- All indoor cats NEED a litter box. Pick a spot to place the box that is hidden from house guests. Avoid moving the box unless absolutely necessary, but if you must do so, move the box just a few inches per day. Keep in mind that cats won’t use a messy, smelly litter box, so scoop solid wastes out of the box at least once a day.
- Cats need to scratch! When a cat scratches, the old outer nail is pulled off and the sharp, new claws underneath are exposed. You can buy a cheap scratching post at any pet store or even leave cardboard boxes laying around.
- Female cats should be spayed and male cats neutered by five months
- Keep food and water out at all times. Ask your veterinarian what kind of food he/she recommends as there are many brands for different aged cats.
