Christmas presents for your cat!

It's about that time of year to start Christmas shopping for all of your loved ones. But are you leaving your pet out? I'm sure they would enjoy a few gifts too, they don't want to feel forgotten! There are a few cute things you can give your cat as a gift. If your family uses stockings as a tradition, why not get your cat his own little stocking? Several stores sell animal stockings, or you can even buy a plain one and decorate it. Then you can fill it with their favorite cat treats, some new toys to play with, pretty much anything you think your feline friend would enjoy. Another great gift idea would be a new little scratcher! We all know how kitties love to scratch up our furniture. If you buy them one of these it'll keep them from doing that and they will also love it. Already have a good scratcher? Maybe you can buy them a new bed, or a new food bowl, or even a new friend. One can never have too many cats. ;) The ideas are endless, and the best thing about it is that your cat will most likely like anything you get them.

How to care for your kitty

Sometimes your cat may get you a little aggravated. He might scratch up your furniture, or try to run outside when you open the door, or even get a little too playful and sneak attack you. Don't worry, this is all normal in owning a pet. It's not always going to be perfect. But with a little discipline, the furniture will be scratched no more. When your cat reaches the point where he knows your home is his home too, you can freely let him outside whenever you please and he will always return. And those sneak attacks... Well, you have to admit they're pretty cute.
It is a pretty simple task to take care of your little feline friend and make them feel comfortable when they move into your home. There are a few necessary materials you'll need for your cat: a litter box, cat food, food and drink bowls, and a good amount of toys to keep him entertained! After you have these, all you need to do is clean out the litter box every once in a while and refill the food bowls. Simple!
Unfortunately, caring for your cat doesn't require you to just buy a few materials and leave your cat alone forever. You also need to give your kitty some attention! Play with him, pet him, let him cuddle with you at night. Owning a pet is a much better experience when your pet is like a best friend. It is better for you and for the animal.
