Humans are roughly divided into two types: cats who love cats and those who do not have the nature of cats. The heart of cat love is deeply engraved in the soul of human beings, and it has a long history. For centuries, cats have been very important to humans. Cat was a symbol of auspiciousness, was awed and cherished by humans, and was also regarded as the incarnation of the devil, and was massacred. when did cats start to be pets? About 3000 BC. In ancient Egypt, the first domesticated cat was used to control mouse harm, and gradually became a loved family partner, and was even worshiped. The Egyptians were very impressed with this flexible, strong, secretive, secret, and mouse hunter who was able to set up mice to death, and began to wait for them to be like a sacred object. The Egyptians call these gods as "Meow" (MIW). When the "meow" died, the owner had to mourn, painted anticorrosive sesame oil on the cat, put it in the coffin, and sent it to the Baster Temple in Bastis. The ancient Egyptians made a large number of dead cats into mummy. Scientists studied these cats, so they proved that the cats originated in African wild cats. (See "the most direct close relatives of the cat",*41-42). In ancient times, cats were also domesticated in the Far East, but time was later than Egypt. Some authoritative people believe that China began to raise cats in 2000 BC, while others believed that China did not start to raise cats until 400 AD. The cats were passed from Egypt to Italy, and then gradually passed to the entire Europe, winning "admirers" in many countries. But in the Middle Ages, cats were in bad luck. The Christian Church was unwilling to associate with the idols of pagans and launched a movement of persecution cats. Perhaps because the cat has an incredible agility, superstitious people believe that the witch can be deformed into a cat. This view has caused the unfortunate consequences of cats -often burned to death by Christians, because they believe that cats are the embodiment of the devil. However, when cats' use is re -recognized, the phenomenon of cats gradually disappears. By the 18th century, cats became common animals in the family. In the 19th century, cats had been very popular. By the end of the 19th century, at the first cat exhibition, the early purebred cats were displayed (see "What is a cat exhibition?",*178). What is the value of cats as pets? The money to buy cat flowers is not much. You can also get a non -pure cat from a friend or a charity. Even if you buy a purebred kitten from a cat, compared with other pets such as dogs or pony, the cost of feeding cats can be said to be minimal. Although it is not much to buy cats and raising cats, for the new owner of the cat, a cat is simply a priceless treasure. People can tease their cats, they can also use their cats, and they can add an elegant atmosphere to their homes. The cats can also be raised. The owner wants to go to work, and the cat is still the best pet, because cats do not need to take care of them all day. The elderly are accompanied by cats and benefit a lot; young people take care of their pets can increase their knowledge. It is not difficult to raise a cat: raising cats is not like dog raising, and it needs to be led to outdoor activities, and it is not as expensive of a full set of technical equipment like fish tanks. has established a good relationship with cats Cats are not like dogs. It is unwilling to be "possessed" at all, and its independence is never allowed to be deprived. To establish a good relationship with cats, you should not be used as property, but you should try to see it as guests who live in your home. Cats are willing to spend time with you. Except for simple food, it does not require any remuneration (see "cat feeding"). You must cultivate feelings with cats. Cats and dogs are different. It will not stay with the poor owner for blind loyalty. But on the other hand, if the owner understands it and appreciates it, it can receive it, and it will be reported and respected. In order to win the feelings of your cat friend, you must understand the habit of the cat and treat the cat friends in your home based on this. The habit of cats Cats can be regarded as a perfect animal. Nature has arranged it perfectly: cats look good, fulfill their duties, live independently, do not rely on the owner, contribute more, and ask less. Cat's sensory organs are extremely perfect and can always make a keen response to the environment around it. All cats are born with noble characteristics. The family cats are proud of the most secretive, most keen, most dangerous, most beautiful and brave mammals on the planet. Compared with the American lion, cats are very docile, but it is not like other domesticated animals such as dogs. Cats also have a slightly wild and independent taste. Indeed, compared with other livestock, cats have been domesticated much later. The cat was stubborn, never shaking his tail, and begging. If you want your pet to become a slave, you should not choose a cat, but you should raise a dog. . Although cats and dogs are typical carnivores, cats are more suitable for hunting tasks. Generally speaking, wild dogs are predated in groups, and wild cats, except for some lions, risks to go out to predator alone. Like the wild "distant relatives", the domesticated cats are also alone. Due to this characteristic, cats are particularly suitable for pets for individualists. D modern dogs because of close relationships with human beings, their physique and wolf's wild ancestors have been very different. The condition of the cat is different. Whether it is the long hair cat or Siamese cat on the exhibition desk, it is still similar to its ancestor in terms of physical and personality. The sleeping position is lying elegantly on the small sleeping, ginger cat by the fireplace, and its bones are a leopard cat; the female sparrow cat stared at the sparrows with eyes staring at the grass, from its face, You can see the eyes of a pair of tigers. Indeed, there are many fun in the family who can enjoy a cat in the family. One of them is that they can observe this kind of fighter with a very deep martial arts in the ancient times. In fact, it is the basic habits of cats that promote cats with human beings. When the human life model is shifted from hunting to farming and collecting food, the cat's bravery is used to capture the mouse, so it evolves into domestication. The ability of cat hunting is high and strong, because the cat's actions are extremely secretive and agile (see "Has",*190-191). When the cat catches the rat, it is not necessarily hungry, but it is rather to be performing a sports or game. Many people think that cats are cruel and difficult to understand. For example, when the cat caught the prey, it would not bite it immediately, but would rather tease the unfortunate prey before biting it. However, we cannot apply human moral standards to beasts. Cats do this just to practice skills. This instinct should not be punished. In addition, many hunters such as cats use dual standards. On the one hand, it is applauded for the cat's ability to get rid of the mouse in the home, but on the other hand, it criticizes the way of cat capture birds. A as a hunter, the cat's vision is very good (see Chapter 1 "Eyes", pages 28-30). Most of the day, cats are keen observing the surrounding environment. If it becomes "emotionally active", it may be that it comes with the time when it captures the prey. It will lurk in the places where it is difficult to find: such as in the short trees, behind the big tree, behind the half -hidden door, or in the high grass. If it wants to rest and sleep for a while, it will choose a favorable terrain that can attack attack: outdoors, you may choose the wall, roof or affiliated building; in the room, it feels that the safer place is a chair or bed. Even when the cat is dozing, its senses are still receiving messages. When there is a dangerous movement, the cat can jump up immediately to deal with the situation. Therefore, cats are still "alert" while sleeping and are ready to resist the invaders at any time. The cat has strong curiosity. Why is this? Why do cats take care of an empty paper bag, drill into the cupboard or the shed in the garden? Some reasons are: cats are always foraging, looking for prey that can be captured, or finding a warm place, can curl up dozing dozing. The reason for another part is that Cat Tenno loves adventure and has a strong interest in the surrounding world. For example: a bold cat may enter a neighbor without a cat when we wander. If it is welcomed, it will treat the neighbor as a "villa". When you go out, the cat will visit there. Unfortunately, the curiosity of cats is not exactly beneficial to cats. As the saying goes, good management will attract the calamity of the body. The owner of the responsibility should protect the cat, as if the parents protect their children, so that it can be exempted from the potential danger that it is unaware! However, do not protect excessive, because the senior "individualists" such as cats do not like to be doted. It to raise cats, you must first understand the basic characteristics of the cat. If you read the common sense provided in this "raising cat" and follow the suggestions, you and your cat will definitely enjoy long -term and pleasant friendship.
