Resource for cat and kitten care information. Learn about cat care, cat health, cat breeds, cat training, cat food and cat supplies.

Cats are people too! At least they think they are! The house cat is not just a cat, but is a part of the family. Cats and kittens are considered pretty easy to take care of but there are really quite a few things that you need to be aware of. Making sure that your kitty has all that it needs will ensure that he or she remains healthy and happy and lives a long life.

Cat Care

Take care of your new cat or kitten by paying attention to both his physical and mental health. Your kitty will need regular trips to the vet, nutritious food and lots of tender loving care. He loves to be petted. Petting him will let him know that he is loved and he will pay you back with his own version of loving - lots of purrs!

Cat Health

Pay attention to your cat's health by watching what she eats (do not over-feed), by playing with her to give her lots of exercise and by making sure she get the vaccinations that she needs to prevent feline diseases.

Cat Training

When starting to train a cat, a couple of things you will want to take in consideration. Learn more about your cat, have the proper tools to do the training and have lots of patience.

Cat Breeds

Cats have lived with humans throughout most of civilization. It has only been in the last hundred years or so that they have been selected and mated to provide distinct breeds. Many cat breeds have evolved.

Cat Food

Choosing the right cat food will keep your cat or kitten alert and active, with a glossy coat, bright eyes and a cool, moist nose. Feed your cat regularly - small meals spaced throughout the day - and give him or her a variety of textures and flavors.

Cat Supplies

You would think that since cats are such independent creatures that they wouldn't need much in the area of cat supplies. But, when you think about it, they need more than a lot of other types of pets. There are cat collars, litter boxes, cat toys, grooming supplies, cat scratching posts...the list can go on and on.
