Kitten Care

Kittens Take Litter Training Without Much Stress

Most kittens and cats take to using a litter box like a fish adapts to water or a bear to hibernation. This usually happens thanks to mama kitty’s life lessons before your new fur baby arrived at your residence. Ideally, kittens should stay with their mother until about 12 to 14 weeks old to learn all the tricks about being a cat. However, situations like taking in a young, stray or an orphaned baby will force humans into a new role as teacher, chief potty trainer and surrogate cat mother. Regardless the circumstances, kittens can be trained to successfully use a litter box with this skill carrying over long into adult life.

Successfully house training a puppy combines consistency, perseverance and long-term responsibility for pet parents.

Flea control requires persistent, prolonged attack

Though fleas can live up to a year and a half (or longer) with a proper food supply and optimum conditions like temperature and perfect humidity, most live only for an average of two to three months. However, in that time period, they make it their life’s work to produce a continuing army of pests. It is this continual production of flea reinforcements, which make the task of flea ridding so daunting. Four stages of development complete the life cycle of a flea-egg, larvae or caterpillar, pupae or cocoon, and adult.
