Pet Haven

What could be better than one kitty?  Why two kitties of course!  Whereas you probably wouldn’t even consider the possibility of buying two puppies at the same time, buying your kittens in pairs isn’t such a bad idea.  They’re tiny, they don’t eat much, or take up much space, and they won’t grow to a very large size.  As cats are territorial, if you think that it’s possible that in the future you would like to have more than one cat, the best time to bring a second cat into your home is at the same time you bring in the first!  This way, they both arrive on the same time and neither of them has territorial rights.  They will probably have a power struggle but depending on their individual personalities the power is likely to shift between them as the years go by.

The most expensive thing about buying your kittens by the pair is the medical bills.  The initial injections plus spaying is going to set you back a fair bit, but if you can budget a little in advance for this, it’ll help when the time comes to buy the kittens and start the necessary first veterinary clinic visits.  Although there’s a time frame when it’s best to have your cats spayed, if you have both male and female, you can’t afford to leave it too long or you may end up with more than 2 felines on your sofa!  When your kittens have their first check-up at the veterinary clinic, which ought to be within a few days of you bringing the kitten home, consult with your veterinary about when you should spay the queen.  It’s also possible that the person you bought the kittens from has their gender wrong and so the veterinary will also be able to confirm whether or not you have what you thought you had!

Aside from this initial expense, two kittens will be twice as entertaining to watch, and they will also amuse each other as well as stop each other from being lonely.  They will grow together and although they will still get into mischief, they are more likely to chase each other around than they are to destroy furniture out of boredom.

Most dog owners have no other choice but to leave their dogs at home while they go out to earn a living.

In order to prevent separation anxiety, you should make the first time a nice experience for him. First: don’t draw extra attention to your leaving. Make sure your dog is in a calm state of mind before you leave, without talking or even looking at him.

This might sound harsh and cold hearted; consider the reason why you need to say good bye to him is to make yourself feel less guilty. You could start saying good bye earlier if it still makes you uncomfortable.

Make sure your dog had at least a half an hour physical exercise and a walk before you go to drain his energy. Do not permit whining or howling. Wait a few minutes after you closed the door. Practice patience.

When you get back home from work, do not allow your dog to get excited. Do not shower him with affection, but go about your business. Then take him out for a walk and then feed him. Now you can give him all the love and affection you want!
