Nowadays, many people like to keep pets, and cats are the first choice for pets because of their cute appearance. To become a qualified pet owner, of course, we must know all about cats, so that when we get along with cats, we will be more harmonious.
The cat's appearance is very difficult to approach, giving people a cold feeling, but in fact, its heart is very warm, the cat is friendly to the owner, lively and cute. We need to take care of it so that our cats will grow up healthy. Here are some caveats, let's take a look.
1. Prepare in advance
When the cat comes home for the first time, it is recommended to prepare an empty room in advance, prepare food, water and a litter box in it, and leave the cat alone in the empty room for 1-3 days, during which you can communicate with the cat frequently alone.
This is to familiarize the cat with the smell, environment, and owner of the home and prevent the cat from being agitated by sudden changes in the environment.
2. Don’t change cat litter suddenly
When we want to change the cat litter, remember not to change it suddenly, because the cat may not be able to accept it for a while. This can cause your cat to pee on your bed, on the couch, or even in all corners of your home. The best way is to mix the two types of cat litter and gradually reduce the proportion of old cat litter.
3. Don’t change cat food suddenly
When replacing cat food for cats, we can buy a small amount first, and then feed the old cat food and new cat food separately after buying it home to see which one the cat likes to eat more.
It is also worth noting that the higher the price of cat food is not the better. Although the cat food with high price is more nutritious, it is not suitable if the cat does not like to eat it.
4. Do not deworm frequently
If our cat does not go out often, it is recommended to deworm the cat once every 4-5 months. As long as the house is kept clean and hygienic during this period, there will generally be no problems.
It is recommended to deworm the cat's body once every 3-4 months, but if you often feed the cat with raw fish, it is recommended to do it once every 2 months.
5. Pay attention to the cat’s vomit
When cats vomit, we should not worry. Generally, there are many reasons for cats to vomit. Most of the causes of vomiting are gastrointestinal and internal hairballs.
We can observe the cat's vomit. If cat hair appears in the vomit, just take two weeks of hair removal cream. If the vomit is a yellow-brown liquid, first take a picture of the vomit with a mobile phone, and then take the cat to the hospital for further treatment.
6. Pay attention to nutritional supplements for cats
Although homemade cat food is good, it is definitely not to mix and cook various ingredients and then feed it, but to add various nutrients, such as fish oil, taurine, vitamins, etc. If we can't do it ourselves, it is recommended to feed cats cat food, because cat food is rich in nutrients that can meet the developmental needs of cats.
Compared with dogs, cats are not as enthusiastic as dogs, and they will not blindly obey the instructions of their owners. They do not like to go out like dogs. What are the differences between cats and dogs, let's find out together.
1. Different ways of exercise
Dogs are often great exercise companions, and many enjoy running and will enjoy traveling. Cats are agile but not very athletic, but that doesn't mean they're not agile. Cats swoosh or jump while stalking their prey.
2. Different hunting methods
Dogs and cats are both good hunters, however, they approach their prey differently. Cats can use their claws to climb trees and then jump from heights effortlessly, while dogs are more likely to use their snouts to find or grab prey quickly.
