Breeds of domestic cats, and especially care for them

The little kitten has his "place." This is the box where he lives with his mother-cat. This is a great place - warm, comfortable and safe. And while a tiny kitten, he willingly from such a wonderful place will not go. He himself was not an enemy.

A little danger, even a little bit already grown up kitten, skedaddle to my mother, to his safe place.

But this is a wonderful refuge is a kitten, which you have in your house, on the other side of the earth, where it has remained a wonderful mother. And in your home it yet everywhere is in danger. He does not have his corner. It's small bum. Suddenly, suddenly found that he was a huge uncharted territory, where there are no shelters. And the kitten will start to look for safe places where they can hide and feel secure. Even if you are very gentle and kind, the kitten will look for temporary shelters. So the little kitten you can suggest an artificial nest, a manhole, which can only squeeze a kitten. But to offer such a house without violence. Usually, if a nest laid-smelling bedding or cloth mother, baby calms down. But this is not always the case. Sometimes the nest do not like. You do not every house is too nice. For example, if you have lived all my life in a city apartment, you'll be too cozy feel in a village hut, and vice versa. Here kitty offered you a house may not seem too safe and comfortable. You bought him a plush nest in a pet store, and the kitten seeks to circumvent it by. You put it on the bottom of the rug from under the mom-cat and kitten pulled the rug and pulled it into his mouth for him, trying to find another place that he will be nicer. Here it is guided by the preferences of the kitten, but not on your aesthetic sense. Maybe the kitten does not like closed on all sides by a nest? Maybe it plain nicer box, similar to the one which passed the first days of his life?

 

Therefore it is possible to do so. Does not want a kitten to sleep in the nest, ask him a couple of different slots to choose from. Did not like? Try alternately placed in the nest box and the box itself put in the most warm and insulated corner. For example, I put the house right in such great battery life, because cats love warmth. And when the cat gets used to live in a nest, lying in a box, and a little older, start to clean the walls of the box, one by one, until it does not destroy. Remove the box and leave the nest. In warm and secluded kitten would be good.

 

But not all kittens agree to the nest, lying low on the floor. Some want to sleep higher and softer, and where in our house higher and softer? That's right, on a sofa or chair. If you are categorically opposed to such a place for a kitten, then just try to put his nest on the hill, just so that he was there to climb comfortably. Often nest well "hidden" on the rack shelf, but for grown-active kitten - even high up on the cabinet. The closet is warm and cozy. From the cabinet are seen are seen from the area and the enemy will not do unnoticed. In other words - the kitten feels that he controls the situation. My cat's with great pleasure that nest on the cabinet, and the other cats, too, belong to the cabinets is very positive. But while the kitten is small and relatively weak, we should not put his house so highly.

 

And at first, so generally better to arrange a "cat's place" so that he did not feel like an unnecessary and isolated from all living things! He could at any time to call you and you always come to him and to comfort or calm down if he was scared. Of course, the kitten may be refused to sleep alone. He was accustomed to that next warm mother, how to warm yourself now? If you want a kitten sleeping in his house, then show him their full attention, and when you see that he was tired, yawn and his eyes stuck together, take in a cozy nest and lay sleeping. Just like a small child in the cradle.

 

- to the rain: licks, especially under the tail, scratching behind the ear, sneezing, rolled into a ball and puts a muzzle on his belly;

 

- frost: sleeping, curled up, hiding his nose and sits closer to the stove;

 

- to heat: asleep, stretched out, often on the back, legs apart;

 

- to the clear weather: washing his little face, licks, and raises the back foot, smarten up.

 

Not the fact that he wants to remain in its nest. The kitten may wake up and discover that it shamelessly cheated. If he is gentle and shy, he burst into tears. And do not ignore this cry, go to the kitty, you can pick him up, pat, warmed, and when he falls asleep again - get into the house. If he is an active and brave, he can get out and go in search of a warm host. If he comes to you and climb into bed, and you do not notice, you let him take the first step in winning the Main Cat Seats in the house. Kitty treats your bed as the main value, because this bed belongs to the owners, cat "parents"! And he just won it! So again a couple of times and the kitten firmly established in the thought that the most important place in the house belongs to him who owns the two-legged bed - that is it, kitten. And then, as adults and zamaterev, it will come to your bed without a demand. And anything you do with it can not, like this here! Catch the moment, while he was still in development! That is, return the kitten to its original position, but not so, as do novice cat owners.

 

When I was completely inexperienced and virginal in this respect, man, I was given two weeks to "people" a four cat Matilda. Oh, how we have the hell of a lot of trouble with it! During the day, no doubt, it was a wonderful thing! No problem! But as soon as night began, Matilda just went crazy, she began to crawl out of the allotted her bed and climbing on my couch. Peck, bang, smack! And now the sharp claws on my leg or arm. I'm in a rage threw off Matilda on the floor. Peck, bang, smack! Again creeps! She was indefatigable. It all skidyvaniya did not respond and continued to climb again and again to a comfortable sofa. In the end, tired of the "education", I tried to lock her in a fishbowl, which was on that day without water and fish. Put a grid on top a thick book. Middle of the night - again! Peck, bang, smack! And matildiny claws on my face! So all the two weeks I have struggled m at night with a kitten. And nothing could be done. Matilda was hard on the couch! Stop it could not and bombing! When the real owners return, I asked about the strangeness of night life kitten. And then it turned out that Matilda was accustomed to sleep in bed mistress. And it is so long and did it regularly, that I would wean her anyway could not!
