Introduction to raising cats for beginners 1 cats

1, understand cats. This is particularly important.

In fact, you only need to know a little, where do cats come from?

Is it a "Northeast" cat or a domestic cat bred by yourself? (Note: Breeding is not the same as breeding an adult female cat. According to her physical condition, she should retire after giving birth to five children at most in two years. ) Is it from a "cat dealer" or a cat owner who loves cats?

2. Health check.

Before picking up the cat, you must first confirm whether the cat is healthy and whether it is vaccinated and deworming on time.

3. Choose the right cat catching tool.

You can choose an appropriate size pet air box, travel bag or small iron cage (covered with breathable cloth cover to prevent cats from being scared by strange environment). For big cats, try not to use cartons to avoid being scared and running away.

4. do a good job of protection.

Kittens, like children, like to jump around and rub around. So put away the fragile things such as knives and glass products at home, as well as all things that cats can't touch, such as chocolate, coffee, lilies, various drugs, various acid and alkali household cleaners (to prevent licking), mothballs, pesticides and bright paint for furniture. ...

Do a good job of sealing the windows, and families with conditions can buy barbed wire. Because cats like to look out of the window, it is necessary to prevent cats from accidentally opening the window and falling down (high-rise residents) or sneaking out (first floor residents) because they are playing on the window. Another trick is not to let the cat see it every time you open the window. Because some witty cats secretly learn how to open the window! So this is also to teach parents some necessary tips! ! Hee hee hee! !

5. Give the cat a quiet and free environment.

Don't hug or kiss the cat when it gets home. Families with children should pay special attention not to let children tease cats. Cats are notoriously sensitive and slow-heating animals. In order not to frighten them, try to give them a time to get familiar with the new environment. It is suggested to put the kitten in a room first, don't disturb it, don't rush to feed food and water, and get familiar with the environment after 2 hours. Don't take the cat to a strange environment just after picking it up, which will scare the cat and cause stress, especially where there are other pets.

6. Take a bath to repel insects.

① Take a bath. Kittens within 3 months have low resistance and are not suitable for bathing. Cats with complete vaccines for more than 3 months should close the window when taking a shower. And hot air drying in time. Beware of colds and cat ringworm. In addition, in fact, cats are not so dirty. Except in special circumstances, it is not recommended to bathe cats frequently for three days. It will destroy the protective effect of hair on cat skin, usually once a month. And I just took it home and didn't wash it! ! !

② deworming. Insect repellent in vivo and in vitro, used according to dosage, adult cats and kittens have their own special ones. Cats have to catch up once a month before they grow to five pounds. Drive once every three months after five pounds.

③ After the triple vaccine for cats and rabies and the first vaccine, the second vaccine was inoculated every 3-4 weeks (2 1-28 days).

Avoid diseases such as cat plague and nasal branches. Don't sacrifice the kitten's safety to save money.

As for rabies vaccine, it is not recommended to give it to cats.

If you are ready, whether you get married and have children, move with your family, or even get sick and die, you won't abandon your cat, so keep it!

Feeding articles

Pay special attention to

When the kitten takes home, it must continue to eat the cat food provided by the original owner to avoid diarrhea caused by changing food. Changing grain requires a transition, and it cannot be changed directly at one time. Don't feed canned food, homemade cat rice and goat milk powder for 3 ~ 7 days to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. 3 ~ 7 days, everything is normal, you can feed it.

Cats are mammals, but their eating habits are different from those of people. They are carnivores, and there are many things they can't eat. (Note: 8~ 12-week-old kittens need to eat less and eat more. Overeating kittens can lead to indigestion, vomiting and diarrhea. )

Give an extra meal every day if you like it.

According to the law of changing food for pets, changing food should be done slowly within 5~7 days.

cleaning products

Clean and shovel garbage boxes almost twice a day. Once in the morning and once in the evening. Of course, I am diligent. If I could see it, I would shovel it. The room should also be ventilated and cleaned frequently. The host usually likes to keep the house clean. If the ground is dirty, the host will feel bad, so it is necessary to mop the floor at home every week. You can wipe the floor after dilution with 84 disinfectant or Du disinfectant.

