kitten care

A BENGAL KITTEN/ CAT REQUIRES THE SAME CARE AS OTHER BREEDS OF CATS.

Owning a cat or any other pet is not just a privilege-it's a responsibility. Pets depend on us for, at minimum, food and shelter, and deserve much more. If you are considering taking a cat into your life, you need to think seriously about the commitment that cat ownership entails.

Before you bring home your new kitten be sure to that you understand the obligation you are taking upon yourself. The first consideration when you are deciding to buy a Bengal (or any other pet) are you willing and able to provide an excellent home for your new pet for the next ten to 15 years. Pets are lifelong companions.

Cost of a Bengal.

There is no such thing as a free pet. Not even a kitten that is found on your doorstep, there is costs associated with the care of the pet. The Bengal that you choose to share you home and life with will be your companion for a very long time. The initial cost of a Bengal cat reflects the magnitude of your desire to have a particular Bengal Cat. The financial obligation with the day by day ownership of a Bengal is no greater then any other pet. The cost of a Bengal cat is offset by hundreds of joyful hours that a Bengal cat will bring to your life every day.

What will you need for your new Bengal kitten?

1. Cat Furniture: Bengal's love heights, so if you buy a cat condominium get the tallest one you can and still fit in your home.

2. A litter box: , any one will work but the sides should be at least 4 or 6 inches high.

3. Litter material for the litter box: . We uses the World's Best Cat Litter because it is all-natural litter.

4. A scratching post: all cats extend their claws and scratch. A scratching post will satisfy this need.

5. Grooming tools: a brush and a comb made for cats, nail trimmers.

6. A food and water dishes I uses only stainless steel ones, plastic ones may cause problems

7 Food we uses a mixture of 3 foods 1. Innova Evo 2. BLUE Wilderness. 3.Royal Canin

8. A cat carrier to take your new kitten home in and any time you take them out of the house. and a bed for the carrie.

9. Toys and more toys. you can never have to many cat toys. Just ask any cat.

Last but not least: A LOT OF LOVE and you will get a lot more love in return

THINGS TO BE AWARE OF:

Do not give milk to kittens. They don't need it and milk is likely to give them diarrhea. Kittens are usually happiest when they have dry food continually available. Don't forget fresh water daily.

Kittens love to play. Provide harmless outlets for all that energy by supplying toys that are safe. Select toys too large to be swallowed but small enough to bat around. A ping pong ball, crumpled wax paper or a toilet paper tube are all excellent choices.

Don't let your kitten play with string or thread, and be careful not to leave threaded needles where cats can reach them. Any long string-like object, especially if there is a needle attached, can become trapped in the intestine and will eventually cut completely through the intestinal wall.
