Cats will make their "needs" a health stones sold at low prices, they should be placed in a plastic box health. At one time, at home we did not have all this, but cats instead of going and mess everywhere, were going to the bathroom and made to the ceramic side, we had been comfortable as could easily be cleaned and pull the toilet.
While cats are independent, they become very attached to their masters, so that sometimes people can not believe it their love is unconditional, are loyal and do betray as the gossips say, are faithful companions that take us away the lonely hours. In the U.S., has been shown to lower the stress if one cherishes, to hear her purr gives us a sense of security and raise self-confidence, and also protect against allergies to make our body produce antibodies.
Cats create passion, love and hate, this who love her dearly and those who hate you too.
Basic Care Feeding 
Balanced Dry Foods Are foods commercial, come with all the nutrients and vitamins needed by our cat in measures proportionate to the need for animal. Must have taurine, an essential element for these cats, if insufficient in the diet can cause heart problems, among others.
The advantages of dried foods are balanced: Studies: Can be stored in a jar, a bag in the cupboard or anywhere else in the house without a refrigerator. Durable : Stored properly can remain months without spoiling. Insurance: We can be assured that our cat will not contract diseases such as toxoplasmosis, tuberculosis or other ill THROUGH food.
Comfort: We must not cook or clean anything after the cat has eaten. The only thing we do is measure the daily ration and serving on the plate.
Save time: do not waste time preparing food, so as not get tired. Nor need we know how to cook and if people with little time can be given once a day (in fact are designed for this and is the most recommended).
Classes: There are different types of foods intended for certain age groups or pathologies, are made differently, with different proportions of ingredients.
Kittens:
For children under 12 months.
Adult:
For more than a year before a certain age, varies according to the company, up to 7.9 or 10 years. Senior
: For cats over 7, 9 or 10 years
. Urinary problems: for those who suffer from imbalances in the pH of urine. Obesity and Diet: For those who need fewer calories to achieve weight loss. Sensitive: Some cats are very sensitive stomach, so they created these lines.
is advisable to change the taste of food in some cases, eg if in March gave him like all fish, in April we can provide meat or chicken, fish back in June, July, another taste, etc ... also good to give those cans that sell or common meal as meat chopped cooked chicken or a little, and not used to eating only feed.
Precautions:
We must choose correctly the brand and quality of food, if you bought a very cheap meal we risk making our cat to suffer a urinary obstruction caused by stones or gravel. The calculations are like a pebble that can be very tiny or as large as a marble, clog the bladder (the bag where urine collects) or urethra (the tube where urine comes out). It is painful and uncomfortable for the cat and the only solution is to operate, their symptoms are constantly going to the tray health to urinate but nothing comes out or just a few drops, there may be blood in the effort made, some meowing from the pain and discomfort. The these disasters occur because the feed cheap and poor quality is because when economic saving in raw materials, whether buying or eliminating poor quality ingredients. This results in an imbalance in the pH (acidity) of urine, resulting in the formation of these stones called calculi or grit. not forget the water. To be devoid of liquid food, you will be very thirsty to our cat, if you do not provide a dish with enough water could not only dehydrated but also create problems and urinary cystitis, some foods high in salt to encourage water consumption and if not drinking enough, it could cause a urinary disorder.
Food Home.
The problem of choosing this option is that they often do not cover the nutritional needs of cats, we can not feed our kitten only one with tuna liver or as some people, this does not provide the vitamins and minerals required animal. If we provide food
home, always remember the basic rule ... VARIETY, let's not forget that, even have a notebook to write what food we gave him today or yesterday, for ensure that the daily eating different foods.
The meat is necessary for taurine that cats have no heart problems she might have, but not sufficient element, always too much meat can cause bone problems due to the lack of calcium. will get used to our little cat to eat foods such as fish, cereals, some fruits and vegetables, etc ... Red meat (beef, pork ...) and white (chicken) must be cooked at 70 degrees or more, should not be pink parts indicate raw or semi-arid areas. Cooking is not to be richer, but to eliminate, prevent and avoid diseases like toxoplasmosis that are spread through the raw meats. The fish always boneless and bone best avoided. Good prepare pumpkin puree from time to time by vitamin A. If your cat eats is fruit such as melon, pineapple, we can give sometimes. Mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes, tomatoes (without seeds!), Corn, etc ... Avoid fried, over-use oils, shortenings, or margarines.
