Cat Care Guide
Expert advice on cat nutrition, grooming, and essentials. Whether you're adopting a new cat or kitten, our comprehensive guide has everything you need to keep your feline friend healthy and happy.
Introducing Your Cat to your home
Take Your Time
Introduce your new cat to a smaller area before exploring the entire house. Allow them time to adjust and don't rush them, as they may be hesitant to leave their carrier.
Creating a safe place
Cat Proofing Your Home
To keep your cat safe, secure power cables and blind cords out of the way. Cats love to explore and can easily get tangled up, so it's important to take precautions.
Choosing the right cat food
Investing in quality cat food is crucial for your pet's health, providing essential nutrients for energy, strong bones, and healthy skin and coat. Feeding your cat twice a day helps regulate blood sugar and build a bond with your pet. At Pet Supermarket, you can find premium, natural, and holistic cat food brands to provide your feline friend with the very best nutrition. Our wide variety of food options ensures that you'll find the perfect fit for your cat's unique needs and preferences.
We Recommend
Food & Water Bowls
Provide two bowls for your cat - one for water and one for food. Fresh water should be available at all times to prevent dehydration. A fountain bowl may encourage your cat to drink more and keep the water clean.
Cat Beds
A comfortable bed provides your new cat with warmth and security. Cats spend an average of 15 hours per day sleeping. Consider getting a fully washable bed or one with a washable or removable cover.
Litter Box Essentials
Cats can be particular about their litter. We offer a variety of cat litter options including clay litter, clumping litter, crystal litter, and eco-friendly litter. Ask what your cat is currently using or offer a few choices in a litter box to determine their preference. This will prevent them from finding their own place to go.
We Recommend
Size & location
When selecting a litter box, keep in mind your cat's size and your available space. Place the litter box in a private area away from their food and water.
Shape & style
For privacy and to prevent mess and odors, consider a hooded litter box, a disposable pan, or a litter pan with high sides.
Cleaning & scooping
Litter boxes should be cleaned daily and fully changed once a week. For easy cleaning, use sifting litter pans, automatic litter boxes, or drawstring litter liners.
Cat Treats
Introduce new tastes and ingredients to your cat with treats that can also be used for training, behavior reinforcement, hairball relief, fresh breath, and joint health. Shop our wide range of tasty options.
Flea & Tick Solutions for Cats
It’s important to choose the right preventative or treatment solution for your new pet. Many products are specific to the weight of your cat. Ask which option(s) will work best for you. Please be sure to follow the manufacturer’s treatment instructions.
Dental Care for Your Cat
Dental hygiene is often overlooked as up to 80% of pets show signs of issues by age 3. We offer dental treats, toys, water additives and more to help you stay ahead of potential problems.
Cat Supplements
Pet Supermarket offers various options for cats including digestive support and anxiety relief.
Cat Grooming
While cats naturally spend much of their day self-grooming, sometimes they can use a helping hand. Grab grooming essentials like cat shampoo, brushes, and nail clippers.
Towers
As your kitten ages, cat furniture and towers provide a secure place to relax and play. We offer a wide selection of options to keep your cat entertained.
Scratch Posts
Redirect your cat's scratching tendencies with a scratching post or scratchers. We offer a variety of options to meet their playful instincts.
Toys
Toys help you bond with your cat and keep them active. Mice and feather teaser toys encourage natural instincts and interactive toys for mental stimulation.
Catnip
Catnip can make cats playful when smelled, but sleepy when eaten. Cats reaction to catnip usually develops between 3-6 months of age. Catnip is available in treats and toys.
