The content of cats in city apartment usually does not frame problems. But all the same a kitten - one more member of monogynopaedium. For one it becomes the child, for others - the friend, and for some - the unique interlocutor. And certainly it would be desirable the liked kid to present love and a cosiness. What the most important at the content of cats? Naturally, the most important thing - is nourishing and is high-grade to feed and frame hygienic.
The cat's toilets
The cat's toilets differ on the dimensions and depth. In general, the more the dimensions of a toilet tray, the better, especially if at you there lives a kitten of a male. You would be surprised, if have foreseen, what big he can grow, therefore and to plan it is necessary in advance.
The cat's toilets happen two basic phylums: occluded and open. The occluded boxes can be successful acquisition for masters if their cats spray urine, squat on an edge and make an emiction or a defecation by a box, scatter pads an excipient at digging or prefer is reserved to satisfy the needs of nature.
The occluded boxes can be undesirable only in two cases. The first: when you do not see a contained box forget about him. It was necessary to see more than it would be desirable to recollect, the occluded toilet boxes so overflowed with excrement, that we even could not imagine, where the cat when entered into a box went. The second case is when your cat simply does not wish to use such box. Some cats do not guess how to use automatic door, therefore the door it is necessary to take out or prefer an open pot.
If your cat squats, making an emiction, does not scatter around an excipient of a toilet and does not hesitate to use an open box, to you, probably, and the occluded box is not required. A choice here it is exclusive for you and for your cat.
Excipients for the cat's toilets
Use of a special excipient becomes the most convenient decision of a "toilet" problem. And than the excipient is more convenient and more favourable usual pan with a reticulum? Absence of an odour in the house! Many wish to get a kitten, but are intercepted in pavor, that in apartment will smell. The excipient solves this problem! Also that you should not hurry from job is very important or to refuse to itself in pleasure to leave on target for a city!
You should not ask friends and neighbours to glance for a minute on a visit to wash the pan. The excipient solves this problem - "place" of a cat always chilly! And certainly the question on long schooling of the kid to purity does not arise at all! The cat has reflex bent for to a tray with an excipient, and you will be relieved of "unexpectedness" in уголочках apartments! Really it is all so simply? Has bought an excipient saccule - and in the house purity and the cat is happy and cheerful?
Some cats it is enough spoiled also are choosy, therefore it is necessary to select not only an economical, hygienic excipient, but also such which is pleasant to a cat! Really excipients so different, what is pleasant to one cat, and another is not present? Naturally. I know many not purebred cats who are not less choosy to a toilet, than the Persian beauties. And, for example, for the white Persian the question of a qualitative excipient is even more important! The long, light wool easily turns yellow and is spoilt from a bad sand. And the owner should wash a cat more often and more assiduously.
In the market, apparently, annually there are new kinds of excipients for the cat's toilets. What of many approaches for your cat? Mainly it is defined by its personal choice. If it uses any excipient, means, it and is that is necessary. For your knowledge we will discuss here pluses and minuses of some kinds of the excipients which are available on sale.
Clay
It for a long time known and enjoying love of cats an excipient. Usually it is easy for finding, it is rather inexpensive and comprehensible to many cats. It is a good product, but, on the other hand, serious enough, and some kinds of such excipient form a dust that is harmful to your cat.
Allow us to tell, not too going into details, that clay can be various depending on a geographical position and from the stamp. Therefore if your cat really likes a certain clay excipient, try to use all time it. It is not necessary to think, that all clay excipients are identical.
Excipients
In advertising of such excipients it is said, that thanking it purity maintenance in the cat's toilet becomes trifling business. In such excipient the cat's urine forms a clod which is easy for cleaning from a box by means of a scoop and to throw out. No urine, any odour, also is present necessity weekly to change an excipient! It is necessary to notice, that such kind of an excipient is pleasant not to all cats, so a choice behind it. This kind of an excipient is convenient for nurseries in which several cats should use the general box as "another's" odour will not scare cats from a tray.
The paper waste, the granulated hinges of corncobs, shuck of wheat and woollen waste
All these excipients possess ability to a biodegradation, they can be lowered in a toilet bowl in reasonable quantities, they lungs and possess quite good absorbing power. Many of these excipients have a pleasant odour for cats. Cats some of them easily scatter pads around, instilling excrement. At all excipients the pluses and minuses.
Many sires add in excipients of such kind scents. To many cats extraneous odours not on taste - and they declare boycott to a habitual pot! Also it is dangerous to kids: the odour involves silly little chaps, and bent for to research forces to taste odorous crumbs...
Toilet: a place choice
For disposition of the cat's toilet choose such places in apartment which are easily accessible to a cat, are easily cleaned, aired and where to a cat nobody stirs. On concrete vital conditions depends, whether to put a toilet in one any place or to place in many parts of a room. Whenever possible it is better to put a pan in a place where more often wash a floor (in a corridor, on kitchen, in a toilet). If it is impossible to watch constantly a place of the cat's toilet contaminations are necessary for washing off in each separate case and to change drawsheets. At many owners the tray costs in a toilet. The unique problem consists that the door in a toilet should be always slightly opened. And more one problem is a turn in the morning.