This of cats
made the right choice Once you have the desire to raise a cat, you have to make a decision on many issues, the most important of which are, the most important thing is that You have to decide to raise a purebred cat or a non -purebred cat. Why choose to raise a pure seed cat? If you are interested in participating in cat exhibitions or breeding, you should buy a purebred cat. What kind of cats choose depends on personal hobbies. However, please keep in mind that long -haired cats need to sort out each day (*170), while Siamese cats and Berman cats demand the love of people, noise, and may be mature and faster than other cats. Choosing a purebred cat not only requires a healthy inspection for cats, but only through the eyes of experts can you identify the characteristics, quality, quality and the possibility of its future award -winning. Therefore, you should go to buy with a person who is very familiar with the variety of cats and fully understand what your hope you want to get a cat. Unfortunately, the price of purebred cats is very expensive. If you can't afford all the costs, there are two ways to reach a transaction: First, buy a cat with "pet quality", its characteristics may not meet the standards of participating in the cat exhibition, but in any case, this cat can become a cat can become a cat can become a cat can become a cat. Good pets. If you sign a breeding agreement, you can buy a cat with "exhibition quality"; at the scheduled time to return the cat to the seller for breeding. You should be agreed with the seller, who owns the kitten and write the agreement as a text. Why choose non -purebred cats? Generally speaking, the main purpose of raising cats is to accompany people. If this is your purpose, it doesn't make much sense to buy purebred cats. In particular, if you live in the city, stealing cat thieves often aims at stealing Persian cats and Siamese cats, let alone to raise pure cats. There are often many cheap hybrid cats that are available for ordinary families to raise cats. Should I choose a male cat or a female cat? In what I see, you can choose a male cat or a female cat who removes the ovary. Because both of these cats can also be an excellent pet. I suggest not to raise a male cat, because it will pee everywhere and make a pungent smell; it often goes out to wander, often fights, and will be injured or infected. For the same reason, the female cats who have not removed the ovary should not be raised. This kind of female cat often estrus at some time in the year. If you don't keep it at home, it may not be pregnant according to the wishes of the owner. The cats that remove the ovaries do not have these shortcomings, and they may make the cat closer to people. Should I choose a kitten or an adult cat? When buying pets, the petite and weak kitten is very cute. But it takes a lot of care, and it must train it to develop a hygiene habit. From a favorable perspective, kittens usually adapt to the new environment quickly. For many people, raising adult cats is a wise choice. If you work abroad all day, or when you feel that the kitten is too noisy, or it is difficult to train, you should develop an adult cat. If you have purchased an adult cat, you will be locked indoors in the first few days, otherwise it may try to return to the original owner's house. Should I buy a cat or a pair of cats? If you have a limited income or a small residence, it is impossible to buy a few cats. However, if every member of the family goes out during the day and only one cat is at home, it may be lonely, then you can buy two cats so that they can accompany each other. This to buy healthy cats The source of cats may have a lot of sources. It is a good way to recommend it by others, but what cat to buy depends on which one you decided to buy and how much you want. Before investigating the source of the cat, don't hurry to buy the cat back. The cats who cultivate varieties of cats If you have decided to buy purebred cats, you better buy it with people who specialize in breed cats. Although this is likely to spend expensive. Perhaps the local cat breeder club can also provide your breeder's name and address. Otherwise, you would rather visit the cat exhibition, and you will meet many people who cultivate cats. Although some cats may also be sold at the cat exhibition, it is best to go to the cat's house to see the whole cat. There, you can observe how the kittens are observed and the noise and excitement of leaving the cat exhibition. buy a cat from a pet store If you have other ways, I want to advise you not to go to the pet store to buy cats. Because kittens are particularly susceptible to disease and infection, and disease and infection are easy to spread in pet stores. If you are sure to buy a cat there, you must check the cat thoroughly. Cats sold in pet stores are usually reasonable. This to buy cats from protecting animal organizations The charity life institution is another convenient source of non -purebred cats. Usually you only need to spend a little money or even get a cat. In health certificates and vaccination Is before buying cats, and ask veterinarians to check for an ideal method. If you want to buy expensive purebred cats, it is necessary to ask veterinarians to check. Please check the veterinarian and issue a written health certificate. If you get a kitten or adult cat from the Shengsheng Association, the veterinarian will be checked before transferring the cat to you. However, no matter where you get the cat, it is a priority to arrange veterinary examinations for cats as soon as possible after getting it. If you buy a kitten, you should make sure that the kitten has injected anti -cat enteritis and cat influenza vaccine (*238, 229) at least a week before purchasing. If you buy an adult cat, you must find out whether it has injected vaccines when the kitten is injected, and it will not be regularly injected with auxiliary agent that enhances the efficacy. Injecting vaccine and auxiliary agents must have a written proof of veterinarians. In addition, if you still have other cats, in order to make them not infected with leukemia (*259), the veterinarian should ask the newly bought cat to test the blood to prove that the result is negative. Pure breed cat registration Wen pure seed cats with five weeks, these cats should be registered under the name of the cat owner together with their hair color and parents of the cats. If you do not register, you will not be allowed to participate in the cat exhibition of purebred cats in the future. Thising whether the cat's habits are good Is when buying cats, you must find cats that are clever, friendly, naughty, and willing to be disciplined. If you buy a kitten, it is best to choose a robust, more courageous, and first -born cat; do not choose the smallest and most timid kitten in a nest, because the smallest cat is often easy to get sick, you may be due to the illness, you may be due to the illness. The cat's premature death is sad. The cats you want to buy No matter which kind of cat you want to raise or where you buy a cat, you must follow a golden family jade law: Be sure to study the health of the cat. Do not buy sick cats or cats that have not reached standard. If you propose to check the cat, don't buy it if you are rejected, because any responsible seller will understand it, and it is reasonable to check the new pets that are purchased thoroughly. This cats used to wash their hands before, tease the cat for a while, and eliminate the cat's tension. In the entire inspection program, we must grab the cat's body steadily and gently to prevent the cat from escaping. On how to check the kitten Check the hair This to touch the texture of the kitten quilt, whether it is smooth, is there any entanglement, and find a flea or other pests. The ears The kitten's ears should be cleaned and dry, and confirm that there is no earwax in the ear (*250). Checking the eyes and nose The third eyelid (*) cannot be prominent; the eyes should be cleaned and bright; the nose should be humid. Suled the mouth and teeth The healthy kittens are pink, the teeth are white, and the gums are not inflamed. Su anal The tail of the cat and find signs of diarrhea. The anus should be cleaned and no feces. This abdomen This touch below the cat's belly with one hand. The abdomen should be slightly round and not stiff. It is found that there is no lump (hernia), and then let the cats walk freely in order to see if it is lame. *How to distinguish the sex of the kitten? Although the gender of adult cats is easy to identify, it is not easy to distinguish the male and female of the kitten. During the inspection, the cat's tail was lifted and the holes below the anus. If the vagina and the anus are close, the two openings seem to be close to each other, and they can be determined as a little female cat. There is a dark and raised place under the anus of the kitten cat, which will develop into the penis under the testicles and the penis under the testicles in the future.
