Bringing home your new cat:
The Ride Home
Transportation can be traumatic for cats. Your cat or kitten should be confined to a carrier during the ride home as well as during subsequent trips to the veterinarian. Do not let your new cat loose in a moving car or allow children to excite him. Do not leave the cat unattended in the car or stop to visit friends, shop, etc. On a hot day the cat may be overcome by heat exhaustion. Keep your cat in his carrier until you are safely inside your home. EXPECT BEHAVIOR PROBLEMS: Your cat had a whole other set of rules in his previous home. He may have been allowed to sleep in bed and beg at the table. IT'S UP TO YOU TO TEACH HIM YOUR RULES. Teaching proper behavior takes time and patience. If you need help, call our Behavior Helpline at (954) 266-6851 |
