How to Take Care of an Adult Cat

The puberty of our cat begins about six months and reaches the adult age between 1 and 3 years (the big breeds or of long hair can be adult more late. Although our cat is not already a kitty, the daily routine of eating, to beautify and playing continues being the same. If there is some change, it is that to be told to the veterinarian.

An important difference between the kitties and the adult animal is that this one has the possibility of reproducing: and he will do it if you let him free. Until that you have a pedigree cat that want to cross, it is advisable to sterilize the cat before he comes to the sexual maturity. The cats without neutering them – especiallly the males-tend to escape and fighting more; and the males "will" "mark" his territory (as inside like out of house) with rusts of an acrid smell.

How to have a "cat proof" house
It is necessary to treat that the house is to proof of feline accidents. The cats almost never are slow, but explore everything what they can. It is necessary put the fragile things out of his reach, better in a showcase than in a open shelf. A cat can climb over a chimney, jump on the stoves of the kitchen, bite the cords of the electrical devices or knock down a warm flat-iron that is in the table of ironing.

They can eat a poisonous plant, to get into a washer or a wringer, to sit down under a car or, still worse, to get below inside the capá and to establish himself precisely close to the engine. The kitties and young cats are those that get into messes more easily. When they approach something potentially dangerous, it is necessary to shout them coldly "Don't!". It is not necessary to tempt the luck: to close doors, to stop or turn off the devices and take the things away. Do not let the opened windows.

The cats – the same as the kitties- need to play for not get bored and they could break things. If one is out of the house most of the day, it is necessary to think about a feline partner for our cat. For a cat of interior there is excellent a polysport feline that uses him as amusement and to do exercise.

If you do not want to have the cat inside the house all the time, a cathole is very useful in order that the cat enters and goes out when he wants. If there is a space, the ideal thing is two catholes: one that you take to a porch or to a lumber room or closed garage and the other one, with closing, inside the house. A closed cathole will do that they do not bring not wished gifts - as mice and birds- while one is out. Also he will avoid the visits of the adventurous cats of the vicinity.
