Caring for a cat is not always easy. After all, the cat can't talk to you and let you know what you're doing wrong, and cats are so independent that sometimes you don't think they need you at all. This article has some smart suggestions to help you care for your cat in a way that they can appreciate.

Develop a warm bed for a patio or feral cat by lining a banana box with a thick layer of newspaper. Cut a bit of Mylar to fit underneath of the box. Put another layer of newspaper on top. Put in a warm blanket. Place the complete box inside a dog house or under a porch where it can't get wet.

Save your furniture with scratching posts and pads. It is natural for cats to want to stretch their claws out and scratch. This does not imply that a cat owner will need to have damaged furniture. Provide your cat with places that it is okay to scratch and redirect them there should they take to out your sofa. Cat scratching posts come in many shapes and materials and some cats prefer a particular type so it might take some trial and error before you find the proper combination for your kitty.

Keeping cats from a counter can really be tough. Cats instinctively want to be at a higher vantage point so they can survey their surroundings. Creating a place high-up for the cat can solve this issue. One method to keep your cats from continuously jumping on the counter would be to install a cat tower close to the problem counter.

Keep your cat indoors. Unlike dogs, it is nearly impossible to confine a cat to a yard. This may lead to many dangers for your cat, from cars, dogs, diseases from feral cats, and disappearing to parts unknown. Loose cats also be considered a nuisance to others, often killing songbirds and leaving unwelcome "deposits" in neighbor's gardens. If your cat really enjoys the outside, they may be trained to wear a harness and leash or you can choose specialty cat fence or screened-in porch.

Get a scratching post to keep your cat from tearing up your carpet. When you can, get a post that will not have the same type of carpet that is on the floor of your home, which means that your cat doesn't associate the two. Instead, get a post that is covered in cardboard, sisal, or thick rope.

Refrain from giving your cat any food that is spoiled. This can lead to indigestion and food poisoning, which can cost you a vacation to the veterinarian. Always buy your food fresh from the store and become sure to check on the expiration date before you feed it to your cat.

Cats tend to be nocturnal creatures. This means that they will usually be quite active at night. If you find that your nocturnal kitties are waking you up in the middle of the night, the solution may be as simple as closing the entranceway to your bedroom. In this manner, they can't disturb you while you sleep.

Try determining why the cat is purring. After some time, you'll understand why your cat purs or meows based on what she wants. It may be she's hungry or must go outside. By listening to your cat, it will be easier to know what they want.

A cat's nails can grow really quickly. They sharpen their nails by scratching on different surfaces just like a scratching post. It is possible to help avoid your cat destroying your furniture by clipping their nails often. This can help discourage your cat from scratching at various things around your house.

Your cat may never give you thanks, but if you use the tips laid out here, you will know she is well cared for. Just try each tip and watch for your cat's reaction. You will know whether it is doing work for your cat by her reaction. Though it isn't easy, you will be an excellent owner to a happy cat.
