Here are some advices about how to take care and breed in a healthy way a kitten. You will also find everything is necessary to know about its body, its health, its wellbeing. If you don't find what you are looking for, feel you free to write me and I'll try to give you an answer anyway. Before, try to look for the words you're interested in in this page. 

Let's go, kittens!

When the kitten is three weeks old, he might start eating meat. This is usually called weaning. It is better if the meat is grinded, a little tepid. Slowly, it is possible to add new pet food: vegetables, rice, croquette for kittens and so on.

 The weaned cat.

A kitten is weaned when it doesn't need its mother milk anymore. If possible it is better to separate them when the kitten is getting adult. 

Parasites

If the kittens live outdoor  it is easy to find on its fur ticks, fleas and other parasites. If this occurs it is necessary to go to a pet shop and to buy a flea collar or an anti-flea product. 

  Heat

When the cat is in heat some movements are strange: it rolls about and meows loudly. In this period the cat is ready to couple.

Pregnant cat

According to the dimension of its belly it is possible to foresee the number of kittens, that is often an odd number. 

 Parturition

It is appropriate to assist the cat during the parturition. If the cat has difficulties or it is its first parturition, you should to call the veterinary. Newborn kittens are blind, with the ears folded. The cat generally eats the placenta. It is very possessive towards its kittens, don't get surprised if it scratches you if you try to touch them! That's not true for all cats, anyway.

Castration and sterilization

It is possible to do something with a surgical operation. In this case ovaries/balls  are removed. They proved that these cats have a longer life.

When does he have to sleep?

The cat needs, like we humans, a space in which he can sleep in peace. It's better preparing a basket for it, with pillows, or a box. If you don't do it, the cat will keep sleeping in a different place everytime it feels sleepy! That's not nice, because if you have to find it in a hurry, you won't find it immediately. It won't be easy to find it.

The names

To choose the name for a cat, first of all, it's necessary paying attention to its personality. For example, if she always looks at the moon and she's a female, the ideal name might be Luna! Or, if he's a hopeless rascal, what about Bill? But...DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE! If you want your cat to recognize its name, don't choose a too long one! The cat isn't obedient, it's a rebel. He will never answer when you call it, it isn't a dog! Or rather, it will come only at lunch time!

Diseases.

A disease that occurs very often in cats is the cough. Like us, in fact, cats can cough too. 

The bedstead

The cat is a very clean animal. When it has eaten, it goes to the bedstead. It is appropriate tu use specific bedstead of specialized shops. 

The bowls

The bowls correspond to its dish . They must be always clean and they must be situated always in the same place.

The purr

Even if we have already talked about them before, that's an argoument that deserves to be delved. Cats' purrs are sounds producted by their vocal cords. Sometimes, kittens are even able to purr even if they're only a few days only, but they might also learn later. They're one of the ways the cat communicates: a cat that purrs might be happy, grateful, or relaxed. They're the greatest proof of their happiness. In fact, when kittens are relaxed, and they drink their mother's milk, they purr! Sometimes, a cat that purrs can subdue an equals of its. When a cat is happy it purrs too, and he also might roll on the ground!

The nails

As we all know, cats have nails, called claws. They're very useful to climb on trees and for many other uses, such as scratching chairs, couches or defend. Their nails, unlike dogs' ones, can be withdrawn. It's important to cut them, every now and then, but just a bit, in order to not hurt the cat, because inside the nails blood runs too. Unfortunately, some owners, to not get their own houses destroyed by the claws, have they declawed. DON'T DO IT! Without its claws, a cat will feel defenceless, because he's used to see its nails as its best arm. However, to save the couches from its fury, buying a simple piece of wood (a little soft) should be enough. The cat will be able to keep itself fit, without destroying the furniture!
