If you love cats and kittens as much as I do (we have four of them…that should tell you something) then you will LOVE this great site I stumbled across called the Cat Channel. WOW! Everything and anything you want to know about Cats can be found here on this site. And I do mean EVERYTHING! From cat health to cat nutrition and from cat shows to cat breeders. They even have a special section on kittens which I think should be a mandatory section for people to read BEFORE adopting or purchasing a kitten.
We adopted all our cats as kittens and even though they are all adult cats now, reading through the kitten section I realized that we are far from cat “experts” and there are things I learned that I wish I knew when my cats were kittens. I LOVE their article on kittens from “A – Z”. You can read the article by clicking here.
Another VERY interesting article I found on the Cat Channel is about the litter box. It talks a lot about litter box training. What I love about kittens is that they pretty much know to use the litter box right away unlike puppies which need to be potty trained. One thing I did learn that I honestly didn’t give much thought to is not to put the litter box near the cat food. Uh-oh… we put the cat food dish on top of the litter box because it keeps our dog from eating their food. I’m guessing maybe the dust from the litter is not good? I’m not sure. But in any event I think we have to come up with a new place to keep the cat’s food so that our dog doesn’t get it.
To read more about this interesting litter box article click here.
There is a lot of great information about other Cat related things on the Cat Channel. I found the article about an Emerging Feline Disease VERY interesting (and somewhat disturbing).
If you are looking for a specific breed of cat the Cat Channel offers a list of breeders separated by the various breeds. Wow! Who knew there were so many breeds of cats. We have four “mutts” since our cats are all strays and one was a wild cat.
You can even subscribe to Cat Fancy magazine on the Cat Channel website too.
If you are thinking about getting a kitten in the new year please visit the Cat Channel and read up on kitten care before you bring that sweet little kitten into your home. Or if you are a more “seasoned” cat owner I’m sure you can still find a lot of very useful information on the Cat Channel website.
By they way they also have a Dog Channel too! I’m on my way over to check out that site now.
A GREAT Website for Cat & Kitten Lovers
