Tips for Keeping your Cat or Kitten Safe
Cat owners get so pumped over their beloved feline pets, yet just like people they do not have an inkling about the wider world at large. They essentially run on pure energy and get all wired up with excitement, and then simply run without much forethought except to play and have a lot of fun. So if you are a new owner to 1 or more kitties, it will be up to you, to be your kittie’s guardian, to make sure you not only feed him or her the proper cat food, but to also make sure they do not end up getting hurt. Here are a few tips on how to keep your kitty safe:
1. Keep your kittens in a kennel or an open-topped box filled with newspaper or a towel, to keep them out of trouble when you cannot keep an eye on them. If you’ve adopted two kittens, they will probably be fine with that, since they have company. If your kitten is by himself, and is meowing a lot, you may want to put in a small stuffed animal, or wrap up a ticking clock in a soft towel and put it in the box to soothe him.
2. Purchase cat food that is especially for kittens as you want to make sure that they are not only getting the proper nutrition but that the morsels are the right size and that they won’t hurt your kitten’s new teeth. Depending on how old your kittens are, you may be restricted to a certain type of cat food. Check with your veterinarian. I personally sugget a leading premium cat food like Life’s Abundance, particularly in this era of pet food recalls. All in all, a premium grade food can really make a big difference over time.

They can knock over items, climb up to high places, and because they lack coordination
and some visual acuity at a young age, they are apt to fall and get hurt. Also, keep your kitten away from small children, as a young child could possibly fall and seriously injure, if not kill, your kitten accidentally. Unfortunately, I know of a few cases where this HAS happened. So please take care of your cute little kittens.
Having kittens can be a lot of fun, but they are a lot of responsibility. Be sure to have you kitten checked and vaccinated regularly, and to give him the best cat food to meet his daily nutritional needs!
