Bringing Up A Kitten

Taking on a kitten is an expensive investment, you must ensure that not only are you prepared for the responsibility of a kitten but you can also afford healthcare and maybe insurance.

Initial vaccinations are now about £45, microchipping about £20 and neutering is around £28 for a male and £37 for a female, not forgetting the wormers and flea treatments.

You may want to consider a slightly older kitten or cat from a charity such as the RSPCA. They neuter and vaccinate their cats before they are ready for re-homing.

Taking Care Of Your Pregnant Cat

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if your cat had kittens? Just the thought of having so many kittens underfoot would be enough reason for true cat lovers to swoon.

If your cat is pregnant, here are a few important facts that you should know:

- The average length of pregnancy for cats is 63 to 65 days long. However, it may appear to be a shorter period, because your cat will probably have already been pregnant for 3 to 4 weeks before you first notice the changes to her physique.

Babies And Pets

Babies and pets require some preparation in order for the combination to work well.

A large number of pets are taken to the shelters when they’re family members find out that they are expecting a child. It is very sad for the pet and for the family to relinquish a favored family member because a new arrival is expected. In most cases it is not necessary to give your pet away just because you are expecting a baby.

With a little effort and patience the transition can be made and all members of the family can remain intact.
