Like people, cats require balanced diets with good nutrition. If your cat’s diet isn’t up to par, they may become overweight or malnourished. Read on for more tips on caring for your cat.

You should always bring your cat to a vet to make sure everything is okay. Your cat should receive shots regularly to prevent health issues. It is best to always take your cat to the same veterinarian. This way they will know your cat’s history the best.

Spritz a little bitter apple on electrical cords to protect your cats. Cat can sometimes chew on cords, and they should be covered to prevent this. Hide those loose cords and keep them out of sight in no longer needed paper towel rolls. Electronic items with tasty-looking, thin cords (video game controllers, phone chargers, and so on) should be stored securely when you’re not using them.

You can also consider outfitting your cat with a chip so you can monitor its whereabouts. Even cats who live completely indoors may someday decide to bolt out the door or escape out of a window. Collars or tags can identify your cat, but cats can wiggle out of those, and they are also at risk of getting hung up on something. Microchips are minuscule, but can hold all the essential information about your cat and its hope. Nearly all veterinarians and shelters now have scanners capable of reading the information on these chips, and since they are under the skin, there is no chance of the chip getting lost.

Most cats tend towards nocturnal behavior. It is likely that they will want to play while you are sleeping. Close your bedroom door if your cat is driving you nuts at night. This will ensure you sleep much better, without cats jumping into bed with you.

Always provide your feline with special attention and affection. They want warm companionship since that’s what they provide to you. Cats need a social life with people just like you do with other people. They want nothing more than to be an integral part of your family.

Male cats sometimes have crystals in their urine, but this can be prevented with the right cat food. It is painful for your cat to pass these crystals and the cost to have this treated by a vet is high. Your cat’s food should be low in magnesium. Read the label. Fish is often high in magnesium compared to chicken.

As you’d expect, your cat’s health is very dependent on its diet. Eating too much bad food, or not getting enough nutrients is a sure way to cut their life short. Be sure to treat your cat well by giving it the right foods.
