If you consider adopting a cat, you must know that that is a really wise decision. Cats are beautiful and charming pets that will offer you entertainment, fun and moment of real joy and tenderness. But, only if you treat them in a proper way, with lots of love and patience. Here are some tips to keep in mind if you want your new family member to be kept happy and healthy.

• Feed your cat with nutritious, good food at least once a day (check out www.catfoodcouponshq.com to save some money on cat food)
• Clean, cool and fresh water is necessary. Remember, kittens need milk, while adult cat should definitely avoid it, because they might suffer from diarrhea.
• Cats WILL attack birds and fish. So, if you have these pets also, keep your cat separated from them. Also, cats can destroy your house plants and there are some plants that are poisonous for them.
• De-clawing is not recommended. Cats will scratch and tear your furniture, but there are ways to learn them not to do that. Or at least to focus just on one item.
• Dogs need to go outside for a walk, cats do not. Litter box is something cats naturally use when they are in house. However, do not leave your cats alone if the window is open. Curiosity killed the cat, remember?
• Dogs need taking a bath, cats do not. Healthy cats keep themselves clean and well-groomed.
• Spray or neuter your cat as soon as it reaches maturity. It is not a must, but your pet will definitely live better and healthier life if you do.
• Regular veterinary care is a must. Find a vet nearby your home.
• Care, love and affection are important for cats as for other animals. Yes, they seem independent and proud, but they need your companionship, to cuddle with you and to be well fed. Yes, if your cat lives inside your house, it will definitely depend on you, no matter how it looks.
