Abstract
As demographics of society change, with more and more people living in busy single-person households, cats appear to be the ideal pet: small, clean, low care and clean as well. However, although cats may appear to be ‘lower maintenance’ than dogs, they are not a ‘no-care’ pet. This chapter looks at prevention of problems, kitten socialization and training, kitten problem behaviours, introducing a new kitten.