The care for kittens
Observing the life of a kitten after birth is indeed very interesting. Moreover, this is an extremely important stage. Because the health of adult cats is formed in its early life. When the kitten was born, his eyes had not been opened, very weak, like a sausage -shaped fluffy thing, but after a few weeks, it would become a smooth back and mouse hunter. The smart owner must fulfill the responsibility of supporting the father, mother or nanny, and must carefully observe the kitten's every move, learn to predict its warmth and warmth, and can see its joy and sorrow. When you win the feelings and friendship of new cats, your efforts will be fully repaid. The newborn kitten When the kitten was born, the length is 11 to 15 cm, and the weight is 70 to 135 grams. The eyes of the newborn kitten have not opened, and the ears are reflected, so they can't hear both. When you are born, you ca n’t walk, and depend on the survival of the female cat. After eight weeks, you can live independently. The first progress of the kitten developed was to open the eyes from five to ten days; the eyes could be completely opened in eight to 20 days. The color of the eyes is usually gray -blue. At about twelve weeks, this early color begins to change. When the kittens began to crawl on 16 to 20 days; when three to four weeks, they started eating solid food; weaned completely at about eight weeks. The family relationship between female cats and kittens Themat who has just given birth will accept that they are not biological kittens. Once the female cat and their biological children form an intimate relationship, this relationship will no longer easily accept foreign countries. s cat. When the kitten began to eat solid food, this intimacy gradually weakened, and the female cat started to treat the biological cats and non -biological cats. This of kitten growth and development Even if the same nest kitten, each kitten's growth and development may be different. Some live independently; some depend on mothers. Similarly, the degree of physical development may be different. Usually, the kitten that is usually born is always the smallest and the weakest is the weakest; the following numbers refer to the situation of the general kitten. V vision open eyes: 8-20 days The eyes become fixed color: 12 weeks : 21 to 25 days Running: 4 to 5 weeks weaning starts to eat solid food: 3 to 4 weeks When weaning: 8 weeks training n Start training large and small urination: 3 to 4 weeks long teeth The deciduous teeth are long Qi Qi: 8 weeks n n n n: 12-18 weeks Mao: 4 to 5 weeks Starting play: 4 to 5 weeks n Inocular vaccine and removal of sex organs The first vaccination: 9th week It 2 vaccination: 12th week : Week 36 In leaving the mother cat independently The earliest time to leave the female cat: 6 to 8 weeks
This of cats' resettlement, grabbing and transportation
Cat nest as, even if your cat is snuggled beside you at night, you need to have your own sleep. Your cat may rather doze off on your bed or a cushion or chair without sleeping in the nest. However, when it will be sick or unsafe in the future, Cat's Nest will be an important place to retreat, which can meet the deep needs of its heart. This to buy cat nests At present, most pet shops sell cat nests, you can buy one for your cat companion. There are many types of cat nests, from the bean bag type cat nest (large round cushion filled with polystyrene particles) to the housing cat nest in the Eskimos (this is a dome cat nest. Make it!) The traditional wicker basket is very attractive. It is said that the squeak of the basket soothed the kitten, but this basket is not easy to clean: switch to the cheap wooden box or cardboard box, which is paved with many newspapers, which is also suitable as a cat's nest. In addition, the cardboard can be treated casually and can be replaced after dirt. The soft and warm pads should be paved in the cat's nest, so that it is comfortable and attractive for cats. You can put some newspapers in the nest first, and then put some soft cloth. An old wool jacket can easily change to a luxurious cat. If you buy a new kitten, it may miss your mother and brothers and sisters, and you can also add a soft toy to the kitten to accompany the nest. Cleaning the cat's nest The cat is born with a clean animal. If the cat's nest is dirty, they will disdain it. So you should regularly clean the cat's nest and clean the dirt. Plastic cat nest is currently the most easy to clean, and there is also the advantages of unusual fleas. Dilute water with non -toxic disinfection agent and completely scrub the cat's nest. After the cat's nest is dry, spread a new layer of newspapers, and then hot the pad or replace it. Where should the cat's nest be placed? The cats have a quirk. I like to find the most milder place in my home and curl up my body and doze off. If your home is a central air conditioner, your cat is likely to choose to sleep near the boiler. As long as you do n’t wear the wind, it is the best place to put the cat's nest. Is when the weather is cold, you can add a warm cushion to the cat's nest (such as a warm cushion like an electric blanket) for cats to warm. However, the warm cushion must be placed on the side of the nest, not in the middle, so that there are both warm places and cold places in the nest so that cats can choose the temperature they like. The cat's sleep time You can bring the cat to the cat's nest, but it cannot make it sleep in the nest. It is difficult for many cats to hear the position you arranged for it at home. Even if you prepare a bed where you sleep, you are likely to find it curled up and sleep on your bed. If you don't oppose a furry "hot soup pot" sleeping on your bed, this is not a problem. But if you like to sleep quietly at night, you must set the rules in your home when you are still a kitten. Is when you start the sleep time system, just put the cat in the cat's nest before you are going to sleep, turn off the electric light, and close the door to the cat's nest room. Don't forget to put the cat's pots and cat water bowls in where the cat can reach. At the beginning, kittens are likely to not like this mandatory separation, but after one to two weeks, the kitten will fall asleep quietly every night.
