1. Care for Pet at Least Four MonthsPresent evidence that you have cared for a pet for four months.
Below are the activities required for caring for our three cats, Hudson, Hazel, and Rosie. I split these duties with my little brother and parents. We adopted the cats in the Summer of 2020 and we have operated on the schedule below:
Special Project - House for outside cat, CloudMy grandmother has an outdoor cat at her house. My friend, Jacob and I decided to make a shelter for the cat so she would be more comfortable through the winter. We found a project online that creates an insulated house to keep outside pets warm.
Project build supplies:
Project cost: $25 Jacob and I met together on Jan 14, 2021 to build the project. We spent 3 hours planning and building the house. We delivered the final product to my grandmother's house on Jan 16, right before the big snow storm! 2. Essay About CareWrite in 200 words of more about the care, feeding, and housing of your pet. Tell some interesting facts about it. Tell why you have this kind of pet. Give local laws, if any, relating to the pet you keep.
Having a pet is a BIG responsibility and pets need food, water and shelter to survive. In the Hendrick household we all take care of our adorable fuzzy cats. We give them daily items so they can stay healthy and strong! We must give them their wet cat food in the mornings and the afternoons and crunchy food daily. Cats must also have water, or they will grow thirsty, so we provide water in their water dish and fountain. Cats are both big players and nappers, and would be best to give them toys, beds and your attention. Not all cats have the best behavior. Our family teaches our cats that naughty behavior is UNACCEPTABLE in this house and will be squirt with water if they are being bad. Not just cats, but ALL animals must be taken to the vet once a year to get vaccinations. They may also get medications for pesky parasites such as fleas and ticks. Cleaning your cat’s cat box maybe the WORST, but your fuzzy feline friend will appreciate it (it will also help to clean it, so your house does not smell like cat droppings). Pets may be a HUGE responsibility, but you can give an amazing animal a wonderful home! 😊 Interesting Facts About Our Animals

I learned that newly adopted cat must be trained to use a litter box the way we want them to. I learned there are many litter types, but the proper type for our cats would be clay that clumps and has odor elimination. I learned that I should check and clean the litter box daily. The placement of the litter box is also important; the box should be located far away from the water and food sources. I learned that when training your cat the should not be punished for elimination mistakes. Source: Visual-Guide-to-Cat-Body-Language-FINAL.pdf (alleycat.org) 4. Pet TricksDo ONE of the following:
