French Stories For All

Retraite en France: Comment ça marche? - Capitalisation vs Répartition -

Hi, and welcome back to All About Cats! In today’s episode, we’ll be diving into everything you need to know about bringing home a new kitten. Whether you already have a cat or you’re thinking of getting one, this episode will guide you through the essentials of kitten care, adoption, and setting up your home for your furry friend. Let’s get started!
How to preparing for a New Kitten Bringing a kitten home is exciting, but preparation is key! Here are some crucial steps to take before your new kitten arrives:
•	Set up a designated space: Choose a quiet room with a litter box, food and water bowls, a cozy bed, and some toys.
•	Kitten-proof your home: Remove toxic plants, small objects, and anything dangerous a curious kitten might chew on or swallow.
•	Find a veterinarian: Schedule an initial checkup to ensure your kitten is healthy and up to date on vaccinations.
•	Gentle handling and socialization: Spend time bonding with your kitten and introduce them slowly to new experiences, people, and sounds.
Adoption vs. Buying a Kitten When deciding whether to adopt or buy a kitten, adoption has many benefits:
•	Saves a life: Many cats in shelters need loving homes.
•	Cost-effective: Adoption fees are often lower than breeder prices and usually include vaccinations.
•	Reduces overpopulation: Adopting helps create space for other homeless animals.
Of course, there are some challenges with adopting strays. They may have health issues, as I experienced with my own kittens, Maggie, Nikko, and Lily. Maggie unfortunately didn’t survive due to a virus, and Nikko has neurological issues, but Lily is thriving. Despite the challenges, adoption is incredibly rewarding!

Thanks, joining me. Until next time, keep your whiskers twitching and your tails high! Bye

Bringing Home A New Kitten

Welcome back to All About Cats! If you love cats, this is important information for you. Today I will talk about the Feline Panleukopenia Virus (FPV), also called feline distemper or feline Parvo. This virus is very dangerous for cats, especially kittens. I will explain what it is, the symptoms, treatment, how to prevent it and my journey through this horrible virus.  Feline Panleukopenia Virus is a very contagious disease caused by a parvovirus. It attacks a cat’s intestines, immune system, and bone marrow. It spreads quickly, especially in shelters and places with many cats.
How do cats can catch FPV?
•	From an infected cat’s saliva, urine, or poop
•	Through shared food bowls, litter boxes, or bedding
•	From humans who touch an infected cat and then touch another cat
•	From fleas that carry the virus
•	Or From a mother cat to her kittens before birth
The early signs of FPV in Kittens & Cats 
•	High fever
•	Loss of appetite and
•	Lethargy ( or very tired and weak)
🚨 Severe symptoms include:
•	Vomiting
•	Diarrhea which is (sometimes bloody)
•	Dehydration

Treatment & Care Options
There is no cure for FPV, but sick kittens need supportive care
