Cats
Regularly:
- Keep teeth clean with brushing (use toothpaste designed for cats and consider using a finger toothbrush), sprays, chewable pills, hard food and/or chewable toys
- Clean ears with cotton balls, etc. (avoid cleaning ears with cotton swabs) approx. every 1-2 weeks • swabs can push wax, etc. further into the ear canal
- Use a shampoo designed for cats
If cat misbehaves (e.g., aggressive):
- Try to spend more time with your cat • many cats misbehave when they are bored or stressed
- Provide sufficient toys
If cat scratches furniture:
- Try to avoid declawing your cat • it hurts the cat • it will make it difficult for your cat to defend itself (e.g., by climbing to avoid predators) if it gets outside
- Use a scratching post and put catnip on it
