Detailed explanation, what preparations should be made for raising a cat?
When talking about worry-free things, one of the major advantages of raising cats is that you don’t need to go out to walk your cat regularly. When raising dogs, we often need to take them out for walks regularly, which is not only for the physical and mental health of the dogs, but also helps them solve their physiological needs. Cats are different. They tend to move freely at home and enjoy the time of being alone, so we don’t need to arrange time to walk their cats specifically, we just need to provide them with a comfortable and safe living environment.
1, no need to walk. Walking the dog is for its health, and it can solve the problem of urination and defecation. The cat doesn't need to walk, it will feel comfortable if it stays by itself.
2, solve the problem by urinating and defecation. Prepare cat toilet and cat litter. The cat will urinate and defecate inside and bury it. You have to clean it up regularly. Cat litter and cat food and cat toilet are must-use cats. There is no need to buy cat nests, they will find the place where they like. Don't need to buy cat collars (flea-proof rings, bells). If you wear the collar for a long time, it will wrinkle the hair on your neck. The flea ring will be useless and the bell will be noisy. Don't keep it, keep it in a cage. Don't buy cat clothes. Cats don't like to bind.
3, Kittens within March should not be fed milk. Some cats are naturally lactose-incompatible and will hang up after feeding milk. Buy special cat milk powder and use syringe to feed it. If you are born, use toilet paper to gently rub it with irritating the butt of the breasts to excrete.
4, cats over March can eat cat food. Kitten food.
5, they sleep almost 16~20 hours a day, with 2 (20 minutes each) active time. Pay attention to fragile products at home. Tableware, cups, vases, etc., will accidentally fall off the ground.
6, deworming inside and outside. Take insect pills twice a year in the body to prevent parasites in the body. External deworming.
7, observe the cat's middle ear every one or two months. It is black and dirty inside, and drop a few drops of ear oil, and then gently rub the back of the ears.
8, take it to the doctor in time if you are sick. The cat is very slim and doesn't like to get sick. But once you get sick, it is easy to get sick. For example, poor appetite and diarrhea. Send to the hospital as soon as possible.
9, it’s okay for cats to vomit. They may be spitting out hairballs, or eating too much, and being anxious.
10. If you live on a building ≥3rd floor, you should consider whether to seal the balcony based on the degree of the cat's naughty floor and other reasons. According to the size of the balcony and the materials used to seal the balcony, it is about 500-1000 RMB (including manual labor). There is a kind of plastic wrapped steel wire that has an invisible effect and can be considered for use.
11, cats love to bite thread. Computer power cord, mobile phone data cord, headphone cord, etc. When biting, you should warn and stop it. If the cats do more times, they will know that the thread cannot be bitten. At the same time, pay attention to closing the line.
12, don't need to take a shower. If the cat accidentally goes out for a few days and finds that it is dirty, then wash it. Cats have strong self-care ability. Cats' saliva is the most powerful cleanser and they will dress themselves up cleanly. Bathing can hurt their hair quality. Moreover, the close-fitting fluff is extremely difficult to dry. Prone to illness, including skin diseases. Such as ringworm. Especially for the nipples and kittens, they are easy to hang up when taking a bath. If the hair on the cat's back becomes thinner and has dandruff, consider washing it. It is best not to exceed 2 times a year.
13, cat scratches the table legs, sofa. If you have valuable furniture at home, please maintain it with caution.
14. If you live alone or have few family members and are often away from home, be careful. The cat has enough food and water to stay at home for 2 days. It’s not a big problem (but it’s also worrying, such as falling downstairs and getting caught by something). Not good for a long time. Therefore, the family cannot leave people for a long time. For example, during holidays and work travel, many people choose to send cats to pet hospitals for foster care. Cats are very unable to adapt to unfamiliar environments. The poor environment in pet hospitals is a kind of harm to their physical and psychological factors. It may lead to changes in their temperament. My approach is to hire a housekeeper and a time-honored worker. Arrange people before traveling, come here to feed them twice a day, and clean up the cat litter. Take care of the room by the way. Advantages: Avoid cats entering the new environment and do not use them to get back and drop off. The cost is similar, if there are more cats at home, it will save more money.
15, about one year old to sterilize. Otherwise, cats and people will not be able to live in peace. Male cat sterilization just takes off the balls, the cost is about RMB 400. Female cats are more troublesome, remove the ovaries or uterus. The cost is about RMB 900.
16, you don’t need to buy cat toys. They enjoy themselves, and they can find a feather for half a day.
17, buy a hair comb. Cats like to comb their hair, especially when the seasons change in spring and summer, they shed a lot of hair. Comb the old hair off, they are very happy and reduce the hair that licks into the stomach. There will be less cat hair floating around at home.
18, Clean cat hair: Vacuum cleaner (suitable for large flats, floors, beds), wet rag (small flats, curved surfaces, such as sofa backs, desktops), sealing tape (suitable for cleaning hair on clothes).
19, cats who never stay outdoors, in order to prevent parasites in their bodies, they usually pay attention not to give cats raw meat.
20, touch the cat's own place, such as the forehead and shoulder blades. Don't pull the cat's tail. The cat's tail is an important balancer for cats. Pulling hard will affect their sense of balance. Don't trim your cat's beard. A cat's beard is a cat's measuring ruler. As long as it is the width of the beard, the cat's body can pass through.
