May I Taste My First Champagne, Yes?

Have you ever thought about the broad appeal of kitten pictures. I mean, come on, they are the cutest little creatures on the planet. Who loves them? The young, the old and everyone in between. Is the general love for pictures of these little felines because they are in themselves so cute, or is it because they remind you of that special little kitten you brought home for the first time? I don't know if we can know the actual reason because it seems that those who love to look at kitten pictures, are generally those who have owned one or two (or more!) in the lifetimes.

Somebody Close the Door, I Feel a Draft!

In short, the answer is 'no', unless your kitten has gotten into something it shouldn't lick off of its fur – like a chemical. Cats, in general, do a fantastic job at grooming themselves.

If you must bathe your kitten, then make sure that you keep the environment warm – that is 90+ degrees (F), else, you run the risk of making your kitten sick. Kitten's don't have the ability to fully regulate their internal body temperatures.

Make sure that the bathing area is totally free from drafts. So, beware of the kitchen sink that is below a window, as an example.  Read more... (161 words, 1 image, estimated 39 secs reading time)

I'm so Happy, I can't stand it!

Talk about a red-hot topic. Is pet health insurance necessary? Is it very helpful? Firstly, one of the things you need to know (especially if you are a first time pet owner), is when it comes to the costs of veterinary services, they can be very expensive. But, don't run out and buy that policy just yet…

Your first step is to shop around. Do some research on the internet – visit various veterinary clinics and collect the various brochures that they have on display. You are going to need to commit to sitting down for a couple of hours to study this issue and take some notes which allows you to compare the benefits of each prospective plan. Also pay attention to those items that a company is NOT covering – things like chronic conditions (allergies, asthma, diabetes, etc.).  Read more...

Hey, who's the small fry?

There is a definite transition time period when bringing your new little furball home for the first time.  It is important to realize that a kitten, like a young child is curious and wants nothing more than to test the boundries of its existence (climbing up the drapes, up your leg, etc.).  It's all about expectation alignment, ultimately – know that this is the way it is.  The way that you can save your sanity during this 'young' time is to adequately prepare.  How?  By creating a Kitten Safe Zone – a space, an area where kitty can roam and explore without seriously damaging itself and your stuff.  Read more...

1. Kittens are not unlike growing babies.  They begin their little lives so small and pretty soon, they are lying in your arms, as cute as can be – at total peace with the world.  And, before you know it, they enter that kitty-toddler phase – running up and down your favorite drapery and crawling like moles under your throw rugs!
   

   I'm trying to get a little rest here!

2. Kittens can be fussy eaters.  Even the tiniest kitten can/will spit out anything it doesn't think is the best available.  And by the way, 'best' is subjectively defined by each kitten – less to do with brands or expensive cost and more to do with what each kitten likes or dislikes – which takes a little experimentation to learn.
