<p>I just adopted this cat and so I would like to know what type it is in order to research on how to care for it.</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>lol uh y dont u take it to the vet and get it checked out, im sure they can answer your question, as can the owner im sure.</p>
<p>i doubt it will vary much from food, water, and dont declaw it or let it out of the house…
oh and giving it attention is a good idea.</p>
<p>An old cat that will probably die soon. Sorry OP.</p>
<p>I have a cat, a short-haired one like yours, and she’s fairly easy to care for. Just feed your cat dried cat food, always give it a water bowl, and be sure to buy some FrontLine Spot-On (flea spray) and apply it every month. Take your cat to the vet regularly (and post #2 was right - they’ll know more about this than I will) and, finally, good luck. :)</p>
<p>It’s the standard type most people would call DSH (Domestic Short Hair).</p>
<p>^ IBclass06 is definitely right… that is the type of cat that it is… it probably has a different more “scientific” name but thats what your vet will tell you… and about taking care of it unless it has a disease or malfunction it should be taken care of like all cats… litterbox, dry food or soft food, plenty of attention ( cats just simply demand it), a scratching post ( or it will use your furniture), DON’T DECLAW, plenty of toys and room for exercise and if it seems lonely get another cat… from past experience two cats are more fun than one!</p>
<p>and dont declaw it or let it out of the house…</p>
<p>why wouldn’t you let your cat out of the house? Cats <em>crave</em> the outdoors and if you keep them locked up inside all day they will go crazy.
Cats aren’t like dogs and know how to get back home after rendezvousing for several hours. If you’re worried about diseases, give it its shots and it’ll be fine.</p>
<p>one word: coyotes ^</p>
<p>they get eaten. even in suburban san diego lol.</p>
<p>we had to sign a contract from the humane society when we got our cat that said we wouldnt declaw it or let it out of the house. weve had a dog, so itz kind of weird to us, but they told us that as long as you dont let them out, the cat never knows watz out there technically. </p>
<p>we only let our german shepard in the backyard (big), or out with us. she was naturally inclined to protect the house/us anyways, not go and explore. itz probly not a good idea for a big dog to be out on its own without a leash/owner anyways…</p>