21, Do not let cats catch all kinds of cotton and thin threads. They usually play first, and then swallow them into their stomachs in pieces. It will affect digestion and cause vomiting. But don't panic, most cases will be discharged in about 2 days. Don't feed cat noodles-like long strips.
22. When playing with cats, they may accidentally hurt people because they are too happy that they do not master the standards. They are not intentional, don't be angry and beat and scold them. Use a nail clipper to cut the cat's nails and cut the tip off by about 3mm to reduce the probability of being accidentally injured. If you are a naughty cat who always likes to climb the balcony, be cautious. Not sharp in the claws will greatly increase their chances of falling.
23, when you are playing with a cat, you pretend to scream even if it doesn't bite it. In this way, it will know that it hurts you and will immediately let go. This kind of training was learned when they were playing with each other when they were playing with each other, which was to master the measure. Some cats had not gained this experience since they were young, so they needed to teach them.
24, scratched by a cat. They are too high, and if they are not well-controlled, they will hurt people. Apply erythromycin eye ointment (about 1.0 RMB) and stick a bandaid. Anti-inflammatory and relieve pain, heal quickly, leaving no scars.
25, cat bites. Your own cat is not extremely afraid of not biting people. Once bitten, the injury will be much worse than scratching. Pay attention to anti-inflammatory, erythromycin eye ointment, iodine wine, and 3 layers of gauze bandage (more layers of not breathable), and pay attention to the degree of wound swelling. Cats (including wild cats and stray cats) will not be infected with rabies and do not need to be vaccinated. So far, no case of cat bites and contagious rabies has been found in the Eastern and Western Hemispheres.
26, cats know that the most commonly used nose (baby has lips), then grab and mouth and teeth again.
27, the cat's meat pad is the only sweat gland. When you touch the meat pad in summer, you will sweat like a person's palm.
28, cats have weak color and weak ability to distinguish colors (and so are dogs).
29, cats have myopia.
30, the cats that scream when they make a fuss are all female.
31, Cats are like humans. Each cat has a different personality and the older they get, the harder they are to please.
32, when a cat kisses someone, it will ask you to get up and meow when it is meowing, and they will return to meow. He will support his family, kill all invading reptiles, and slap flies and mosquitoes when he is in a good mood. Two cat claws bring wealth to the family. The cat rubs you with his cheek, treating you as a kind of person. When a cat turns his belly in front of you, it is a sign of having a sense of security and trust in you. The back of your fingers gently rubbed meow's cheek (sweeping in the direction of your beard), and it will know you like it. Blinking slowly at it is equivalent to saying to it you love it.
33, cats can sense human emotions. When you are sad and crying, they will come over to check you (and dogs can). When you get angry, they stay there quietly.
34, have the ability to learn, can imitate other cats' behaviors, and can understand people's simple behaviors. For example, when they see people opening doors, they will use their claws to pull the door handles when they want to go out.
35, cat attributes. Sunflower attributes: like to bask in the sun, like warmth and hate coldness. Dandelion attribute: hair loss. Boundary attribute: Like to lie in the boundary, such as a piece of paper or a carton. Commanding heights: They like to conquer and occupy the highest position in their homes. Bird attributes: They have no wings, but they can fly. Strong curiosity, obsessive-compulsive disorder, hyperactivity (especially kittens under one year old), cleanliness. Artist attributes: drug use. The smell of mint, lemon, bleach, and bleach will make most cats ecstatic.
36, the cat's switch. The back of the neck is the Meow switch. They had to struggle to catch the land here. (Don't catch this when the cat is extremely scared)
37, if you are familiar with their temper attributes, you can get along better and you can fight with them. For example, they hate the smell of orange peel, and put two pieces on the bookshelf, and they will not climb up. They were too high for a moment when they were flying in the room, soaked their hands, shook them twice, and stroked them along their backs a few times. They have to stop and find a place to lick their hair (whoever calls you obsessive-compulsive disorder) to calm them down while also cleaning up the floating hair on their bodies.
38, the elves have an agreement with humans that, under whatever circumstances, if they sprinkle salt in front of them, they will stop everything and count the salt one by one. Cats and humans also have an agreement that most of the time, if you put your fingers upright in front of them, they will put them on their noses and smell them. (The middle finger cannot do it) ^
39, do not listen to operas to the dog, or sing bel canto and high notes in front of the dog. (Cats can try ^)
The precious species of me is the same as the roadside cat. It has both the life of a cat, and there is no high or low. If you want to raise a cat, you don’t buy it. Many homeless cats in the same city are looking for adoption ("City name + Adoption") are sterilized and dewormed. As long as you like it, have a healthy body and a good personality, you can take it home.
cats are good companion animals. They have no sense of owners and live under the same roof like friends. Raising one can bring a lot of warmth, and of course there are troubles. So think about all possible situations and don’t throw them away halfway (as is the same with dogs). After a domestic cat loses its home, it is very likely that it will not be able to survive. Even if you survive, you still have no food and clothing. The average lifespan of a domestic cat is only 3 years.
The world of people is vast and vast, full of various choices and opportunities. In contrast, the cat's world seems small and warm. Their world is limited to the small eaves you give it to. It has become a safe haven for their souls and a small nest of happiness in their eyes. For cats, having enough food, clean drinking water and a corner where they can play is their greatest satisfaction. We and the cat, as two tiny living beings in this vast universe, have the honor to meet and spend a while together, accompany each other, give each other warmth, and weave warmth together.
