How To Be A Responsible Cat Owner Now that you have a cat or several cats in the house, you need to think about how you can be a responsible cat owner and provide for the needs of your cats. This means that you have to think about the cats living conditions, feeding, grooming, and clean-up. Regarding your cat s living conditions, this will be largely influenced by your own lifestyle. Make sure to clean the food bowls everyday. Put them in the dishwasher if possible after throwing out the old food and dropping the dish in the dishwasher. Don t leave the food sitting out as it can spoil. And, make sure to clean your cat s water bowl daily as well. Keep it full of clean fresh water. You don t have to walk the cat and you don t have to deal with it barking at everything that happens to walk by your home. Young cats are extremely playful and you can interact with them when you want to. However, most cats are content to play with toys or to be independent. This doesn t mean that cats aren t excellent companions though.
