Keeping cats in the house

It is worth doing this. Take a piece of napkin, dip it in the urine and put it in the cat's toilet. Put your cat in there, let her sniff a napkin. A place where your cat went for natural needs - carefully wash.

At the age of about seven months to one and a half years, your cat (if you have a female) may start estrus. Do not torture the animal, decide in advance whether you are ready to arrange cat weddings. If not, it is worth sterilizing the animal. If you have not done the sterilization, but do not want to raise numerous kittens, and your cat is simply bursting with a scream, give it special drops. But only those that are based on herbs. Contracexes of all kinds lead to oncological diseases of animals.

Pay more attention to your pet, play with it. For this fit various toys for cats. Their range is quite large in pet stores. These can be toy mice, bows, paper balls and sticks with feathers.
