1. Common sense of cat raising
Cat raising experts have a smart, beautiful and lovely cat. It is indeed a pleasing toy. With patient care and maintenance, it will become even more beautiful. It can be regarded as a matter of self-cultivation.
How to raise your cat to entertain yourself? Lisar, a veterinarian at Taifu Life Engineering Wuhan Co., Ltd., is willing to discuss this interesting cat-raising guide with everyone. 1. Cat’s habits: Cats have keen vision, their pupils adjust quickly, and they can adapt to strong light changes, so they can see clearly even at night.
Cats’ hearing is more than twice that of humans. They have strong auditory function and strong ability to locate sounds. Cats' inner ears have a very strong balancing function, so it is rare to see motion sickness in cats.
Cats’ olfactory function is comparable to that of dogs. Cats rely on their sense of smell to determine the location of food storage and distinguish the nature of food. Kittens rely on their sense of smell to find their mother’s vagina, and female cats rely on their sense of smell to identify kittens. A cat's tail can repel flies and mosquitoes and maintain body balance.
A cat’s whiskers are a tool for detecting roads. In dark and narrow aisles, a cat’s whiskers can identify and sense objects through slight pressure changes in the air. After a cat’s whiskers are torn off, they must be pulled out. Conducive to the growth of new hair. Cats are the most clean animals among domestic animals.
It will not defecate anywhere, but will dig dirt to cover its feces after defecation. It refuses to eat leftovers or eat in unclean food bowls. It likes to lick its thin coat to decorate itself. As an owner, you must create a clean living environment for your cat and clean and disinfect cat utensils regularly.
Do not use any non-toxic cleaning fluid when cleaning. It is recommended to use HB-101, which is extracted from powerful antibacterial plants such as pine, fir, and plantain. It has strong bacteria-removing ability and is not harmful to cats.
Cats have the characteristics of wild cats. They are lonely and free. Cats rarely live in groups of three or five. They like to delineate their own territories. They all adopt an indifferent attitude towards matters that do not concern them.
Cats are difficult to tame, and they refuse to be forced to learn skills. But they are very jealous, not only angry at their companions for being favored by their owners, but even angry at their owners for favoring their children.
Cats are nocturnal animals and they like to stay in clean places to rest during the bright day. Owners should respect the cat’s habits and try to feed the cat at dawn and night to facilitate its digestion.
2. Nutritional needs of cats The nutrients needed for the growth and development of cats include protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, water, etc. They are roughly the same as other animals, but the proportions of nutrients are different. 1. Protein: Protein is the material basis for body growth and development and tissue repair. Various meats, eggs, milk, fish foods and animal offal are rich in protein. Adult cats require protein per kilogram of body weight every day. The required amount is about 2~3 grams, and the protein requirement will increase during the growth and development period and lactation period.
In addition, protein quality is also important for cat food. Only those proteins that are digested and absorbed by the body have certain nutritional value.
Of course, feeding cats more protein is not always better. Excessive protein will not only increase the burden on the liver and kidneys, but may also lead to a decline in the cat’s physical fitness and create conditions for the invasion of diseases. 2. Carbohydrates: Carbohydrates include starch and cellulose, the former can be converted into sugar in the body.
Provide the energy needed by the body, which can promote gastrointestinal motility. Cats can fully digest and absorb the starch in corn and wheat. The cooked rice is delicious and cute for cats.
These foods can be used as the main part of cat food, and other nutrients can be added on this basis. Cats like dry food, so avoid adding too much water to the food to make it liquid.
3. Fat: Fat is a high-energy substance that can produce a large amount of energy after eating, promote the absorption and utilization of fat-soluble vitamins, and make the cat's coat smooth and smooth. The lack of fat in the food can lead to an increase in cat dander and affect the cat's reproductive development.
Adult cats need about 1 gram of digestible fat per kilogram of body weight per day. Excessive consumption of fat will make cats obese and cause nutritional and metabolic disorders, such as yellow fat disease, adipose tissue inflammation, etc.
4. Vitamins: Although the body's demand for vitamins is small, their physiological functions are great. They mainly control and regulate the body's metabolism. There are many types of vitamins, which can be divided into water-soluble vitamins A, D, E, K and fat-soluble vitamins B and C according to their solubility.
