Cat Pet
What do we need to know about a pet cat?
Our family has been considering a pet cat for some time now and I want to know what there is to know about pet cats. Like how much they shed, how much they eat and stuff like that.
They shed a lot; more noticeably if long-haired, and the long-haired tend to mat more, but shorthairs shed too. Brushing helps cut it down. Keeping cats off the furniture you sit on before work helps too (or having a lint roller…) Brushing also helps cut down on hairballs, though other preventative measures, such as occasional doses of Petromalt or other hairball remedy, help too.
They don’t eat a lot — they’re small, after all — and generally don’t overeat like dogs often do, so if you want ease of care you can just put out a bowl of good dry cat kibble, and another bowl of water, that they can eat from anytime.
What’s usually more fuss is the litter box. I recommend getting clumping cat litter and scooping it frequently; cuts down on smell and is easier than changing out a whole box of regular litter. You want to maintain that well, not only for your own sake (pfhew!) but because cats are a bit picky; would *you* want to go to the bathroom in a stinky, messy toilet?
Definitely get the beastie spayed or neutered; not only do you no longer have to worry about caring for, vet bills for, and then finding homes for kittens, but it cuts back on problem behavior in adult cats too; females in heat act odd and are often noisy, while unfixed males often spray (ew). Either are more likely to dash out the door due to hormonal urges.
Do get a scratching post; discourage scratching elsewhere (it may be a bit of a learning process). Make a loud, sudden noise, run at them, or squirt with water as discouragement, but be sure it’s as they’re doing the bad behavior or only just right after, or they won’t associate the crime with the punishment.
String and laser pointers are great cat toys. Just be sure not to leave the cat alone with string; they can eat it or choke themselves on it. If you get any other cat toys, be sure they’re ones you won’t hurt yourself on stepping on them in the middle of the night — or ones you can’t hear at 3am when the cat decides it’s time to play with them (I like foam soccer balls and soft mice toys; jingly plastic balls are Right Out). Catnip is also fun but use sparingly and be sure you store it, sealed, where the cat can’t get at it.
