Common Mistakes Cat Owners Should Avoid


Deciding to own a pet cat takes a lot of responsibility which every owner should be committed to and are obliged to undertake. Under such responsibilities, cat owners are expected to meet their cat's specific needs which would, most often than not, require a lot of time and effort. This can help keep their cats healthy.


We have to correct some common mistakes that cat owners have to avoid any misconceptions.

  • Cats are living creatures and can form bonds. They should be considered as a part of the family and not just a property.

  • One feline instinct that cats do is scratching. Declawing is not the solution to put an end to the habit of scratching. Besides, declawing is a surgical procedure that permanently removes a cat's claws. The procedure will cause significant pain to the cat. There are less painful and damaging ways to manage the scratching problem.

  • When it comes to the choice of food, quality should trump quantity. You might argue that you'd spend less on low-quality food. However, that is, in fact, a misconception since low-quality food would compromise your pet's health and it may incur more expenses with increased spending on veterinary care especially because of illnesses brought about by poor nutrition.