Various vitamin deficiencies will cause different symptoms and affect the normal growth and development of cats. But generally speaking, as long as the cat is provided with sufficient protein and fat and the feeding is reasonable, vitamin deficiency will not occur.
5. Minerals: The minerals needed by the body mainly include calcium, phosphorus, sodium, ammonia, potassium, magnesium, iron, copper, iodine, manganese, zinc, cobalt, etc. They are the main components of animal tissue cells, the basic substances for maintaining acid-base and osmotic pressure, and are also the main components of many coenzymes and prosthetic groups.
Minerals are very important for the growth and development of cats. Once lacking, it will cause anorexia, vomiting, diarrhea, rickets, slow growth, sparse coat, miscarriage, dystocia, etc. in cats. When cats have various symptoms due to mineral deficiency, treatment and scientific diet are very important.
Taifu Life Engineering (Wuhan) Co., Ltd. introduces mineral plant-based nutritional health care powder specially developed for pets from Japan, which has no toxic or side effects on the body (has obtained the approval from the Hubei Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention) For the acute toxicity test report, please browse the "Experiment Report" column). Just mix 0.6 grams of powder or 1 ml of pet-specific HB-101 liquid into cat food every day to meet the various minerals and trace elements needed by the body. , ensure the health of cats and improve immunity and disease resistance. The last thing we need to talk about is water. Cats are relatively thirsty, but water is also an indispensable substance in cats’ lives.
Moisture can regulate metabolism and affect growth and development. Water helps in the transportation, digestion, and absorption of nutrients, the elimination of metabolic waste, and the regulation of body temperature. Endocrine regulation is also inseparable from the participation of water.
Adult cats need 40 to 60 ml of water per kilogram of body weight per day, and kittens need 60 to 80 ml of water per kilogram of body weight per day. Nursing cats require more water. As cats age, their water intake decreases. If a cat drinks too much water, nephritis, diabetes, etc. should be considered.
Adding 0.5 to 1 ml of HB-101 to the cat’s drinking water container every day can ensure a healthy life for the cat. Its effect is to make it less likely to get sick and get lice.
3. Feeding and management of cats In the process of feeding cats, attention should be paid to regular and quantitative feeding.
2. Tips on raising cats
Cats are easier to raise. Even if they live in a building and are not allowed outside, they must be vaccinated on time.
Just do it once a year. When cats are first brought home, they have different personalities. Some will hide and some will follow you around. At this time, you need to determine the place where it eats and lead it there with cat food in front of it. In that place, put the kitten's head in the cat's food bowl, where there is still water, and let it put some water on its mouth. It will know later that the bowl for the cat to drink water should not be made of plastic. Kittens are very sensitive. , the plastic smells too much, I usually look for other places to drink water, and slowly develop bad habits, but the cat food basin is plastic, it’s okay, try to train it to eat cat food, I recommend Joy, very economical, Dalian The price is only 10 yuan per catty.
Wei Jia’s is a bit too salty. I found that my cat likes to drink water when eating Wei Jia. Then the next step is to get cat litter for it.
It is best to use an open cat litter box with a small cover around it, which is sold in pet stores. The ones in the store below have a larger coverage, because cats like to bring litter when they jump out. Just buy ordinary ones. You don’t need crystal sand or anything. Don’t put too much, just one-half or one-third of the basin will be enough, but it must be changed frequently. If it is always wet, the cat will hold back its urine and won’t like to go, and * **, it is easy to get infected.
After the location of the cat's litter is determined, you should also hold it there to familiarize yourself with it. Squat down with it, hold its front paws, and draw the sand to mark it, and it will know it. Short-haired cats really don’t need to be bathed very much. Occasionally feed them some liver, chicken liver, etc., once a week plus shrimp and fish from home. Feed them occasionally. If the cat is used to raising it when it is young, it will not put it in the trash can when it is older. And go to the kitchen to steal food.
My cat’s food bowl never runs out of food. Also, if it is a kitten, I suggest you not to have too much fun with it when it was a child, especially tabby and black cats, which will become very wild when they grow up, and you will not be able to control it.
There are also cat toys. You can play with just a ball, a candy wrapper, or a plastic bag. You don’t play much with the toys after you buy them. Why not buy a mirror and reflect the light to entertain it? It will be very interesting.
At least all the cats in my family have been like this. As long as the mirror reflects light on the wall, they will pounce on it.
