The Amazing Cat
We all know that cats are loving and truly wonderful
creatures. These days, it isn’t out of
the ordinary to see a cat in virtually every other home, sleeping in the window
or cuddling up on the laps of their owners.
Although cats have been popular pets for as long as most can remember,
they weren’t domesticated less than 5,000 years or so ago. Domestication took place in the valley of the
Nile, which is what research tells us today.
In the beginning, people were very grateful to cats and
encouraged them to stay with them by feeding them various scraps of food. Once they were fed and perceived humans to be
no threat, the cats would move in permanently with their human owners. As time went by, even the wildest of cat
would allows humans to approach him, often times even hold and touch as well.
In those days, cats were very loyal and endearing pets. They proved to be great hunters, as they done
their sleeping in short periods and were much easier to wake up than dogs. Cats also have better night vision than dogs,
and much better hearing as well. If
someone moved through the house or if they heard suspicious noises, they would
wake while dogs would sleep right through it.
Humans loved having cats around, and they seemed to get along good with
dogs as well.
These days, cats are used for both companionship and
show. They aren’t used much at all for
hunting mice and rodent anymore at all.
There are a lot of breeds available, from the traditional alley cat to
the well known Siamese. All breeds are
unique in their own way, and will provide you with years of companionship if
you take care of them.
Before you get a kitten or older cat, you’ll first want to
examine the source. If you are getting
the kitten from a breeder, you’ll want to make sure that the breeder has a
reputable reputation. You’ll also want
to ensure that the cattery is clean and in good shape. The kittens that are still there shouldn’t be
overcrowded, and their surroundings should be clean. The litter boxes there should be kept up and
both the food and water dish should be clean and full. The kittens shouldn’t be caged, instead free
to run around. All cats that are there
should appear healthy, with shiny coats and none of their ribs showing.
When you get your kitten, it should be used to being touched
and handled. The kitten should be sweet,
not afraid in the least. Kittens that
have been handled young normally have a better temperament. The better breeders won’t allow their kittens
to leave the nest until they are around 12 weeks old, with some waiting until
the kittens are 16 weeks. By doing this,
breeders ensure that the kitten is in good health and his immune system has
properly developed.
There’s no mistaken the fact that cats are great to
own. You can get a kitten from a
reputable breeder, through a local newspaper, or an adoption agency. Cats can also be obtained from a local pound,
although people normally don’t like to choose this option. No matter which way you decide to pursue, you
should always make sure that your cat is healthy. If you get a healthy cat, you won’t have a
lot of problems later on down the road.
Healthy cats were taken care of – and normally have everything up to date
– including their vaccinations.
