1. Raising a cat is like raising a child. If you have already raised a cat and feel that it is too lonely at home, and want to find a companion for it, it is actually unnecessary.
Cats are solitary animals. The older they get, the stronger their sense of territory. If you rashly bring back a cat with a strange smell, it will be uncomfortable and angry.
If you have already developed an emotional foundation with your cat and the cat is almost an adult, it is not recommended to bring a new cat home.
If you still bring a new cat home, there are two possibilities: 1. Slowly accept the setting of another cat to play together; 2. Fight each other, refuse to give in, and the cat will die or be stressed, and it will take a long time to recover (true story).
So if you want to raise two or more cats, you should raise them together from childhood.
Cats still need the owner’s full love and companionship the most (in the eyes of cats, you are just a big cat who can’t take care of yourself), and its favorite food.
So if you already have a cat, then give it all your love and attention, which is the best for the cat.
2. Cats need a physical examination every year after they are three years old.
Here is a conversion table for cats and human ages. A three-year-old cat is equivalent to a 28-year-old human.
Cats have strong endurance, and their owners usually can’t tell if they are sick. Moreover, due to the language barrier between humans and cats, even if they are found to be sick and taken to the hospital, the doctor will have to conduct a comprehensive physical examination to know what disease they have.
After the cat is three years old, it has reached its youth and middle-aged period. It is not as lively and active as when it was a child, and the amount of water it drinks may not be much. At this time, you should pay attention to its health. It is necessary to have a full physical examination every year.
3. The phrase “choice is greater than effort”
means that the cat you choose at the beginning will determine its and your future living conditions. I have seen too many cats bought carelessly and irregularly, and finally various diseases broke out, such as cat rhinotracheitis, infectious peritonitis, heart disease, etc., and time, money and energy were exhausted. Even if they can be saved, they will spend the rest of their lives in worry, fearing that they will get sick and die one day.
This kind of thing has happened to me a lot. It is the result of buying a cat without thinking and being cheated. If you want to choose a healthy cat, you can read my article

4. Follow the laws of nature and don’t do it artificially.
I have seen some videos of pet bloggers wearing tight clothes, blush and panda eye makeup for cats in order to attract attention. I think any parent who knows a little about the habits of cats will not do this.
Cats are known for their sensitive limbs and agile posture. Wearing clothes will restrict their activities and jumps. If they only wear clothes for a short time to take pictures, it’s okay, but wearing them for a long time in a day is a kind of restraint for them. For example, if you let you wear a tight sweater in the hot summer, how would you feel if you wore it all day?
So it is better to follow the laws of nature when raising a cat. It has settled in your home and accompanied you through spring, summer, autumn and winter. Don’t force it to arrange something that goes against nature.
5. If you raise a cat, please be responsible for its life.
Some people hastily raise cats just because they are cute. When a cat is young, it is lively, cute, clingy and active, and everyone likes it. But when it grows up and is no longer lively and clingy and likes to be alone, will you still like it? When it is sick and needs your time and money, do you still have the patience to take care of it? When you have become accustomed to its existence, will you still pay attention to it as much as you did at the beginning?
A cat has only you in its life for more than ten years. If you want to raise a cat, please be cautious. You are responsible for its cuteness and liveliness in the first few years, and also for its aging, dullness and illness in the last few years. Only those who have seen through the life of a cat are worthy of raising a cat.
