You need to do more than just treat your cat. The fleas are in your carpet, furniture and bedding. Vacuum thoroughly and wash all the bedding, including cat beds. Borax kills fleas by dehydrating them. It is available in the laundry isle at your local grocery store. Sprinkle it on, grind it in with a squeegee or dust mop and leave it. Use it on your furniture also. It won't hurt the furniture or carpet. Make sure you cover cracks and corners.
Fleas live under your cat's fur dining off their blood, biting and producing hundreds of fleas. Can you imagine that many fleas biting and sucking your cat's blood? It causes vomiting, diarrhea, anemia, loss of appetite, loss of fur and a dull coat. A small kitten has little chance of survival if not treated quickly.
While you hate to see your cat suffering from fleas, the quick fix of harsh chemicals can leave your pet worse off than if you hadn't acted at all. Fortunately, there are organic flea treatments for cats that rid your cat of fleas while sparing his or her health in other ways.
Litter box training for cats is generally a simple matter. Unlike dogs, cats are much easier to house train, probably because as a rule you do not expect your cat to go outside. Kittens and cats are pretty much habit driven animals and once you have established the box routine they generally will not deviate from it. Getting them trained is simple but there are a few basic things you need to remember about cats litter box training.
The only times a cat will vary from their litter training is when the box is full or perhaps otherwise occupied by another feline resident. This is one of the many good reasons to have a spare box that your cats are familiar with. They will also choose a corner in the living room if their box becomes too full or foul smelling. Cats are clean animals as a rule and when there is no more room at the inn, they will choose other lodging, if you get the meaning. Litter box training for cats is pretty straightforward, be patient in the beginning and your precious kitten will catch on.
At this point litter box training for cats is a simple matter of placing your kitten or cat in the box several times per day until they get the general idea. In order to reinforce what they are supposed to do you can take their paw and gently scratch through the litter. This gives them the basic idea and now all you must do is wait for nature to take its course. After they have successfully used the box, once or twice you can call your litter box training for cats complete.
Natural and organic flea treatments can be even more effective than their chemical counterparts.
Cats belong to the feline family and therefore their requirements are obviously different when compared to other pets. If you have had other pets before, there is not guarantee that you will know how to handle a cat.
During the holiday season, the first choice that comes to mind is the Christmas cactus. It comes in a range of colors. When you order it from a supplier, make sure you are buying one that is blooming. You would expect the cactus to have blooms, but it never hurts to check before you purchase.