Dairy products like cheese are permitted but must not spend the milk it produces some cats diarrhea and stomachaches. Eggs, rice, polenta, are also not to forget food.
One day we can give, rice with chicken and mashed pumpkin, another day liver cooked with minced meat, diced the next cheese and polenta, then a bit of pate, etc ... a matter of imagination and creativity.
not forget to consult the vet for some recipes that we can advise and perform a checkup every now and then if you need some vitamin supplements.

brushing
in cats hair long or semi-long, at least you should do it three times a week, ideally every other day.
short-haired cats also need, but less so than long hair once a week or every 10 days is sufficient. Brushing helps prevent ingested hairs cat grooming, your hair will stay soft and shiny, you increase blood flow and not allow the formation of knots, in some cases the fleas do "spoon" in these knots, if you can not disentangled, it is best to cut it and return it to grow fur. Brushing should be a checkup to find out if you have skin problems, sores, bumps (if you were to have a not squeeze it, in any case take it to a vet could be a tumor or abscess), etc ... If you have any injury the best thing would be to find a small scissors and try to cut the hair around it (taking care not to hurt him anymore) and will have better contact with the air and help to not get infected too. To get more air will heal and heal faster than it covered.
If you see balls and stuff in a spiral of black on various parts of his body, indicating the presence of fleas.
Some do not like be brushed so we have to accustom them since they are kittens, however there are others who are eager to make the combs. Never force it if it does not want to force him to be in strange poses, we take anger to the brush and the whole process by becoming very difficult.
To start you must first of all get yourself a good quality brush that is soft and does not make you hurt, the ends should be rounded. Must adapt to it, following their movements for comfort and interpret what these petted. Gotta find you too comfortable so sit down in a chair and puts the cat on a table or directly please do it on the floor or in a place that is comfortable for both.
If your cat is fully prepared to not leave it near a meter or brush, gloves, brushes there that are very useful because it will be as pet and will not give you much annoyance, but also can "bribe" you feed him while you brush, then link him with food and will not have much disgust.
When finished, it's good to stroke it with your hands to remove loose hair that could have been and that the brush could not catch, or you can pass a cloth, then you can wash easily.
pregnant cat
Duration: approx estimated. 9 weeks (63 days).
Symptoms of prEN: Disappearance of the heat suddenly attitudinal changes such as increased appetite, some adhere more to their owners and want the address and cuddled more. Vomiting can be reached, if you see that are too consistent and straight, take her to the vet. During the first weeks of pregnancy is complicated to get to distinguish any change, just the 3rd week you can gently palpate the abdomen of the cat and feel the presence of kittens, it is best to go with a vet who knows how it should do . This week the cat's tits and pink will be widened. month and a half where we can get an x-ray detection of the kittens.
At the 5th week we noted that the cat has increased size, it should stay that way until the young were born, if we find that your weight does not rise or has declined to review. The last few weeks are important, that's when most kittens grow and terms of development, especially those 14 days late.
Food: At the moment we will keep giving the food to which they are accustomed, but should assess the quality and range to which the food you are providing, we can consult with a veterinarian to guide us and tell us that are mid-range brands (premium) and high (superpremium). If we see a very cheap food, not quality (as many ingredients eliminate necessary or used cheap raw materials), we are putting at risk the development of the kittens born.
When you have completed the month of pregnancy, buy premium food for kittens and gradually we will be adding a little to the daily food ration of the pussycat. Increasing each week, the last and should be eating kitten food only.
The amount we will be giving must be greater than when she was not pregnant, usually a cat 3 to 5 kg taken 60 grams per day, so we need 100gr feline mother at a minimum, amount will be raised when located at the end of the press. We draw your ration into several portions and give it every 4 hrs Like it never hurts to veterinary consultation.
In the bags of food, as we find in grams be given to a pregnant cat, this varies depending on the factory.
