Did you know...Cat Toy and Collar

Toy

• Choose your cat toys carefully. Choose light toys (for tossing), soft toys (for teeth and claws) and toys large enough that they can't be swallowed.
• A flashlight makes a great cat toy! Turn the flashlight on in a dark room, and watch your feline "chase" the beam of light!
• Cats love to hide! If yours comes up "missing," be sure to check in the bathtub, in your closet, in the dresser drawers, under a blanket or rug...or anywhere else you can possibly think off!



Collar

• A collar and tag can help your cat find his way home should he ever be lost. Better yet -- outfit your cat with an electronic identification chip.
• To make sure your cat's collar fits properly, make sure you can slip two fingers under the collar, between the collar and your cat's neck.

Did you know...Cat Sleep


• Cats are the sleepiest of all mammals. They spend 16 hours of each day sleeping. With that in mind, a seven year old cat has only been awake for two years of its life!
• Cats are more active during the evening hours.


Don't disturb my slumber

Did you know...Cat Food

• Have you ever tried to feed your cat food that was just taken out of the refrigerator? Most cats prefer their food at room temperature, and will boldly REFUSE any food that is too cold or too hot.
• Give your cat fresh water at least once a day. If your cat refuses your tap water, it may be sensing (with it's superior sense of smell) the chlorine or other minerals in your water. Many finicky felines demand bottled water, just like their human counterparts.
• Don't put your cat on an all-vegetarian diet. Cats need protein to survive.
• Never feed your cat dog food. Cats need five times more protein than dogs do
• If your cat misses one meal, a trip to the vet may be necessary.
• If you can't feel your cat's ribs, she's too heavy.
• Domestic cats are essentially loners. When placed in a group, they develop their own hierarchy. As long as there is plenty of food on hand, a cat can learn to share it's domain with other cats.
• Each year Americans spend four billion dollars on cat food. That's one billion dollars more than they spend on baby food!
• In an average year, American cat owners spend $2.15 billion on cat food and $295 million on kitty litter.
