One of the things you remember most from your childhood is a pet you had; it can be farm animal, a cat or a dog, but you surely treasured it and treated the animal with a lot of love and care. Whether you had a childhood pet or not, there is a possibility that you may want one at a mature age since you still value the bond that you had with the pet as a child, or because you never had a pet, you now want one in your own home. The main choices to select from are either to have a cat or a dog. For men, it is common to be inclined towards the dog option while for women, the favored choice is a cat. Cats are preferred since the animals have a habit of cleanliness and do not make a lot of noise. One of the cat species that are known to be great pets is Persian. These felines are very adorable. Also known as Persian Longhair, the thick fur that covers the body of these cats give a very beautiful and attractive look and they make very good pets as well as companions. It is common that if you want to get a pet, you should get the opportunity to raise it. Here are some tips for dealing with Persian kittens:
Watch the water intake of the kitten.
It is important that you know that Persian kittens are very delicate and are very vulnerable to diseases that relate to the kidneys. This is because the immunity of the cat species is not fully developed, especially when it is in its infancy. These ailments can be very serious and if the owner does not look out for the signs and the symptoms ignored, the cat may end up requiring surgery. One of the signs of a kidney problem is when the kitten begins to take a lot of water and is very irritable. In this case, you need to take that animal for a veterinary checkup.
Keep the kitten active.
You may want to only have the kitten roaming around indoors because you believe that the cat is very vulnerable to other animals and predators. The kittens may not have much to do within the house and it is important that you at least allow the kitten to be near the window so that it is occupied. Another measure you can take if you do not mind handling an extra cost is leaving the TV on during the day while you are away. This will also keep the kitten occupied and active. You do not need to fear that your house might be messed up by the cat when you are away because the cats are not known to be aggressive or to be hunters. As long as you leave good Persian cat food for the cat, it will not look for other things to eat.