The feeding of cats
The diet required by cats The cats without vegetarian cats in the world: cats are carnivorous animals, and they must have meat to live. But this does not mean that cats do not like or do not need to eat fruits or vegetables. There are several wild cats who like to eat some fruits or delicious vegetarian foods as a supplement to meat. For example, after killing their victims, the lions and tigers often appetizers directly, gobbled out of the digestive vegetarian soup, as yeasts that help digestion, and then taste the main dishes such as meat slices and pork ribs. The nutrition required for cats The main principles that cat feeding cats should be diversified in food. From the first day of the kitten weaning, it should be used to eating a variety of foods. Although the diet of pet cats should be at least 25 % of protein, they should take their wild distant relatives as an example. The food should be changed. This to provide fat and carbohydrates for cat food as a cat's physical energy, which is a smart way. Because to a certain extent, it is a waste to eat the whole protein diet of fish and meat. This is because these expensive foods only generate calories after digestion in the cat, not used to repair cells. Another reason for not feeding whole protein food is that this diet is not good for health. Excessive ingredients of raw meat in cats will produce harmful effects: only eating fish and other foods, cats will lack vitamin B; cats with only animal liver, will be abnormal Calcium and vitamins. If you can provide a variety of selected foods shown in the table below and the main nutritional content containing the main nutritional ingredients, the cat's diet should naturally reach balance. If you accept an old cat who has accumulated difficulties in diet, you work hard when you do cat food. If you do n’t always eat crayfish and caviar, you may pull it back from your heart to death. Essence When you have a new cat in your home, as the owner, you better change a new diet that is good for it; you will gradually increase new food in a few weeks Essence The nutrients If your cat's body is healthy, the cats you feed are wide and have a lot of tricks, you don't have to add vitamins and minerals to the cat. If you add, these vitamins and minerals will only be discharged. However, for sick cats, it is sometimes beneficial to supplement these things: for example, iron pills can help recover from anemia cats. Such treatments should only be performed under the guidance of veterinarians. Vitamins and minerals are also beneficial for female cats who are pregnant or feeding. Hawli can cats do not feed? This can survive much longer than humans, because cats lose 40 % of their weight and do not die. 10 % of 10 %, generally fatal danger). It is known that under special circumstances, cats can still survive for a few weeks of not eating or drinking water. For example, a male cat named Chipus from Liverpool, Britain, was unintentionally installed in a machine component box and was transported to Moniabasa, Kenya. Four weeks later, when the box was opened in Africa, Chipus was still although thinner, but he was still alive. It is believed that it survives by eating some oils and culprit that is coated outside the machine and a very small water produced by the condensation. Pre -packaged foods The pre -packaged foods for cat -fed cats sold on the market are mainly three types of foods: canned meat, semi -wet food and dried food. Although these three types of foods are convenient for feeding, they should only be used as part of cats, not all cats. The ideal approach is to feed fresh food at least twice a week (see page 162). This is because if you intend to allow cats to live and live healthy for a long time, this kind of monopoly food cannot provide all the nutrients needed for cats. It is said that among these foods, many foods meet the protein content (25 % -30 %) in the specified cat food. However, like humans, cats should also eat fresh food to get enough vitamins and minerals. Furthermore, it is too monotonous to feed cats with only this kind of food. Even if some cats can tolerate this excessive monotonous, and in terms of nutritional value, the price of pre -packaged food is quite expensive. However, at some time, you may feel that you must use pre -packaged food as the only cat. As long as you feed for a few weeks instead of adulthood; and when you feed food, you should also feed a lot of water, and your cat will not tolerate it. It you will find that the chemical preparations added to the processed foods in the processed foods and the similarities of the packaging foods that are eaten by others. I suspect that most of these things are to make the customers and cats of the store, not cats easier to accept. Of course, which food is the best, the most right to speak is consumers -cats. They will not be affected by advertising; they either like to taste or refuse to eat. cans of food The foods include meat, fish, salt, jelly, vitamin, chemical pigments, water, and grains. Most foods are made of fish, chicken, beef, rabbit meat, or animal organs. They contain 25 % to 30 % protein, which can be used as the main rations of cats. Can be used for canned foods. Because they have disinfected to store it. With a large amount of water, the process of canned vitamins will be reduced after the process of canned. Dry foods This biscuits include cereals, fish, meat, yeast slices, vitamins, fat and pigments. They are cheaper than canned or semi -wet foods, and are easier to store and carry. But there are the following shortcomings: low fat and protein content; and some people suspect that they can cause cats to suffer from cystitis (see p. 253). If you feed cats with dry food, you must let it drink water often. The soft and humid foods This particles contain meat, soybeans, fat, vitamins, preservatives, chemical pigments, and often thickeners and sugar. The moisture content accounts for more than 33 %. The nutritional value is not very high. Soft and humid foods are the main cats because they contain more than 25 % of the protein, and their fat content is low. This kind of food can be stored in silver foil bags, which can be stored, but it is not as long as the other two types of foods have been stored for a long time.

If you leave the ground, you are paralyzed on the sofa to watch TV, or lying on the bed to sleep. But cats are not the same. They like complex environments. In addition to the ground that can be left, they also like to wander and rest on different heights such as the sofa, table, cabinet top, window sill, and shoveling officer. Moreover, cats like to occupy the high point, so the shoveling officer can arrange some highly scattered furniture at home to provide cats with multi -level activity space. 2. Prepare more cat supplies. I don’t know if you have imagined such a picture: living in a huge castle, there are beds everywhere to sleep, food and water can be enjoyed everywhere, there are fun things everywhere, you can everywhere, you can play everywhere. Play. We may be difficult to achieve, but we can let the cats at home achieve it! We may not be a big house, in fact, it is quite big for small and exquisite cats. The shoveling officer can put cat nests, food bowls, water bowls, cat sand pots, cat toys, cat climbing racks in many places in the house, so that they can use it everywhere, and you can plant some cat grass for the cats themselves It's okay to play.n3. Change the cat's nest and cat climbing position at any time, although the furnishings that remain unchanged can help cats get familiar with and trust the environment faster, the cat will lose interest over time. The shoveling officer can often change the position of the cat's nest and the cat climbing rack. Although the nest is still those nests, the shelf is still the shelf, but the replacement position can still attract the cat's attention. Found a place that cats prefer by the place where the cat climbing the rack. 4. Increasing the frequency of playing with cats, there are many shovel officers who have jobs or things to go out during the day. Tmall can only stay at home by themselves. Only at night, you can play with the shoveling officer for a while. Therefore, the shoveling officer may catch the cat for a long time out of the idea of compensation. In fact, cats are sprint players, and their concentration of everything can only maintain a small meeting, including playing. Therefore, when the shoveling officer is playing with cats, he should pay attention to the short duration of playing each time, and then play a few more times to make the cat more good when you play.n5. Increase the update frequency of cat toys. I believe everyone knows this -most of cats are three minutes of heat, and their interest in new things is fast. So sometimes cats lose interest in old toys and are eager to try new toys. In fact, there are also old cats. The favorite cat stick of Lele is bald, and basically a small iron stick. He still likes it. He often hides himself. Therefore, for the old toys, the shoveling officers can stay as much as possible, but they should also update the type of new toys frequently to let cats experience freshness.n1 morenBleak

"Catal Guide"
Humans are roughly divided into two types: cats who love cats and those who do not have the nature of cats. The heart of cat love is deeply engraved in the soul of human beings, and it has a long history. For centuries, cats have been very important to humans. Cat was a symbol of auspiciousness, was awed and cherished by humans, and was also regarded as the incarnation of the devil, and was massacred.
when did cats start to be pets?
About 3000 BC. In ancient Egypt, the first domesticated cat was used to control mouse harm, and gradually became a loved family partner, and was even worshiped. The Egyptians were very impressed with this flexible, strong, secretive, secret, and mouse hunter who was able to set up mice to death, and began to wait for them to be like a sacred object. The Egyptians call these gods as "Meow" (MIW). When the "meow" died, the owner had to mourn, painted anticorrosive sesame oil on the cat, put it in the coffin, and sent it to the Baster Temple in Bastis. The ancient Egyptians made a large number of dead cats into mummy. Scientists studied these cats, so they proved that the cats originated in African wild cats. (See "the most direct close relatives of the cat",*41-42). In ancient times, cats were also domesticated in the Far East, but time was later than Egypt. Some authoritative people believe that China began to raise cats in 2000 BC, while others believed that China did not start to raise cats until 400 AD.
The cats were passed from Egypt to Italy, and then gradually passed to the entire Europe, winning "admirers" in many countries. But in the Middle Ages, cats were in bad luck. The Christian Church was unwilling to associate with the idols of pagans and launched a movement of persecution cats. Perhaps because the cat has an incredible agility, superstitious people believe that the witch can be deformed into a cat. This view has caused the unfortunate consequences of cats -often burned to death by Christians, because they believe that cats are the embodiment of the devil. However, when cats' use is re -recognized, the phenomenon of cats gradually disappears. By the 18th century, cats became common animals in the family. In the 19th century, cats had been very popular. By the end of the 19th century, at the first cat exhibition, the early purebred cats were displayed (see "What is a cat exhibition?",*178).
What is the value of cats as pets?
The money to buy cat flowers is not much. You can also get a non -pure cat from a friend or a charity. Even if you buy a purebred kitten from a cat, compared with other pets such as dogs or pony, the cost of feeding cats can be said to be minimal.
Although it is not much to buy cats and raising cats, for the new owner of the cat, a cat is simply a priceless treasure. People can tease their cats, they can also use their cats, and they can add an elegant atmosphere to their homes.
The cats can also be raised. The owner wants to go to work, and the cat is still the best pet, because cats do not need to take care of them all day. The elderly are accompanied by cats and benefit a lot; young people take care of their pets can increase their knowledge. It is not difficult to raise a cat: raising cats is not like dog raising, and it needs to be led to outdoor activities, and it is not as expensive of a full set of technical equipment like fish tanks.
has established a good relationship with cats
Cats are not like dogs. It is unwilling to be "possessed" at all, and its independence is never allowed to be deprived. To establish a good relationship with cats, you should not be used as property, but you should try to see it as guests who live in your home. Cats are willing to spend time with you. Except for simple food, it does not require any remuneration (see "cat feeding"). You must cultivate feelings with cats. Cats and dogs are different. It will not stay with the poor owner for blind loyalty. But on the other hand, if the owner understands it and appreciates it, it can receive it, and it will be reported and respected. In order to win the feelings of your cat friend, you must understand the habit of the cat and treat the cat friends in your home based on this.
The habit of cats
Cats can be regarded as a perfect animal. Nature has arranged it perfectly: cats look good, fulfill their duties, live independently, do not rely on the owner, contribute more, and ask less. Cat's sensory organs are extremely perfect and can always make a keen response to the environment around it. All cats are born with noble characteristics. The family cats are proud of the most secretive, most keen, most dangerous, most beautiful and brave mammals on the planet. Compared with the American lion, cats are very docile, but it is not like other domesticated animals such as dogs. Cats also have a slightly wild and independent taste.
Indeed, compared with other livestock, cats have been domesticated much later. The cat was stubborn, never shaking his tail, and begging. If you want your pet to become a slave, you should not choose a cat, but you should raise a dog.
. Although cats and dogs are typical carnivores, cats are more suitable for hunting tasks. Generally speaking, wild dogs are predated in groups, and wild cats, except for some lions, risks to go out to predator alone. Like the wild "distant relatives", the domesticated cats are also alone. Due to this characteristic, cats are particularly suitable for pets for individualists.
D modern dogs because of close relationships with human beings, their physique and wolf's wild ancestors have been very different. The condition of the cat is different. Whether it is the long hair cat or Siamese cat on the exhibition desk, it is still similar to its ancestor in terms of physical and personality. The sleeping position is lying elegantly on the small sleeping, ginger cat by the fireplace, and its bones are a leopard cat; the female sparrow cat stared at the sparrows with eyes staring at the grass, from its face, You can see the eyes of a pair of tigers. Indeed, there are many fun in the family who can enjoy a cat in the family. One of them is that they can observe this kind of fighter with a very deep martial arts in the ancient times. In fact, it is the basic habits of cats that promote cats with human beings. When the human life model is shifted from hunting to farming and collecting food, the cat's bravery is used to capture the mouse, so it evolves into domestication.
The ability of cat hunting is high and strong, because the cat's actions are extremely secretive and agile (see "Has",*190-191). When the cat catches the rat, it is not necessarily hungry, but it is rather to be performing a sports or game. Many people think that cats are cruel and difficult to understand. For example, when the cat caught the prey, it would not bite it immediately, but would rather tease the unfortunate prey before biting it. However, we cannot apply human moral standards to beasts. Cats do this just to practice skills. This instinct should not be punished. In addition, many hunters such as cats use dual standards. On the one hand, it is applauded for the cat's ability to get rid of the mouse in the home, but on the other hand, it criticizes the way of cat capture birds.
A as a hunter, the cat's vision is very good (see Chapter 1 "Eyes", pages 28-30). Most of the day, cats are keen observing the surrounding environment. If it becomes "emotionally active", it may be that it comes with the time when it captures the prey. It will lurk in the places where it is difficult to find: such as in the short trees, behind the big tree, behind the half -hidden door, or in the high grass. If it wants to rest and sleep for a while, it will choose a favorable terrain that can attack attack: outdoors, you may choose the wall, roof or affiliated building; in the room, it feels that the safer place is a chair or bed. Even when the cat is dozing, its senses are still receiving messages. When there is a dangerous movement, the cat can jump up immediately to deal with the situation. Therefore, cats are still "alert" while sleeping and are ready to resist the invaders at any time.
The cat has strong curiosity. Why is this? Why do cats take care of an empty paper bag, drill into the cupboard or the shed in the garden? Some reasons are: cats are always foraging, looking for prey that can be captured, or finding a warm place, can curl up dozing dozing. The reason for another part is that Cat Tenno loves adventure and has a strong interest in the surrounding world. For example: a bold cat may enter a neighbor without a cat when we wander. If it is welcomed, it will treat the neighbor as a "villa". When you go out, the cat will visit there. Unfortunately, the curiosity of cats is not exactly beneficial to cats. As the saying goes, good management will attract the calamity of the body. The owner of the responsibility should protect the cat, as if the parents protect their children, so that it can be exempted from the potential danger that it is unaware! However, do not protect excessive, because the senior "individualists" such as cats do not like to be doted.
It to raise cats, you must first understand the basic characteristics of the cat. If you read the common sense provided in this "raising cat" and follow the suggestions, you and your cat will definitely enjoy long -term and pleasant friendship.

Once you have the desire to raise a cat, you have to make a decision on many issues, the most important of which are, the most important thing is that You have to decide to raise a purebred cat or a non -purebred cat.
Why choose to raise a pure seed cat?
If you are interested in participating in cat exhibitions or breeding, you should buy a purebred cat. What kind of cats choose depends on personal hobbies. However, please keep in mind that long -haired cats need to sort out each day (*170), while Siamese cats and Berman cats demand the love of people, noise, and may be mature and faster than other cats. Choosing a purebred cat not only requires a healthy inspection for cats, but only through the eyes of experts can you identify the characteristics, quality, quality and the possibility of its future award -winning. Therefore, you should go to buy with a person who is very familiar with the variety of cats and fully understand what your hope you want to get a cat. Unfortunately, the price of purebred cats is very expensive. If you can't afford all the costs, there are two ways to reach a transaction: First, buy a cat with "pet quality", its characteristics may not meet the standards of participating in the cat exhibition, but in any case, this cat can become a cat can become a cat can become a cat can become a cat. Good pets. If you sign a breeding agreement, you can buy a cat with "exhibition quality"; at the scheduled time to return the cat to the seller for breeding.

Why choose non -purebred cats?

There are often many cheap hybrid cats that are available for ordinary families to raise cats.
Should I choose a male cat or a female cat?
In what I see, you can choose a male cat or a female cat who removes the ovary. Because both of these cats can also be an excellent pet. I suggest not to raise a male cat, because it will pee everywhere and make a pungent smell; it often goes out to wander, often fights, and will be injured or infected. For the same reason, the female cats who have not removed the ovary should not be raised. This kind of female cat often estrus at some time in the year. If you don't keep it at home, it may not be pregnant according to the wishes of the owner. The cats that remove the ovaries do not have these shortcomings, and they may make the cat closer to people.
Should I choose a kitten or an adult cat?
When buying pets, the petite and weak kitten is very cute. But it takes a lot of care, and it must train it to develop a hygiene habit. From a favorable perspective, kittens usually adapt to the new environment quickly. For many people, raising adult cats is a wise choice. If you work abroad all day, or when you feel that the kitten is too noisy, or it is difficult to train, you should develop an adult cat. If you have purchased an adult cat, you will be locked indoors in the first few days, otherwise it may try to return to the original owner's house.
Should I buy a cat or a pair of cats?
If you have a limited income or a small residence, it is impossible to buy a few cats. However, if every member of the family goes out during the day and only one cat is at home, it may be lonely, then you can buy two cats so that they can accompany each other.
This to buy healthy cats

The care for kittens
Observing the life of a kitten after birth is indeed very interesting. Moreover, this is an extremely important stage. Because the health of adult cats is formed in its early life. When the kitten was born, his eyes had not been opened, very weak, like a sausage -shaped fluffy thing, but after a few weeks, it would become a smooth back and mouse hunter. The smart owner must fulfill the responsibility of supporting the father, mother or nanny, and must carefully observe the kitten's every move, learn to predict its warmth and warmth, and can see its joy and sorrow. When you win the feelings and friendship of new cats, your efforts will be fully repaid.
The newborn kitten
When the kitten was born, the length is 11 to 15 cm, and the weight is 70 to 135 grams. The eyes of the newborn kitten have not opened, and the ears are reflected, so they can't hear both. When you are born, you ca n’t walk, and depend on the survival of the female cat. After eight weeks, you can live independently. The first progress of the kitten developed was to open the eyes from five to ten days; the eyes could be completely opened in eight to 20 days. The color of the eyes is usually gray -blue. At about twelve weeks, this early color begins to change. When the kittens began to crawl on 16 to 20 days; when three to four weeks, they started eating solid food; weaned completely at about eight weeks.

Themat who has just given birth will accept that they are not biological kittens.

Cat nest
as, even if your cat is snuggled beside you at night, you need to have your own sleep. Your cat may rather doze off on your bed or a cushion or chair without sleeping in the nest. However, when it will be sick or unsafe in the future, Cat's Nest will be an important place to retreat, which can meet the deep needs of its heart.
This to buy cat nests
At present, most pet shops sell cat nests, you can buy one for your cat companion. There are many types of cat nests, from the bean bag type cat nest (large round cushion filled with polystyrene particles) to the housing cat nest in the Eskimos (this is a dome cat nest. Make it!) The traditional wicker basket is very attractive. It is said that the squeak of the basket soothed the kitten, but this basket is not easy to clean: switch to the cheap wooden box or cardboard box, which is paved with many newspapers, which is also suitable as a cat's nest. In addition, the cardboard can be treated casually and can be replaced after dirt.
The soft and warm pads should be paved in the cat's nest, so that it is comfortable and attractive for cats. You can put some newspapers in the nest first, and then put some soft cloth. An old wool jacket can easily change to a luxurious cat. If you buy a new kitten, it may miss your mother and brothers and sisters, and you can also add a soft toy to the kitten to accompany the nest.
Cleaning the cat's nest
The cat is born with a clean animal. If the cat's nest is dirty, they will disdain it. So you should regularly clean the cat's nest and clean the dirt. Plastic cat nest is currently the most easy to clean, and there is also the advantages of unusual fleas. Dilute water with non -toxic disinfection agent and completely scrub the cat's nest. After the cat's nest is dry, spread a new layer of newspapers, and then hot the pad or replace it.
Where should the cat's nest be placed?
The cats have a quirk. I like to find the most milder place in my home and curl up my body and doze off. If your home is a central air conditioner, your cat is likely to choose to sleep near the boiler. As long as you do n’t wear the wind, it is the best place to put the cat's nest.
Is when the weather is cold, you can add a warm cushion to the cat's nest (such as a warm cushion like an electric blanket) for cats to warm. However, the warm cushion must be placed on the side of the nest, not in the middle, so that there are both warm places and cold places in the nest so that cats can choose the temperature they like.
The cat's sleep time
You can bring the cat to the cat's nest, but it cannot make it sleep in the nest. It is difficult for many cats to hear the position you arranged for it at home. Even if you prepare a bed where you sleep, you are likely to find it curled up and sleep on your bed. If you don't oppose a furry "hot soup pot" sleeping on your bed, this is not a problem. But if you like to sleep quietly at night, you must set the rules in your home when you are still a kitten.
Is when you start the sleep time system, just put the cat in the cat's nest before you are going to sleep, turn off the electric light, and close the door to the cat's nest room. Don't forget to put the cat's pots and cat water bowls in where the cat can reach. At the beginning, kittens are likely to not like this mandatory separation, but after one to two weeks, the kitten will fall asleep quietly every night.
The feeding of cats
The diet required by cats
The cats without vegetarian cats in the world: cats are carnivorous animals, and they must have meat to live. But this does not mean that cats do not like or do not need to eat fruits or vegetables. There are several wild cats who like to eat some fruits or delicious vegetarian foods as a supplement to meat. For example, after killing their victims, the lions and tigers often appetizers directly, gobbled out of the digestive vegetarian soup, as yeasts that help digestion, and then taste the main dishes such as meat slices and pork ribs.
The nutrition required for cats
The main principles that cat feeding cats should be diversified in food. From the first day of the kitten weaning, it should be used to eating a variety of foods. Although the diet of pet cats should be at least 25 % of protein, they should take their wild distant relatives as an example. The food should be changed.
