Many cat owners are very passive and say, I just fed the stray cats, and somehow I got a new master in the house. Yes, the charm of cat stars is unstoppable!

But for those who adopt stray cats and those who plan to raise cats, are you ready?

How to spend the new cat-raising period calmly and gracefully without getting confused? Let me tell you!

Five tips for new cat owners to help you get through the confusion.

1. Can cats drink milk?

Many novice cat owners raise very young cats. According to our usual thinking, babies should drink milk! If you don’t have breast milk, just drink milk! But for cats, drinking milk is not a good thing. In fact, this is because most cats are lactose intolerant. Drinking milk will cause gastrointestinal discomfort, vomiting or diarrhea. Kittens that are teething can try feeding cat food directly, and babies and cats without teeth can be given goat milk powder or pet milk powder.

2. Why is my cat a "cat who destroys the house"

It is a cat's instinct to like to scratch. It has bad habits of destruction. These bad habits often cause trouble for novice poop scrapers. Cats are very sensitive animals. Changes in the surrounding environment, changes in work and rest schedules, new pets or people visiting, and even the owner's emotions will be detected by the cat, causing it to cause damage and vent its depressed mood. If it is caused by environmental factors, you need to give the cat time to adapt. After the anxiety period is over, the cat will return to calmness.

3. Should cats be neutered? When is the best time to sterilize?

If your cat has been meowing, losing appetite, and becoming irritable recently, it means that your cat is in heat. This behavior will last for about two weeks. The best way to solve this problem is to neuter the cat. Some cat owners may feel that depriving their cats of their parental rights is a very unethical thing to do. But neutering can actually improve cats' behavior, reduce the number of stray cats, and reduce cats' reproductive organ diseases.

It is best for cats to have surgery when they are 5 to 6 months old. Neutering will not affect the development of cats. However, it is worth noting that after sterilization, cats’ weight will soar. Caregivers must be careful not to make cats excessively obese.

4.Do cats need to cut their nails?

The answer is yes. If your cat’s nails are not cut for a long time, the nails will bend and grow into the flesh. However, it is not recommended to cut them too short. Cats need to be trained to cut their nails from an early age, and only once a month is enough. When trimming, you only need to cut off the transparent part of the front end. In the early stage, the cat may not adapt and resist trimming. The cat can be tempted with food and toys, but must not be forced, which will make him resist.

5. Does the cat need a bath?

Generally speaking, cats have the ability to clean themselves. You will find that cats spend a large part of the day licking their own hair, which is why they are cleaning themselves. However, even so, cats may develop fleas, so you can bathe your cat appropriately, but not too frequently, just once every few months. If the cat is particularly resistant to water baths, you can buy dry cleaning powder for bathing the cat, which can also be cleaned. It is worth noting that you must clean your cat’s ears regularly. Cat’s ears will produce ear mites, and uncleaning them will affect the cat’s health.
