Funny Cats

 

Although your cat is not likely to be pouncing on their dinner anymore, they still instinctively need to sharpen their claws and that is exactly what they are doing on your furniture. The scratching that they do is a way of trimming their nails and it removes the old outer part of the claws. Another reason they are ruining your home is because they know it to be their territory. 

They don t require as many vet visits for routine shots either like dogs do which can become quite expensive. For those that have problems with mice, cats make a great natural system for taking care of them. This means you won t have to deal with messy traps or dangerous poisons around your home. Many cat owners claim they haven t come across a mouse in their home for years with this line of defense. 

If they are scratching or have irritated skin, your cats need you to bring this problem under control because it can become a much larger problem if you do not. Even clean cats can end up with fleas. All it takes is a stray animal to come close enough to the cat. Or, the cat can pick them up outdoors as well. 

Use slow, calm motions and he ll relax and maybe even will enjoy it. Once he is lathered, you ll need to rinse him off. Make sure to get all of the shampoo out of his coat as anything left on him will irritate his skin. Next, do the same with the cat s conditioner. This step is optional if the cat has short hair. 

It is also harder to know just how much food the cat is eating so you may not realize if he is eating less than he normally does. This is an important sign that he s not feeling well and it can be a serious problem then. Cats that are finicky may waste a lot of food by refusing to eat it if it has been sitting in the feeder for too long. 

Many collars come with bells or some other noise making device. This is designed to warn potential prey animals that your cat is out hunting. The idea behind these is to avoid your cat bringing home gifts and presents, especially ones that are still alive!! In the main these devices are ineffective and its usually best to remove them so there s less to get caught up in bushes and fences.
