We recommend climbing toys, homemade scratching posts made of logs or carpeting nailed to plywood, and sturdy toys like ping-pong balls and empty spools. Beware of inexpensive breakable items. We recommend canned food and some dry food. Semi-moist food is high in salt and preservatives and should only be given as a treat. Bones and raw fish are not recommended.
Many cats learn to love being groomed.
Cats don't like baths unless they are sick or unable to care for themselves. It might be cute at first, but in the adult cat it is a problem. Use nail clippers to trim off the sharp points, being careful not to cut into the darker quick. For plants that cannot be hung up high, wrap the base in tinfoil or stick toothpicks into the dirt to keep your cat from digging. Go to a vet to make sure that your cat does not have a health problem such as a bladder infection or worms.
