6 Tips for Raising an Affectionate Cat

Kittens require 8 weeks with their mother and siblings.  If not, give it constant care and bottle-feed it. 

Don’t Treat Your Kitten Like an Adult

As its human parent, cultivate trust and dependability.  To maintain good health at this young age, care is essential.

Don’t Treat Your Kitten Like an Adult

Regardless of age, be kind to your kitten to help it learn appropriate social behaviour with other animals and people.

Gentleness Breeds Gentleness

Don't get upset with kittens for being misbehaving.  Use toys or scratching posts to divert biting or scratching. 

Reward Good Behavior

Make sure there are appropriate scratching posts and safe areas. After a fun playtime, reward your kitten with a special treat and lots of affection if it has behaved well.

Reward Good Behavior

After weaning and vaccines, socialization is essential to help kittens feel at ease among people and other animals. 

Socialize & Condition

After 8 weeks of age, include children in suitable social interactions to prevent isolation.

Socialize & Condition

Playing with your kitten face-to-face is essential.  It promotes goodwill towards people and increases the link between people and animals.

Be Present for Playtime

Cats in good health show more affection.  Your cat might not be friendly or affectionate if it's sick.

Keep Your Kitten Healthy

 For optimum growth and development, provide your pet proper nutrition, preventative veterinarian care, immunizations, deworming, and a nutritious diet.
