How to Integrate Cats

Integrating  new cats can be a challenge for your family. 

Cats are territorial, and don’t take well to unknown cats suddenly appearing in their territory and area. The inclination of most cats is to attack a new cat to try to make it go away, or to run away from it in fear. Some of them act badly.

Grooming your cat

Grooming your cat not only stimulates the circulation and improves muscle tone, but also minimizes hairballs in his body specially near stomach by removing loose hairs. It smooths down the fur to insulate the body more efficiently, and stimulates the glands at the base of the hairs which waterproof the coat of your healthy cat. In hot weather, licking spreads saliva that cools your cat as it evaporates; grooming also spreads sebum natural oil that protects and waterproofs the hair and skin) across the coat.

Trimming a Cat's Claws

1. Stay on the cutting edge

There are plenty of tools available to trim a little cat's and normal cat’s  claws; use the one that works best for you and your healthy cat.

Some people prefer a special pair of scissors modified to hold a cat's claw in place, others prefer human nail clippers and tools, and still others choose pliers-like clippers or those with a sliding "guillotine" blade. Whatever your tool of choice, be sure the blade remains sharp; the blunt pressure from dull blades may hurt an animal and cause a nail to split or bleed. Keep something to stop bleeding, such as styptic powder, cornstarch, or a dry bar of soap near you.
