Buying A Cat - How To Learn About A Kitty's History

When buying a cat you know that the environment they were raised in will determine a lot about the kind of pet they will be. But how do you find out about a kitten or adult cat's "History"?

Sadly it's not as easy as sitting them down and asking... "Tell me about your kittenhood?" As talkative as some cats that's not likely to get you very far.

No, learn about a cats past you need to be a bit of a detective. Observe the clues along the way so you'll know you've found a cat you can live happily with for the rest of it's life.

Buying A Cat - How To Learn About A Kitty's History

When you are thinking of bringing a kitten into your life it's learning about their history is relatively easy. All you have to do is ask the owner about their mother and how they've been raised until now.

If you are buying a pedigreed cat from a breeder learning your cat or kittens history is a snap. They will be more than happy to tell you all about both parents. Show you the diet they have been on. Tell you all about the kinds of things being done to socialize the cats. Including the kinds of animals they've been exposed to and the different places they've been.

Note... Cat Fanciers (as cat breeders are called) take socialization to the extreme because when they show cats they need to be used to strangers handling them, plane and car rides as well as being brushed and bathed regularly. When was the last time you bathed your cat? LOL

Cat breeders are also likely to provide cat furniture like cat trees and kitty playgrounds for their kittens to romp on. This is a bonus because these kittens will understand the difference between what's OK to scratch on and what's not. Be sure to ask what kind of play area is provided for the kittens or cats you are considering.

In fact, if you don't ask questions about these things when buying a cat from a reputable breeder may refuse to sell a cat or kitten to you. They are so invested in their animals they will only let them go to homes who care about them as much as they do themselves.

Now, that's not to say that your neighbor or co-worker who has a litter of kittens to place loves them any less or socializes them any less. Heck, a house full of kids running around playing, barking dogs, sniffing bunnies, banging pots and pans, blaring TV's makes for great social skills in a cat too!

For Ragdoll Cat Lovers - Ragdoll Cat Personality

The ragdoll cat personality is often what attracts cat owners to the breed. On the outside the ragdoll is large, medium haired, beautifully coloured, blue eyed breed of cat. Inwardly, they exhibit strange personality traits that set them aside from many other breeds of cat. While there are many myths and generalizations surrounding the good nature of this exotic breed, more often than not the myths are founded in truths.

The ragdoll cat personality is one generalized as being a cautious mix of intelligence and a gentle, trusting nature. While many ragdoll cats can be attributed to these personality traits, there are many more who deviate from the norm. It would be too general to say that all ragdoll cats are intelligent, just as in any breed there is diversity, and there is obviously the force of nurture to take into consideration.

Kittens Cats

Certainly the standard ragdoll cat is a gentle, kindly creature, which would much rather spend time with you and those in your family, then go roaming out and about. Then again, ragdoll's are rarely given the opportunity to be roamers - they are frequently and rightly kept as indoor cats, being far too trusting and lacking the street smarts of other outdoor cat breeds.

For Ragdoll Cat Lovers - Ragdoll Cat Personality

They tend to be laid back and far too passive for the outside world, their lack of violent tendencies often mean they are unlikely to fight back, even if threatened, causing no end of scrapes and problems in the outside world.

The myths tell us the ragdoll was named as such due to their tendency to flop while being held in your arms, but they are not alone in this, many other cats if they trust you will go limp when you hold them. Perhaps then the ragdoll is simply more trusting and flops when they barely know you at all; this trusting nature is often seen as a very attractive quality in the ragdolls.

Ragdolls love people, they love other cats, they love other pets and stranger even, they appear to love water. A ragdoll will happily play in running water for hours, apparently fascinated by the wetness of it! They have even been known to attempt to join their owners in the bath or shower, setting them aside from most other cat breeds, traditionally known as water haters. For this reason, outside the ragdoll can easily end up drowning, they must be kept away from ponds, swimming pools and other large bodies of water, even if supervised.

