1.Spay/Neuter
Spaying or Neutering improves a cats health and also prevents it from giving birth to kittens. By surgical procedure a male cat's testicles are removed which makes them less prone to prostate problems and stops them from spraying inside the house.
A female cats uterus and ovaries are removed which reduces the risk of Brest Cancer, Uterus Infections and tumors. A female cat also stop the meowing they do during their heat cycles.
A neutered or spayed cat is more calmer, friendlier and is focused on you instead of mating.
2: Keep your cat indoor
Facts suggest that indoor cats live longer. They are free from human abuse and also from some predators like dogs, owls and coyotes. There wont be any fights with unfamiliar cats any of which could transmit parasites or diseases such as feline leukemia or FIV (feline immunodeficiency virus).
Train your cat to wear a leash whenever you take her outside for walkand you can also make a cage and outside where your cat can enjoy fresh air while staying safe.
3. Annual Vet Check Up
Annual vet check up plays an important role in keeping your cat healthy. The vet thoroughly checks your cats weight, eyes, ears, teeth and fur or skin. Cats older then 7 should see a vet twice a year. Your cat may also be due for rabies shots.
If you notice any change in your cats behaviour like change in eating habits, foul breath, weight loss, vomiting coughing or blood in stool or urine visit your vet immidiatly
4. Keeping Your Cat Fit
Kittens are bundles of energy while cats slow the pace down as they age. Create a lifestyle for your cat which keeps them fit. The benefits of a healthy cat are a longer life. Keeping your cat active will keep her from gaining weight. You can keep your cat fit and active by getting a cat tower for her, or you can even play with her by dragging a ball of string.
A fit and active cat will fight obesity and live longer.
5. Follow Good Nutrition
Unlike cartoon cats that live on milk, real-life felines need a balance of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals. Cats are meat eaters, so the ammino acids in animal proteins are crucial to their survival. High-quality, commercially produced cat foods can offer complete nutrition for every cat. Specialty formulas for diabetes, kidney or dental problems are also available.
The dry food/canned food choice is usually one of human convenience: Dry food is easy, while canned food smells and dries out if it's not consumed right away. Some veterinarians contend that dry food's content is heavily plant-based, and recommend the higher protein and moisture levels in wet food. You can decide what's best for your cat by reading nutrition labels and consulting your own vet. Quantity counts, too: Cats with free access to dry food may overeat. A battery-powered feeder with a timer can limit your cat's intake.
You can even try making a home made cat food which is fresh and healthy.
