When you bring home your new kitten he will spend some time exploring his new surroundings including where the cat litter is situated.

Most kittens are toilet trained when they leave their mother cat, however to train your new kitten to understand what you expect of her you have to see the world from his or her eyes.

Cats have their own characteristics which will show in her behaviour just how she is thinking.

One of the main differences between a cat and a dog is that cats do not follow a pack leader they just love to please themselves.

At a kitten stage of a cats life, is the time when it is the easiest to train your pet.

Diet plays an important part of your new kitten’s life as she will require quality cat food specially prepared for kittens.

Quality ingredients enriched with vital mineral and vitamins in cat food are an essential part of daily life for a growing kitten and their healthcare.

Cooking for your kitten is not as easy as cooking for your family as they have different nutritional requirements.

A kitten fed on an imbalanced pet diet may lead to a lower level of calcium and phosphorus to retain a healthy metabolism.

Taurine is another important part of a kitten (and adult cats) diet, too little could result in an eye or heart problem.

A pet diet that consists of raw meat even on odd occasions is not god for your kitten, however that does not mean you have not give your pet any treats at all.

Feeding your kitten at regular times will help to establish an eating routine, monitoring its portions of cat food as she continues to grow quickly into an adult cat.

At Hill Pets we suggest evaluating your kitten’s pet diet along with the help of our growth tracker.
