying) purr. Interestingly, the frequency of the purr has been shown to soothe the cat and to promote healing. The "miaow" and purr are just two of at least thirteen different categories of sound made by cats: caterwaul, chatter, chirrup (chirp), cough-bark (rare in pet cats), growl, hiss (with or without spit). meow, mew (of kittens), purr, scream, squawk, yowl and idiosyncratic sounds (i.e. sounds peculiar to an individual cat).

There are probably over 30 different sounds. The number of sounds a cat makes depends on how much the cat communicates with (a) other cats and (b) other non-cats e.g. humans. Cats which communicate with humans a lot have a wider spoken vocabulary because they learn that humans understand sounds but cannot easily understand feline body language. Cats learn which sounds elicit the desired response from their human companions and some cats have a wider "vocabulary" than others. Cats which communicate mostly with other cats use mainly on body language and scent - this is their "native language". Their body language is subtle, but many owners and cat workers learn to read the more obvious cues.

House Cats, Feral Cats and Big Cats

Housecats develop a wide variety of sounds to alert humans to their needs and intentions. Many are variations on mother/kitten meow or chirp sounds which the cat has adapted in order to "speak" to non-cats. This is quite logical since the cosseted housecat remains dependent on humans i.e. a permanent kitten. Others are adult sounds such as the caterwaul (used in a sexual or territorial context) or the cough-bark (a fear/anger sound usually accompanied by a front paw stamp).

Cats kept with other cats are communicating with each other all the time through body language and scent. They are communicating with their owners all the time too, it's our problem that we can't understand their language. Cats work out which sounds elicit suitable responses from humans (positive feedback) and learn to make those sounds in order to achieve a particular aim e.g. for a door to be opened.

Since humans are in charge, it makes sense for the cat to learn to communicate vocally though it must sometimes be frustrating to a cat which has clearly communicated its mood using facial expression to have to explain things vocally to humans. It is the feline equivalent of speaking slowly and loudly to a foreigner!"

How to Choose a Cat – Article and Tips

2008-10-15T03:28:00.000-07:00

To choose a cat before adopting that as a pet you should care something which is here -

"Before you actually get a cat, figure out what kind of cat you want: kitten or grown-up cat; longhair or shorthair; purebred or alley cat; male or female; tabby, patched, or solid-color.

If you've got your heart set on a particular size, age, sex, breed, or look of cat, do a little extra research before you set out to find one. You might be surprised to find that the look you love doesn't fit well with your lifestyle. For example, if you like a quiet home, a Siamese may not be the cat for you: They're notorious "talkers." Likewise, a Persian is gorgeous to look at, but unless you're committed to do almost daily grooming (or to pay a professional to do it every week or so), a nice shorthair cat might be a better idea. Do you travel a lot? Then you need a more mature cat -- at least eight months old or more. Two cats are better still so they can keep each other company while you're away.

Cat or Kitten?

Everybody loves kittens. They're cute, funny, and cuddly -- there's no doubt about it. But don't make the mistake that they're "babies." By the time a kitten is ready to be away from his mother and live in your home, he can walk, run, jump, and climb like the feline equivalent of a ten-year-old child. What's more, if you get a kitten today, in just a few short months you'll have a full-grown cat -- a cat who will live an average of 12 to 15 years...Read More

"6 Important Cat Facts" for My Cat

2008-10-06T01:46:00.000-07:00

There are some 6 important cat facts from a online cat site,

“Some of the items a cat owners needs are readily apparent: cat food, a litter box, and a cat, for starters! Others only become apparent as necessities after trial and error. As a new cat owner, learn from the experience of others. Read on to discover details about the most common cat items, and learn about others that will make your life as a new cat owner a lot easier. Having all the right items in place before bringing your cat home will help her feel welcomed and comfortable from the minute she sets paw in the door.

1. Food-Related Items

First item of business is a place to put the food. Metal or ceramic containers for food and water are best. Some cats may develop a chin rash related to a plastic food dish. A good option for busy cat owners would be automatic food and water servers, which keep your cat's meals fresh even when you're out and about.

For food itself, don't buy too much before you bring your cat home. Keep your cat's nutritional needs in mind, as kittens need extra nutrients for growth and overweight cats may need a restricted diet. With this in mind, purchase several brands and flavors of food in both canned and dry varieties for your cat to try. Once you figure out your cat's favorites, keep those in stock.

