Don't leave drape cords near your cats. The cats will start playing with the cords and they can easily wrap around their necks. They could be seriously hurt or even killed. Pin the cords of your drapes up where your cat can't get to them.

Any drape cords should be hidden so the cat cannot grab hold of them. Cats love to play with hanging cords and this poses the threat of your cat hurting themselves or becoming entangled. This is an extreme choking hazard and should be prevented at all costs. Secure your cords so they are out of the way and out of sight.

Make a free toy for your cat by placing a little dry rice or a few dry beans inside an empty pill bottle. Close the lid and roll the rattly toy across the floor. Most cats can't resist the sound and motion. You can also tie a length of twine around the neck of the bottle to make a pull toy or a dangly toy.

Make sure your cat is properly hydrated. Like humans, cats need to drink lots of water. If they don't get enough water, they can get dehydrated, develop various health problems, or die. Make sure they always have a bowl of fresh and clean water. The bowl itself also needs to be cleaned and refilled every day. You should also keep this bowl in one location.

Cats and electrical cords don't mix. If you notice your cat has a habit of chewing on electric cords, try to bundle them up and hide them out of the cat's reach. If that's not possible, spray a little bit of bitter apple onto the cords. Not only is bitter apple non-toxic, cats absolutely hate the taste.

Location is key when placing a litter box. Don't put it where the cat can't reach it or near their food. Also be sure that the cat litter area is ventilated so the smell doesn't linger. Both you and your pet will appreciate that.

Do not wait too long to scoop any waste that has accumulated in a cat litter box. When left dirty for too long, bacteria can grow and it can cause health issues for you and your kitten. It is best to do this every single day so you avoid any issues.

When you introduce a new cat into your home, you have to be careful with how your other cat reacts. Try giving the new cat a little space in one room at first, and then introduce him to the rest of the house. Make sure to have different litter boxes at first too. If you ease the new cat in, it will go more smoothly for everyone.

As you can see now, it's not terribly difficult to care for a cat. You just have to be patient and everything will fall into place for you. Take the things that you have learned here and you'll be well equipped to deal with cats. Enjoy your feline friends and good luck!
