Caring for an old cat
Old cats: special care
If your cat has reached old age, she definitely needs to pay special attention. Like an elderly person, such an animal needs peace and quiet, as well as the presence of a cozy and warm corner, so try to provide them with it.

From the very first moments of the appearance of a kitten in your home, you must clearly understand what exactly it can do and what it’s absolutely impossible. Usually, raising a kitten begins with the fact that he is allowed to settle in the house, and then gradually show how to handle furniture, carpets and wallpaper.
Try to immediately demonstrate to the animal that you cannot sharpen claws on sofas and armchairs, just as you can not tear wallpaper.
