cat are taken home

There are more and more friends raising cats, and they are also getting younger and younger. Many friends have no experience in raising cats and dogs before, so we summarized for our friends how to raise cats in the first month when they are most likely to get sick after taking them home? Because the content is very complicated, we divide the article into two parts. The first part mainly talks about the preparation at home before picking up the cat, and the second part mainly explains where the cat needs to observe and how to raise it when it gets home.

The first important thing to ensure health must be to select a healthy cat. When selecting a cat, you need to look at where to ensure that there is no disease. Two days before choosing a cat, it is better to put the items needed by the kitten at home in advance.

The items that cats will definitely need after arriving at home include cat litter, cat toilet, cat food, safety, stress reaction, possible poisoning at home, cat nest, cat climbing frame and cat scratch board. In addition, many pet owners will neglect to buy “cat plague and cat herpesvirus test paper” in advance, so they often delay buying after encountering diseases, or use several times the price for testing.

A timid kitten

Many newlyweds will complain after they pick up the cat and come home. The cat will hide under the bed or in the cabinet and will not let them touch it. This is a very normal performance. Cats are very timid animals. Especially in a few days after changing a new environment, they will hide in the dark and carefully observe whether the surrounding environment is safe. During this period, the cat’s resistance decreases and the body becomes worse. Therefore, it is very important to quickly overcome the stress reaction.

Facing the stress and fear reaction of kittens, we will start from the character and physiology of cats. The thick curtains will be drawn in advance. The cat thinks it is safe to be dark, so when the room is too bright, they will feel there is no place to hide. This is also the reason why they usually drill into the cabinet under the bed. We can close the windows and doors of the bedroom and close the curtains, so that the room is in a dark situation. People can leave the room temporarily, so that they feel safe in the bedroom and can be relieved to explore.

We recommend that every new cat owner or moving friend prepare a bottle of plug in Felix. This French felon is very effective in pacifying cats and is often used in the United States. When the kittens or new cats come to the house and show fear and irritability, they can plug in Felix. Under normal circumstances, they will soon calm down and resume normal life.

In many houses in the south, the balconies are not closed, so cats often fall down. Friends who have new cats need to close the balconies as much as possible. It is meaningless to just add barbed wire under the handrails. The bouncing power of the cat is very amazing. The handrail and windowsill height of more than 1m can be easily jumped up, so screen windows need to be installed for the safety of windows, and the balcony is best closed.

Cat food and litter

In addition to hiding when the kitten gets home, the first thing is probably not to eat and drink, but to go to the toilet. The toilet is very important on the first day when a kitten arrives at home. First, it can be proved that there is no fear of urinary system disease due to nervousness. Second, it is easy to form a habit and avoid urinating on the sofa and bed after excreting in the correct cat toilet. Cats have high requirements for toilets. First, they must be big enough to turn around in the toilet. They can urinate and defecate for many times and still have room to go in and out. Second, they must ensure a sufficient sense of security. We must buy the largest closed cat toilet to ensure that when the pet owner does not clean the toilet in time, the cat can find a clean area to continue to excrete. If they think the toilet is full of excrement and there is no room, they will choose to urinate in other parts of the house. Cats feel that they are most vulnerable to attack when they go to the toilet, so the toilet needs to be placed in a stable and quiet corner of the room. The tilted and swaying toilet will make them feel insecure and unwilling to enter. In the same way, various noises in areas where people frequently move will make them feel unsafe when they go to the toilet and reduce the number of times they go to the toilet. As time goes by, stones and inflammation will appear due to less urine.

The selection of cat litter is relatively simple. The most important thing is the dust rate. Corn cat litter, tofu cat litter and crystal cat litter are the first choices. If you choose bentonite cat litter, you must see the dust rate on the packaging. In the United States, the dust free rate of bentonite cat litter generally needs to be reduced to below 99.95%. Many domestic cat litter are not of good quality, so they will not be marked.

The kitten went home to hide, went to the toilet, and had to eat. The choice of cat food upset many newcomers, because they saw too many navy advertisements, so they did not know what cat food was best to eat. The kittens will be weaned for 30-45 days. In order to sell as soon as possible, many cat houses tend to wean in advance, leading to a decrease in the resistance of the kittens. Therefore, cats who take them home need to eat kitten milk cakes. For kittens who are not fully used to weaning, pet goat milk powder can be used to soften the kitten milk cakes. One thing to note here is that the soaked cat food can only be kept for 2 hours at most and must be thrown away. The longer it is kept, the more likely it will deteriorate. Therefore, it is better to eat less and eat more meals without mastering the cat’s appetite. Don’t soak too much each time to avoid waste.
