Just like us, cats have needs and their needs must be provide especially if you have them as pets. Their needs are just normal when it comes to the basic and as well as material. What matters most is the affection and care you share for these animals. When they feel that you are sincerely taking care of them, they would really feel it.

What do cats need?

The following are the things cats needs for better growth and development:

•   Cat food

-   Cats could be very greedy but you have to watch their diet. There is this right amount of food. When cats are younger than 12 weeks, they need to have 4 small meals but when they grow as old as more than 12 weeks; you could gradually trim down the number of meals to 2. Water must also be provided but milk is not encouraged for it would only cause diarrhea to cats. Feeding them with grass from time to time could also help out in their digestion of food.

•   Cat belongings

-   There are items you need to provide to your cat that would surely make it feel the comfort and in effect these things are sure help for you to have a clean and orderly home. One of the most important things you have to provide is the litter container. Well, cats may be clean animals but just to make sure, you place a litter container for your pet to use. This would let you overcome having a smelly home.

-   A post to scratch is another thing that must be provided by the pet owner. This would let the home furniture stay away from the scratches of cats when they are growing their nails.

•   Cat grooming

-   They also need to look good. Proper grooming must be given to cats. When they feel pampered, they would radiate it and echo it to you. When your cat is long-haired, see to it that you comb the hair daily and give your pet a generous bath from time to time. When your pet is short-haired, just see to it that you get rid of fleas and other parasites. They have to remove as much as possible for they may also go and stay in your belongings at home like carpets and others. Tooth brushing is also very hygienic.

These three important points must really be remembered for they would definitely make your cat pets live the best life with your care and your affection that they may also return the kindness back.

Nice sharing.
You should go for one cat or kitten for now.
cats are a responsibility so if your cat does something
wrong don't get mad at it.

Thank you for your input.

Homemade cat food has the advantage of giving you the peace of mind that you know exactly what you are feeding your cat. Though, in most cases you can almost certainly trust the medically and scientifically designed formulas of the major cat-food manufacturers.

drypet, homemade is good, but how many of us have time for such? the best we can is identifying and  having the right cat-food manufacturers do the hard work for us.

Your point of view is right that when they feel that you are sincerely taking care of them, they would really feel it. Great information you have shared what things cats needs for better growth and development. It's really a great topic for discussion.

You are quite right Christian, i also think that animals have same feelings of being attracted to who car for them and cats are same, i have noticed many times my grandma's cat love her too much whenever i try to play with her she doesn't because she like to sit on grandma's lap and when grandma tell to her for play with me she runs quickly, how respectful she is..