Labor: The pace of iran uterine contractions increased as the kitten is expelled THROUGH the birth canal, they are born covered by the amniotic sac, the mother took them off but not so, carefully take the kitten with help it'll gently towel in the bag and clean up areas of the nose and mouth, then proceed to encourage the towel rubbing against the body until it begins to breathe, we must be sensitive to perform the procedure, do not push the kitten, only pass the towel on his body as if we were drying. Among
kitty kitty and may have periods of 20 to 60 minutes, but it is not unusual these days are a little longer. The mother cut the umbilical cord of each calf with his teeth to 2.5 or 3 cm. If you miss a kitten and we have to proceed with a fine thread previously sterilized with alcohol, we will tie two or three inches and a half approx. and leave a small space of 1.5 to 2 cm and then cut off with scissors disinfected with alcohol too.
We count the number of pups and placentas to determine if any were left without leaving, usually mothers eat the placenta so we will watch as the kittens born in most of the cases, the placenta and breeding out together, but if in 24 hrs was not expelled there to take her to the vet for an intervention, as if they have spent over 4 hrs and we believe that there are still unborn kittens.
Comfort for the mother: If we want and we can give comfort to our cat, the first will be a place to sleep, and delivery, they give birth when looking for safe, quiet and rather dark as a closet, under the bed of their owners or between the sheets themselves, in a drawer, etc ... So what will provide a box or basket with newspaper on the bottom and top clean linen, towels, placed in a room in the house where you can have your water and food dish and litter box. While there may be times when you decide to deliver in other places like the kitchen or bathroom, at least have a place to rest after their young. It is not advisable to move from this place while giving birth, if we find on the cold floor is what will bring clean cloths or towels and place them around, when a kitten is born to try to work up to the towel. After all the offspring born carefully transport it to their kittens, this must be done by someone you know and trust a lot.
remember ...
While in the stage of gestation, a cat must remain active, so we'll play with it (games smooth and not sudden), to walk, in simple words that moves, so their muscles lose their tone and strength.
A cat should not become excessively fat in animal fat, which could cause problems in delivery or hips, a veterinary check up every so often to make sure that your weight gain is only due for the kittens that are growing.
When approaching the final days of gestation, we must not let the cat out, even if our patio or garden and we are watching, could be to start giving birth outside, it would be appropriate.
In the last few weeks and after delivery, we will put the water dish and litter box close to that not have to remove too much of the offspring.
The cat returns to its heat cycle last month and a half or two, depending on each one, try as they may not go outside to avoid becoming pregnant again, if this happens would be a great strain on it, so they have weaned the kittens must be spayed as soon as possible, like kittens.
Celo
Cats are one of the most spirited animals after goats, so with this, we all said. depends on each cat, but usually their first heat is from six months onwards, although there are some cases that have had kittens at 4 mo. signs of a cat in heat are clear and precise. Meows strong and persistent. - Male and female. Out of home
constant for several hours and days. - Male and female. Return to injuries
fights. - Males. Urine
furniture, walls and everything in its power. - Males.
They roll across the floor. - Females and some males.
females may be made more affectionate, but more characteristic is that lift the back of the body and tail located to one side.
Cats need 12 hours of light to begin their cycle, but those who live within a home are up to 14 hrs almost constant light, so they would all year with oestrus cycle. Unless you get a male, female jealousy will persist and will have it every 1 week or week and a half, until you find a cat or as the time of year where you can be every 2 or 3 weeks. If our cat was mating season and suddenly has stopped them, we must suspect her pregnant.
One way to know if the pussycat has been pregnant, have gone beyond their mating season, is changing attitudes will be more hungry, some want you to pay close attention and pampering, you may also suffer vomiting. From the 5, 6 weeks, the abdominal area of \u200b\u200bthe cat will have increased significantly and will remain so until birth of kittens. If we took it to a vet, you can feel the belly and if it is or spent 3 weeks of gestation, managed to feel a little kittens. Can
many of these cats, when they are in heat, begin to lose hair, not wanting to eat, which could cause health problems such as anemia, get anxious and nervous.
locked in a room will not be a solution, the cat will feel frustrated not being able to carry out its objectives of conquest, and want to get out even more, they managed to escape all.
It is best to perform sterilization, since street fights are dangerous to the health of our little friend, can get diseases such as feline leukemia, rhinotracheitis, among others that could threaten the life of the kitten.
