Cats

If you are thinking of getting a pet, you should pick onethat fits in with your personality. Cats are calm and not verry active. If you are kind of a lazy or somebody that leaves the house a lot, a cat will be a good pet for you. Cats do not like strangers and can be bothered very easily. If a cat doesnt reconize you and you get close to it or pat it, he might go away. Don't be disapointed if in the first few days the cat keeps running away from you. He'll eventually get used to you. If the cat is on your lap and he goes away, don't run after it because he might be getting mad or tired of that.


GETTING READY


If you are getting a cat you should have a bed that he or she is comfortable with. Make sure you have a proper water dish and a food bowl. Make sure they are both clean. Always make sure he has CLEAN water to drink. You should wash the food and water bowl evry day. Make sure you have a vet to take care of your cat in any way. (Vaccines, etc.) Make sure you have toys for the cat to play so he doesn't scratch your furnitue. If he does, you shuld have a spray botlle with water in it so if he does something wrong, spray no more then ONCE and say "no". NEVER hit your cat. Make sure you have a space for your cat to pee or poop (territory). Only remove your cat's nails if you absolutely have to. If your cat scrathes you, it might be because he is mad so just leave him alone for some time. Make sure your cat is eating its food. If he isn't, talk to your vet.
