You have purchased a kitten. The baby is about to come into your home. What do you need to have in order to provide him (her) a comfortable adaptation and happy living at your place?


Before the arrival of the kitten you need to have:


A carrier- This is a must-have if there are pets in the house. You mustn't take the pet in a box, a bag or in your hands, neither in the street, nor in automobiles, nor in any other environment where it (the pet) is under stress. It will come in handy throughout the whole life of your pet - and that's neither much nor little about 20 years.
(What are the carriers tell you below.)

a scratching post... It's also a must-have for your cat. You can not do without it. It is physiologically necessary thing. (Otherwise, the tail will choose and DO the scratching post. You will not ask. It can be a sofa and a chair and a wallpaper wall). Wall-mounted long post-coopers are good for Boers, you can choose islands, and the material is cotton. If it's a complex, choose poles more than one meter high - mature burmese cat will stretch just under one meter. And in general burmese cat like to take off on the height of one way and run down - the other...the so-called "running trail", take it into account.
(What are the claws and complexes will tell below.)

Bowls, cups, drinkers ... This is the easiest. You'll pick up on the fact of existence of a kitten. Smaller - smaller. The big one - bigger, Nerja - non-pouring, Piggy - with litter.
Sleeping place... Burmese cat is a heat-loving, freezing cat. Usually our cats sleep with us children, very often under the blanket. In our absence, on the bed. If there is a need for a separate sleeping place, I would recommend warm, "mittens" or "slippers" type cots with insulation on the bottom. The kind that you can climb inside and be warm and cozy.
Our favorite place is the owners' thrown clothes)))

Food... Our cattery raises kittens on specimen food, it's also called natural, or naturals (a separate article MUST see! There's both the pyramid and the percentages and the composition). Dry food, dry
is only used for kittens and for the kittens to know that it is also food. After all, we raise kittens for other people. And only the owner chooses how to feed their pet... Therefore, the two types of food: natural food and dry food are mastered by kittens equally. Adult cattery cats eat naturals.

We recommend feeding a young animal vidotypically.
This is immediately visible in the development of the animal and the condition of the coat. At least until 8-10 months, while the rapid development and growth of the body. Dry food is available for kittens EVERYWHERE. Kittens are not restricted in their nutrition. Give as much as the kitten wants to eat, and since the meat is given twice a day, you need to snack during the day and night. There is ALWAYS fresh water next to the dry food (drinker, bowl, jar, fountain - your choice, but fresh - we change it once a day) Materials on vidotypical food are written separately, but since you are expecting a pet, you should prepare in advance (to purchase, mix, chop portions and freeze)
What dry food is used in our kennel :


1) Dry food for kittens Royal Canin

( Second Age KITTEN)


2) Dry food for pregnant and lactating cats and kittens Royal Canin
(First Age Mother & Babycat)

3) Royal Canin dry food for pregnant and lactating cats
(Royal Canin Queen )

4) Brooksfield Kitten food for kittens, chicken and rice

Any one to choose from.
IMPORTANT: If you are in the mood to feed your kitten differently (wet food, spiders, canned cat food) do not do so drastically. For each type of food the body produces a different acidity of the stomach. And the body needs time to readjust. Otherwise you run the risk of ruining the gastrointestinal tract. Get diarrhea, vomiting and many other bad consequences.
First you need to give a spoonful (a teaspoon) to try. See how the stomach takes it. If all is calm, then you can feed in portions - half dose new food, after some time familiar food (half), after a while again half dose of food (a little). And the last feeding habitual dry food. (4 feedings. The dose is slightly less than the usual.) If everything is normal, then gradually one feeding more new food. In the future, the dose to the usual. Proceed in the same way if you change the brand of food (in the food of different firms have different composition, different fat content)

ТOILETS The nursery uses two types of toilets - an enclosed house with bulk filler (wood granulated "Clean-Furry") and regular trays with a clean lattice. Under the lattice we pour the most budget wood (pallets) filler. From experience, kittens do better in the litter box. They like to dig. Especially the boys. You need to choose a harmless filler that you can easily buy in your area. Not all fillers are suitable. Some litter (spread on the paws). Some stick to everything wet ((((( So that much room for creativity you provided)))) Included with a dowry we give a small children's toilet. So you can buy a permanent one in the presence of a kitten. The most important thing is for the child to understand where his toilet is. When there are a lot of new smells around, it is easy to get confused and may "lose sight". To do this, you must follow the rules of the kitten's arrangement in the house (see another article)
The first couple of days keep an eye on the baby - whether he goes there (the delay can be a day... (sometimes, when there is a lot of stress, and more than a day). The toilet is placed in a corner, behind the furniture. In a little "hidden" place. Kittens do not like to go to the toilet in front of everyone.
GENERAL INSPECTION OF THE PREMISES When the kitten is about to walk in the door, you need to inspect the room for harmful, dangerous things and EVERYTHING you feel sorry for. A kitten is a kitten baby, it has very little understanding of its own, only what its mother cat and breeder taught it.

Breakable objects (vases, figurines, interior items) are better to put away temporarily. As long as the barman doesn't go all over the house, he won't calm down. And why give more reason to be angry and worried!

Wires (chargers, headphones, mice, etc. wires and wires) we accustom kittens ignore the wire, but the process is poorly controlled, and often in a litter there are lovers of low voltage ... well, they like it ((( one such lives in our house) should remember the main - for wire kitty takes. when he is bored .... And they are so delicious hanging (lying)!!!


So - provide the child with toys, put the wires out of reach (cover the computer with a cloth for the time of absence), unplug the chargers from the socket.
There is a way to make wires not taste good: Men's deodorant stick - dab it on thickly. It's best to choose a cheaper sample. With that strong "sea" or "citrus" smell. It helps .
And educate...spray it...with newspaper...(the newspaper slams it BETWEEN the cat...not on the cat!!!)
Flowers...adult burmese don't eat flowers as a rule, if there is enough of everything in the diet. In general, eating plants is an individual matter, and it is usually kittens who do it. We must remember that plants, so beautiful for us, may be poisonous to them (cats). So do not be lazy, check the list of poisonous plants, if you do not have such a specimen living in your home.

Thread, Christmas tree, fishing line, etc. Cats have such a structure of tongue (their tongues are covered with specific "hooks"), that small rough objects (threads, ribbons, rain, pieces of cellophane) fixing to these "hooks" on the cat's tongue may move inside only... i.e. speaking in common language the cat cannot spit out poop... it can only swallow it... How does it end? Surgery with abdominal surgery, and God willing, it would have been done in time. Please keep the apartment clean!!! Babies are curious, they pull everything in their mouths like little kids...remember - the kitten is your baby!!!
Shoes on it we bring home everything the street has shared with us - viral diseases, contagious and not so contagious, shingles, other fungi, and many more wonderful things...Kittens are vaccinated with a live vaccine, they have basic immunity. But let's not put it to the test. And then - there are no vaccines for many contagious things. So - try to isolate the baby from the street vestibule and street shoes.

Windows (as well as openings next to pipes, the opening under the bathroom, etc.)
