If you are an animal lover and want to adopt one, then cats and dogs are the usual ones. If you want a Healthy cat then you have to search for a healthy Kitten. Be it a male cat or a female cat equal knowledge about it is required before making the choice.


Tips for choosing a pet kitten

  • Kittens are to be adopted only when they are of seven to nine weeks old. Unlike dogs, kittens need more time to be with their mother. Kittens need to grow a bit old to adjust with the new atmosphere that they are sent to, so look for the age of the kitten before you adopt them

  • For easy cat grooming it is suggested that you choose kittens when they come from a familiar background. You must observe the traits and behavior of the parents before you select the kitten. Choosing a kitten from wild may later be very problematic to handle

  • A kitten growing up with its family is a problem as it never gets to learn the human way of living and getting adjusted to the situations. When a kitten is with its siblings for example it does play but at the same time it may also behave in way that is not accepted as per human behavior. With human contact and training it will learn slowly that certain behaviors are not accepted like scratching, tearing etc

  • Apart from this there are certain things that are seen in a healthy kitten that must be considered before one gets to bring them home

  • A kitten must be lively and playful. When it is with other kittens it must show sign of activeness and must be vey bubbly

  • Does not matter how much you try to improve cat's diet later, it will not improve unless it was healthy as a kitten. So look for healthy traits when you buy one

  • The fur of the kitten must be soft and shiny. When you pamper it or put your hand inside its fur, not much fur should come out

  • A cat's health is determined from the look of its eyes and mouth. It must not have any fluid discharge from the mouth, ear or nose.

  • The legs of the cat must be straight and not bent. Keep a watchful eye on it. A bend leg may be a sign of some disease or illness

  • The mouth must look healthy and see that the butts look clean, ruling out any sign of diarrhea

A cat care has to begin from early. If you know the traits of a cat as kitten you will be able to take care of it properly from an early stage and hence groom it well.
