Cats are both incredible and incredibly finicky. You have many issues to consider when you have one, ranging from different diets to having their nails clipped at the vet’s office. The article below offers tips you can use to offer your cat whatever it needs.

Keep your cat away from your drapery cords. Cats love to play with hanging cords and this poses the threat of your cat hurting themselves or becoming entangled. This could kill them. Pin back drape cords to avoid this type of issue.

If you own a female cat, it’s crucial to spay it at the appropriate age. Even if she is an inside cat, you need to spay her because she could get out. Having your cat spayed is the only way to 100 percent prevent accidental litters.

Spray electrical cords with some bitter apple to prevent cats from getting electrocuted. If your cat happens to be a champion cord-chewer, you’ll need to use cord covers to protect your cords. Use some paper towel rolls to tuck loose cords. Electronic items with thin, tempting cords should always be put away when not in use.

Your house can really get torn apart by a cat’s claws. If your beloved feline friend is shredding and damaging parts of your home, try investing in a cat tower or a scratching post. Use catnip or other scents that are attractive to your kitty to encourage him to go there. It might take time, but eventually you will see that the damage to your furniture is diminished.

Think about having a microchip inserted in your cat. Even though a cat may live inside, you never know if it will run out the door to escape. A tagged collar might help get kitty home, but it can just as easily come off if snagged on a branch. Microchips are as small as a rice grain and have all of your important contact information. All shelters and vets have scanners to ensure your cat gets home safely.

Cats are known for spending inordinate amounts of time grooming themselves. Hairballs are very common for long-haired cats. To help prevent this from occurring, buy your cat special food. Certain kinds of cat food are made to decrease hairballs. As a result, you and your cat will be happier.

Male felines tend to have a build-up of crystals that present in the urine, so you need to avoid this with proper nutrition. Passing those crystals hurts and having this corrected by a vet is expensive. Feed your cat food that is low in magnesium. Look over the label. Fish products tend to be higher in magnesium than poultry products.

Looking after a cat is a lot of work, but you will also find that owning a cat is a very rewarding experience. You can care for your cat best with the tips in this article. Everything you learn will improve the quality of your life and of your pet’s!