This to provide fat and carbohydrates for cat food as a cat's physical energy, which is a smart way. Because to a certain extent, it is a waste to eat the whole protein diet of fish and meat. This is because these expensive foods only generate calories after digestion in the cat, not used to repair cells. Another reason for not feeding whole protein food is that this diet is not good for health. Excessive ingredients of raw meat in cats will produce harmful effects: only eating fish and other foods, cats will lack vitamin B; cats with only animal liver, will be abnormal Calcium and vitamins.
If you can provide a variety of selected foods shown in the table below and the main nutritional content containing the main nutritional ingredients, the cat's diet should naturally reach balance. If you accept an old cat who has accumulated difficulties in diet, you work hard when you do cat food. If you do n’t always eat crayfish and caviar, you may pull it back from your heart to death. Essence When you have a new cat in your home, as the owner, you better change a new diet that is good for it; you will gradually increase new food in a few weeks Essence
The nutrients
If your cat's body is healthy, the cats you feed are wide and have a lot of tricks, you don't have to add vitamins and minerals to the cat. If you add, these vitamins and minerals will only be discharged. However, for sick cats, it is sometimes beneficial to supplement these things: for example, iron pills can help recover from anemia cats. Such treatments should only be performed under the guidance of veterinarians. Vitamins and minerals are also beneficial for female cats who are pregnant or feeding.
Hawli can cats do not feed?
This can survive much longer than humans, because cats lose 40 % of their weight and do not die. 10 % of 10 %, generally fatal danger). It is known that under special circumstances, cats can still survive for a few weeks of not eating or drinking water. For example, a male cat named Chipus from Liverpool, Britain, was unintentionally installed in a machine component box and was transported to Moniabasa, Kenya. Four weeks later, when the box was opened in Africa, Chipus was still although thinner, but he was still alive. It is believed that it survives by eating some oils and culprit that is coated outside the machine and a very small water produced by the condensation.
Pre -packaged foods
The pre -packaged foods for cat -fed cats sold on the market are mainly three types of foods: canned meat, semi -wet food and dried food. Although these three types of foods are convenient for feeding, they should only be used as part of cats, not all cats. The ideal approach is to feed fresh food at least twice a week (see page 162). This is because if you intend to allow cats to live and live healthy for a long time, this kind of monopoly food cannot provide all the nutrients needed for cats. It is said that among these foods, many foods meet the protein content (25 % -30 %) in the specified cat food. However, like humans, cats should also eat fresh food to get enough vitamins and minerals. Furthermore, it is too monotonous to feed cats with only this kind of food. Even if some cats can tolerate this excessive monotonous, and in terms of nutritional value, the price of pre -packaged food is quite expensive. However, at some time, you may feel that you must use pre -packaged food as the only cat. As long as you feed for a few weeks instead of adulthood; and when you feed food, you should also feed a lot of water, and your cat will not tolerate it.
It you will find that the chemical preparations added to the processed foods in the processed foods and the similarities of the packaging foods that are eaten by others. I suspect that most of these things are to make the customers and cats of the store, not cats easier to accept. Of course, which food is the best, the most right to speak is consumers -cats. They will not be affected by advertising; they either like to taste or refuse to eat.
cans of food
The foods include meat, fish, salt, jelly, vitamin, chemical pigments, water, and grains. Most foods are made of fish, chicken, beef, rabbit meat, or animal organs. They contain 25 % to 30 % protein, which can be used as the main rations of cats. Can be used for canned foods. Because they have disinfected to store it. With a large amount of water, the process of canned vitamins will be reduced after the process of canned.
Dry foods
This biscuits include cereals, fish, meat, yeast slices, vitamins, fat and pigments. They are cheaper than canned or semi -wet foods, and are easier to store and carry. But there are the following shortcomings: low fat and protein content; and some people suspect that they can cause cats to suffer from cystitis (see p. 253). If you feed cats with dry food, you must let it drink water often.
The soft and humid foods
This particles contain meat, soybeans, fat, vitamins, preservatives, chemical pigments, and often thickeners and sugar. The moisture content accounts for more than 33 %. The nutritional value is not very high. Soft and humid foods are the main cats because they contain more than 25 % of the protein, and their fat content is low. This kind of food can be stored in silver foil bags, which can be stored, but it is not as long as the other two types of foods have been stored for a long time.

What kind of cat is best to raise?
This of cats
made the right choice
Once you have the desire to raise a cat, you have to make a decision on many issues. Pure breed cats are still non -purebred cats.
Why choose to raise a pure seed cat?
If you are interested in participating in cat exhibitions or breeding, you should buy a purebred cat. What kind of cats choose depends on personal hobbies. However, please keep in mind that long -haired cats need to sort out each day (*170), while Siamese cats and Berman cats demand the love of people, noise, and may be mature and faster than other cats. Choosing a purebred cat not only requires a healthy inspection for cats, but only through the eyes of experts can you identify the characteristics, quality, quality and the possibility of its future award -winning. Therefore, you should go to buy with a person who is very familiar with the variety of cats and fully understand what your hope you want to get a cat. Unfortunately, the price of purebred cats is very expensive. If you can't afford all the costs, there are two ways to reach a transaction: First, buy a cat with "pet quality", its characteristics may not meet the standards of participating in the cat exhibition, but in any case, this cat can become a cat can become a cat can become a cat can become a cat. Good pets. If you sign a breeding agreement, you can buy a cat with "exhibition quality"; at the scheduled time to return the cat to the seller for breeding. You should be agreed with the seller, who owns the kitten and write the agreement as a text.
Why choose non -purebred cats?
Generally speaking, the main purpose of raising cats is to accompany people. If this is your purpose, it doesn't make much sense to buy purebred cats. In particular, if you live in the city, stealing cat thieves often aims at stealing Persian cats and Siamese cats, let alone to raise pure cats. There are often many cheap hybrid cats that are available for ordinary families to raise cats.
Should I choose a male cat or a female cat?
In what I see, you can choose a male cat or a female cat who removes the ovary. Because both of these cats can also be an excellent pet. I suggest not to raise a male cat, because it will pee everywhere and make a pungent smell; it often goes out to wander, often fights, and will be injured or infected. For the same reason, the female cats who have not removed the ovary should not be raised. This kind of female cat often estrus at some time in the year. If you don't keep it at home, it may not be pregnant according to the wishes of the owner. The cats that remove the ovaries do not have these shortcomings, and they may make the cat closer to people.
Should I choose a kitten or an adult cat?
When buying pets, the petite and weak kitten is very cute. But it takes a lot of care, and it must train it to develop a hygiene habit. From a favorable perspective, kittens usually adapt to the new environment quickly. For many people, raising adult cats is a wise choice. If you work abroad all day, or when you feel that the kitten is too noisy, or it is difficult to train, you should develop an adult cat. If you have purchased an adult cat, you will be locked indoors in the first few days, otherwise it may try to return to the original owner's house.
