GOT QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR KITTEN'S GROWTH?
FAQs
-
How do I train a kitten to use the litter box?
Litterbox training can sound like a daunting task, but thankfully your kitten’s natural instinct comes into play when starting this process. First, make sure the litterbox is easily accessible for your kitten and the box is clean. Bring your kitten to the box and start to scratch the litter to get your kitten’s attention. When they use the box successfully, make sure to give them praise and reward. Learn more about How to Litter-box Train Your Cat.
We have a cat at home, and I am excited to introduce them to our new kitten, where should I start?
Cats are great, and we know how exciting it is to add another one to your family. However, your current cat may not share the same excitement when accepting a new family member. It is crucial to take your time and ensure the introduction is handled with care so that both cats feel comfortable and have minimal stress. For additional information, check out our Tips to Introduce a New Cat to help ease their first meeting.
Should I be concerned leaving my kitten home alone?
It can be stressful for you and your kitten when you are not there. However, by providing enrichment opportunities like games and entertainment, you can leave the home with peace of mind. There is an assortment of cat puzzles toys that hide food or treats that help keep cats stimulated. Or another simple solution is opening the window blinds to a high activity area (ex. birds, pedestrians, etc.) so they can watch and observe the outdoor world. Learn How to Create an Enriching Environment for Your Kitten.
The Kitten food selection at the pet store is overwhelming. What are some of the key nutrients I should look for?
The IAMS™ brand wants you to have all the facts so that you are informed and empowered to make nutrition decisions. For kittens and cats, look for Taurine and Docosahexaenoic acid (aka “DHA”) in their food. These are essential nutrients needed for healthy development such as, normal heart muscle function and vision. That why IAMS™ kitten food is formulated with high quality protein that contains sources of taurine and DHA. Check out the IAMS™ Food Selector to find the right nutrition for your kitten.
I just brought home a new kitten; how do I transition them to a new food?
First, congratulations on your new furry addition! Secondly, there’s no one-size-fits-all for choosing the right food since all cats differ in breed, size, lifestyle, age, health conditions and so on. One easy way to learn more about you kitten’s nutrition needs is to DNA test with a WISDOM PANEL™ test kit. Once you learn more about their breed breakout, the IAMS™ Food Selectorcan help you determine the appropriate nutrition choices. Learn More at IAMSandWisdomPanel.com.