2. Litter Box

The use of a litter box is one of the many benefits of being a cat owner. Most popular nowadays is the clumping clay type of litter, because it clumps around urine, making the litter box easy to clean. However, clumping clay can be harmful if ingested, so it should not be used with kittens and may not always be appropriate for adult cats. Plant-based litter is an alternative option.

As for the litter box itself, many shapes and sizes are available. Start simply with a plastic box that fits your cat—adult cats need a sizeable one with high sides, since they tend to throw the litter around a bit. Kittens, on the other hand, need one that is low enough that they can climb in.

3. Grooming Tools

Properly groomed cats are healthier and happier. Grooming can also be an opportunity for you and your cat to bond. Grooming a cat's hair helps prevent hairballs and keeps your house cleaner, which any allergic visitors would greatly appreciate. To groom hair, purchase a rubber-backed pin brush and a fine-tooth comb.

Clipping your cat's nails also helps prevent overgrown toenails and excessive scratching. For your cat's comfort and ease of use, purchase a nail clipper specifically designed for cats.

4. Cat Toys

Cats and cat owners love to play. One of the simplest and favorite cat toys is the “dangling lure” variety. Before purchasing, be certain that all parts are sturdily connected and won't be a choking hazard for your cat.

Other than the dangling lure, more expensive and creative toys are constantly being invented. Your only limits are space and budget!

5. Cat Carrier

Although a cardboard carrier from the pet store or shelter offers a short-term solution, you will be carrying your cat for many years to come. Even if your cat will live indoors, you will still need to take him out occasionally for vet appointments or possibly for boarding if you take a long trip. For long-term use, purchase a sturdy plastic carrier with a door that latches. Put a favorite blanket in the carrier and your cat will feel comfortable and secure in his travels.

6. Scratching Post

This is an item that new cat owners may not think of, but veteran cat lovers swear by! Cats will scratch—it's in their nature. Providing your cat with a scratching post can help save your furniture and drapes and keep your cat happy. Like toys, scratching posts are available in a wide variety of shapes, styles, and prices. Many purchased at a store also have catnip scent to attract your cat's attention. Choose a scratching post based on your home, your cat's temperament, and your aesthetic preferences.

Now that you have armed yourself with the six basic cat items, you can bring your cat into a comfortable and welcoming home.

Best foods for my cats

2008-09-29T03:33:00.000-07:00

Once day I thought what can be best foods for my cats? I visited some online magazine but I found a article on that. This is on best food if I have a cat,

"...Your pet's health is the important thing, so providing a healthy diet for your cat can help promote physical well being and prevent unnecessary medical condition. However, there are so many provisions available that assert to offer your cat that suitable nourishment. Which ones are best? Dry cat food is unmistakably the finest food form out there. It can provide the essential nutrients and minerals that a feline needs, just as long as your pet has plenty to drink, as dry food does not provide the necessary water that cats need. Dry cat food offer the greatest combination of nutrients, as well as sustaining fit teeth and gums for your cat. However, wet cat food tends to be kitty's favorite type of food, as it is quite similar to the texture of the organic food they would eat in the wild. However, wet cat food does very little to help maintain good dental hygiene and can be smelly and unhygienic for you and your family.

Trying to remember that our four-legged friends are an integral piece of our family means we must remember that they are not us and do not have similar dietary requirements. A vegan diet is not healthy choice for maintaining your pet's health. A feline in the wild exists on a diet that is mostly meat based, that is, cats feed on other animal's meat and tissue. Cats are carnivorous, which means kitty will needs a diet high in protein. Feeding kitty vegetables and grains will not provide the proper nourishment to sustain a healthy pet. While kitty may need the occasional green to keep them regular, cats need protein and calcium they received from their carnivorous diet. These are nutrients that they cannot receive from a vegan diet.

Giving kitty a raw meat diet is not advisable either. If you want an organic diet for your cat, it is best to consult your veterinarian to help design an organic diet for your cat. By asking a veterinarian, you can ensure that your kitty is getting the proper nutrients it needs to ensure the best for your pet's health. While protein is the main constituent of their diet, raw meat does not have the absolute composition of nutrients that your cat can receive from dry food or a well balanced organic, physician designed diet. If you wish your cat to have a more organic diet, there are plenty of resources that can aid you in drawing up an organic diet for your feline that has the entire, essential nutrimental requirements it needs for a joyful, fit lifestyle..."
