The number one killer of cats is traffic so give the driver every chance to see your cat, especially if it s a dark colored cat. 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! Patience, love, and rewards will be the key factor in training your cat. The clicker is a good exercises tool for a cat. 10 to 15 mins a day you should get your cat to exercises. For exercising, you can have the cat use a hoop, play with a toy, and climb on the scratching post or something that focus on the cat getting exercise. Neutered and spayed cats make pleasant companions. Any good animal shelter will have healthy cats available. Remember a cat you picked up from the shelter is actually saved from death by you. To convey a proper image, choose a name for the cat from Abby, Achilles to Zummo. There are lots and lots of fancy names to choose from. If so the cat has ticks. You ll need to ask your vet about having the tick removed as you can not do this yourself without risking the tick s head staying behind in your pet s skin. In order to get them under control, you ll need to use one of the liquid flea and tick treatments. You can also use flea or tick collars and baths as well. It would be ideal to have a separate room for the new kitten, your new little pet will need her own litter box, and food and water bowl. Some kittens will hide out under furniture for some days, more adventurous ones will be eager to explore their new home almost straight away. Do not try and force kitty to leave the room, you will know when she is ready. Your cat can tell if you are anxious, so don t worry if things go wrong. Keep calm and start again. Don t force training on your cat, only attempt it when it seems happy to do so. Don t move too quickly, or the cat might misunderstand. When teaching a kitten only do it for half hour a day and only repeat a few times.
