General Cat Health Care

General cat health is also extremely important as a kitten so that they can grow up to be healthy throughout the rest of their life. Cat health care is one of the most important subjects for responsible and loving cat owners to be aware of. It involves prevention, understanding, and sometimes treatment of a possible life-threatening disease. Cat health care is also affected by lack of exercise and poor diet. You can love your cat into a state of being unhealthy without enough exercise and proper nutrition.

Talk to cat owners who have older cats. Ask them about cat health care for their older cats. What are the problems and what are the right foods and nutritional needs that fall under the term elderly care. If your cat does not receive the proper food and nutrition, they may have problems with their health. Talking about cat health care in advance will make it easier for everyone when the time comes.

Natural cat food is always a welcome one for all pet owners. There are brands of cat food that contains no chemicals and has lots of white meat and vegetables. The prices of these products will vary but because of the balanced diet, correct protein, and vitamins you are going to find the priced higher then the "store brand".

Heat and humidity degrade nutritional value, so do your best to buy fresh food. Once opened, your cat's dry food should be stored in a sealed pet feeder container to preserve freshness. As for soreness in your cat, heat is a good soother, heated cat beds or a heated throw will give much relief to this painful complaint. Massage is often beneficial but should be administered with care. Your vet will give you complete direction as to how long to do it.

Bad breath is another unhealthy sign. Your cat should have strong white teeth without odor. Dry cat food will give them strong gums, good healthy teeth, and that will give them clean breath.

Symptoms of flea allergy include hair loss, redness, and sometimes sores known as hot spots. Symptoms of diabetes in your cat include excessive urination and drinking along with weight loss or sudden obesity. If you find that your cat develops diabetes you need to carefully regulate diet and monitor blood sugar levels.

Fleas carry many diseases and can transmit these to your cats. Fleas carry the tapeworm cyst inside them and your cat inevitably swallows fleas during routine grooming .When this happens it is then that the tapeworm hatches and grows in your cat's stomach. Natural flea control methods and products provide a safer alternative to chemical insecticides. If you cannot reasonably control fleas with this "safer" approach, then consider stronger measures.

Vaccinations ('shots') can help keep your cat from getting many of the serious diseases which can make your cat sick, or may even threaten your cat's life. Your cat's individual lifestyle and situation will determine which vaccinations your cat needs to have and how often these vaccines need to be given. You will need to keep the shots up to date.

Remember that the main reason to spay is to prevent pregnancy, not to eliminate a cat's normal behavior, however, removing the ovaries also reduces the risk or mammary cancer.

Remember that advice simply can't be a substitute for proper medical attention. Only your vet can say exactly what is best for your cat. Remember to give your kitty a hug today and be thankful that they are with you!

Purchase price - about a £20 donation at your local Cats Protection League.

Food - depends, you can get real cheap stuff from the supermarket for like 50p a can, but it isn't good stuff! Halfway decent stuff like Iams probably more like £3.99 for a box of pouches. Kittens need to eat 3 times a day until they're neutered, then twice a day.

Neuter - ring round local vets for quotes, they vary. My surgery (in Northwest Kent) charge £55 for a spay and £37 for a castration.

Litter box - about £3!

Cat litter - a huge sackful might be about £14, it really varies so much.

The next 6 things- just check www.petsathome.co.uk

Flea control - only get from a vet. Pet store stuff is cheaper, don't fall for it as it doesn't work. Frontline about £16 for a 3 month supply.

Heartworm prevention - you also need intestinal parasite protection, more common in cat too. You can get an all round tablet from the vets for like £4, needs to be given every 3 months in an adult cat, but monthly til the kitten is 6 months old.

Training aids - ??? these are for dogs

Vet bills - depends what's wrong! A consult fee costs £15-£30 approx, you don't have to pay it when you get vaccines, it's included in the price.

Vaccines - again, ring for quotes as it varies so much. We charge £43.84 for full vaccine, £28.65 for without leukaemia.

Ear/dental care - shouldn't need routine ear cleaning, only done if there's a problem. Feed dry food and clean the cat's teeth and you may be able to avoid dental work once the cat's about 8 - this can cost around £150-£200 for scale and polish and extractions.

Vitamins/Fatty acids - don't give supplements. They don't need them if they're on a decent quality food, it should all be in there. Excess vitamins cause problems.

Treats/toys - again look in petsathome, depends what you want. Though most cats are happy enough with a piece of string and a ball of foil!!
