Instruction
1. Attentively examine a kitten. He should not limp, drop to front or hinder legs, scratch or shake constantly the head. All these actions can be a consequence of a disease or congenital defect.
2. Choosing a thoroughbred kitten, specify the list of possible defects of breed in reference books. For example, skotish-folda can have unpleasant feature under the name "rigid tail". Such kittens will have an array of problems in the future, besides incorrectly accrete vertebras cause them constant pain.
3. Take a kitten on hands. Glance to him in ears – inside there should not be dark crusts. The healthy kitten has no allocations from eyes and a nose. Run fingers over wool – it has to be dense, brilliant, without bald spots. If on it dandruff is noticeable or down looks dim and felted, the kitten, most likely, is unhealthy.
4. Glance under a tail of the kid. If about an anus there are yellowish drips, the small animal can have problems with intestines. Can point to it also the general appearance. Too inflated "barrel-shaped" body or, on the contrary, excessive leanness – an occasion to prick up the ears. A healthy animal has to be well-fed, but not grown fat.
5. Pay attention to behavior of a kitten. The healthy kid is curious, active, vividly is interested in the events. If he constantly shouts, perhaps, the small animal feels pain or discomfort. Hernia or other diseases often is found in whining kids.
6. Offer the kid a delicacy piece. The healthy kitten will surely become interested in a treat. If he turns away or moves back, perhaps, he will have problems with appetite.
7. Consider that except health the behavior of a kitten is affected also by his temperament. If you want to buy a live and active small animal, choose the most vigorous kid from a dung. If you are interested in a quiet "sofa" cat, give preference to a silent and phlegmatic kitten.
