Socializing Cats With Other Pets

Cats are very defensive and particular about their territory.
They do not like other animals invading their homes.
They do not like other animals like rats, dogs or birds etc disturbing them so if you have other pets at home then you need to make special arrangements so that they can stay together with the cat.
In case there is a dog at your home then the new kitten would be very scared of the dog, specifically if the kitten has not ever seen a dog or lived with dogs.
You should introduce the kitty to dog slowly and eventually let your dog sniff your cat and then both the cat and dog will get to each others scent.
After a span of one or two days you should keep the cat in the carrier from where it can smell and watch the dog from safe distance.
After a while when you think it's the right time to introduce two animals bring out the cat and let it meet with the dog.
Never leave the animals alone unless you are strongly sure that they are not going to fight.
While at times cats and dogs are happy to live together in the house, some may prefer to live in their own territorial boundaries within the house.
You should be able to understand whether your cat and dog accept each other and prefer to live with each other or not.
In case you have other animals like birds, fishes, reptiles at home then you may not prefer to let your cat met them.
As cats are hunters by nature they may consider your small bird, fish or guinea pig as a prey.
Your other pets may be scared and develop fear when it faces the cat.
If your cats is allowed to move inside the rooms if your house where other pets also live then you should keep a check that the tanks and cages etc are strong and safe enough and that the cat cannot reach inside them.
Your feline pals are also worthy for the same kind of attention and respect like other people similar to your friends and members from family.
They give us company and also enliven our moods whenever we feel low.
They help us wake up when we are in deep sleep and also entertain us with their funny and loving gestures.
We should also take care of cats and nurture our association with them.
Cats are independent in nature however some interaction with human everyday is really instrumental in showing them that we really care for them.
A simple snuggle full of affection is far impacting.
But it is important to know that your kitty may not want to be touched all the time, so it is better to leave it alone at that time.
Give your loving cat a fulsome feed but do not over-feed them.
Consult a veterinarian for the most appropriate diet for your cat and do not prefer buying cat food which is cheap in quality.
You should always provide your cat fresh and pure water to drink.
It will be really angry is it does not have water to drink when it is thirsty.
Imagine how would you feel when you want water and you are not able to drink it when thirsty? Now you must be aware why at times your kitty licks the spout.
It is important to clean litter regularly.
In case you have more than one cat then it is insisted that you use a separate litter pan for each cat.
It is OK that the cats may share one pan but some cats are really particular and they do not like sharing.
In case you are using same pan, the litter must be clean for the kitty, otherwise there may be instances of vengeance in your cat's form of an accident.
Never tease or abuse your cat, this may annoy them.
Enjoy the time playing with your cat but never be forceful.
