Preparing for the Kit(ten) Caboodle

December is National Cat Lovers’ Month, and if there’s one thing that cat lovers want — it’s the whole kit(ten) caboodle. In other words, they want as much time with their cuddly companions as possible. This requires starting them off on a healthy path, so here are 5 tips on how to support your cat’s overall health and happiness:

1. Create a Grooming Regimen
   Brushing your cat’s fur regularly will limit knots and hairballs, and a grooming routine also helps to maintain healthy human interaction with your cat.
   
2. Start Them on a Supplement
   The early days are critical in building a strong nutritional foundation; however, many kittens don’t get the complex nutrients they need from a regular diet. The Kitten Kitfrom Standard Process, a leading whole food-based nutritional supplement company, can help provide nutritional support for healthy cats as they grow. Along with a cat nip toy, the Kitten Kit includes:
   1. Feline Whole Body Support: This offers general multisystem support for daily maintenance of all the body systems, with emphasis on a healthy endocrine system.
   2. Feline Immune System Support: This supports optimal function of the immune system and provides nutritional and biochemical support for healthy immune cells and tissues.
3. Provide Enrichment Activities
   Scratching is a natural, healthy, and important behavior for cats. Training your cat to use a scratching post is a great way to keep their nails in top condition and it helps stretch their muscles.
4. Maintain a Healthy Weight
   It’s best to keep your cat in a routine when it comes to feeding. To maintain a healthy weight, talk to your vet about which food is best for your cat.
5. Schedule Regular Vet Appointments
   Annual visits are key as they give the vet a chance to catch any potential health issues in the early stages.
