Your kitten has really smelly breath- how can this be helped?

You can give your cat a chicken neck every two weeks. This helped with our cat.

ADD:

To expand, I wholeheartedly agree that raw chicken necks or wings once a week or so greatly helps with the cat's general dental health - the chewing helps keeps the teeth clean.

Bad breath could be a sign of digestion issues, or it could be the food itself. Lower quality foods usually have a strong smell to them, or high in grains and cereals (in the form of corn, wheat and others) which cats find hard to digest (this can produce bad breath or smelly stools). Try changing to a food that is free in grains.

Another reason could be a dental issue. Sadly, gingivitis and other dental diseases are becoming increasingly common in cats. One of the signs of this is very bad breath. The only way to be sure is to go to the vet and have your cat checked out.

How do you pet a kitten?

Well, there are many ways to get a kitten, for example:

1/ Local pet shops usually have kittens for about 100-250 dollars depending on the breed of cat. My Himalayan X was $250, but I have seen pure bread ragdolls for $1000.

2/ You can go to your local animal refuge and adopt. These places are always looking for people to adopt their animals that they have rescued, so if you don't want to go through with all the litter training and stuff, you can also get a fully grown cat from animal refuges. These cats are generally about 100-150 dollars, again depending on the breed or gender. Animal refugees include: YAPS, RSPCA and many more. Type in animal refuges in google and you should find something in your region.

3/ Make a poster saying 'Wanted kitten' as the heading. Put in things like what breed you want and the price you are willing to pay. Then put your phone number on the poster and write 'call me if you have kittens for sale' and stick the poster on your local notice board. Sometimes there are breeders who are looking to sell, and sometimes people accidentally find out that their cat is pregnant and need to find a home for the kittens.

4/ Buy online via sites like trading post. This way you can scan through the website, see pictures and read discriptions until you have found the kitten for you. JUst go to www.tradingpost.com.au and in the search box type kittens, and in the drop down go to pets & horses. There are always plenty of pages of kittens needing homes.

Now I've told you a couple of ways of getting a kitten. Good luck, and I hope you find the perfect kitten for you :D
