The physical responsibilities are to provide clean and healthy food and water, a clean place to use the restroom (typically a litterbox that is cleaned daily) and mental stimulation such as toys and scratching posts. You are also responsible for veterinary care, which typically consists of spaying/neutering, annual vaccinations and annual well-cat visits to the veterinarian.
Depending upon the cat, you may also need to physically spend time with them daily - some cats are very people-oriented and need to be petted and loved to be happy. Other cats prefer to know that you are around but don't want as much direct interaction.
It teaches you responsibility and many more lessons on owning a pet.
Oh, dude, having a pet totally improves your responsibility level. Like, you have to feed it, walk it, clean up after it - it's like having a tiny, furry roommate that depends on you for everything. So yeah, if you can handle keeping a living creature alive, you're probably at least a little more responsible.
Having a pet can bring companionship, reduce stress, and increase physical activity due to the care and attention they require. Pets can also provide emotional support and improve mental health by fostering a sense of purpose and routine in their owners' lives.
Honestly I am not sure but if they want to teach kids the responsibility of having a pet then you shouldn't have to be 13
You don't. Instead, you tell them you have an animal that you need to return because having a pet is a huge responsibility, and getting one without permission is extremely irresponsible.
The advantages of having a pet tracking device is having control of your pet's whereabouts. Especially if your pet is a wanderer. You can purchase these at your local electronic or pet store.
any pet to keep is a huge responsibility but if you want your first pet u should get a fish
A child doesn't really need a pet but it is something that they want and it will excite them and teach them responsibility and will have a little friend to laugh with or teach something and it would bring a lot of joy to the child.
As a pet, it is illegal to experiment on them. It is your responsibility as a pet owner to take care of your pet and experimenting on them means putting the health of your pet at risk.
No necessarily. It is still the parents' job to teach responsibility by letting the child totally care for the pet (As practical) and never 'give in' and start taking the responsibility away from her because it is easier. If she will not care for the pet (as soon as the new-ness wears off . . . ), then you should have plans to adopt the pet out, if it's that sort of pet.
Pets have been long thought by child developers as helping children have increased abilities to cope with emotional situations in their lives. But pets also help with children having responsibility and other maturation.
Yes as it gives the children some responsibility plus a family pet makes an excellent playmate for children. When considering what type of pet to get, please take into consideration how much responsibility and maintenance the pet you choose will be and also what your lifestyle is like in regards to how much time you can spend training, playing with, etc. your pet.
