When it comes to how to look after a kitten, attending to their needs early on will not only bond you for life but it’ll also make sure your kitten is both happy and healthy.
Cats are pretty good at keeping themselves clean, but there are a few things you’ll need to do to keep them in tip-top shape.
Regular grooming is a great way to get your kitten comfortable with being picked up and handled. While doing this, you can check their eyes, ears, nose, and other body parts.
A decent cat brush will allow you to remove excess hair and dirt from your kitten while keeping them clean. For long-haired cats, daily grooming can prevent painful tangles and mats.
It’ll also help prevent those awful hairballs, plus they’ll also be super soft afterward. Bathing them as a kitten will help them get used to it and prevent you from any loss of eyeballs when they’re fully grown.
Some cat owners prefer to trim their kitty’s nails. Clipping the sharp points off of your kitties claws protects your furniture and makes playtime significantly less painful.
