The Many Stages of Your Kitty

Kitten
A new kitten is an active, curious and sometimes timid creature. Because a new home can be overwhelming to a kitten, it is important to immediately encourage bonding opportunities with a kitten as she transitions from her litter, to your home. Providing simple, interactive toys will bring a new or older kitten closer and allow a deep bond to be formed quickly. Petstages has thoughtfully designed products that are safe, simple and appealing to a playful kitten.

Adult Cat
Continuing to encourage a strong bond with an adult cat is essential in keeping her a dynamic member of the family. While she will often decide when to interact or play, providing interesting opportunities for interactions is critical. Adult cats are agile, active and playful at heart, and need activities available when they are alone. In addition, because cats are often fed soft foods and treats, dental health is of utmost importance to help prevent tooth loss in later years. Petstages has developed exceptional products for the adult cat that provide hours of enjoyment for owner and cat.

Senior Cat
The senior cat is a grateful companion that may spend much of the day sunning and sleeping. A senior cat has physical and emotional challenges that have begun to exhibit themselves. The senior cat will require more prompting to interact, play and participate in daily routines. In addition, she may become irritable and confused when startled or annoyed. As with adult cats, dental health continues to be important in prohibiting or delaying tooth loss. Petstages has designed thoughtful products that address the needs of the senior cat.
