In previous articles, we all mentioned more or less that it is no longer as simple as simply raising a Chinese pastoral cat to catch mice. With the development of economy and the increase of people’s mental pressure, many people keep cats as pets, and their role has gradually changed from simple tool people to accompanying your friends and even family members.
The change of social status also requires careful care for cats from the previous semi-free-range situation, which is almost ignored, to sincere love for them. Not only do you prepare good imported cat food and high-quality cat litter for them, but even some miscellaneous snack toys, you must strive to do your best.
Regardless of some small toys, most of them cost about ten or twenty dollars, and there are only a few things going back and forth. Cats are not as intelligent as people, and even a laser pointer can make them play for a long time. What really needs to spend a lot of money are other products specially developed for cats.
For example, cat food accounts for a large part of all expenses for raising cats. Many people firmly believe that the best imported cat food must be used, followed by all kinds of canned cats, wet food, nutritional cream, hair cream, hair powder, powdered goat milk powder … At ordinary times, many friends will ask me with all kinds of strange goods on a treasure whether such things are worth buying for their own masters.
But do you know how many of these things are naked IQ taxes? How much of it is ostensibly hype, but it is useless at all, and may even bring irreversible harm to cats?
Today, I will use this article to tell you a few cases of goods that pay IQ tax.
The first thing to do is to send cheek powder.
I don’t know when, many cat owners began to hope that the bigger their cat’s face plates are, the better, because cats with big faces and plates will look particularly cute no matter what actions they do, just like some people will deliberately pursue the obesity of cats, and feel that the fatter cats will behave more innocently and be more comfortable to hold.
However, the size of a cat’s face plate depends on whether it can make gills. Unfortunately, there is a high probability that a cat will not make gills, and its face will always be a small V-face, which makes many shovel officers feel somewhat disappointed.
After disappointment, many people will be unwilling, and countless cat owners will start looking for products that can make cats hair gills. At this time, there is a product that will inevitably attract their eyes-hair gills powder.
In fact, the so-called hair cheek powder is a complete IQ.
First of all, let’s learn what hair cheeks are.
Let’s be clear, hair gills are the only sign of sexual maturity for male cats, that is to say, only male cats have the possibility of hair gills, and female cats are absolutely impossible!
If your little female cat’s face plate is getting bigger and bigger, you should not secretly rejoice that you have found the treasure, but should send the little female cat to the hospital to check whether she has any diseases.
In addition, even male cats don’t have 100% hair gills, and many times hair gills are determined according to the cat species.
Some cats are very easy to get gills, such as Ying Shao and Jia Fei. They are born with big faces. It can be said that gilling has won the starting line genetically, while some breeds, such as Siam or common Chinese pastoral cats, are difficult to get gills, and often have a delicate small V face.
There is another situation that will also cause the male cat not to have gills, so the cat has been sterilized before the first estrus of the male cat. Such a cat will never show signs of sexual maturity such as gills.
From the above popular science, we can see that hair cheeks are totally doomed by heaven, and it has nothing to do with what you eat and wear the day after tomorrow.
Next, let’s take a look at the most common so-called hair cheek powder on the market, as well as various lecithin with hair cheek function.
If you study their ingredient list carefully, you will find that some tonic substances such as fish oil, vitamin sulfonate, vitamins, and even inexplicable ginseng extract are added to force ripening and hair growth.
By the way, the principle of using such a tonic to ripen the cheeks seems to have the same effect as that of human taking aphrodisiac drugs to strengthen the yang. As we all know, human beings have not solved the problem of their own aphrodisiac, how can they solve the problem of cats ripening the cheeks across races?
If the above is still incomprehensible, it is taken for granted that other businesses seem to have some conscience. For example, the most common hair-cheek lecithin is to add beautiful egg yolk lecithin to it, so that cats will make their hair smooth and fluffy after eating it, and then achieve the feeling of looking cheeky.
I don’t know if this kind of food will make a big cat-faced plate, but the face of the merchant is quite big.