Should I buy a cat or a pair of cats?
If you have a limited income or a small residence, it is impossible to buy a few cats. However, if every member of the family goes out during the day and only one cat is at home, it may be lonely, then you can buy two cats so that they can accompany each other.
This to buy healthy cats
The source of cats may have a lot of sources. It is a good way to recommend it by others, but what cat to buy depends on which one you decided to buy and how much you want. Before investigating the source of the cat, don't hurry to buy the cat back.
The cats who cultivate varieties of cats
If you have decided to buy purebred cats, you better buy it with people who specialize in breed cats. Although this is likely to spend expensive. Perhaps the local cat breeder club can also provide your breeder's name and address. Otherwise, you would rather visit the cat exhibition, and you will meet many people who cultivate cats. Although some cats may also be sold at the cat exhibition, it is best to go to the cat's house to see the whole cat. There, you can observe how the kittens are observed and the noise and excitement of leaving the cat exhibition.
buy a cat from a pet store
If you have other ways, I want to advise you not to go to the pet store to buy cats. Because kittens are particularly susceptible to disease and infection, and disease and infection are easy to spread in pet stores. If you are sure to buy a cat there, you must check the cat thoroughly. Cats sold in pet stores are usually reasonable.
This to buy cats from protecting animal organizations
The charity life institution is another convenient source of non -purebred cats. Usually you only need to spend a little money or even get a cat.
Is health certificates and vaccinations before buying cats, asking veterinarians for examination is an ideal method. If you want to buy expensive purebred cats, it is necessary to ask veterinarians to check. Please check the veterinarian and issue a written health certificate. If you get a kitten or adult cat from the Shengsheng Association, the veterinarian will be checked before transferring the cat to you. However, no matter where you get the cat, it is a priority to arrange veterinary examinations for cats as soon as possible after getting it. If you buy a kitten, you should make sure that the kitten has injected anti -cat enteritis and cat influenza vaccine (*238, 229) at least a week before purchasing. If you buy an adult cat, you must find out whether it has injected vaccines when the kitten is injected, and it will not be regularly injected with auxiliary agent that enhances the efficacy. Injecting vaccine and auxiliary agents must have a written proof of veterinarians. In addition, if you still have other cats, in order to make them not infected with leukemia (*259), the veterinarian should ask the newly bought cat to test the blood to prove that the result is negative.
Pure breed cat registration
Wen pure seed cats with five weeks, these cats should be registered under the name of the cat owner together with their hair color and parents of the cats. If you do not register, you will not be allowed to participate in the cat exhibition of purebred cats in the future.
Thising whether the cat's habits are good
Is when buying cats, you must find cats that are clever, friendly, naughty, and willing to be disciplined. If you buy a kitten, it is best to choose a robust, more courageous, and first -born cat; do not choose the smallest and most timid kitten in a nest, because the smallest cat is often easy to get sick, you may be due to the illness, you may be due to the illness. The cat's premature death is sad.
The cats you want to buy
No matter which kind of cat you want to raise or where you buy a cat, you must follow a golden family jade law: Be sure to study the health of the cat. Do not buy sick cats or cats that have not reached standard. If you propose to check the cat, don't buy it if you are rejected, because any responsible seller will understand it, and it is reasonable to check the new pets that are purchased thoroughly.
This cats used to wash their hands before, tease the cat for a while, and eliminate the cat's tension. In the entire inspection program, we must grab the cat's body steadily and gently to prevent the cat from escaping.
On how to check the kitten
Check the hair
This to touch the texture of the kitten quilt, whether it is smooth, is there any entanglement, and find a flea or other pests.
The ears
The kitten's ears should be cleaned and dry, and confirm that there is no earwax in the ear (*250).
Checking the eyes and nose
The third eyelid (*) cannot be prominent; the eyes should be cleaned and bright; the nose should be humid.
Suled the mouth and teeth
The healthy kittens are pink, the teeth are white, and the gums are not inflamed.
Su anal
The tail of the cat and find signs of diarrhea. The anus should be cleaned and no feces.
This abdomen
This touch below the cat's belly with one hand. The abdomen should be slightly round and not stiff. It is found that there is no lump (hernia), and then let the cats walk freely in order to see if it is lame.
*How to distinguish the sex of the kitten?
Although the gender of adult cats is easy to identify, it is not easy to distinguish the male and female of the kitten. During the inspection, the cat's tail was lifted and the holes below the anus. If the vagina and the anus are close, the two openings seem to be close to each other, and they can be determined as a little female cat. There is a dark and raised place under the anus of the kitten cat, which will develop into the penis under the testicles and the penis under the testicles in the future.
Pay content for time limit to check for freenAnswer 1. Keeping multiple levels of space at home. We humans basically move on the ground. If you leave the ground, you are paralyzed on the sofa to watch TV, or lying on the bed to sleep. But cats are not the same. They like complex environments. In addition to the ground that can be left, they also like to wander and rest on different heights such as the sofa, table, cabinet top, window sill, and shoveling officer. Moreover, cats like to occupy the high point, so the shoveling officer can arrange some highly scattered furniture at home to provide cats with multi -level activity space. 2. Prepare more cat supplies. I don’t know if you have imagined such a picture: living in a huge castle, there are beds everywhere to sleep, food and water can be enjoyed everywhere, there are fun things everywhere, you can everywhere, you can play everywhere. Play. We may be difficult to achieve, but we can let the cats at home achieve it! We may not be a big house, in fact, it is quite big for small and exquisite cats. The shoveling officer can put cat nests, food bowls, water bowls, cat sand pots, cat toys, cat climbing racks in many places in the house, so that they can use it everywhere, and you can plant some cat grass for the cats themselves It's okay to play.n3. Change the cat's nest and cat climbing position at any time, although the furnishings that remain unchanged can help cats get familiar with and trust the environment faster, the cat will lose interest over time. The shoveling officer can often change the position of the cat's nest and the cat climbing rack. Although the nest is still those nests, the shelf is still the shelf, but the replacement position can still attract the cat's attention. Found a place that cats prefer by the place where the cat climbing the rack. 4. Increasing the frequency of playing with cats, there are many shovel officers who have jobs or things to go out during the day. Tmall can only stay at home by themselves. Only at night, you can play with the shoveling officer for a while. Therefore, the shoveling officer may catch the cat for a long time out of the idea of compensation. In fact, cats are sprint players, and their concentration of everything can only maintain a small meeting, including playing. Therefore, when the shoveling officer is playing with cats, he should pay attention to the short duration of playing each time, and then play a few more times to make the cat more good when you play.n5. Increase the update frequency of cat toys. I believe everyone knows this -most of cats are three minutes of heat, and their interest in new things is fast. So sometimes cats lose interest in old toys and are eager to try new toys. In fact, there are also old cats. The favorite cat stick of Lele is bald, and basically a small iron stick. He still likes it. He often hides himself. Therefore, for the old toys, the shoveling officers can stay as much as possible, but they should also update the type of new toys frequently to let cats experience freshness.n1 morenBleak
