Sandy....What a beautiful and darling kitten and I love his name!! I am so "jealous," if you
know what I mean. :-) I agree with the "new Dad." Keep Zoko INSIDE....he will live much longer
and be healthier. From a kitten, you can train them to a leash just like a dog. But be sure
to use an H-harness or figure of 8 harness...NOT a round collar. A round collar they can get out of
very easily or choke to death. The other two harnesses are much safer and you can control the
cat better, especially when they are learning to be leash led. While I'm on advice, tell
daughter to get Zoko started on moist food if he is just getting only dry food. Adding moist food
to the diet is paramount to keeping cats hydrated enough. Continual dry food throws them into
a state of dehydration and will destroy their kidneys. For the most part, renal/kidney failure
is very common in cats but can be prevented with daily increased water consumption. Cats will
get more water in the moist food in a day than they will drink from a bowl in a day...believe it or not!!
The electric water fountains are wonderful for cats. It increases their water consumption because
cats love fresh running water.
Keep us up-to-date on Zoko!!!!
