 | Build wood cat house outdoorOnce a cat reaches adulthood, it is perfectly able to take care of itself and this is the time when if you decide you can build a wood cat house outdoors for it. It is not necessary for you to build a cathouse yourself, as there are many good companies and web sites that offer fantastic variety and value. Just remember that along with reaching adulthood comes sexual maturity and as nature would have it for males this is probably the time when it will attempt to have its first mating driven escapades. Cats have special abilities to escape almost any enclosure, and this is due to the fact that they want to explore the outside world. You have probably heard that, "Cats never get lost." Well, believe it or not, this is pretty close to the truth. Cats have a very good sense of orientation. So don't get too nervous when you can't find your male "tom" cat, as it will most definitely find you, especially once it gets hungry. The way cats are able to find their way around is by marking their territory (urinating). Doing this helps them in a couple ways, one is so that they can communicate with other cats, and it also helps them to find their way back home. Cats reach full sexual maturity at the age of six months. And if you are not intending for your cat to have babies, it's important to take the cat to the veterinarian at this age to take the necessary precautions of having it neutered or spayed. Make sure to start training your cat from a young age, as it is easier then starting when it is already older. Make sure to provide your cat with a comfortable and accepting environment and whether you decide to build it a wood outdoor cat house or an indoor it is always a good idea to get it insulated. |
