From choosing the right kitten through to litter training, this book will show you how to prepare your home for your new arrival, assess your kitten's health, prevent behavioural problems and help your pet socialize with other animals. Includes sections on breeds of cat, choosing your kitten, how to prepare your home for the new arrival, a kitten's lifestyle, advice on feeding, litter training, grooming and health care. It also covers the latest behavioural information on dealing with problems such as furniture-scratching and houseplant-chewing.
Here is the perfect book for kitten owners and would-be kitten owners who want to know how to bring their kittens up to be a happy, well-behaved, friendly cat.
The Perfect Kitten gives you the latest behavioral information, emphasizing prevention rather than cure, and explains how this wild predator can adapt to modern life with humans. Follow Peter Neville and Claire Bessant's easy-to-understand advice and you should have no trouble with problem cat behavior such as furniture scratching or houseplant chewing when your cat is fully grown.
