A simple guide to owning a cat

You’ve decided that you want to own a cat. After all, it was an easy decision because they’re so cute, but the question is, how do you go about it? Getting a pet can be overwhelming. This guide will go through some of the basics of cat ownership.

What are the benefits of owning a cat?

Cats make excellent companions, especially for those who like to keep busy or are always on the go. They don’t require as much attention as dogs and can be left alone for days at a time. Cats also provide great entertainment value as observing them play with toys or just lounging around can provide you with hours of amusement.

Eating

Cats are obligate carnivores, which means that they require a diet composed entirely of meat and fish. Feeding them anything else can lead to serious health problems over time. However, that doesn’t mean that all dry food is bad for cats. You just need to carefully look at the ingredients list to make sure the food is high in protein.

You can find excellent pet food at places like exceptionalpets.com.

Sleeping

Cats like to have a designated place to sleep and usually choose the highest spot in the room. You should provide your cat with a comfortable bed, preferably one that is covered in a soft material like fleece.

Exercise

All cats need exercise, even indoor cats. Exercising a cat can seem complicated, but there are a few ways to ensure that your pet gets the activity it needs.

Since cats like to jump, you should make sure they have plenty of things to climb on and places to perch. One of the best purchases will be a cat tree with several different perches and levels for them to sleep or play on.

You also want to make sure they have something to scratch. Generally, cats like to scratch wood. However, some will prefer other materials like sisal or carpet.

Grooming 

Cats need to be groomed regularly. They shed their fur, and it can get everywhere. Grooming your cat will help prevent loose hair from getting all over the house. This helps keep their coat clean and free of mats. You can do this yourself using a brush or comb, or you can take your cat to a groomer.

When you first bring your cat home, make sure you take them to the vet for a checkup.

Litter box

Cats also require a litter box. The litter box should be placed in a quiet, private spot where your cat can go without being disturbed. You’ll need to change the litter on a regular basis, and it’s a good idea to keep a spare box around in case of emergencies.

The best litter for cats is one that is made from natural materials like clay or corn. You can buy litter at most pet stores.

Owning a cat can be a rewarding experience for both you and your feline friend. Just make sure you are prepared for the responsibilities that come with it.