If cat owners really have a soft spot for cats with hair gills, they should choose the right sex and breed at the beginning of buying or adopting cats, or directly buy adult cats with hair gills, instead of buying IQ taxes such as hair gills powder to cause secondary harm to cats and themselves.
If hair cheek powder is just a cheat of your money, and the ingredients in it will not cause too much harm to your cat, and even give your cat beautiful hair, then the next step is like IQ tax, which will cost your money and your cat’s life naked.
That’s forbidden love powder.
I have talked in detail about the influence of sterilization on cats before, and many cat owners insist that they should not sterilize cats, so they choose to let cats estrus once a year, but the destructive power brought by cats during estrus is unbearable, and some cat owners have seen such a product-forbidden powder.
The so-called forbidden powder is naturally given to a cat in estrus, which can inhibit the cat’s estrus and make it quiet. This method seems familiar and the effect is even more amazing, but is it really useful?
I randomly found two of the most popular forbidden powders sold on a treasure online. After consulting their ingredient list, I found that it was actually the traditional Chinese medicine route. Most of the ingredients were Chinese herbal medicines such as Poria cocos, Lily, Polygonum multiflorum … and some vitamins and nicotinamide were added.
Curious, I carefully checked the effects of these Chinese herbal medicines, and the results undoubtedly showed calming the nerves and calming the nerves. In other words, the so-called forbidden powder you bought is actually equivalent to a bottle of sleeping pills.
After seeing the way of taking it, it is even more eye-popping. It is actually taken twice a day, 5 grams each time.
5 grams, so many doses of Chinese herbal medicines with sleeping effect are all given to the cat. With such a large dose, don’t say that your cat will no longer be in estrus, I am afraid that it will directly pass out.
Moreover, this kind of Chinese herbal medicine was originally used on people, and when it was used on cats, it also had great toxic and side effects. Many people reported that after giving cats such so-called Chinese herbal medicine forbidden powder, many cats developed severe renal failure and even died suddenly on the spot.
At this point, there must be many netizens who are lucky. Since the forbidden powder of Chinese medicine is very harmful to cats, what about the forbidden powder of western medicine?
Then let’s turn our attention to an imported forbidden powder with a very high sales volume. At first glance, the ingredient list is all incomprehensible nouns, real western medicine ingredients, and does not contain any Chinese medicine.
And the most component of these so-called western medicine forbidden powder is megestrol acetate.
Megestrol acetate, such things do have a certain effect on inhibiting the estrus of pets, and many pet hospitals will also inject such drugs into pets under certain circumstances.
It’s just that megestrol acetate is a controlled drug. Only when it is very serious and uncontrollable will it be forcibly injected into pets to calm them down, because the toxic side effects of this medicinal material are very great.
And if you take megestrol acetate for a long time, it will do great harm to the cat’s body, which is very similar to the long-term use of contraceptives by humans. It’s the principle that drugs are toxic in three ways, not only for humans, but also for cats.
Long-term drug prohibition of estrus will make female cats suffer from diseases such as uterine empyema, uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts. Male cats will suffer from diseases such as urinary system occlusion and testicular tumors.
At the same time, I want to emphasize that sentence here. If you choose not to sterilize your pet, then be prepared that you and your neighbors can tolerate the endless howling and urinating when the cat is in estrus. If you can’t stand this problem, it is better to take the cat for sterilization, which is extremely beneficial to both people and cats.
In fact, it is useless to buy something like this, and it may even be harmful to the IQ tax of cats. With the large growth of cats as pets, the pet cat industry is also developing day by day, and countless people have joined the industry one after another, using the love of cat owners for cats to force cat owners to pay various IQ taxes.
In the face of such a severe market environment, cat owners need to practice a pair of golden eyes to distinguish the authenticity of all kinds of new things.
Only cat owners keep their eyes open, and everything should ask themselves whether they really need such things. If so, is the principle of this so-called new product scientific? What are its ingredients? Does everything have more advantages or disadvantages for cats?
Only when the cat owner controls his own line of defense will his wallet and the weak life of the cat be further guaranteed.
