Top 5 Tips for a Healthy Cat

Here are the top five tips in maintaining and keeping a cat’s health in the right framework:

1. A Cat’s Fundamental Needs

These include a food dish, water dish, cat food, water, a litter box, litter, a litter scoop, a cat bed, a few basic toys, a scratching post if your cat has nails and you want to protect your upholstery, an ID collar and a cat carrier.


2. An Accurate Feeding Plan for Cats

Feeding cat is a major component of proper and complete cat care. Cat foods should depend on the cat’s age and basic needs which includes the following: Buy kitten food for kittens, adult cat food for adults, hairball control food for cats prone to hairballs, picky-eater cat food for finicky cats, weight-control cat food for overweight cats, and so on. Sticking to dry cat food rather than wet (canned food) is beneficial for your cat’s health. Most importantly, provide plenty of fresh water to your cat on a daily basis.


3. A Cat’s Litter Box Regimen

A cat’s litter box should be away from the kitchen and bedrooms however, make it a point that it is accessible for your cat. Clean out the cat’s waste every day or on a weekly basis. To put simply, consider buying litter box liners and a litter for easy clean up of waste.


4. Good and Proper Grooming for Cats

Cats are quite clean animals and know how to groom themselves on a regular basis. However, grooming can’t be done by your cat alone which means a constant assistance from a cat owner is necessary. Cats only require taking a bath at least every once in a while, in doing so, use warm water and a mild cat shampoo. Brush the cat’s fur regularly in order to prevent hairballs.


5. A Physical Check up from a Veterinarian

Cat requires regular checkups, shots, vaccinations, done by a trusted veterinarian.
