Compared to dogs, cats are not as obviously vocal. However, certain cats are more vocal than
others, and cats can learn to use vocalization to communicate with humans. Some breeds, such as the Siamese, are known for their vocal demeanor.
Cats are loved for their companionship, playfulness, and gentle love they provide to a home. However, when people and cats live together, some natural feline behaviors can lead to destruction and injury to cat guardians and their property: a new couch being shredded or a
child getting scratched by a playful kitten.
There might be times when you find yourself at wit’s end with some of your cat’s unwanted
behaviors.
Cats are naturally curious, but their curiosity can put them in danger, such as when they
become tempted to taste plants or other household items that may be poisonous to them.
Indoor cats, even with access to a scratching post need to have their claws clipped occasionally, some might need it as frequent as every few months.
A very sociable cat or a kitten over 4 months is a good choice for families. Avoid cats that are
fearful or don’t like being handled.
Keeping the carrier visible in your home at all times helps to acclimate the cat to its presence. The first step in getting your cat used to the carrier begins long before her first trip to the vet.
It is important for your cat to understand that entering her carrier does not mean bad things will occur. This can be achieved in several ways, specifically by making your cat’s carrier a part of her daily routine.
Adult cats are highly territorial by nature. Kittens are naturally less so, but will still benefit from
the following steps to ease their transition into a new territory.
Before using an anxiety chemical reliever, please consult a veterinarian to make sure the
behavior isn’t health related.
