1. Feed your cat Give your cat good food. When raising a cat it is important to provide it with nutritious food which can help the cat the grow well. Canned and dry food are both fine. While dry food is better at keeping cats’ teeth clean. If you are unsure of what to feed your cat, discuss food with your cat’s vet. 2. Good place Once you bring a cat home and name it, you should get it some identification. This can be in the form of a tag on its collar. Even if you plan on raising the cat to live indoors, having identification is important -- remember, if it gets out, it will have no experience finding its way home. ●Your cat’s collar tag should include its name and your phone number. Keep this phone number up to date, so that someone who finds your cat can contact you easily. ●Be sure to secure the tags to a collar with a quick-release buckle. That way, if your cat gets caught on something, the collar can break off without harming the cat. Provide and teach the use of a litter box. When raising a cat, you will need to teach it to use a litter box. Once you bring a cat home, keep it contained in a small space with food, water, a bed, and its litter box. The cat may head towards the litter box to go to the bathroom, as they are naturally clean animals that like to pick specific bathroom areas. Give your cat a cozy place to sleep. When raising a cat, you should make sure to give it a cozy place all its own, where it can take a nap or just get some alone time. Typically, this is done by giving it a bed all its own and placing that bed in a quiet and warm corner.
