TOYS AND TRICKS!
There are hundreds of cat toys on the market today
as well as lots of low- and no-cost toys you can make
yourself. "Cats get bored,". "Have a good variety of
toys, but alternate which ones you leave out."
However, even the best toy won't get your cat active
without you. Cats like interaction. Although the toy is
part of that, having a playmate will double her
interest and the time she spends exercising.
They can play various games that will keep them on
the move and in shape. It doesn't take much effort on
your part.
For example:
Toss a small ball, a wad of paper or a piece of food
across the floor for your cat to run after.
PETERBALD'S ARE FETCH EXPERTS.
Play tag! Romp with your cat across the floor or up
the stairs.
Many cats love to play hide and stalk. You can take
turns being the prey and the predator. You can make
cat toys out of stuff around the house like;
Open paper sacks
Empty cardboard boxes
Crumpled paper
Ping-pong or golf ball
Empty spool
Flashlight (shine the light on the floor for your cat to
chase)
Children's soap bubbles (blow in the air for your cat
to catch)
When you're done playing, pick up items so your cat
doesn't accidentally swallow something.
Consider adding a cat tree for jumping and climbing.
Your pet will get exercise even when you're gone.
Just 15 to 30 minutes a day of play can keep your cat
in shape, while strengthening the bond between you.
Children also make wonderful playmates with a few
restrictions. Kids younger than 12 should be
supervised. Teach them to play gently using cat toys,
never their bare hands, and to stop playing when
their pet becomes tired or over-stimulated.
CAT CONDOS!
The first thing to do, while buying a cat house, is to
consider the specific needs of the pet as well as the
conditions surrounding it. Check the space available
for installing the cat house in your yard. Note the
weather conditions prevalent at your premises. This
will decide the material that would prove perfect for
the cat house.
Sturdiness and durability are the two factors that
decide the price of a cat house. Generally, the more
durable and sturdy the house is, the most costly will
it be. For example, wooden cat houses are a bit
costlier than their plastic counterparts, due to their
sturdiness.
Another factor that you should consider is the
portability of the cat house. In case you want to clean
the cat house daily, then choose one that is light in
weight. For instance, the cat houses made from
recycled plastics would be lighter than the wooden
ones.
Cat houses are available in several sizes. Be sure to
choose the size that is perfect fit for your pet, while
allowing enough room for sleeping and feeding as
well, because different breeds of cats differ in their
sizes.
Many cat houses are designed to suit specific needs
of the pet. For instance, some are found with bedding
installed in them, while others come with optional
weatherproofing and insulation inserts. Those with
electric heating pads would be the best bet for
elderly cats or nursing cats.
Cat house with several 'bedrooms' or stories in it is
best suited, if you have more than one cat to
accommodate. Be sure to provide separate bedding
for each of the cats, in the shelter.
Apart from the pet stores in your locality, you may
get numerous options for different kinds of shelters
for cats, online. Choose a cat house that is designed
to match the architecture of your home, in case of
you are very particular of the décor of your home and
its premises. So, you may take a flight of fancy and
purchase the perfect cat house for your kitty, online.
PETERBALD WALKING!
Cats can, indeed, be trained to walk with a leash, the
peterbald was made for it. Sometimes, walking
outdoors is especially good for apartment-bound
pets. It gives them room to stretch their legs. It's
also an excellent way for owners and their felines to
spend time together.
Getting your cat used to walking on a leash may take
time, patience and the right equipment. The process
will be easier if you follow these tips:
Be sure that your cat's harness is secure and fits
properly.
Make sure she's wearing an up-to-date identification
tag.
Before venturing outdoors, map out a route. Select
an area for strolling that's free from dogs, traffic,
loud noises and other dangers.
LETS GO KITTY!
Do some preparation before you take your kitty cat
on a journey. Here are some handy tips that would be
useful for you…
Before you take her to any journey, arrange a crate
or fabric containment to carry your cat. Your cat will
feel secure and sheltered in these containers.
It might be a good idea to do a trial run to judge your
cat's behavior. If your cat is ultra-reluctant, take it
slow but be committed to it. They will more than
likely enjoy it but have to be showed that it's all good
first.
Make sure you tag your cat with an identity card or
other means of identification to assure her safety. Do
not also let her loose, she might run away.
Generally cats can suffer from motion sickness. You
will have to customize her of traveling which will help
her get desensitization from this traveling method.
You can give her gradual training by making her sit in
the car first of all with the engine off, then with the
engine on, after she gets used to it, take her on short
trips, you can finally take her on a cross country trip.
Make sure your cat has taken a meal three hour
before you set off on any journey. After that you
must feed your nauseous cat with anti-motion
sickness medications to avoid hassle during the
journey.
If you are traveling alone with your cat, always
buckle her up with the seat belt to avoid any
unpleasant incident.
Make sure that your cat does not have any access to
the driver side floor near the brake and gas pedals.
Also make sure that your car's dashboard must be
out of her bounds for safety sake.
NEVER LEAVE KITTY ALONE IN A LOCKED CAR!

TWO CATS CAN BE BETTER THAN ONE!
Two cats is a great way to meet many of your kitties needs
and also ours for more Pererbald lovin. Sometimes the
best exercise comes from a fellow cat. Cat's who are left
alone during the day can benefit greatly from a
companion kitty. Two cats will amuse themselves for
hours playing games of their own invention. Older, more
sedate cats can be jump started into exercise with the
addition of a kitten to the household.
