8 Basic Tips for Taking Care of a Kitten Cat
1 Provide a sandbox
Between licks and trips to the bathroom, cats maintain a strict hygiene routine - in which they invest seven to twelve hours of their day. Therefore, it is important to keep the litter box clean at all times, which will encourage the cat to use it naturally from an early age (and never in unwanted spaces in the house). When they don't find a suitable place to go about their needs, cats can go days without urinating or defecating, which can lead to a series of health problems. It is recommended to always have an "extra box" in the house. That is: having two for a cat; three for two; four to three; and so on.
2 Encourage the cat to drink water
Striving for quality hydration is among the wild instincts that remain strong in the personality of domesticated cats. In this sense, the water source - as it approaches the sensation offered by rivers - encourages the feline to hydrate more times a day. An affordable option is to distribute filled containers around the house, and seek to replenish the water daily. As much as possible, keep the food pot and water cooler far apart, as the smell of the kibble can make the cat think the water is not really clean and drinkable.
3 Offer pet food for puppies
First of all, regarding feeding, it is necessary to emphasize that it is necessary to respect the puppy's breastfeeding period. Ideally, veterinarians indicate that adoption takes place after the cat is two months old - precisely to provide these first moments of discovery about the world with the mother and her little brothers, with the most natural feeding routine possible.
After weaning, it is important to prioritize a special super premium food for puppies. This quality nutrition will be vital for the feline to reach adulthood in enviable health. In the case of cats, the feeder can be permanently full (which will even make the pet gain confidence and tranquility in its territory).

4 Do not give the cat access to the street
Whether or not to offer access to the street for the cat is a point of disagreement between guardians and guardians around the world. While it is proven that the feline lives significantly longer when indoors, there are favorable arguments for the freedom of the animal to come and go - this is a theme that varies according to the culture of each country, but also the location , when understanding the different realities of life in large urban centers and in the interior.
However, when it comes to a puppy, there is a consensus on the theme: restrict the space the kitten will have access to and always keep an eye out. Like any baby, in the first months of life he is still not aware of the dangers of the environment, in addition to being a fragile animal for having his body structure in full development.
5 Gatify your home
With the growing presence of cats in Brazilian families, the concept of cattification is gaining more and more space in the pet market. With some adjustments and a lot of creativity, it is possible to adapt the house to better receive the pet. The idea is directly linked to feline well-being, which has some specific needs such as scratching and venturing into the territory.
Especially in the cat's first days in the house, set aside a safe, warm environment so he can sleep. Comfort helps in the process of adapting to the new home.
Some examples: creating aerial circuits with shelves and niches, offering scratchers (which is also great to save the destruction of furniture in the house), providing cozy dens and beds, distributing interactive toys throughout the environment, among other solutions.
6 Play with the kitten
In an ideal world, having fun would be a priority for any being's childhood. The first years of the feline's life are full of joy, energy and desire to play. Take advantage of this super lively phase to create a bond with the kitten, as these are the moments of happiness that are marked in the lives of the pets (and also of the tutors and tutors). Remembering that there is no need to spend money for this, any cardboard box or paper ball can be a real treat for them.

7 Visit a veterinarian
It is essential to take your puppy for visits to the veterinarian periodically. Take advantage of the trip to get information from professionals about deworming and the necessary vaccines for each period of life, as well as to take exams on the animal's health status. For example, it is essential to test for FIV and FeLV, a potentially fatal and highly transmissible disease that affects millions of cats, being the disease that kills the most felines in Brazil.
In general, neutering is also currently recommended for domestic cats. The operation reduces a series of health risks, in addition to reducing the habit of demarcating