Cleaning of the cat's toilet
The important hygienic value has maintenance in purity of capacities for a toilet. It is regularly necessary to regenerate a drawsheet, some times in a week to wash itself a pan with warm water are the major preconditions of purity of the animal. Destruction of sand and sawdust is bound to the big difficulties. In a toilet they cannot be lowered in no event, they will litter tubes. Sawdust can be burnt in small amounts if there is a suitable oven. Sand, in the presence of the ground area, it is necessary to instill deeply. Inhabitants of the big cities who do not have such possibilities, see a unique exit in a garbage box in a yard.
Schooling of a kitten to a tray
The kittens cultivated in city, room conditions receive ability to use a tray in the inheritance from mum. Skilled mother shows to the kittens a tray and explains in the cat's tongue for what it it is necessary. If mother not skilled the owner should take this duty on itself. Usually the tray is established in "nest" where there live kittens or in immediate proximity from a box with kids. To use an excipient for kittens, 5 weeks are younger it is not recommended, because silly little chaps try new to taste all. It is better to use open a pan with a reticulum or a simple photographic pan. For a bottom of a tray стелется the newspaper so that it has occluded all bottom of a cuvette. When the kid starts to be disturbed, it should be placed in a tray and not to permit to leave it while it will not make the business. The praise and a weasel will be perfect encouragement! It is not necessary to change a newspaper at once. Let the odour remains in the pan, next time the kitten will understand faster, what needs this adaptation. Usually there are enough 2-3 times to track the kid that it has remembered a tray.
At moving to the new house ask to give the factory owner to you "the letter from the house", that is a newspaper or an excipient with an odour.
Toilet problems
Sometimes there are situations when the kitten or an adult cat refuse to use the offered toilet. From what it happens? The causes can be a little:
# the Cat does not like a tray or an excipient. He insufficiently high or the small dimension, a cat is afraid to visit the occluded tray or can not cope with the door in a small house
the Mean of the decision of a problem: to change a tray or to deliver the second tray, after all many cats prefer in one tray to do affairs "in a more way", and in the second - "in a little way"... To Fill, clean, or easier to change excipient phylum.
# the Cat does not like a tray situation. The place chosen by you insufficiently lonely, or, on the contrary, extremely far deleted from habital of kitten. Sometimes the cat persistently proves to the owner, that a corner in a hall - the best place for a toilet, and the owner, such inscrutable, swears instead of perceiving a hint
the Mean of the decision of a problem: to deliver other tray or to move a habitual tray in that place which were chosen by a cat. But how to be, if this place to inconveniently owner? For example, the tray under a table will stir having dinner, and toilet odours - not the best seasoning by a supper
In that case it is necessary to deceive a cat - agree with its decision on change of a place for a toilet. But then, gradually, on 2-3 sm a day shift pan in the necessary party and so until it "will not reach" the purpose. The place pristinely chosen by a cat should be made inaccessible - deliver in this angle a curbstone, or a box with toys
And more one good mean based on cleanliness of cats. The cat will never spoil there where eats. That is, disposition of a bowl with water and a forage in a forbidden angle will help it to explain, what is it the place for "toilet affairs" is unsuitable.
# the Cat is sick. In this case the emiction or a defecation call a pain a cat. It binds appearance of a pain about stay in a tray and is reflex tries to avoid a place which delivers it trouble. A decision mean: it is the most important to notice in time the first symptoms of these illnesses and to spend inspection at the doctor (analysises, ultrasonic research). When the pain will pass, the cat will cease to be afraid of a tray and its cleanliness will be recovered.
# Sexual behaviour. More often the cat or a cat at the moment of sexual activity try to involve the sexual partner, abandoning odorous pools in not put places. Not all cats mark a "traditional" mean, spraying odorous drops. Some simply do the affairs at a threshold, we conceal a mode enticing by passing cats. A decision mean: it is viscous or castration (sterilisation).
# the Psychologic causes. When the cat or a cat spoil in absolutely unadapted for this place - in bed, in footwear, in the middle of a room, this behaviour is obviously called by the psychologic causes. A mean of the decision of a problem: to establish that stimulus to which the cat reacts thus and whenever possible to find the question conciliatory proposal. For example, often cats spoil in bed to children who offend them, in such a way carrying out revenge to the offender. Also the cat can write to an armchair in which the visitor unpleasant to it often sits. Sometimes spoiled cats thus accept appearance in the house of the baby or other animal. In this case it is necessary to try to give to a cat as much attention, how much you gave before. Do not caress a new kitten or the pup in the presence of the senior, offended cat. Occlude to the cat access to a room with the child when you cannot check behaviour of the cat.
