My Adult Cat
Vaccination Schedule
Cat Mouths
To keep your cat's paws healthy and get them used getting their nails trimmed
we recommend you touch and play with your cat paws.  Trimming their nails on
a regular basis makes the procedure less stressful and it becomes a routine
rather than a bad experience or a fearful situation.
It is a good idea to open your cat's mouth and look and touch their teeth and
gums.  By doing this your cat gets familiar to this idea. In cases when you need
to give medications or want to take something from your cat that does not
belong in their mouth a much easier process.  As your cat gets older and
matures he or she will be used to you opening their mouth and medicating is
less likely to be a problem.
Scratching
Cats need something to scratch, this is an instinctive behavior.  Get your cat a
scratching post.  This will provide something to scratch rather than your
furniture.   
Nail Trimming
Grooming
It is a good idea to brush out your cat regularly.  By doing this you free up loose
hair that would normally be swallowed by your cat as it grooms itself. This will
help minimize hairballs and prevent matting.  Plus your cat will have a nice and
shinny coat.
Deworming Schedule
We recommend your cat should be tested for parasites yearly and or
dewormed every 6 months. You may see no signs of a parasite infestation.   
Andrews Veterinary has established a vaccination protocol to properly protect
your adult cat from preventable diseases. Adult cats should have annual check-
ups. We recommend  vaccinations, fecal tests, and dental check-ups  should be
preformed during this exam;

It is a good idea to clean your cats ears at least once a month.  One of the most
common office visits for cats is ear problems including ear mites.  Using an
approved veterinary  ear cleaner will help keep their ears from getting
infections, wax build up, and ear mites.
