We encourage owners to feed their new
kitten the best food possible. Pro Plan,
Eukanuba, Iams and Royal Canin are all
good dry foods to keep on hand for your
new baby. Make these available to your
kitten 24 hours a day. We also give a
little bit of wet food twice a day and we
also give raw meat twice a day. Always
have fresh water available.

Our sweet Oliver
Kittens have a great deal of natural curiosity and may get into things that can hurt them.
This is a guideline for making your home safe for your new kitten:
1. Kittens start to lose their baby teeth at around 4 months. They may want to chew on
things to ease the pain of teething at this time. Electrical cords, computer cables and
phone lines are particularly appealing for chewing. Unplug cords when they are not in
use or make sure they are in places that are inaccessible to your kitten. Kittens can get a
nasty burn from shocks from electrical cords. They may also develop fluid in the lungs if
the shock is severe enough. Any kitten suspected of receiving an electrical shock should
be examined by a vet to determine the extent of the injury.
2. Kittens also like to chew strings, yarn and ribbons. Do not allow them to play with
these unsupervised and put them away where the kitten cannot find them when not in
use. Kittens may partially swallow a string or ribbon. Foreign objects in the intestines can
cause them to become infected or blocked and result in death if untreated. Never try to
pull out a partially swallowed string. If it is suspected that a kitten has swallowed a
foreign object take the kitten to the vet for an e-ray to determine if surgery will be needed
to remove the object.
3. Keep other small objects that may be swallowed such as needles, pins, push pins,
thumb tacks and safety pins put away in areas inaccessible to the kitten. Many milk and
juice cartons have a round plastic disk connected to a pull tab that is used to seal the
carton. These are especially dangerous to cats, as they can lodge in the throat and
obstruct breathing. Discard them in a trash can inaccessible to your cats.
4. Do not leave drapery or window blind cords hanging free. They can be a strangulation
hazard. Tuck them away to discourage the kittens from playing with them.
5. Many house plants are poisonous to cats. Consult a list of these plants
(www.cfainc.org/articles/plants.html) and place any poisonous plants out of the areas
where the kittens will be living.
This is just a few of the things that a new kitten owner should be aware of. Upon
purchase of a kitten from Agavecoon Cattery, a full list of hazards will be given to the
new owners.

Proper grooming is a big part in keeping your new kitten happy and healthy. Weekly
brushing will help to keep tangles away. You can always bath your kitten once in a while
to keep shedding under check.
