Breeds of domestic cats, and especially care for them

Cats are very clean animals, constantly taking care of themselves, and tend to clean my place. Wild cats kittens usually transmit the instinct of cleanliness. When the content of a cat at home a person must achieve making her habit to perform his toilet in one place. Parenting kitten begin with his birth, and by the age of 4-6 weeks had produced certain reflexes.

Education can begin with the fact that several times a day at regular intervals to put the kittens in a timely fashion for the toilet seat and with a moist swab irritate the anal area to stimulate urination and stool. Place for the toilet to choose in advance, not to have to change it. For cats that you already had to master, it is desirable to choose the most peaceful place WC in the apartment (not in sight, away from prying eyes). It is best to take from the former owner of the old rug from this cat and put it to a new location, which then will become familiar to her individual smell.

For toilet cats can not use a wooden or cardboard boxes, as they dampen. More suitable for this special trays with grids and other cell made of plastic, such as trays for the photos. The size of the ditch should be large enough that the cat could go in there and do not throw litter material. How suitable litter newsprint, sand or other material. Sand or earth into the ditch should pour a little and gradually reduce the number of "podsypku." After a week or two kitten gets used to his toilet. Very good special cat litter (such as "Cat-San"), but it's not a cheap and besides, this filler have to buy a lot and for the future, so as not to risk it. If the home does not suddenly be the usual filler, the cat may take a fancy to, for example, the owner or slippers in the hallway rug.

After each use, clean the bath it (wash). If this is difficult and you long to be late for work, should be put next two or three trays (cell). Some cats use the toilet bowl or toilet, which, of course, very convenient for the owner. Especially as to accustom the cat often fail, then you should regularly publish it on the street. However, in multi-storey buildings is not always possible.

To clean a toilet brush is used with a long handle, detergents, hot water with vinegar. A strong disinfectant, such as Lysol can be used only if the cat uses the toilet is not reserved for this place.

Periodic or untidiness time is determined by many factors. First of all, it is associated with serious physical or mental disorder cat. As a physical breach in the first place should be called a disease of the bladder and kidney disorders of the gastrointestinal tract or the presence of endoparasites. This requires a veterinary consultation. A possible reason may be unscrupulous, and physical weakness (mostly in older animals), as well as unfamiliar environment (such as new apartment, etc.). Punishment in these cases is not effective. As a rule, after the elimination of causes of immorality, the animal regains positive skills. It's more complicated with mental disorders who can not always be clearly established. Immorality and cause abnormal behavior or indifference host such a long lonely cat in an apartment, a temporary order for care of a cat to other people, the emergence of a new cat in the house of a pet or even a newborn in the family.

The action of stress, say first dose, estrus (hunting) dog fighting events in the sexual sphere, and other phenomena also lead to temporal uncleanliness.

Particular attention should be paid to educating young animals. At the same good effect and calm stroking praise. If the kitten gets used to the place, it can be punished voice, saying loudly and forcefully: "Foo!" - Or slap their hands. Should take the cat to the mane and showed her "crime scene" to scold, and then referred to her toilet, where the encouragement and kindness to try to create a positive impression. When the cat prefers to sink basin, a bath, then some time they have left a little cold water.

The owner of the animal is often inclined to make humanize him and judge him by his own feelings and impressions. The behavior of the animal, which is associated with the instincts, you can never put an intellectual or moral evaluation. The behavior of cats, as well as any other kind of animal is understandable only within a particular species. Sounds, posture and facial expressions to understand only companions in mind. For this reason, cats with dogs are often misunderstandings. The same thing can happen to a person who does not understands the behavior of your pet. This often leads to serious errors in the content, care and education of the cat. With proper evaluation of the same behavior can quickly gain her trust and location.

But what if a stranger (or guest) does not tend to show my love for you, and taking for granted the food properly and using the toilet, shy and even eat out when no one sees? Do not rush to conclusions. The cat could so have the hell of a lot of trouble in the "pomoechnoy" life, so many have suffered a great deal of people and relatives that he no longer trusts anyone. need patience and again patience.

Moreover, if a cat comes in white light, only when there is no one close by, and afraid when she picked up, it is quite possible, she feared to be at any time thrown into the street. Little did the people who, having picked up the cat seems to be out of pity, and finding that should make a fraction of the labor, and most importantly - love, because of complete lack thereof, again throwing the unfortunate animal in the street! How to regain confidence after such a person? So be patient and try to earn the trust of a new family member ".
