Well I have had my new cat for about 2 weeks now.
I'm guessing he's about 2 months or slightly older.
I will not be de-clawing him.
1. I have a carpet based scratch post, is there something better I can get
to help dull his claws more? Wood or a metal post perhaps?
2. I've been feeding him both canned & dry food. Usually I give him alittle
of both, he eats the canned food first & usually leaves the dry food, but eats
it later. Is this OK? I haven't really concerned myself with how much I feed
him either. I heard that cats just eat what they need & won't overeat like
dogs.
3. I never took him to the vet yet. I don't see any fleas on him, but should I
be worried about that? Can I wait awhile before I take him to the vet?
4. My plan on training him where he can & can't go is with a spray water
bottle with I heard works well. Is this a good training method?