Fleas and other
Fleas not only cause itching and burning skin of your cat, but are also disease carriers for the cat and us. Also, if they are in too much weaken the body of your pet, in some cases the animal produces a dermatitis by scratching, hurting the skin, this may result in fungal or other infections.
These parasites suck the blood of the cat, if they become heavily infected could eventually lead to anemia, among other things. The kittens are more likely to get sick from fleas because they have not yet developed immune system, could become very dangerous for your life. Where there is no fleas lice. Ticks are also carriers of many diseases transmissible to animals and us. Like blood-sucking fleas but ticks are "stuck" in the skin. We must never start because it could cause infections in cats, it is best to take a cloth and plenty of alcohol of 96 degrees in abundance and well dampen the area where the tick's head for a long time until release, then alcohol we throw over, throw in a sealed bag or burn. The cloth should be washed with boiling water and various disinfectants.
lice can not stand the smell of vinegar, if our cat had it better to use while bathing the preparation of equal parts vinegar and water, then rinse. If your cat does not allow bathing, apply it with a damp cloth using a sprayer, then rinse the same way.
Hairballs
It occurs more often in cats with long hair and half long, is very important to try to prevent them by brushing, with, we will be catching loose hair that could swallow the grooming. These hairs are accumulated and form the famous balls of fur that can obstruct the intestine of the cat becoming fatal in severe cases.
also good malt or a little olive oil so you can delete by itself, even sold in pet stores and pet shops a cream that gives the cat to help with this. In cats with short hair can also happen, in fact has happened to one of my kittens, fortunately managed to eject it by itself, but before that had the mood very weak, from one day to the other would not play, no eating nor drinking, hid under a cabinet and would not leave until we are very concerned by the attitude, got from there, everything was normal there, was just dehydrated and without forces have not eaten, we gave serum for dehydration, the coat because it had a low temperature. We gave a solution with salts and glucose, so regain strength. After a few days, managed to eject the ball of hair and is now healthy and active as before.
Feeding Kittens
If we have to give milk in pet stores selling a specially formulated kitten milk and cow's milk does not have the same amount of protein than the cat, including other nutrients such as phosphorus. Apart from cow's milk can cause severe diarrhea and stomach upset. Newborn to 2 weeks: Each 4 hours must be fed, ie 6 times a day.
The first week of life will take between 10 to 15 ml can reach to 20 depending on the cat, it's good to get a syringe of 10 or 12 cm3, not only to measure but to give it because the teats of the bottles end up after a while breaking. 2 weeks to 4 weeks: Every 6 hours, which would be 4 times a day.
From the 3 to 4 weeks, are able to eat solid foods, it is best to get them special food for kittens, because they have other nutritional needs than adults. Can moisten dry food with warm water to soften it if the kitten is very hard to chew, but do not leave it all day and a few hours then dry food moistened it gets ugly.
6 to 12 months, divide the food in a single daily ration according to their energy needs as a kitten who lives in an apartment will be less active than one who can go out and wander for several hours. Let's ration of food (can be between 80 and 100 gr) at the plate all day if we only have a kitten, otherwise it is divided into portions throughout the day, so no cat will have eaten more than another. Similarly, should the kitty eat all the rations at once, so if you eat 100 grams, will give 50 to the morning and 50 in the afternoon.
If we offer much variety of foods other than balanced food, the kitten will grow accustomed to the different tastes and once in adulthood will not be so picky eating.
not forget the water, is indispensable for survival, it is advisable to leave a dish of water near the mother to not stray far from the offspring, renewed every day or every 2 days.
Excess Food
should always be avoided, a cat overweight or obese is not synonymous with good nutrition and health, but will lead to future problems, heart, joints and more likely to suffer from urinary obstruction . If we see this really fat, we start a diet, daily ration and pulling down forcing him to move, either playing or making stand on a chair.
Learning
toilet
Newborns can not defecate and urinate on her own until after fulfilling a month, that's why after every meal they must pass a cotton swab moistened with water warm to encourage them, this is what I would do if any mother after nursing. It is even advisable to continue with this until the month and a half.
