It means that when you get your kitten as a present you have to realise that this cute little kitten is going to grow up to be a big cat. Just imagine how confused he would feel. These are a lot of years you have to love and look after this feline friend of yours and for most of that time he will be an adult cat, not the little kitten that was given to you. He will rely on you for love, food, protection, comfort, warmth and above everything else, he will rely on you for friendship. We want everyone who owns a cat to become a responsible pet owner.
Some people let their cats outside all the time.
There are new laws around now that ask us to keep our cats inside the house or in a cattery. This is because of all of our lovely, native animals we have here in Australia. Cats are natural hunters, they cannot help it and should not be hated or blamed for it, however, it is our responsibility that we don't give them a chance to exercise this natural instinct. At the very least, you should put a bell on your cat's collar so that if he does hunt birds or native animals they will hear him because of the ringing of the bell. If you decide to keep your cat inside, you will find he is easily taught to use a litter tray, and in most cases his mother has already taught him to use it.
