Hello, cat people! Are you a rookie or experienced? Well, it doesn’t matter. All that matter is our love for cats. Cats don’t have nine lives, so we need to do what we can to protect them. Here are some tips for you to pay attention to while taking care of their health.  

The right vaccinations. Shots protect your cat from diseases caused by viruses and bacteria. They can also strengthen their immune system. No matter what age are your cats, they need a vaccine for physical health. You can consult your vet to figure out which vaccines are best and how often should your cat get shots. It usually depends on their age, overall health, and lifestyle. Besides, many local and state governments have laws about vaccines.

Thus, feeding plays an important role in their health. “Cats are very opinionated about food, and a lot of their food preference is formed in the first year”, says Julie A. Churchill, DVM, Ph.D. professor of nutrition. So, if your cat is a kitten, now is the time to get them used to various types of food. But if your cat is older, there are still ways to make sure they get enough nutrients through a balanced meal. Dawn and dusk are their normal hunting time, so those are the best times to feed them.