To educate healthcare mess in your box, then fed if any, will take you near the sandbox, because the kittens immediately after a while they feel like "going to the bathroom." Often fished messing where they should not, not only will challenge will try to take it to the litter box and let it run into the same (if he was in a nearby location.) Another way to use their litter box is placed a little fecal matter itself among the stones sanitary then proceed to assimilate both.
Maternal Heat
newborn kittens should have a heat source, are very delicate and tends to drop in temperature is rapid and can be fatal. If the mother can not be with them, you'd better put a hot water bottle covered with a towel under the kittens. If you have some petty cash, will be ideal, because the brothers will be huddled around a other, giving himself mutual heat.
If we do not have hot water bottle, placed near a heat source like a stove, whether it's summer, they need something that will keep the temperature up after a few weeks are not able to maintain body heat by themselves.
The game
is important that they provide fun for these young growing, they are not to suppress his desire to play because they might become depressed or in the future have behavior problems, so if we can give him a few toys for entertainment, great. If we do not have the money to buy something, you can create things in home eg, we can use those strings that do not use old shoes, make a ball with a role that no longer serve, you just have to tner imagination and the kittens little ones play with everything that moves in front of their noses, even some pursue the pencil with which we are writing.
A cat that was playful, from one day to the other pied all his desire to tinker, we will see how it behaves, if he sleeps a lot, if this decayed since most of the time a sick cat will not play.
brushing
is important to start brushing early to the kittens, especially if hair is long, so get used and will not do tantrums in the future. Socialization also helps.
pay attention
Kittens should gain weight every day the first month of life, we recommend you have a notebook where we write down the number of grams of each day, this will serve as a control, a cat begins to lose weight and not replaced, needs to be seen by a veterinarian. Similarly we weight the month last week.
Kittens eat several times a day, meaning that if we let them have food and only ate a little, we should not worry, hours later will return to sniff the plate. If even past the hour, no returns or rejects the food, we monitor their behavior, look if the next day still with the same attitude, even Having been moved or dish washing or changing the brand of food, then we will take to the vet, especially if they have spent more than 48 hours without food ingested. We will take a view if you have a runny nose and / or eyes, just as if you are suffering from diarrhea or constipation, paying attention especially when urinating, straining to see whether or blood, if you hide under beds, in wardrobes strangely as hiding from the light, all these symptoms are reason to go to the vet.
Care, Kitty!
Inside the home, there are many dangers for our mischievous little friend, the kitchen is one of them, that is why when we are cooking we must keep the cat away from the pots, hot oil, hot water, knives, etc ... Even the refrigerator or oven, though it sounds ridiculous, are places where the cat gets out of curiosity.
laundry is also risky for these slackers, the washing machine is usually a place where they can get to sleep, like the laundry hamper, if our cat is very small, risk to be introduced along with the clothes. The bathroom is a room that we should pay attention, you might want to take a bath and fill the entire tub of water, is when the phone just rings and leave the door open many kittens are really curious, they approach the edge and splash! Cat water, if it is small you may not be able to leave on their own. cabinets and drawers are very comfortable to sleep, until someone close doors and no longer can get out, it is common that many owners think their cat was lost and turned out to be that he was kept all day in a closet.
So before you close the fridge, oven, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, closet or even the balcony, if we look ahead a little intruder before.
sterilization
best we can do for our kitty is castration, prolong its life and protect it from diseases such as sexually transmitted diseases such as Feline AIDS.
Some cats, when they are in heat, get anxious, nervous, can become aggressive, stop eating, losing hair ... They also have the distinctive meow incessantly. This operation is not painful, is performed under general anesthesia, then the recovery is quick and easy. In males undergo removal of the testicles, his speech is more simple than a female, and that the kittens should proceed by a cut in the abdomen, some prefer to make a cut on each side, but depend on the vet.
Once we deliver to our pet Carefully take it home, it is advisable to start a stove or take a room warm to prevent chilling.
When you start to wake up, walk without sense, it is possible to crash into furniture or walls, it would be best to have someone stay with him to see that does not get hurt or to drop anything on them.
you will not near water, or food until fully awake.
then recovery will be faster, but we should keep the females in the area where the points have been made, see if there are infections or opened. If a cat who insists on chewing the area of \u200b\u200bpoints, the most convenient is to place an Elizabethan collar (which looks like a lamp).
