We all know that cats are loving and truly wonderful creatures.\u00a0 These days, it isn\u2019t out of the ordinary to see a cat in virtually every other home, sleeping in the window or cuddling up on the laps of their owners.\u00a0 Although cats have been popular pets for as long as most can remember, they weren\u2019t domesticated less than 5,000 years or so ago.\u00a0 Domestication took place in the valley of the Nile, which is what research tells us today.<\/p>\n
In the beginning, people were very grateful to cats and encouraged them to stay with them by feeding them various scraps of food.\u00a0 Once they were fed and perceived humans to be no threat, the cats would move in permanently with their human owners.\u00a0 As time went by, even the wildest of cat would allows humans to approach him, often times even hold and touch as well.<\/p>\n
In those days, cats were very loyal and endearing pets.\u00a0 They proved to be great hunters, as they done their sleeping in short periods and were much easier to wake up than dogs.\u00a0 Cats also have better night vision than dogs, and much better hearing as well.\u00a0 If someone moved through the house or if they heard suspicious noises, they would wake while dogs would sleep right through it.\u00a0 Humans loved having cats around, and they seemed to get along good with dogs as well.<\/p>\n
These days, cats are used for both companionship and show.\u00a0 They aren\u2019t used much at all for hunting mice and rodent anymore at all.\u00a0 There are a lot of breeds available, from the traditional alley cat to the well known Siamese.\u00a0 All breeds are unique in their own way, and will provide you with years of companionship if you take care of them.<\/p>\n
Before you get a kitten or older cat, you\u2019ll first want to examine the source.\u00a0 If you are getting the kitten from a breeder, you\u2019ll want to make sure that the breeder has a reputable reputation.\u00a0 You\u2019ll also want to ensure that the cattery is clean and in good shape.\u00a0 The kittens that are still there shouldn\u2019t be overcrowded, and their surroundings should be clean.\u00a0 The litter boxes there should be kept up and both the food and water dish should be clean and full.\u00a0 The kittens shouldn\u2019t be caged, instead free to run around.\u00a0 All cats that are there should appear healthy, with shiny coats and none of their ribs showing.<\/p>\n
When you get your kitten, it should be used to being touched and handled.\u00a0 The kitten should be sweet, not afraid in the least.\u00a0 Kittens that have been handled young normally have a better temperament.\u00a0 The better breeders won\u2019t allow their kittens to leave the nest until they are around 12 weeks old, with some waiting until the kittens are 16 weeks.\u00a0 By doing this, breeders ensure that the kitten is in good health and his immune system has properly developed.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s no mistaken the fact that cats are great to own.\u00a0 You can get a kitten from a reputable breeder, through a local newspaper, or an adoption agency.\u00a0 Cats can also be obtained from a local pound, although people normally don\u2019t like to choose this option.\u00a0 No matter which way you decide to pursue, you should always make sure that your cat is healthy.\u00a0 If you get a healthy cat, you won\u2019t have a lot of problems later on down the road.\u00a0 Healthy cats were taken care of \u2013 and normally have everything up to date \u2013 including their vaccinations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
