Kitten training is seldom the first thing on our minds when we bring home a new kitten. With the big eyes, soft fur, and adorable little paws, who has time to think about actually training the kitten?

Raw kitten food is something that many pet owners have never before considered serving to their pets. After all, with all the bags and cans and pouches lining supermarket shelves and available on the Internet, why would you even consider making up your own kitten food? It’s not like there aren’t dozens of varieties available, most of them with bright labels touting their value, both nutritional for the cat and financial for the owner. While it may not be for everyone, there are a number of reasons to consider making your own kitten food at home and how you can make it a safe, economical choice.

Kitten bathing may for many people seem to be a redundant process. After all, any cat owner can tell you that a large portion of a cat’s daily life is spent grooming itself. What is not so commonly known, however, is that most of the allergens that people who are allergic to cats respond to are contained in the cat’s saliva. Residue from that saliva steadily builds up in the fur and is shed out into the world, thus stimulating those allergies. The same can be true of dust and other particles, so an occasional kitten bath is not a bad idea.

Persian kittens are sweet, beautiful animals that are rapidly growing in popularity as pets.

They make wonderful companions and, for the most part, are very easy to care for. There are, however, certain things that you need to keep in mind when you adopt a Persian kitten.

Feeding kittens can be an intimidating process for the uninitiated. Most of the time, the mother cat does all the work, leaving us little of our own to do but watch. Newborn kittens are so tiny and their bodies are so frail, and they are so new to the world that they only have the most basic instincts to guide them. It may be a frightening prospect at first, but bottle feeding kittens is actually not much different from feeding a newborn human. Once you show them where the food is, they will usually do the rest. Just show them proper care and follow a few basic tips, and you will be just fine.
