Nutrition
|
|
|
|
Good nutrition is extremely important to ensure
that your cat lives a long, happy and healthy life. It is one of
the best (and easiest) things you can do for them.
Read the labels! Look for naturally preserved
foods with wholesome ingredients. Some foods are made with animal
parts that offer no nutritional value and are full of chemicals
and preservatives.

Scratching Posts
You will need a scratching post for your cat--declawing
is a painful, dangerous and unnecessary procedure which holds no
benefit for your pet. Declawed cats often develop behavioral
problems that become even more undesirable than inappropriate
scratching (such as biting and litter box avoidance).

Most posts sold in pet stores are carpeted or with
lightweight sisal
and are not very effective. High-quality scratching posts can
be
ordered through such vendors as Felix Post (the Felix Extra
Large
Katnip Tree) by calling 206.547.0042 or TopCat at
www.topcatproducts.com.
