Cat Care Guide

Description

In this course, you will understand a cat’s behavior and how to care for a cat. There are many things to keep in mind when owning a cat. Here are a few tips on how to improve the health and quality of life of your cat. Help your cat feel at ease and express her natural behavior every day. Whether you’ve just adopted a new pet or you’ve had animals your whole life, there are surely care tips that you didn't know - but should. Have a calm area in your home with your pet’s bed or blanket, some toys, and a water bowl, where your pet can feel safe and can easily take naps during the day. This can help your pet to self-soothe during stressful situations, like parties, a baby crying, or thunderstorms. If your pet was crate trained as a rescue pet or when joining your family, keeping their crate open and available even after they no longer need it for training may provide them with a perfect place just for them that they’ll love to have. Don’t feed your pet human foods on purpose unless recommended by your veterinarian. Some human foods may be recommended intentionally by your vet for specific reasons such as digestive upset, as highly motivating training treats, or diarrhea, in small quantities. In this course, you will get to know how, when, where, and when the cats were domesticated, what the main cat breeds are, and what their characteristics are. This way you will be able to decide what cat breed suits you best before you decide to buy a new cat. There are some basic rules you should consider whenever you bring a new cat home. You should prepare your home as well as your family members in order to properly receive the new pet. In case you already have pets you should understand how they will interact with the new cat to prevent unwanted aggression or other issues. The food and the shelter of your new cat are also very important issues to consider. Although people tend to feed cats with human food, cats have a different type of anatomy and different needs and may not get the proper nutrients from human food. Another important issue is nail clipping. If this procedure isn't properly done, the cat may be injured and that can be avoided by properly understanding the paw anatomy as well as the proper clipping procedure. Cats have specific behaviors, that may sometimes bother their owners and this is why every new owner should have a good understanding of the cat's behavior, before deciding to buy a new cat. This way problems in the interaction with humans can be prevented. Sterilization is another issue that cat owners have to deal with. Like any medical procedure, sterilization has both advantages as well as disadvantages. Taking the decision of sterilizing a cat is not reversible, so every owner should understand the consequences of this decision in the first place. Talking to a vet can be very helpful, in order to make the right decision. Like in any other species, cats have specific behavior problems that can bother the owner, such as scratching, biting, or marking. This course will help you understand those behaviors better as well as know how to deal with them. Health problems are another issue that worries every cat owner. This course presents the main health issues of cats and how they can be treated. In human history, cats have always played an important role and they have been portrayed in literature and mythology as having extraordinary senses and abilities. The fascination of humans with cats is due not only to the beauty of the felines but also to their intelligence and social nature, which makes them loved by everyone.
