My tabby cat Doupi is healthy and flexible.

My tabby cat Doupi is healthy and flexible.

I bought the yellow tabby cat on Xianyu for 160 yuan. It was already 6 months old when I brought it here. I have kept it for two months and it is now 8 months old. I feel that Chinese tabby cats are quite maintainable. For example,

1. He is healthy. Doupi in my house does not have ear mites, rhinitis, or any gastrointestinal diseases that cats are prone to. Occasionally, he will have soft stools for two days after the food is changed, but only for two days. A few days ago, I accidentally pinched his hand when closing the door. I was almost scared to death. I thought about observing him for 3 hours (waiting for the car to drive back) and taking him to the hospital if there was anything abnormal.

I felt that he was really in pain and walked with a limp. I kept licking my hand. But after more than an hour, I felt that he was better. He fell asleep after feeding him canned food and snacks, and jumped up and down at home again at night.

2. He is flexible. The little fat man dances on the table and parkours on the shelf every day and never knocks anything off.

3. He is smart. Sometimes I let him outside to bask in the sun, and he will never go far. He will wait for me at the intersection to pick up the express delivery. Moreover, he has less stress response than other cats when I take him out. When many friends come to my house, he will not hide in fear, but will play with them.

Every time he pees at home, he will be locked in the toilet, and he will meow very loudly: meow~, and he will meow even louder when I point my phone at him (maybe because I often send videos of him crying to friends, and my friends will persuade me to let him out). If I lie on the bed and pretend to be asleep, he will tentatively call: meow? meow?. As soon as I move, he meows very loudly again~.

4. He is adaptable. When I first got him, he woke up at six in the morning. He was noisy at home, and I would kick him out of the room if I couldn’t stand it. But he quickly adapted to my routine. When I opened my eyes around 9:00, he would put his paw on my face (he usually sleeps on the pillow at the head of my bed), and then I couldn’t take a nap.

He didn’t refuse to eat, go to the toilet, or make random noises in his new home. He adapted very well immediately.

However, you also have to accept his

1. His wildness ~

2. He won’t get fat cheeks ~ no matter how fat he is, he still has a pointed face

3. He is talkative ~ Chinese rural cats love to talk more than other cats. After you go out, he can meow for half an hour. You should also chat with him in the morning after getting up. Once he poops, he will keep calling until you help him scoop it up (the one who scoops the poop should hurry up, scoop the poop while it’s hot, hurry up! Hurry up! It will cool down in a while) Finally

, any cat has its advantages and disadvantages, which is also related to the environment in which he grew up when he was a child ~ When you pick up a cat, you should ask clearly about the cat’s origin (especially rural cats). If it grows up with humans since childhood, the degree of domestication may be slightly higher. What you can do is try to treat him well, he will sense it and become a cute and clingy little cat. There are purebred cats with bad personalities, and there are rural cats with good tempers. Rural cats should not be labeled as wild.

What you should seriously consider when raising a cat is not what breed the cat is, but you should ask yourself:

1. Will there be room for a kitten around you in the next 10-20 years?

2. He may get sick. Are you willing to spend money to treat and take care of him?

3. Can your partner/your future partner accept him? Can you continue to accept cats after you have children?