Ragdoll cats will happily spend days curled up on you lap, purring, meowing to you, they are not known for their independence, unlike many other breeds, you will find the ragdoll to exhibit co-dependence, a good thing for some owners, a markedly annoying trait for others, but however you view being followed around all day, be prepared to step on a few tails several times a day, you might not even realize they are stood right behind you.

But despite all the hype regarding their 'laid back' nature, and the ability to adapt to living with almost any animal, remember, just like us, each cat is different, and will exhibit different traits, don't just assume that the ragdoll cats personality will be the 'typical' or standardized one, prepare for individual differences and you wont be disappointed.

How to Choose the Best Siamese Cat Names - And Save Your Cat From Eternal Embarrassment!

Don't make my mistake. Don't fall into this common cat naming trap. One of my lovely cats (not my Siamese cat) is called Stripy. Why? Because he was in a litter of five kittens - and he was the stripy one. Once a cat has a name, you will probably never change it, trust me.

Where to start?

Kittens Cats

Choosing Siamese cat names is easier than you think. What is the Siamese cat's unique feature? Yes, the heavenly blue eyes. So 'blue' inspired names are a great place to start.

How to Choose the Best Siamese Cat Names - And Save Your Cat From Eternal Embarrassment!

- Artists have given fabulous names to exquisite blue paints. Some you might like Indigo, Prussian and Maya.

- What's more romantic than beautiful old-fashioned wild flower names? Blue or white flowers might be best: Cornflower, Gentian or Bluebell might be purrrfect for your new Siamese.

- How about some precious crystal Siamese cat names? A famous blue diamond called Hope? Or Sapphire or Cinnabar?

- Blue cat names not for you? White-inspired cat names from the frozen north like Frost, Snowflake and perhaps Blizzard for the ultra active Siamese!

- Brown cat names? They might include, Coco (Chanel of course rather than the hot drink) I also know Siamese cats named Onyx and Chocolate.

- Grey names because you are newly-owned by a blue point Siamese? Frosting and Pussy Willow have a lovely ring to them.

- Some 'hot' names for your red or flame point Siamese to consider, Amber Honey and Rufus.

- How about a witchy name for your spiritual Siamese? Choose wisely here, you don't want your cat to live up to a 'bad' name do you?

- There have been lots of famous Siamese cats. How about Siamese cat names with Star appeal? Siam was owned by President Rutherford Hayes and lived at the best address in America; The White House. And Marcus was a present from one famous star to another.

Lucky you to have such a lovely problem - a new cat to name!

Feeding Kittens - When Are They Ready For Solid Food?

It can be confusing to know when newborn kittens are ready for each particular kind of kitten food, but there are a few basic guidelines that you can follow that make the process much easier. If the mother cat is available, she is already providing the best food available for them when they are first born. As they grow up, however, you will slowly transition them toward a healthy, wet kitten food that they can eat on their own. This is done in discrete steps that are easy to follow.

Step 1
Newborn kittens will look to their mother for all the nutrition they will need. As long as you see to her needs, you will need to worry very little about what the kittens are eating. All you will have to do is monitor them and make sure that they are nursing. If they are not doing this or the mother is deceased or unavailable, you will need to feed them every hour or two with a special liquid kitten food provided by your veterinarian.

Step 2
At about four weeks of age, your kittens will be ready to move on to the next phase. Mix quality canned kitten food thoroughly with liquid formula until it reaches the consistency of a thick milkshake. Place this in a bowl and lure the kittens to it either by placing a bit of it on your finger or on a small rubber nipple.

Step 3
When the kittens are six weeks old, start reducing the amount of formula in their food mix. They should be eating on their own from the bowl at this point and their teeth should be coming in nicely. Over the course of about two weeks, you will steadily reduce the amount of formula until they are eating entirely canned kitten food.

Step 4
You can start transitioning your kittens to dry kitten food when they are about eight weeks of age by mixing it with wet and steadily increasing the ratio of dry to wet. Dry food is not particularly healthy for cats, however. Cats are carnivorous creatures and dry food tends to contain a large amount of grains, which can lead to feline diabetes and other health problems.
