Socializing Your Kittens

A huge part of kitten development is socializing your kitten with both human family members as well as any other animals in your household. The old adage about dogs not getting along with cats is anything but true, however some dogs have a strong prey instinct and cannot decipher a cat from a rabbit. For this reason, proper interspecies interaction and overall behavior requires hands-on, responsible, and sustained social development including:

Litter box training
Frequent petting and cuddling
Toy introduction
Exploration with boxes, paper bags, etc.
Rewarding good behavior with treats
Redirection from biting or scratching
Introduction to new people and animals in a controlled environment
Weekly combing and grooming and handling
Nail trimming
As you can see, kitten development is filled with fun but requires you to be actively involved in the process. It is critically important that you consider the time commitment necessary to do your part and ensure proper kitten development.

Caring for a kitten

How often do you take your cat to the veterinarian? In observance of National Cat Health Month, we want to remind you that even if your cat does not appear to be sick, preventative care is important.

Groom your cat regularly

Whether your cat has short or long fur, he will benefit greatly from regular brushing or combing. This helps remove the dead hair from his coat so he doesn’t ingest it while self-grooming. It also gives you the chance to notice any changes to his body. Irregularities such as lumps, bumps or sore spots can then be investigated right away by your veterinarian.

Provide fresh water daily

Clean, fresh water is essential for your cat’s good health. If your cat doesn’t seem to drink from a bowl, consider providing her with a tall glass (some cats don’t like to bend down to drink) or a cat fountain. Be sure to replenish the water with a fresh supply every day.

Make sure you have enough litter boxes

A general rule of thumb for litter boxes is one for each cat plus one more. So if you have 2 kittens or cats, you should have 3 litter boxes. To encourage good litter box habits, keep the litter boxes clean. This may mean scooping more than once per day. Regular cleaning will also help you notice any changes in your cat’s urine or stool, which could indicate a health issue.
