Owning a pretty baby CAT is very interesting experience, especially when it is healthy and naughty. Cats are very beautiful creatures of God. A wild cat doesn't needs any specific care and attention, but a family animal should be cared regularly, as it keeps them healthy and clean. Children can play with them harmlessly. Following are some basic steps, which should always be considered for a CAT CARE.
Shampooing:
Shampoo your cat regularly with a special anti-flea shampoo. Use luke warm water. Wash the shampoo thoroughly, because cats lick their bodies very frequently. Dry their body with the help of soft absorbent towel.

The Right direction to brush is from head to tail. I would be great if you can brush them daily, especially for the long-haired cats, fat cats or sick cats who face a difficulty in licking their hair. While brushing hair, you should their hair and skin if there is anything wrong so you can prevent it in time.

If you notice that your cat is scratching and flipping the ears, that is the sign of the problem with the ears. If you suspect the inflammation in the ears, please take them to the veterinarian for proper care.

Teeth Care:
Teeth grow when cats are four months old. Teeth brushing is needed in order to prevent teeth decay and plaque. You can find toothpaste and toothbrush that specially made for them. It's better to brush their teeth everyday in order to guard the teeth from tarter which can cause gum inflammation, achy gum, unstable teeth, even worse, the infectious disease flow through the blood current to the liver, kidney and heart, these are the results of bad teeth, which can be removed on your own. The only way is to take them to the veterinarian who will use a general anesthetic and get rid off tarter with the special equipment. Another way to prevent tarter is to feed them with the crispy, crunchy, dry cat food.
Nails Care:
If the nails of your cat are too long, it can scratch nails until they are broken and bled which results in the inflammation.
The best way to prevent it, to cut their nails every 3-4 weeks. If you unintentionally bleed her while cutting the nails, you can apply stop-bleeding powder which can easily be found at the pet shop or press the cotton wool on the wound around 1-2 minutes.
Important: Please go easy on you cat if she resist to cut the nails.
