 TIP OF THE WEEK

If you have children and want to adopt a cat from your local animal shelter, you must teach them how to handle and care for it. Provide basic information for your children about cats so they can better understand their new pet.

Basic Facts

Also known as Felis Catus, its scientific name, the cat was first domesticated between 4,000 and 8,000 years ago, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Cats usually range between six and 15 pounds when fully grown, and they can live 15 years or more. As carnivores, they must eat a diet consisting mainly of meat, and you should feed them either canned or dry cat food twice daily. Some cats like an occasional treat of cantaloupe or broccoli. While most cats dislike getting water on their fur, they do need to drink it. Provide your cat with fresh water at all times to keep it well hydrated.
