A new kitten at home: what should we take into account?

We have welcomed a new friend, a living being who deserves all our respect. For an easy adaptation and a good coexistence, it is necessary to be very clear about some basic questions of hygiene and behavior of domestic felines.

What are the items that cannot be missing when we adopt a kitten, in addition to the feeder and the drinker?

The essential sandbox

The litter box is one of them: it should be located in a part of the house where there is not much movement, so that the puppy does not suffer discomfort, nor do the owners (the smells of the tray are inevitable).

It should preferably be bare, low-edged and large enough to favor the kitten’s entry and exit. It also needs to be wide enough for the animal to fit completely when it grows up , so that it can move around in that tight space with ease.

Good maintenance of this accessory requires daily cleaning of debris, and all sand must be replaced weekly. To facilitate this habit and reduce ammonia odors from cat urine during litter changes, you can use MENFORSAN anti-ammonia for the cat tray , a harmless and natural product that eliminates that unpleasant smell from litter boxes.

If the kitten marks its territory (in the case that it is in heat, for example) and urinates out of its tray and in inappropriate places in the house, we recommend that you use the enzymatic remover of urine and stains from MENFORSAN , which It effectively eliminates any residual odor and the recent or old stains of the urine of dogs and cats. Plus, it makes bleach or ammonia cleaners unnecessary.

Its enzymatic formula helps you break down organic waste from all types of surfaces and fabrics (floors, cushions, carpets, sheets, quilts …) without producing any fence or discoloration of its materials.

Take away the stress

The cat tends to climb. In a house it will do it for the furniture and will damage it. To avoid this, it is a good idea to put a pole that you can climb, and also a scraper to sharpen your nails on it and not on the chairs or table legs. To induce them to use them, apply MENFORSAN anti-stress for cats to the post and scratching post. It contains catnip, a plant that attracts you and that applied to these elements will encourage you to use them frequently.

You can buy the products online at Menforsan.com
