Personally, I think blue cats have a gentle and clingy personality, and there’s no need to buy a cat cage. (Ps: Several people around me also raise blue cats, and the kittens didn’t hide out of fear at all when they got home.)
Before bringing the cat home, I did some research online and was worried that the cat wouldn’t adapt and would hide when it first arrived…
However, I was completely overthinking. The cat was not only not scared or shy but also very clingy. As soon as it got home, it ran wildly and entered every room to explore.
When it got tired from playing, it would directly climb onto me and sleep.
I don’t know how you bought your blue cat. I bought mine from a cattery through a pet store. Let me share my experiences and lessons.
When I went to the pet store to pick up the cat, the pet store didn’t prepare any of the cat’s previous cat food for me, nor did they tell me what brand it was. They just asked me to buy the most expensive kitten food of Briquette in the store. I also bought a pack of lysine for cats, a box of probiotics, and a box of tofu cat litter.
But!
The cat was so small that it was probably not even two months old (they told me it was more than two and a half months old when I bought it). It couldn’t chew the Briquette kitten food at all. It only ate a few times a day, just a few grains each time. It was my fault for being careless at that time. I thought kittens ate so little. I even soaked the cat food in goat milk powder for the cat, but the cat didn’t like the soaked food. As a result, the cat got thinner and thinner in a week… It really broke my heart.
If you have the conditions, you can buy better – quality imported high – end cat foods like Orijen, Solid Gold, Wellness, Avoderm, etc. If you are like me, just starting out in society or a student with average financial conditions, you can buy Royal Babycat Food.
Now I’ve changed the cat’s food to babycat food, and the cat is very happy to eat it.
The cat is almost three months old now. It eats nutritional paste and probiotics every day. It drank goat milk at first, but now it doesn’t. It has eggs once or twice a week, chicken breast and chicken drumsticks two or three times a week, and canned food once or twice a week. Its weight has increased by one jin rapidly in a week.
The cattery did an internal deworming for the cat before I brought it back. It is recommended that you go to the pet hospital to do both internal and external deworming at the same time. Because my cat didn’t do external deworming in time, it has a bit of skin problems. It’s either not cat ringworm but has scabs.
The cat also needs to be vaccinated. My cat needs to get three doses of Feline Rhinotracheitis, Calicivirus, and Panleukopenia Vaccine (FVRCP) and one dose of rabies vaccine. Currently, it has received two doses of FVRCP.
So, of course, you need to prepare a pet carrier. There are many on Taobao.
You also need to be prepared to clean the cat’s ear mites frequently.
At first, the cat didn’t like to sleep in the cat bed and insisted on sleeping with me. But I was afraid of rolling over and crushing it while sleeping, so I made up my mind to close it in the living room. I put a hot – water bag in the cat bed, and it will go in and sleep.
Be more patient with your cat, and it will trust you very soon.
That’s all I’ve summarized for now. I hope it can be helpful to you.
