Talk about some common problems in raising cats.
The little nursing cat who just got home should disinfect the environment in advance (buy some pet disinfectant or 84 disinfectant spray, clean the room and spray it after a while, wipe the utensils and wash it, and basically finish the disinfection). The reason why I introduced how to disinfect is because I used to have a cat, and everyone said disinfection, but I just didn’t understand how to disinfect.
It is best to prepare the brand of cat food and cat litter for the original owner’s home. Of course, if you feel that you have the ability to provide better quality food than the original owner’s home, you can buy good food in advance.
I usually buy food in the team of the Douban team, and the person in charge of the team usually contacts through WeChat and delivers it through salted fish. This is more authentic and cheaper. Of course, if you have money, you can choose a regular shop authorized by a cat food brand on a treasure. What do you think? Generally, the store with a power of attorney posted on the item details page should not be fake, or how can you tell by searching in Zhihu?
I think it’s just as much food as you have, and the range is the best. It must be right to spend the rest of the money on grain. Why? In this way, cats have high immunity and fewer diseases, which can save you thousands or even tens of thousands of invisible expenses.
Cat food I heard that there are natural good food in China. Someone recommended Netease, but I haven’t fed it myself. Because I have the ability to eat better, but I still think that if you are willing to spend some money, just eat imported food. It’s not that the import is good, but that the quality will indeed pass the customs. Cats and carnivores will inevitably have uneven nutrition when feeding food. It’s for the convenience of the owner, and if you give it bad food, isn’t it a drag on your body?
Then some people think it is unnecessary to eat so well. I personally understand this behavior. Why? You think, some people in this world are full of food and clothing, and some people are hungry in the streets. If your home is in the countryside, you keep a cat purely because you like it and are practical, such as catching a mouse or something. Then even without feeding at all, the cat will hunt by itself. Of course, if you ask him to be self-reliant, then don’t think of him lying in your arms like a obedient pet and don’t worry about all kinds of bacteria and parasites.
After talking about cat food, I suggest that the brand of cat food should be selected by myself in Zhihu. Hahaha, many bloggers have introduced it, and I myself have chosen the food that I think is affordable and good for cats.
Now it’s time to choose the cat litter box, and I just regret it very much. I must buy the top litter box, the big one and the biggest one. Because it really saves money, your cat will see the wind grow, and when it buries shit all over its paws, you will collapse. If the litter basin is bigger, the litter is thicker, and the excrement is shoveled more diligently, your cat will fall in love with burying excrement.
Cat litter here, I have a suggestion to mix bentonite with tofu cat litter. Bentonite covers the excrement tightly, and tofu cat litter absorbs water well. I usually buy a lot of bentonite, which is cheap and easy to use. Tofu cat litter is more expensive and better in grade, so it is especially cost-effective and doesn’t hurt.
What about the cat bowl? I suggest that the basin be bigger, not plastic! You can buy ceramic and stainless steel directly, but don’t buy plastic, because it will blacken the chin, affect the cat’s face value and be bad for the cat. My basin is about the size of a small basin, so it is more convenient to drink water, and it likes to drink water more. It urinates many times a day, and there is no need for any automatic water feeder at all, mainly because my cat loves to drink water itself.
Don’t put your cat food in the corner, try to choose a distance from the corner, so that the cat can eat at 360 degrees, because you don’t know how your cat likes to eat. It can only be eaten in one direction, and it will be very uncomfortable. And if conditions permit, cat food and cat litter should be separated a little further (the room is smaller, and it should be separated as much as possible)
The first thing to do when you bring a cat home is not to slap it, but to put it in a litter box and tell it where the toilet is. Then, you can let it go. Because cats have to get familiar with the new environment. It begins to contact your family with fear and anxiety.
Please remember two things: cats are really not obedient and sensible from the beginning. All the obedient cats you see grow up little by little.
And you have to believe and forgive yourself. It is normal to have conflicts with cats, want to hit cats, want to lose cats, and want to give them away. Because this is all a running-in process. That’s not normal, that is, you pick up the cat without thinking clearly, and you lose the cat immediately when you find its shortcomings.
My cat and I were in dire straits for about two months. At that time, I didn’t dare to say that I was a cat lover. It was a small ball, with diarrhea and hunger strike, and it was not obedient and wouldn’t be touched. I even had the idea of throwing it away. I bought it anyway. But before that, I really loved cats and wanted a cat to accompany me from its birth to its end, so I bought it.
Later, I figured out many problems. The most terrible thing about raising a cat is to expose the dark side of your heart. Because you really will find your desire for control, your impatience and your shortcomings by raising cats. Some people found it and changed it slowly, while others refused to accept the push to the cat. On the contrary, I never flatter cats as princesses and parents. I think the relationship with cats is partners and children. It provides a cure, and I provide a living environment for it. Children don’t think their mothers are ugly, and cats don’t dislike their poor and stuttering drinking and love. Cats are really flying cat!
So, hahaha, believe in time and believe in yourself. After raising a cat for a long time, I found out why other people’s cats were not my cats at first. It’s like raising another obedient cat. Later, my cat is the best cat in the world. I love it and it loves me. We are unique to each other.
