If we are talking about low-maintenance pets, cats are very low maintenance compared to dogs which need walking, companionship, training, etc. However, like any animal pet, they do need care and love, and some of them need more care than others.
1. Pay attention to cat food
Like any other animal, for optimal development and growth, cats also need proper nutrition. To make that possible, it’s very important to know what nutrients and vitamins are in the cat food that you chose. As much as possible, we have to make sure our cats live a happy, long, and healthy life. The correct diet will support energy levels, physical health and mental health, and weight gain. A poor diet will lead to a shorter lifespan and health problems.
2. Regular grooming
They need brushing twice a week to keep them looking tidy and glowing, especially if they have long fur. Brushing will help remove tangle/dirt while also spreading healthy oils, keeping their look healthy (fur and skin), and preventing irritation. Short-haired cats are only needed to be brushed once a week.
3. Vaccinate your cat
Cat vaccines are very important since they’re proven to help these cute baby animals have a strong working immune system to fight diseases. All of your cats must be vaccinated to prevent life-threatening diseases. Vaccine types will vary based on the lifestyle of your cat. If your cat is always home and won’t come into contact with other cats, only the basic vaccines are needed. Visit the nearest vet for the process.
4. Perform Sterilization
Neutering male cats will lower testicular cancer rates. It will also help lower prostate problems in the future. Spaying a female cat helps prevent uterine problems and breast cancer. Research has shown that neutered and spayed pets live longer and happier.
5. Pay Attention to Cleanliness
Provide sand for the cat to do his “business” and provide a good comfy clean bed for the cute little baby. Don’t worry too much though, cat loves cleanliness.