If we have sterilized our cat in the middle of the stage of estrus, was not passed on the day after the operation, will have to wait for the hormones that were making are completed.
age for castration is between 6 and 12 months, depending on the cat, it is more convenient not having his first heat, but if I had nothing bad will happen, what happens is that some cats remember the scent of a female in heat and possibly continue even without reproductive intentions. Male cats that have not gone through this stage sit-urinate and females, but there are cases in which recall his habit of peeing type "spray" (up and back toward something and sprinkle with urine object).
In simple words the advantages of sterilization are:
Avoid street fights that can give a result wounds, infections, abscesses and infections of diseases such as Feline Leukemia or Feline AIDS (among others). Decrease
his adventures and trips, while not able to eradicate the practice if we can shorten the distances to travel and time away from home. Avoid
reproductive problems and increase the number of years.
Endo
is important to keep our animal suppressed to avoid infection not only to ourselves but also to keep in good health our pet.
Parasites (also called worms), most of them stay in the intestine of the cat, play within it and many feed on the blood of the cat, this is as roundworms, hookworms, among others. This causes our pet does not use all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients you need, also favoring immune system problems. A clear symptom of worm infection is weight loss with increased appetite, although we raise the food ration our cat is thin. Also in many cases can be discovered in the stool, some white and elongated parasites. In some cases, the hair is rough, dull and ugly. Call your veterinarian to provide it the required dose of parasite, which come in drops or tablets and depending on the brand can be a once monthly or every 4 to 6 months.
Bathroom
Before you give a cat a bath, you have to look if you really need, will be subjected to a stress that may not be worthwhile.
Although if it really is dirty and no other option, it should be ...
A bucket or bottle more than a liter of warm water and soap or shampoo for cats mixing.
A bucket or bottle more than a liter of warm water, nothing else.
A cloth or rag. A towel to dry.
What we do is put the cat on the bathroom sink or kitchen, we can also use a bowl, then talk gently to reassure him. With fabric or cloth and wet with water and shampoo, it will pass through the body to the kitten until you have covered all the hair. Always starting from the neck and head, careful not to touch the eye. We will take a bit of shampoo or soap and gently massage the body, telling him not to panic too much, cost a lot to prevent meow strong, so I better bathe for the day and not bother anyone.
After the soaping, with the help of the same cloth (rinse) go getting all the shampoo, you can throw a glass with water to assist and expedite the matter.
When finished, use the towel to calm down we can have a plate with food, so go slowly drying up may begin to purr!
If in the middle of the bathroom was very nervous, it will do is rinse quickly as possible, you let loose with a bit of food you get close, dry it and try another time.
Remember
The bathroom can weaken the kitten.
can also give a cold that may lead to something more serious.
So, over the bathroom, take him to a room with a stove. If it's summer shelter it is equally there may be cold drafts.
If you are sick, better avoid it, transfer it in any event with alcohol on a cloth coat.
Adult Cat
An adult cat requires little maintenance. Brushing
: It is essential in long-haired cats or semi-long, it is also necessary for the short-haired cats but its particularly spacious. Game: It is important to encourage his desire to play, it's good for us also stress that each liberate both playing with the cat because it makes us laugh, makes our feline waste energy, moving, strengthen muscles, etc ... So get a ball, laces shoe, do not cost much, we rejoice the day for us and our cat too. Soledad : If they can stay alone for large amounts of hours, we must not abuse the privilege, if we are the majority of their time outdoors, it is good to analyze bringing home another cat followed with huge. A cat who spends alone in a house or apartment will sleep most of the day, eat and do not burn calories, fat, fat will be put, this causes serious health problems.
Walks: A cat that lives in a house with a garden or patio, you will have the ability to perform daily walks that can be risky for him. Dogs, cars, bad people, contaminated food or water are some of the dangers, you can also catch diseases contact with other cats or contaminated objects. It is better to spend as much time as possible inside the home, one way to decrease your craving for adventure is the sterilization.

But we should not be based on how nice it looks or how small they are when adopting a pet, you should know that consuming time and care will not be easy for some to endure the restless character and his tireless desire to play. Of course we must mention that those who spend much time outside the home, or with little patience, are the least suited to hold a kitten.
