Q. Do cats get
along
well with other animals?
A.
Actually, yes, very
well. Cats are extremely inquisitive, and have very little
hesitation in meeting new animals. We have placed our s
into homes with owners with existing dogs, even large breed dogs, and
they have done excellent. Just as long as the existing animal
is
friendly and gentle, then there should be no problems. We do,
however, choose to NOT adopt out our babies to homes that have
Pitt-bulls or Rotweilers.
Q.
Should I
adopt a female or a male kitten?
A. Both
males and females make
wonderful pets. There is little variation in their
personalities,
once they have been de-sexed. Some "generalized" cat care
books
state that males are more extraverted and more apt to adapt themselves
with strangers. And, females are said to be more standoffish,
and
need more time to bond with their owners or adapt to company or
strangers. We have found that with cats this is not
always necessarily so. Part of the intrigue with cats in
general is how wonderful they are with their human
companions.

Q.
What
kind of litter do you recommend using?
A. First,
what I DON'T
recommend is any kind of "clumping" litter. It can be
dangerous
for
kittens less than six months of age. And, there are much
better
alternatives. We recommend Swheat Scoop or World's Best Cat
Litter.
We have had the
best feedback
on these two products. If neither one is available in your
area,
then
we recommend using a basic, unscented clay litter.
Q. Is
it true that cats are hypoallergenic?
A.
No. The cats we sell, need to stay indoors and therefore are
exposed to less
pollen than someone petting a cat that is going in and out of their
home. Also, our cats have a "low shedding" coat and mat very
little or
usually not at all. They can commonly have a curiosity with
water.
Many cats actually enjoy being bathed, so long as they have started
this process early on, therefore, reducing problems for allergy
sufferers.
Q. What
happens if I want to change the food that my kitten is eating?
A. We
recommend feeding your kitten Pro Plan by Purina
kitten food until he or she has
reached at least one year of age. If in this time you choose
to
change
the kitten's food, dramatically, it could cause some stomach upset or
diarrhea. What we recommend is a gradual transition, adding a
bit
more
each day, slowly mixing in a little of the new food with their existing
food until completely switched over. This usually takes
approximately
two weeks. There are many good foods on the market, but of
course
we
want to see our kittens only eating "premium" quality kitten foods.
Q. What
kind of food and water dishes do you recommend?
A.
Stainless steel or ceramic
is preferred. Please try to avoid using plastic food and
water
dishes,
as they can discolor the muzzle and cause chin acne.
