Cat Baskets

Anyone who loves their pet cat will tell you that nothing is too good for their four-legged friend. Those of us who adore felines know that when you take care of your kitten it will give you tons of love back in return. One way to dote on your cat is to purchase items made just for them. Perhaps a leather collar with gold studs is in order, or maybe one of the beautiful wicker cat baskets that are available. Giving your cat a gift is always a good idea, because it makes you both feel wonderful.

The best place to look for presents for your cat is at the local pet store. This is probably a place you are already very familiar with. Many cat lovers frequent these stores to pick up their cat’s food, their vitamins and also a toy or two every now and again. A well-stocked pet store is sure to have a nice selection of cat baskets, allowing you to choose the one that is best suited for your furry family member.

It’s important to pick one that is of adequate size. One mistake that both dog and cat owners make is to buy the smallest basket thinking their pet will find it comfortable. If your cat is small this might be the right size basket. However if it’s a bit on the chunky side, which many cats are as they age, consider looking at the medium size cat baskets.

You know how much cats love to claw and chew on things, so be certain that the one you choose is well-made. One drawback of the more inexpensive types of baskets for cats is that they fall apart fairly easily. This means that if your cat is overly aggressive with their clawing, the basket might be destroyed in no time flat.

Most come with a pad already to go. You probably want to add an extra layer of softness by laying a blanket in the basket. It’s not a good idea to use one that has been washed with a fragrant laundry detergent or fabric softener as this can irritate the cat’s skin. Instead look at the blankets that are for sale at the pet store. These are usually all ready to be used and fit ideally in the cat baskets.

Pick a spot for the basket that is close to where you spend most of your time. Some people find it easier to put the basket near their bed as this helps encourage the cat to sleep in their own little basket instead of on your pillow. If you find the cat sleeps in more than one spot, consider getting two cat baskets. One for the bedroom and you can put the other in a room where you are often found. This way, your cat will always have a place to curl up and rest close to you.

This happened to me when I went out and picked up a cat for adoption. I had been very lonely and my friend suggested that I get a pet. He pointed me to a recent medical study that suggested that pet owners live longer, healthier lives than other people. I am usually pretty skeptical about that kind of claim, but it seemed worth taking a look at. The science looked solid, after all, so I thought I'd give it a try.

When I got to the animal shelter, however, I was initially disappointed. Every cat for adoption seems to be the wrong pet for me. Some of them were moody, angry, or depressed. Other ones seem to be in very bad physical health. No matter which way I looked, I could not find a cat for adoption. In fact, it took me months to find the perfect cat for adoption.
