One of the most common reasons people get a second cat is to keep their first cat company. This is a pretty good reason, especially if you are away from home for days at a time. While cats generally seem like they only want attention when they want it, they still need attention and companionship, and if you're gone all the time, you are not offering it.
Another reason many people decide to get a second cat is because their first cat is getting up in age. A new kitten often renews the life of an older cat and gets them to have a little more energy, trying to teach the new cat who's the boss.
Before making the decision to get an additional cat, pay attention to your cat's personality when it comes to additions to the family. Is your cat a more solitary animal that likes his space? If so, he may not take kindly to another cat in the house.
All things considered, let's say you have decided to get that next cat. There are some things you need to do to make this transition a little more comfortable. First, all cats need their own space. So you may want to get a few cat houses to make sure each cat has its room. In addition to adding places to scratch and perch, cat houses also often have a place for cats to hide, if they are scared. New surroundings or new animals in the house will usually send cats to the cat houses, thinking their cat houses are a safe place to sort all the new things out.
In addition to having their own special cat houses, if you don't want old cats and new cats colliding, you need to make sure they have a complete set of independent things. That will include food and water bowls as well as toys. Eventually you may be able to get them to share these things, but when you are first bringing a new cat in, they all need to know they have their own items.
When first introducing a new cat into the new surroundings of your home, you need to take care and not just let him go. If you have a large crate that the new cat will be comfortable in, you may want to leave him in that crate for a few hours, or more while he gets used to the new sounds and smells of this new home. This will also give your old cat a little bit of time to go over to the newcomer and get to know his scent. Once you let the cat out of the crate, make sure he knows where the litter box, food and water are and keep and eye on both cats to make sure they are getting along.About the AuthorJesse Akre, author and owner of several home decor sites offers shoppers insight into purchasing stylish cat furniture,swanky cat houses and cat trees.

Cat Furniture – A Great Way To Give Your Cat Its Own Space

Now, the type of cat furniture that would provide your pet with a fantastic spot to sleep the night away would be a kitty condo or cat house. This type of furnishing is made out of some type of wood that is then covered in fabric that is both durable and soft like carpeting. Usually it will be cylindrical in shape, has enclosed sleeping areas, and can be one or multiple levels high. So, if you have more than one cat, they can all share the condo at night. Another nice option for sleeping for your cat is a luxury cat bed, which is just as plush and soft as your own bed.
Along with providing your cat a nice place to take it easy, there are also other cat furniture options perfect for letting your cat play and release some of its pent up energy. For example, you can purchase a kitty gym for it that, like the kitty condo, can have multiple levels and is made out of a durable soft fabric. However, instead of just being cylindrical in shape, it will have multiple perch areas, juxtaposing towers and boards where your cat can climb and jump, enclosed towers, and they can even come with hanging toys built right into them. There are other furniture options too besides the kitty gym where your cat can have a good time and they include cat trees, scratching posts, and cat steps, which are also nice for helping your cat get around.
If your cat already has a spot to play and rest, but you are still searching for a way to pamper it, there are a number of lovely cat accessories that you can purchase for it that allow you to do just that. For example, you can your cat jewelry, a decorative food and water dish, a hideaway litter box, and a slew of toys. For a fast and easy way to browse all the different options, forget about jumping in your car and heading to the nearest pet store. Instead, just go on the Internet and do some comparison shopping. Just by the click of the mouse you can check out everything that is available and once you do find something you want, it is shipped right to your door. Now, it cannot get any more convenient than that.
So, if you want to keep your cat out of your bed at night, give it a place of its own by purchasing some cat furniture for it. By getting some today, you can enjoy a good night’s rest tomorrow.About the AuthorJesse Akre, author, shares with the online consumer about cat furniture, cat houses and cat trees.

Cat Flea Control - Don't Let Fleas Bug Your Cat!

Because fleas can cause a condition in cats known as “pruritus” or an allergic reaction, keeping them at bay is an important step to keeping your pet healthy. For most cats, fleas are a nuisance; for cats that suffer from flea allergies, they can be life threatening. Knowing a little about fleas will help you to control them and to protect your pet better.
If your cat happens to be one of the more unfortunate felines who develops a flea allergy, quick elimination of these parasites is essential. A flea allergy can cause the cat to loose fur and weight and if the fleas are left unchecked they can eventually kill the cat. Additional medical treatment may also be required even after the fleas are gone.
Flea control is important to cat disease prevention even if your cat is not allergic to them. Fleas can cause health issues for cats too including anemia from the loss of blood, tapeworms (fleas eat the eggs and transmit them to other animals) and skin infections from the bites caused by fleas. Any one of these flea related health issues can have dire consequences for your pet.
So then, cat flea control is very important. The question now is how to go about it. There are multiple methods open to a cat owner. Powders and dips can be effective, but their inconvenience often means that they are not used properly or often enough to adequately control fleas.
When choosing to use the dips, powders and sprays it is often a good idea to combine them with the use of a flea collar. Be aware however, that flea collars can also cause an allergic reaction for your cat, especially if they already have an allergic reaction to the fleas. Perhaps the best defense against fleas is a spot flea treatment. This type of preventative is placed on the cats neck and protects against fleas, ticks and tapeworms.
When it comes to the environment, there are also several options for flea control. Flea bombs can kill fleas in carpets and bedding, though careful washing and vacuuming will help greatly in this endeavor also. For outside use, yard sprays can be quite effective.
Whatever you use for flea control, be sure to be consistent and follow the directions. Flea control products only work if they are applied often enough. Misapplication can lead to fleas slipping through the cracks, and neither you nor kitty wants that.About the AuthorDavid Lee, Get more info like cat health , cat flea control , pet steps and cat furniture
