Maintenance and feeding
Cats should be taken to a vet at least once a year for an eye, tooth, and ear checkup, as well as yearly immunizations based on their age and state of health.
A veterinarian can evaluate your new cat or kitten's nutrition to identify the best option of food brand. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, age, activity level, and health all influence what and how much a cat should eat.
The most frequent operations done on pets to avoid overpopulation are spaying and neutering. The ASPCA advises that female cats be spayed and male cats be neutered by the age of five months.
Cats should be kept inside since they are more likely to be hit by a vehicle, get into fights with other cats and animals, or have flea and tick infestations if they are left outside.
