The main purpose of the cat - meow is playing, rub on the legs fold up, pull the tail pipe, and sometimes catch mice, so the cat porodistost not really matter. Pick of the beast, which you pretty. Although purebred cats has its advantages, chief among them - predictability. Traits have fixed genetically. Want a home therapist, buy a Persian cat. Allergies to wool? Abyssinian cat suit, almost naked. If the child asks for a brother or sister, give him burmese, who walks his master like a dog, and never scratched. On cold winter evenings, there is no better warmer than the Siberian cat. But the breed, known for aggressive character (Siamese), the child is better not to buy, but even the most good-natured cat can straighten nails, if it bring. Feline aggression, there are three most common causes: the game, fear and defense. Game - it is when the child is quietly engaged in their own affairs, and the cat wants to jump over the bow. Fear - is when the cat does not like strange smell. And the defense - this is when the baby is persistently trying to turn a cat into a horse, harnessed it to a cart, and the cat a few hours of patient waiting begins to defend. By the way, the wounds from the cat's claws do not heal for a long time, because in the claws of a cat is annoying enzyme.
Special mention should be wary of cat litter. Option: kitten itself will mark a place in the toilet is not appropriate, especially when the apartment a little child. To as cat litter is not used master's shoes, slippers and toy, better get a special plastic container, which will be out of reach for the child site (for example, in the bathroom or on the balcony). Modern cat litter allow virtually avoid the smell, but they have one major drawback - the first time the cat found his toilet by the smell. And if the smell will not be a cat suit yourself a new toilet somewhere in a secluded place. So while accustom a small kitten to a toilet, it is best not to abuse all sorts of fillings. Completely avoid the smell of cat is impossible, because it did not smell of urine or feces, and hormones that the animal sprinkles left and right, delineating a zone of its vital interests. If you walk the cat, it is advisable to accustom him to a leash, not to run him in the yards, and do not remove it from the trees.
feathered friends
All domestic birds can be divided into two groups - talking and singing. There is a third group, whose members do not speak or sing, but only at times reluctant to chirp. If a child is dreaming of a talking bird, buy him a talking parrot. Fans of nightingales trills like a canary or a canary. Incidentally, among the most songbirds sing only males, and the price is therefore higher than in females. Chick distinguish male from female is very difficult to the layman, so before you pay, wait until the bird sings. Well, if you care about the presence of the bird itself and need only a rare twittering, look for budgies - they are quite attractive, unpretentious in the care and good treatment can live more than 20 years. But even talking parrot is not to talk ill-treatment and nutrition, and songbird - sing.
Feathered need bright room, with a constant temperature of about 20 degrees, fresh air (but no draft!), Good food, and water. Tap water is not suitable for birds, as It contains too much chlorine. It is desirable to provide a clean birds bottled or filtered water, and water from the tap must be pursued to chloro evaporated. And, of course, it needs a large feathered cell (preferably all-metal steel wire) so that the bird can fly from a perch and the perch to spread wings. Approximately once a year, the cage should be thoroughly cleaned with a disinfectant solution. Do not let your baby feed feathered other mouth and kissing his beak: some diseases (e.g., tuberculosis) are common to humans and birds.
