 | Cat House PlanWhat kind of cat house you plan on getting for your cat has a lot to do with what kind of relationship you hope to build with your feline. If you want a friendly but distant relationship then you could plan on building your cat an outdoor enclosure and cat house. If you plan on developing a close and intimate relationship with your cat then you will want to think about having it live in the house with you and your family. If you build your cat an enclosure, wood is one of the best materials to use. Never use breakable, toxic or potentially dangerous materials in the construction of any cat house, cat enclosure or cat furniture. Concerning the type of relations you foster with your cat, a lot depends on you. Cats can be very affectionate towards humans, especially if you spend a lot of time with them from a very young age and treat them with consistent affection. The relationships between cats and people varies greatly. There are people who simply keep cats because of their mouse hunting abilities. And there are cat lovers who go to great lengths to pamper their cats, treating them as if they were children. Cats have been known to even mimic human behavior. Such behavior may include a trip to the litter box before bedtime and snuggling up close to its companion in bed or on the sofa. Cats are also capable of learning to communicate with humans using non-spoken language or body language. Allergies to cat dander are one of the most common causes for people taking a disliking to cats. Many chose to cope with cat allergies by taking prescription allergy medicine and bathing their cats frequently, since weekly bathing will eliminate about 90% of the cat dander present in the environment. When you are planning for your new cat remember that with all the fun also comes the responsibility and work. |
