One of the critical mistakes new cat owners make isn’t visiting the veterinarian for a physical examination.  Many folks are of the opinion that the only time they have to see a cat doctor is when the feline is unwell or wounded.  Lamentably this misconception can be negative to the fitness of your pet.  Proper care for your kitty requires more than food, water and a clean litter box. 

As with youngsters there are many illnesses that may be stopped by getting proper vaccinations.  Most vets advocate that moggies get them right after they are born.  These vaccinations can protect your kitten from heartworm, FIV and other diseases that may negatively affect the health of your feline.  During your visit your veterinarian will cover in detail the counseled vaccination schedule.  The vaccines your doctor commends will be based totally on whether the kitten will remain indoors or out of doors.  Also whether other pets are kept in the house is an element.  By giving your vet this information they’re going to be able to administer the correct vaccines to give your cat the best protection. 

Even if your feline is an indoor kitty it is smart to keep up with an annual trip to the vet.  This may help you keep tabs on your pets health as well as uncover any issues in advance and also get the correct booster vaccines administered. 

Another strong reason to take your cat in for routine checks is that you may not know that there is something wrong with your kitten, but your veterinarian is trained and can discover if there are any potential issues.  Also if you’ve been taking your feline to them for a period of time, they will have your kittens complete history, and most will know your pussy and will recognize if something seems to be different on that particular visit.  Assist your vet during your kittens exam exam by noting any changes that you will have observed in your moggy since the last visit.  You may not think that it is weird or that there’s not anything wrong with your moggy, but it’ll help in figuring out your cat’s overall fitness.  Any changes in your kitten may not mean anything, but it is always good to keep your vet informed of changes as they can scribble it down for any future reference in case something does arise and wishes attention. 

There may be a point when you will need to line up an appointment veterinarian before it is time for the following booked checkup for boosters.  There are still diseases that the boosters do not forestall, so take your feline chum in for a special visit.  There will also be other issues that though not life-threatening, shouldn’t be ignored, that you will need to test your kitten for, such as fleas and ticks.  Our cats get given treatment for fleas when they need it.  I didn’t have to before, but we probably did bring a dog into the family and with him came fleas.  So we do treat all of them or fleas, and I get a favored flea treatment from my vet. 

It is very important for yourkitten’s health and well being that you make routine appointments with the vet to receive their booster shots and an overall check.  It will keep them healthy and content, and they will reward you with tons of love.