I don’t think short-haired cats can use catnip. My long-haired cats also used it before, and they said it had any effect on repelling hair, but I didn’t realize it at all. I used to buy a small bottle for 25 yuan. , make a little bit, and it will be very happy, but I often forget to feed it. Also, if the kitten comes home, it must be exposed to the sun, otherwise it will cause eye problems. If it is not vaccinated, there will be a hidden danger of rhinotracheitis.
Although cats are said to have independent personalities, I also recommend raising two together as companions, because when they are busy at work, they will not be naughty or make trouble when they are at home. When I was raising a dog alone, toilet paper and plastic bags were always all over the floor at home, which made me think that I was hallucinating and raising a dog. Later, when we raised a dog as a pair, this didn't happen. Also clean.
Cutting your nails regularly will not damage your furniture. I always cut it with nail clippers, but I have to be careful because there is pink flesh under the hard nail. Don’t cut it. When cutting, you need to distract it. Stop when you have nothing to do and scratch its head and of the chin.
After raising it for a long time, it will understand what you say. That’s all it can remember for the time being. If there is still something you don’t understand, you can PM me. Cat ownership is a lot of fun, I wish you and your cat a happy life together.
3. Common knowledge about raising cats
Do not give milk to kittens. Milk contains lactose, and some kittens lack lactose digestive enzyme or lactase, so they are prone to chronic diarrhea. Some kittens are allergic to milk protein, and the result is chronic diarrhea.
Although not all kittens will be like this after drinking milk, for the health of the kittens, it is recommended not to drink milk.
p>
Go to a pet store to buy special cat milk powder. Dog milk powder is also acceptable. After mixing, the milk must be heated to 38 degrees and the temperature of the cat's blood should be the same before feeding the kitten.
An eight-week-old kitten should be able to lick the milk powder mixed in a shallow dish on its own. If not, it needs to be fed with a syringe. The specific method is to gently hold the kitten's neck. , and then gently put the syringe into the kitten's mouth. Be careful not to move too violently, otherwise the kitten will panic. Push the syringe gently, and the milk will slowly drip into the kitten's mouth.
If you can’t buy cat milk powder, it is recommended that you use baby rice cereal and mix it with some minced meat or fish for babies. If you don’t want to buy it, you can also chop the fish and meat very finely yourself. Mix it in rice cereal and give it to the kitten, plus a drop of children's vitamins (just one drop a day is enough).
At two months, while feeding, the cat food can be soaked in water to soften it. After feeding, you can also put some cat food that has not been soaked in water next to it. Kittens will sometimes chew it by themselves.
For cat food, you can now choose kitten cat food, which can be used after the cat reaches one year old. Switch to adult cat food.
After three months, when the kitten is able to eat solid food, it should be fed more dry food. Wet food can easily cause tooth decay or dental calculus in cats. Dry food can help to grind teeth. Clean the remaining food on the teeth.
While eating dry food, keep clean drinking water nearby. Generally, you eat three to four meals a day. You can also put cat food and water aside when the kitten is hungry. It will eat by itself.
Now you have to teach the kitten to use cat litter. You can put the cat litter in the basin, and then when you see the kitten wants to defecate, take the kitten with you. Go to the side and dig in the cat sand with your hands. Kittens are very smart and can figure it out at a glance.
When the kitten raises its tail and squats down, you can know that the kitten is about to urinate. At this time, you should quickly put the kitten into the cat litter box.
When the kitten urinates and urinates in the wrong place, do not press its nose on it. In this way, it will be attracted by the smell and think that there is a fixed "toilet". These areas should be cleaned frequently and thoroughly to prevent cats from peeing there again.
Cats can learn this very quickly, and it is a cat’s nature to cover up their excrement. As long as it is convenient to use the litter box, the kitten will naturally cover up its excrement.
Kittens must pay attention to keeping warm and cooling down, because the ability of kittens to regulate themselves is still very weak. Be careful not to get too hot or freeze. The normal body temperature of cats is around 39 degrees.
Two Do not bathe kittens under one month old, just wipe them clean with a warm towel. Even after two months, it is best not to bathe them frequently, usually once every two months, because there is oil on the cat's fur, which can be waterproof. Dust-proof. Frequent bathing will wash away this layer of grease. Cats will get dirty easily, and they are prone to skin diseases due to dry skin, or the invasion of parasites.
