Caring for a cat is a lot of work, even though they make great pets. The cost of vet bills, food, toys, and cat litter are enough to make any person reconsider owning a cat. The following are some ideas for making the process of cat care cost a bit less.

When looking for a new cat for your home, contact a local animal shelter. There are tons of loving cats there, and the fees often cover the needed vet care. Adopting from a pet shelter benefits the cat population.

If you have an outdoor kitty, make sure to invest in a break away collar with an identification tag. Cats sometimes travel a bit when outside, and a tag prevents any mishaps due to your cat being lost. Ensure that you at least put the name of your cat and your personal phone number on this tag.

Put bitter apple on all electrical cords. If your cat is especially intent on chewing cords, keep them covered as much as possible. Bundle electrical cords together inside a tube. Whenever you aren’t using any thin, electronic cords, you should store them away.

Cats love to play on kitchen counters, and it can be hard to break them of the habit. A cat will naturally want to be high enough to view everything around them. You may be able to battle this issue by giving your cat a high place to chill. Putting a cat tower in or near the kitchen can help keep the cats from laying on the counter.

You may want to have a microchip implanted in your cat. Even indoor cats get out sometimes. Collars or tags can identify your cat, but cats can wiggle out of those, and they are also at risk of getting hung up on something. A microchip, on the other hand, is inserted near your cat’s shoulder blades, takes only a second to do, and all of your current contact info can be read through the chip. Most shelters have a scanner that can pick up the facts located inside the chip.

Cats appreciate all the affection you can give. They want the same level of companionship that they give to you as their owner. Like people, cats like to socialize and need to feel like they’re an essential part of your life. They need to feel as though they are an important part of the family, as well.

Cat medications can be bought affordable online. You can’t always get it online. But if you have to regularly buy pet medicine, you can save 50% or more on some medicines by buying online.

Make a tablecloth for your cats. Cats often take food from their bowls to eat on the side. This can result in you having to clean up food outside its bowl if you don’t use a tablecloth. A simpler way to do this is by getting a place-mat and placing it under their bowl. You can also cut some fabric to make a tablecloth that can be lifted, washed, or shaken over a trash can.

Cats are a wonderful creature to share your space with, though they can be pricy. Cats have complex requirements, which leads many people to compare their needs to those of a small child. Thanks to this article, you now know what to do to make your cat a happy pet.
