Consult a vet if meals go uneaten for 24 hours. Most cats love their carbohydrates. To add variety to your cat's menu, mix a little cooked pasta, rice, or potato into his regular canned food. Canned herring, mackerel, or sardines make a nice, nutritous treat for your cat but should be reserved for special occasions. Minced meat and chicken giblets are two other traditional cat holiday treats.
Animal behaviorists agree that a water spray bottle is a safe, effective means of disciplining cats.
A little talcum powder sprinkled on your cat's coat helps to remove dirt and grease when you're combing and brushing his fur. To remove a tangle, sprinkle a little more powder on the trouble spot and then gently tease out the knot with your fingers. Trimming your cat's nails is easier than you might think. Cup his paw in your hand and apply light pressure to expose the claws. Then, with sharp clippers held in your other hand, cut of the hard white tip off each nail.