Take a bath. In hot summer, you can give your master a bath for more than 3 months, but you should pay attention to keep warm. Usually, the temperature difference between home and outdoor should not exceed 3 degrees. Usually, if you see signs of gum or scratching your ears, you should wipe them clean and drop eye drops and drugs to remove ear mites. Some parents especially like to turn on the air conditioner. If there are cats at home, the temperature difference between air conditioner and outdoor temperature should not exceed three degrees.

Because cats, creatures with extremely sensitive noses, can feel the indoor air flow faster as the temperature drops, so they must be given an adaptation process. It is suggested not to blow the cold air directly on the cat, but on the top of the house, so that the temperature of the house will drop more evenly. At the same time, families with conditions can turn on the humidifier at the same time to give the cat a comfortable and healthy environment.

Ying's short face is big and round, her limbs are thick and short, her hair is thick, her personality is gentle and she is friendly to people. He is one of the easy cats to keep. English short is an ancient breed, and its history can be traced back to domestic cats in Roman times. Because of its extensive breeding history, Britain has a healthier body and a docile personality. There are many kinds of short coat colors in Britain, such as white, black and cream, among which the most popular is blue cat.

3. American short-haired cat

American shorthair cat is a big breed of shorthair cat, which originated in America. Their bodies are uniform, their bones are strong and their limbs are strong. Beauty has a strong adaptability, so even if she moves or goes out for a change, there is generally no stress reaction. Beauty is meek. If you have children at home, you can play with them. If there are other animals at home, you can live together well. There are more than thirty kinds of short hair colors, among which silver short hair is the most precious.

Cat breeds know how to choose, but there are also some places to pay attention to.

If it's the first time to raise an animal, it's best not to raise a nursing cat. A nursing cat needs careful care, and it is easy to make mistakes if it is unfamiliar. It is best to keep cats for more than two months. Cats grow very fast. At this time, cats can eat cat food by themselves and go to the toilet by themselves.

Before taking the cat home, you must first confirm the health status of the cat, whether there are infectious diseases such as cat plague and cat moss, whether it has been deworming, and whether it has been vaccinated.

It's best to prepare a cat bag to pick up the cat. Don't put the cat in a simple cardboard box.

When a cat comes home, it needs an adaptation process, which may be a few hours or a few days, so don't worry, get familiar with it. Cats are slow-heating animals and need time to adapt to the new environment, so when you see cats hiding in the cracks, don't worry about them, just prepare food and water.

Introduction to novice cat raising 3 Precautions for novice cat raising 1. Vaccinate regularly

There are many kinds of vaccines that cats need to be vaccinated. Different vaccines, different injection times, and different immune diseases. At present, there are two types, three types and four types of common vaccines on the market. Beginners must pay attention to matters when raising cats. Several vaccines here refer to the prevention of several diseases, not the superficial meaning of a few injections. Vaccine injections require high storage environment. To be on the safe side, it is better for the shovel officer to go to the pet hospital for an injection.

Precautions for novice cats II. Regular deworming

Many friends think that cats don't go out and don't need insect repellent. However, taking fleas as an example, only 5% of fleas are visible to the naked eye, and the remaining 95% of flea eggs and larvae will be hidden in the home environment such as sofas and carpets, and the owner will bring them back when he goes out. So you think that a clean and tidy home environment is full of pathogenic "invisible playmates" for cats.

So how do novices do mosquito repellent? As a senior shovel officer, I have been using Brian to push the pipe. Bolin, a famous brand imported from France, innovates the four-effect formula, truly drives inside and outside, eliminates the potential threats of fleas, ticks, roundworms, tapeworms and hookworms, and is particularly clean in insect repellent. If it doesn't work, I suggest you try. Moreover, the design of the small push tube is simple and easy to use, which is particularly friendly to novices. Cats can easily repel insects without taking medicine ~

Precautions for novice cats 3. Standardization of insect repellent

Many friends think that insect repellent is the same as vaccine, and it will be over after two injections. But this is not the case. The growth cycle of internal and external parasites such as fleas and roundworms is generally about 3 weeks. They can grow into adults within 3-5 weeks and lay eggs again after 2 months. Therefore, it is suggested that parents of hairy children should be prepared to drive once a month when using Blaine. You know, parasitic infections can happen anytime and anywhere. Only by insisting on the normalization of mosquito repellent can the health of pets be truly guaranteed.
