Tips for Cat Parents: Everything You Need for Felines
How do I know if my new cat loves me?
Cats express their deep affection by simply being present with the person they cherish the most. While some cats may display more warmth than others, a beautiful sign of your cat’s love is when they blink slowly at you, a gentle gesture that shows their trust and bond with you. Our article Pet Parenthood: Preparation Guide + Helpful Tips for the New Cat Parent has additional information for how you can ensure a comfortable and happy transition for your new cat!
How can I get my cat to stop spraying?
Cats engage in spraying behavior for several reasons, with the most prevalent being a urinary tract infection (UTI). To eliminate potential medical issues as the cause of this behavior, it is imperative to consult a veterinarian for a thorough examination and diagnostics. Additionally, spraying may occur as a response to stress or abrupt changes in their feeding routine.
How do I leash train my cat?
Leash training a cat can be a bit of a challenge, and it’s completely normal to feel unsure about it. Some cats may readily embrace this new adventure, while others might need more time and patience. To ensure a positive experience, begin with a cat-safe harness that’s comfortable for your feline friend, a lightweight leash, a clicker trainer to encourage good behavior, and some delicious high-value treats to reward their efforts.
I want to go on a vacation. Can I leave my cats home alone?
It is crucial that when you go on vacation, your cats should be boarded at a reputable pet care facility, a veterinarian’s office, or through a qualified pet sitter.
How can I help my cat and dog get along?
To ensure harmonious cohabitation between cats and dogs, each pet needs their own designated “space,” and they should only be introduced after a thorough scent swap lasting a few weeks. Following this, introduce each animal in a controlled manner, carefully supervising the interaction and gradually extending the time they spend together. You can read our multi-pet post for more!
