Caring for Your Devon Rex and Scottish Fold Kittens

At Bionsmeo Cattery, all our kittens are raised with love, care, and the highest breeding standards to ensure they grow into healthy, affectionate, and well-adjusted companions. Bringing home a kitten is a joyful experience, and proper guidance from the start will help them thrive in their new environment.

Why Structure and Routine Matter

Kittens, like all pets, adapt best when given clear boundaries and routines. From feeding times to play schedules, structure helps them feel secure and balanced. Both Devon Rex and Scottish Fold kittens are intelligent and responsive; by gently guiding them with consistency, you can nurture a confident and well-mannered cat.

Understanding Your Kitten’s Natural Instincts

Cats are naturally curious, playful, and independent. By respecting their instincts—such as climbing, scratching, and exploring—you provide an outlet for their energy while preventing unwanted behaviors. Offering scratching posts, interactive toys, and cozy resting areas helps channel their instincts in positive ways.

Start Early, Guide Gently

Training and socialization should begin as soon as your kitten arrives home. Introducing them early to household routines, litter training, and gentle handling ensures a smooth transition into adulthood. Consistency in small habits builds confidence and strengthens the bond between you and your kitten.

Balance Affection with Independence

While kittens love affection, it’s equally important to encourage independence. Over-pampering without balance may lead to clinginess or behavioral challenges. Show love through play, gentle handling, and quality time, while also allowing them space to explore and develop their natural confidence.

Feeding and Nutrition

A healthy diet is the foundation of your kitten’s growth. We recommend high-quality, breed-appropriate food rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals. Establishing a feeding routine not only supports digestion but also creates a sense of discipline. Always ensure fresh water is available, especially during warmer months when kittens can become dehydrated more easily.

Caring for Your Kitten in Hot Weather

Encourage play during cooler parts of the day.

Provide fresh, clean water at all times.

Keep rooms well-ventilated and shaded.

Offer cooling mats or safe areas for relaxation.

Never leave a kitten in a confined space with poor airflow.

Preventing Unwanted Behaviors

Behaviors like scratching furniture or excessive meowing often stem from boredom or lack of stimulation. Providing scratching posts, climbing trees, puzzle feeders, and daily playtime ensures your kitten remains mentally and physically engaged. If issues persist, consistent redirection and patience are key.

A Lifetime of Care

Raising a happy and well-adjusted cat requires patience, consistency, and understanding. By providing structure, proper nutrition, enrichment, and love, you can build a lifelong bond with your Devon Rex or Scottish Fold.

At Bionsmeo Cattery, we are dedicated to raising healthy, socialized kittens who are ready to become cherished members of your family.
