If this looks like a house, that is because it is.
Our
cattery is our home.
In our cattery, our cats are hand
raised which means they are raised in our home as part of our family, any
catteries cage their cats or put them in separate quarters away from
people. This close association with people at an early age, makes for a
better pet. From birth, our kittens think of people as part of their cat family and as a result they are very people-loving
and affectionate.
|
Our kittens are carefully
exposed to household hazards so the can learn what is safe and what
is not, such as fireplaces, stoves and stair railings.
We also start training them on
the kinds of things that are safe but that you would rather they
left alone, such as kitchen counters and tabletops.

Our Mom cats usually teach the
kittens to eat dry cat food but we carefully supervise weaning so no
kitten gets weaned before it is able to eat a adequate diet on its
own. We also use a variety of kitty litters so they learn to use
more than one kind.

| There are a lot of things for a kitten to learn
about in a house such as stairs, a great place to play, and
doorways, great places to explore, and about people, a great place
to nap. |

These two are looking for trouble. |

I get a lot of help doing things from the cats.
They gave
me plenty of input as I was constructing this web page. One is
always checking my work from on top of the monitor or on the mouse pad.
I think they like to see themselves on the monitor.
