Cat care basics food and treats

If you're thinking about getting a cat or new to cat owership here are just a few tips.

There is some debate on whether kibble (dry food) or wet food is better.  I use both but stick to high quality dry.  Dry means they can snack when they are hungry and wet food contains water so it keeps them hydrated.  Wet also has a better smell to cats encouraging a good appetite.

Feed at regular times and keep a routine.  I've fostered cats that have gobbled up food as soon as it's put down.  After a while, with many cats, this calms down.  It's as if they begin to trust that their servant owner will keep the food coming.

Finally keep spare food bowls so you can replace dirty bowls while you soak and clean them without your cat getting all in a tiz wondering where his food bowl went.
