How to Write a Guide for Having Cats as Pets

By eHow Pets Editor

Instructions

Step 1:
Talk about how often and how much food pet cats should receive daily. Include an estimate by weight or size, since the amount is dependent on the size of the cat. Include tips on how to find nutritionally balanced cat food.
Step 2:
Discuss litter training and the various materials that should and shouldn't be used in a litter box. Be clear in your instructions on how to clean and maintain a litter box to litter train a kitten and keep an older cat using healthy litter box habits.
Step 3:
List a schedule of visits pet cats should have with a qualified veterinarian. Cats require immunization shots and routine health care just like people. Different breeds of cats are susceptible to different diseases, so stress a routine vet check at least twice a year for any breed of cat.
Step 4:
Include information on how to keep outdoor or indoor cats healthy. Cats who routinely go outside may require extra treatment for heart worm or fleas that indoor cats may not need.
Step 5:
Talk about symptoms of illness that cat owners should watch for, and when cat owners should take their pet to the vet.
Step 6:
Organize your pet guide in a logical manner. Include fun and informative tips along with the important information pet owners need to know. Include photographs to help make your pet guide personal and attractive.
Step 7:
Check your pet guide for sentence structure, grammar and spelling before you send it to a publisher.
