Raising cats and kittens is not difficult if you have the right information.
Check out the following articles that cover everything from training
and nutrition to dealing with kitten behavior.
How Long Do Cats Live
A healthy, strong American shorthair cat can love about 20 years. Not all cats will make the dual decade mark. Diet, exercise, whether the cat lives inside, outside, or a combination of both, physical attentiveness, and heredity all play a role in the life expectancy of just about any cat.

Buying Cat Supplies
The basics for any living creature after shelter is food and water.

Hairballs and Cats
The signs of hairballs can vary in severity depending on the cat and degree of blockage. Early signs can include a poor appetite, depression and lethargy. A dry cough and frequent retching, especially after meals, as well as small spots of yellow bile on the floor or carpet, are evidence of unsuccessful attempts to void the hairball.

Plants that are Toxic to Cats
Some kitties can end up playing endlessly with plants on the dangerous list for a lifetime. In fact, there was a time that most people really had no awareness of potential dangers looming in the garden or on the window sill.

Cat Vomiting
Most cases of acute vomiting (i.e. the vomiting has been present for less than 2-3 days) resolve readily with simple treatment without the underlying cause being diagnosed. Severe or chronic vomiting is more serious. It can lead to secondary problems, particularly dehydration and disturbances in the levels of electrolytes, especially sodium. It is important to investigate such cases to identify the underlying cause to provide effective treatment.
