The More the Merrier
The More the Merrier. Tips for Multi Cat Homes:
- Know your limits. There are so many good
cats in need out there. Make sure you can afford good food and vet care for
everyone.
- Kitties need love too. Things will stay
on a more even keel if you have time for some one on one with each and every
cat in the house every day.
- For domestic harmony, all the cats should
be spayed and neutered
- Have more than one litter box. Note: the
Webmaster uses pine shavings because its odor absorbing and most importantly
all the kitties will use it. In this neck of the woods a bale of it only
costs $4 at the feed store and lasts at least two or three weeks.
- Cat towers and window perches give
everyone more space
- Rather than one big dish, have small
dishes for everyone. Even if they all eat the same food, feed them in at
least a couple of separate areas. Wash dishes daily
- Before introducing a new cat, make sure
that he/she has been tested for Feline Leukemia.
- The money spent on cat toys is never
wasted as its "just more fun with your friends"
Helpful Hint: Adopting a homeless pet from
rescue is a very good buy. Vaccinations/tests/spay/neuter are all done which
makes the adoption fee a real bargain.
Every adoption really saves two
lives because the rescue then has the resources to save another pet in need.
