Perhaps, you as the civilized person wanted to buy a thoroughbred kitten with documents, but here on the way on a stop to you under legs the peeping miracle rushed, and your heart thawed. Appearance of a cat in the house is always joy. But nevertheless there is a number of councils that needs to be made when you bring a kitten from the street.
Visit of the veterinarian
First of all you need to carry your new pet in veterinary clinic. By sight quite healthy kitten can suffer from a number of problems with health, and it not to mention the parasites living on a hair and skin of kittens. Also the veterinarian will determine the age of a kitten and a floor. In addition, the veterinarian will tell you, than to feed your animal what hygienic procedures to carry out (for example, cleaning of ears, a podstriganiye of claws, etc.) and will make the schedule of inoculations. In the same place, in veterinary clinic, you will be able to process a kitten from fleas and ticks at the beginning. A street animal it is better to process the first time at the veterinarian as he will be able to carry out processing by the most strong means, at the same time without having done much harm to an animal. Further it will be necessary for you only once in 1-2 months to spend preventive processings already at home.
Visit of pet-shop
Having left a cat on for an hour or two on care of veterinarians, you need to visit pet-shop and to prepare everything for arrival of the new resident of your house. There is a shopping list:
- cat's tray;
- filler for a tray;
- cat's berth;
- claw sharpener;
- bowls for food and water;
- 5-7 cat's toys;
- a brush for combing of a hair (do not take with iron teeths as they very much tear up wool; stop the choice on a brush with a bristle better);
- shampoo;
- collar;
- carrying;
- vitamins for kittens;
- spray - "anti-reptiles".
Acquaintance to the house
Cats like to feel like owners. Having let a kitten the first time in the house, let's it look round and be sniffed, so to speak, to estimate the situation. For street cats can be at first unusual to be in the closed space, but, as a rule, the maximum in a month passes feeling of discomfort.
Observe a kitten. As a rule, cats like to choose, where to them to sleep and where to go to a toilet. If you noticed that to a cat a certain place took a closer look, place there its berth that he knew that it is only its safe territory.
Now about campaigns in a toilet. Cats are very clean by nature, they spend 80% of time a day for care for wool. So the fact that, skhodiv in a tray only once, the kitten will begin to celebrate further the needs only there is quite logical. But nevertheless secure yourself: process all secluded corners and also a floor under footwear special spray - "antigadiny" according to the instruction. Cat's allocations practically do not give in to removal.
Feed a cat, thereby having defined for him the place where he will eat further. There are two power supply circuits: when the cat has unlimited access to a forage and when the forage moves a la carte on hours. Consult to the veterinarian what power supply circuit it is better to prefer initially. And for God's sake, you do not feed a kitten with milk or fish. Actually, these products are contraindicated to cats. Replace milk with fermented baked milk, and fish – with boiled beef or chicken. Pork it is impossible too.
About games. Till the five-months period kittens very playful so be going to give a couple of hours in day to games with your pet that he did not feel abandoned. Do not play with an animal hands as the cat who got used to rush on hands, grown up can injure you considerably. Buy a special stick with strings or a ball on the end better and play it. If the cat and continues to jump on hands, get a special small spray with water and every time during next "attempt" splash to a kitten in a muzzle water. He will begin to associate throws on hands or legs with unpleasant feelings soon.
Also you love the kitten. Do not abuse him, it is all the same will not help. Better kindness and caress try to turn his behavior in the course desirable to you.
