A bit about the breed

This breed can not be compared to anything. They are called in the people of teddy bears. And this is not surprising, since after communicating with them you get a lot of positive emotions. Once having picked up this beauty, he will never want to let go of it.

It should be noted that the British breed of cats is quite a long way of development. It was brought from Rome to Britain about two thousand years ago. However, at that time the breed was different from the one we now know.

In the 19th century the breed was selected, and it was called the British breed. However, this is not the last crossing. The painstaking work of the breeders led to the emergence of such unpretentious, graceful and beautiful British kittens. Care and education for them should be special, in addition, you will need special accessories for your pet.

British kittens: care and education at the initial stage

The main points to which you should accustom your kitten:

• Patiently endure bathing, clipping hair and blow drying;
• Walk into the tray;
• To sharpen a marigold is not about a carpet, but about a special device.

The upbringing and care of a British kitten is not such a difficult task, however, at first it will still take some effort.

Teach your child to walk in the tray, in principle, should have been mom herself. In most cases this occurs between the ages of 3 and 5 weeks. Therefore, the baby should be accustomed to this procedure before moving to your house. After moving, watch him, especially after feeding. When the kitten starts to sniff something on the floor, "put it" in the tray. Do this several times, and he will remember it. If the problem persists, you should change the tray to a larger one.

The most unloved procedure for cats is bathing and shearing claws. However, they can not escape from this. The sooner you start, the faster the kitten will get used to it.

All pets are finicky and stubborn, including British kittens. Care and education for them implies the weaning of the kitten from bad habits. Ironically, animals understand intonation. If the kitten starts to climb on the curtain, then just say strictly "not". You need to look into his eyes, you can even threaten your finger. Remember that the prohibition should not apply to everything the kid does.

Training

Many mistakenly believe that the training of cats is fiction. Everyone knows that these animals are very proud and independent, but they can be taught several tricks.

Education and training of British kittens include some key points:

• You can not force a kitten to do something under compulsion. Achieving the desired can only be due to patience, praise and with compulsory remuneration. It is best to start training from 6-8 months. Carefully observe your pet and determine what is best for him. It can be, for example, wearing your toys in the teeth.
• The cat will fulfill the requirements only if he loves a person and trusts him. The use of force is strictly forbidden, only weasel and delicacy as an encouragement.
• Pronounce the command every time the cat performs a certain action.
• Bait is also an effective way of training. Kitty will do anything for a piece of meat, so use it! Start with a simple: jumping from one chair to another.
• Teach your cat the command "To me!". Say it kindly and fun.

The main thing - do not overdo it, otherwise the kitten will refuse to perform any commands.

British kittens: care, feeding your pet

Ears of a kitten require special care. As they accumulate sulfur in them, they must be wiped with cotton wool soaked in peroxide with 3%. Be careful if the kitten starts shaking his head and scratching his ears, immediately consult a doctor.

Daily wipe eyes with water or a weak solution of furacilin. If the baby has a strong lacrimation, then use a drop of penicillin or levomycitin.

By their nature, all cats are predators, and British kittens are no exception. Care for the British is not only to provide the kitten with everything necessary, but also in the proper feeding.

The basis of their diet is meat. It is not recommended to accustom a kitten to its food, as it is very harmful.

A small pet has an excellent appetite, so feed it often. Do not be afraid that he will change, the probability of this is minimal. It is important to supplement the diet with minerals and vitamins. The temperature of the food should be at room temperature.

It is recommended to feed a small pet with ground beef, but it should be given beforehand with boiling water. Chicken can also be given, but only in boiled form and diluted with broth. If you can give beef daily, then chicken, only 3 times a week.

Advice

• Respect their right to the territory.
• All animals need to be loved in the same way and not to single out one of them.
• Bowls for water and food should be different and always clean.

That's the whole secret of caring for a British kitten.
