Cats

Some people think cats reflect their owners' personality; they can be friendly and very much their own boss. Cats need your love and guidance to live long and healthy lives. Activities in this project will help you learn nutritional aspects of a cat's diet, health needs, practicing responsible ownership, as well as teaching your cat the "Rules of the House."
