3 tips for raising small kittens
When raising a baby kitten, the first thing you need to do is make sure the kitten is getting its proper nutritional needs. A kitten is a fragile animal and must be given the necessary attention and activity regime to maintain its health. Kittens are playful creatures. They are curious and often mischievous; one must make sure that he or she has the energy to care for such a fiery creature. Here are three important tips for raising a baby kitten:
- If children will be around the kitten, make sure they know how to behave around the new creature. Children can often be too rough with new animals and cause serious damage. The damage caused could result in serious injury or death. Leaving a kitten alone with a child under the age of about five or who doesn’t know right from wrong can be detrimental to the kitten.
- The kitten must have the proper hygiene tools (as crazy as it sounds). A good keeper should provide a suitable litter box and ensure that it is cleaned regularly. Also, properly raising a kitten means making sure the animal knows where its food and water are.
- Make sure the kitten gets the love it needs. Cuddling and playing with the kitten is an important step in its development. Another important step in raising a cat is knowing when to spay and/or neuter the animal.
In addition, the kitten should also have all shots and should be taken to the vet if problems arise. Making sure your kitten’s eyes and ears are clean is also an important part of raising a kitten. Regular examination of the kitten’s gums should also be done to ensure that oral diseases are not a problem. A kitten’s gums should be pink, not red, and their fur should be well groomed and groomed. Flaky scalp and/or fleas can seriously harm the kitten.
When you bring a kitten home, don’t force it into the new environment. Let the animal go out on its own and explore its new home. A pet carrier is probably the best way to bring a new kitten home. Keeping other animals as far away as possible with the new kitten in the beginning is also important. Natural instincts can cause violent reactions from the kitten or other animals that come into contact with the new kitten. In short, make sure that the kitten is properly handled, fed and that its hygiene is as good as possible.