Kittens under three months old will not Need to be dewormed.
After three months, you can consider deworming and flea deworming.
For fleas, you can use German Siemens cat flea remover, which costs about 25 yuan a piece. Bottle, 30 ml, not very toxic, can be used by pregnant female cats. Be sure to buy the one for cats, not for dogs. It can remove fleas, ear mites and cattle ticks. However, there are fake ones on the market, which can be bought on the regular Buy it at a pet store.
You can spray the cat's inverse hairs all over the body, and then massage it into the hair with your hands to let the drug penetrate evenly. Basically, there will be no fleas in two days. One bottle It can be used many times.
Fulian is very effective, but it is expensive and needs to be used up at one time, so it is not suitable for use at home.
Don’t buy Chlorine, although it looks like it It's cheap, but it's not cheap for such a small bottle, and it's highly toxic, which can damage the cat's skin and cause ulcers.
Don't use a collar on your cat either, as the medicine in the collar is very toxic. It is large and will be useless after three months. The most important thing is that if your cat is free-range, it will definitely climb trees. If the collar hooks on the branches, it will cause danger.
In addition, cats with fleas must have worms in their stomachs, so they will lose weight. You can buy Axel deworming tablets produced by Xi'an Janssen for the cat to eat. A box of six tablets only costs about 2.6 yuan. The dosage is twice a day. Take half a tablet each time for three consecutive days, and the worms in your stomach will be eliminated.
Remember, deworm your cat every three to four months.
If For peace of mind, even cats bought in pet stores need to be vaccinated, but in rare cases it may be dangerous due to the cat's own immune system.
The cat's nest is very important, and it mainly depends on your preparation. How to raise.
If the cat is free-range, there will be more or less fleas on the cat. It is recommended to use a cardboard box or a plastic storage box with a towel or mat inside, and then throw it away and replace it. Yes, if you use cloth, it is easy for flea eggs to be parasitized inside, and cats will not be willing to go in in the future.
If it is domesticated, there will be no problem with fleas. You can use cloth or velvet. species.
The above is my experience, I hope it can be helpful to you in raising cats.

Pet cats A happy life requires careful and thoughtful care from the owner. In the process of getting along with your precious cat, if it is not handled properly, it will cause trouble and annoyance to the owner.
Therefore, it is very necessary for *** owners to understand the skills of getting along with cats. After reading the following tips, I wish you and your cat a happy life! When getting along with cats, you should pay attention to the following points: First, you should make friends with cats. When you start to get in touch with a cat, don't rush to be friendly with the cat. Let the cat gradually get to know the owner.
The best time to approach a cat is when it is eating. You can talk to the cat softly, but do not touch it first. Approach it when the cat is relaxed, and let the cat know that you are Love it. Don't scare the cat by making loud noises and making sudden movements.
As the cat becomes more familiar with its owner, give it some caressing, but don’t go too far at first. As long as you are patient and have a gentle attitude, the cat will develop a good impression of its owner and establish a relationship.
Second, understand the cat’s personality. After mastering the cat’s general habits, you must also understand the cat’s personality. This will help establish and consolidate the relationship between humans and cats.
The personality of each cat is not exactly the same. Some cats like to exercise, some cats are lazy, some cats like to be close to their owners and act coquettishly, and some cats do not like their owners to touch and cuddle them too much. Cats like ball toys, and some cats are interested in small bird toys.
Once you know your cat’s personality, you can take targeted measures to enhance the relationship between you! Third, don’t punish your cat too often. Cats are different from other animals in that punishment has no effect on cats.
So when a cat is annoying, let it know that the owner doesn’t want it to do that, and don’t beat or scold it at will. Otherwise, the cat will think that the owner does not like it, feel that there is no warmth in the home, and may even run away from home.

Although hugging a cat is a very common thing, if you are not careful, either the person will be scratched by the cat, or the cat will be injured by the person, or even cause the cat to be disabled for life. Before holding a cat, you must first get familiar with the cat, pat the cat's forehead gently or stroke the cat's back.
Depending on the size and weight of the cat, it can be grasped with one or two hands. Do not scratch the ears, tail or limbs. If you scratch the ears, it is easy to break the cat's ear bones and cause disability.
Cat bites can easily occur if you scratch your limbs. Cats' tails are very sensitive, and pulling or stepping on their tails can easily lead to attacks from cats.
