least once a week. If you use clumping litter you should scoop it of debris two to
three times a week and completely change the litter once a week. 

Change your cats water at least once a day, in the summer change the water
with every meal. You should feed most cats twice a day. Most cats prefer canned
food , but you can alternate between canned and dry food for the two daily meals.
Feed your cats in the morning and in the evening this will ensure they have enough
energy supply to get them through the day.

Make your cat feel loved by providing him with his own bed and several

perch on. When purchasing a bed ensure it is large enough for your cat to move
freely about in it so they can kneed and paw it to their comfort specifications .
