The feeding, grooming and health care needs of the average cat are straightforward and rewarding for owners. Many people are fascinated by cats' grooming habits. When cats groom, they try to reach every part of their fur with their tongue. Grooming keeps your cat's coat clean and soft, but it also performs other vital functions for your feline. Kittens generally do not need to be groomed by their owners, although it is helpful to assist your cat in caring for its coat, especially if you have a long-haired cat.
All kittens can benefit from frequent brushing and the social interaction as well.
The dietary requirements of a kitten are unique, and you should have a basic understanding of how to properly feed your kitten. Most kittens thrive on good quality, commercial cat foods. Many experts recommend feeding cats a variety of canned and dry food to avoid food addiction. Kittens that are fed a single ingredient like liver and fish are often prone to health problems. Since kittens are generally very good about keeping themselves clean, they do not often require bathing.
