Female cats can start mating around 6 months old, but male cats can start around 8 months of age. Pregnancy usually can last for around 58 to 65 days (9 weeks approximately). If you are not looking to raise a litter of kittens or turn your male kitty into a roaming tom is it advisable to neuter her and him around 5 months. 

Cats associate the clicker with a good behavior they will use for a long time. Clicker training is associated with classical condition (they associate the sound with food.) and operant conditioning (cat performs movement to receive food). Why use a clicker and not tell a cat or make a sound to get your cat to do a trick? 

There are many cat breeds out there. If you are like most people, you don t know much about them. In order to help you to make a choice about breeds, here is some useful information. Do you want a cat that can entertain himself and not get into mischief? Then don t consider the Sphynx, the Rex, the British Angora and the Siamese. 

For the eyes and ears which are the most sensitive areas in your cat s body, there are solutions that you may use. Choose one which is specifically designed to prevent cats with light-colored eyes to develop stains. For the ears, cats collect a considerable amount or wax so you have to take care of it when grooming. 

They don t require as many vet visits for routine shots either like dogs do which can become quite expensive. For those that have problems with mice, cats make a great natural system for taking care of them. This means you won t have to deal with messy traps or dangerous poisons around your home. Many cat owners claim they haven t come across a mouse in their home for years with this line of defense. 

Put them in the dishwasher if possible after throwing out the old food and dropping the dish in the dishwasher. Don t leave the food sitting out as it can spoil. And, make sure to clean your cat s water bowl daily as well. Keep it full of clean fresh water. When you do these things, you will provide your cat with a place to get their food that is clean, safe and keeps them happy.
