April means the beginning of Spring, which means lots of new kittens and puppies coming into this world that will need a good home. If your thinking about adopting a new kitten or puppy, be sure to check out my list for items your new baby will need when you bring them home on my website. Don't forget heartworm medication and a flea/tick product, if they are going to be outside. Be sure to check with your vet about the appropriate product for your pet, based on whether you have a cat or dog, and the size of the baby, as well.
I noticed in the new issue of Dog Fancy, that there is a new Drinkwell fountain on the market, specially designed for cats and small to medium-sized dogs - the Drinkwell 360. This fountain has five spouts that provide downflow into the circular reservoir. That way your baby could drink from any side of the fountain. I'm thinking about trying one for TC (Topcat), as he loves his original Drinkwell fountain, and especially likes to drink from the spout, rather than the reservoir. I'll let you know, if he likes it.
One happy cat (or dog) idea for Springtime is opening the windows to let some fresh air in the house, after being closed up for so long in the winter. This is especially true in colder parts of the country, such as here in Zion, Illinois. My two babies love to sit by the open windows, with the screens in place, and watch the birds and other activities going on in their neighborhood, feel the breeze on their faces, and breath in some fresh air. Occasionaly, I will let them out on the balcony/deck (second level) off the kitchen to explore the small 4' x 10' space, just so they can soak up some sunshine. However, I always supervise the cats, just in case they are thinking about jumping from the balcony to the ground level, and I am always watching over them, even if I'm sitting at the kitchen table only 2' away. As both of my babies are 13 years old, they are not as adventuresome as they use to be , and I don't think they would actually jump, but if you have an excited kitten or puppy, they just might try it. Be sure to put some type of mesh along the inside of the railing, so that they don't have an easy time getting through the slates. If you are planning on letting your dog or cat be outside for long, I saw on Animal Planet the other day, that dogs need sunscreen so they don't get sunburned. Again, you might want to check with your vet about that idea, and what products are best for your pet. I wouldn't want to put some products on my babies, as cats tend to bath themselves all the time, and I wouldn't want them to ingest any harmful ingredients.
