 Are you a cat owner? If yes, you know how precious these animals are. Cats are animals that want plenty of care and affection. Thankfully, it is possible to give your cat all he needs. This article describes how you can turn into a great owner.
 
 Do not assume that because a medication is okay so you might take, that it is safe for your cat as well. Many medications designed for humans are lethal to cats, such as for example acetaminophen containing drugs and aspirin. Always check together with your veterinarian before you give your cat anything.
 
 Get a scratching post to keep your cat from tearing up your carpet. When you can, get a post that will not have the same type of carpet that is on the floor of your home, which means that your cat doesn't associate both. Instead, get a post that is covered in cardboard, sisal, or thick rope.
 
 Feed your cat a proper diet. Cats are carnivores and have specific dietary needs. Feed them quality cat food that has been approved by AAFCO or the Association of American Feed Control Officials. If you want to make your cat's food yourself, be sure you speak with a vet about necessary supplements or specific recipes your cat needs to eat.
 
 If your cat takes all of the ornaments off the Christmas tree, don't fight it. Begin collecting attractive cat toys and unbreakable ornaments to decorate the tree next year. Be sure never to decorate with potentially dangerous items like tinsel and garlands. Tinsel is really a choking hazard for cats and garlands can cause strangulation.
 
 Learn how much food you are said to be feeding your cat. While cat food containers give general information, find out from your vet how much food your cat should be eating. Many owners do not do this, and find yourself overfeeding their cats. Take time to find out the proper amount so you don't end up getting an overweight kitty.
 
 Do not use medicine meant for your dog on a cat. That is especially very important to topical medicines. Cats do their own cleaning, and if a dog medicine can be used on a cat, your dog can ingest it. There are some medicines that work with both dogs and cats, but only use them if the vet says it is okay.
 
 Having trouble giving your cat a bath? Try out this. Take an old window screen and put it in your sink or bathtub. Put your cat in, and he'll claw the screen and stay there. Then start washing, but do don't dilly dally. Use a cup absolutely help pour warm water on your own cat unless you have a movable shower head.
 
 If you want a cat that is well-behaved and not susceptible to biting and scratching, make sure that you do not try to adopt one when it's too young. It requires 12-16 weeks for a kitten to learn proper cat behavior from their mom and all of their siblings.
 
 Just as important since it is to take care of your own teeth, you will need to take care of your cats aswell. Cats can develop tarter and plaque build-up over time. Purchasing a toothbrush and toothpaste made specially for felines is a good way to keep your cats teeth clean and healthy.
 
 If you've just met a cat, don't look at them to them. Cats do not like being stared at by people they don't know. That's why they are more comfortable if you're not looking at them. They're more prone to approach you that way, and more more likely to kindly regard you in the foreseeable future.
 
 Cats want to climb trees. This is the natural tendency, that can be hard for some indoor cats to control. If you find that your cat generally is climbing up your curtains, it is time to invest in a cat tower. This will provide your cat a place to climb, in a safer and less destructive way.
 
 When you bring home a new cat for the first time, the experience can be overwhelming for you both. Instead of granting access to your entire home, introduce your dog to its new environment one room at the same time. For example, you may place your cat's carrier in your study or den. So long as the carrier door is open, you should be in the room with the animal.
 
 You love your cat, and you also want to make sure you're giving it the best care you can. After reading this article, you should have an excellent foundation of knowledge on how to care for your pet. Use these tips for a happier cat. Your cat will like you if you value him.
