How to Keep Your Kitten Safe
Kittens are the cutest little things. Cat owners get all excited over seeing large-eared little kitties running and zigzagging about, and falling all over one another, but just like human babies they really don’t have an inkling about the world. They run basically on energy and get all revved up with excitement, and then just run, and jump without much forethought. So if you’re a new owner to one or more kittens, it’ll be up to you, to be your kitten’s guardian, to make sure you not only feed him the proper cat food, but to also make sure they don’t wind up getting into dangerous situations or getting hurt. Here are some quick tips on how to keep your kitten safe:
1. Keep your kittens in a kennel or an open-topped box filled with newspaper or a towel, to keep them out of trouble when you cannot keep an eye on them. If you’ve adopted two kittens, they will probably be fine with that, since they have company. If your kitten is by himself, and is meowing a lot, you may want to put in a small stuffed animal, or wrap up a ticking clock in a soft towel and put it in the box to soothe him.
2. Purchase cat food that is especially for kittens as you want to make sure that they are not only getting the proper nutrition but that the morsels are the right size and that they won’t hurt your kitten’s new teeth. Depending on how old your kittens are, you may be restricted to a certain type of cat food. Check with your veterinarian. I highly recommend a premium cat food such as Life’s Abundance. It is a top rated premium grade cat food which is formulated by Dr. Jane Bicks.
3. Keep your kittens away from other pets until they are old enough to have strong immune systems. Depending on how old your kitten is they may be more susceptible to sickness, and because they may not have received all of their vaccinations this makes them even more vulnerable. So segregate your kittens from any other pets you have, especially if those other pets are exposed to other animals on a regular basis.
