Many people believe that cats are better off if we let them go outside or garden but studies show that the cat’s life in a home is much more pleasant and longevity. So if you want your cat and want to have a full life without any physical problems it is best not to let your cat out into the street. Through this policy will prevent poisonings, fights him major damage or simply setbacks that threaten the life of your pet. Obviously a cat turning into “house cat” is a process that must be done when the animal is still puppy because if the cat has been accustomed to go out and reach adulthood, will be much more difficult to “convince” the benefits of stay home (but with patience and tenacity you can get)

The cat house has a number of specific characteristics that we must take into account the time of his care and relate to the most sedentary (much lower in cats that are on the street). For example, in regard to food of cats control that is optimal and balanced, with more emphasis than is given to cats that go out. It must be so that cats living in the house have a deficit of exercise with wrong eating can lead to problems of obesity and resulting diseases. In this regard there are many products on the market capable of meeting the nutritional requirements of domestic cats and highly recommended not to make them fat. Another aspect that can balance the deficit of exercise is the game. If your cat goes outside, it is extremely important that you play with him because that is physically able to stimulate the animal and avoid excessive sedentary lifestyle and bad consequence: the extra kilos. Of course, note that the cat is a very independent animal loses interest easily so it is best to vary the games and toys used to ensure your cat is having fun, exercise and stay fit as well.

Another important aspect to be controlled at home is where the cats scratch, mainly because it is an instinctive activity to develop anyway in nature and if they do not give ourselves a good scraper or similar supplement is more than likely to choose our favorite furniture as a target for their scratches. In this sense, the above solution is to place you in a corner scraper they like the house and teach the first few days this is the place to be used for scratching. It is also important to be educated from the beginning to enter her cat bag so we can move smoothly to the vet for vaccines. And remember: a cat at home is much happier and live to be old also something that cats rarely get out of the house thanks to the constant dangers posed to them

Among other reasons, are prepared to heal wounds and minor abrasions to the ‘saliva’ antiseptic. However, the cat tongue is rough and during the dead or loose hair tends to stick to it, then swallowed. The hair tissue is not easily digestible and accumulates in the stomach or the intestinal tract of the cat, forming what we know as a hairball. The cat vomits out the hairball when irritate the stomach.

If the hairball not goes out with excreta but can block the intestinal tract leading to loss of appetite, constipation and weight loss. The formation of hairballs in cats naturally. Unlike medical and physiological conditions like feline hair loss, dandruff and feline acne cat does not require any complicated process for prevention. If you pay good attention to hair growth and hair looses your cat, you may limit the accumulation of hairballs in the cat’s body.

Comb your cat’s coat regularly, preferably daily. Use a comb that helps in removing dead hair effectively. The choice of the comb should depend on the breed of cat you have and the length of hair. If dead and loose hairs are removed regularly, your cat will tend to swallow little hair in the course of it’s self-cleaning. Consider natural remedies for cats, which helps prevent intestinal accumulation of hairballs in cats. Treatment for hairballs in cats is even easier. It does not involve medication and other skin problems cat and dog. Cats are very good in treating themselves well, at least as it relates to hair balls. A cat with hairballs eats grass and plants in an effort to get rid of hairballs. The fiber in grass and plants facilitates easy removal. If you want to help your cat get rid of hairballs, this is exactly what you need to do to increase their own efforts.

* Additional fiber in the diet of your cat. Catnip, wheat, oats and barley husk, pumpkin, oat bran, green beans, flax and psyllium are natural sources of fiber. Add small amounts of food every other day. A high fiber diet helps in easy removal of the hairball.

* Petroleum jelly acts as a lubricant and makes it easy for the cat to excrete the hairballs. Petroleum jelly is perfectly safe for cats and passes out unabsorbed. There are commercial products available that contain petroleum jelly. If you do not want to buy some, the best way is administered or applied directly as a treat one leg below the elbow for the cat to lick.

A word of caution about high-fiber diet needs to be added here.

High fiber may be needed to treat hairballs in cats, but can cause symptoms of which you need to be aware.

* High fiber holds more water in the system and this can lead to concentrated urine that makes your cat more susceptible to a disorder of the urinary tract.

* The fiber does not guarantee the elimination of hairballs that are stuck in the stomach.

* Too much fiber can lead to diarrhea or a significant increase in the bulk of stools.

Formulas remedies available commercially hairball may deny your cat some foods that are necessary for growth. These formulas can also be expensive. If you want too pretty formula for a hairball, choose a natural remedy for pets on the chemical to avoid any dangerous side effects.
