Edit this piece of hair

Short-haired cats have long tongues and can comb themselves. Therefore, short-haired cats don't need to be combed every day, but they can be combed twice a week. The owner combs the cat too much, so the cat doesn't comb it himself. The owner can also hold the cat in his arms at ordinary times without using tools to comb the cat's hair, but with his hands. On the one hand, it can smooth hair and beard, on the other hand, it can increase the good impression on cats.

Cats who have no habit of bathing hate getting wet. So wash it once or four times a month, and then wash it when it is dirty. If you start bathing about four months after birth, you can form a habit and become a cat who loves to bathe.

It can be roughly divided into three types: dry, canned and half-cooked. Dry food is a kind of comprehensive nutritious food with essential nutrition. Adding some water to this food is basically enough. The tastes are beef, chicken and fish, each of which is crisp and chewy.

This kind of food can not only exercise gums, but also is cheap and easy to store. So, if possible, try to give priority to this kind of food. Pay attention to replenish enough water when feeding.

Canned food is very popular because of its variety and delicious taste.

Edit the relevant information in this paragraph.

In Japan, as long as someone is alive, they can definitely see domestic cats. Its characteristic is not only that its tail is like a stump, but also that it has big eyes and ears. ...

The cats we often see are all so-called "domestic cats" that have been domesticated by humans for a long time. Walking on the road, if a cat passes in front of you, you won't remember or care whether the cat's tail is long or short. Similarly, if you don't see a cat around, you won't mind. Everything is natural. Cats are such an unsurprising animal. In fact, in Japan, whether it is the bustling Ginza Street in Tokyo, the virgin forest in Okinawa, or the isolated island such as Tianmai Island, a famous breeding ground for seabirds in Hokkaido, it is the habitat of cats.

These cats, even those who live in the wild without owners, are different from wild cats (bobcats). There are two kinds of wild cats in Japan, Amur wild cats and West Watch cats, which are completely different from ordinary cats (that is, domestic cats). Cats were not originally Japanese protozoa. It was brought to Japan from China a long time ago.

The earliest record of cats in ancient times was found in ancient Egyptian tomb paintings around 1600 BC, which made people think that at least before that, the ancient Egyptians had begun to domesticate wild Libyan cats.

It is inferred that when Buddhism was introduced to Japan in 538 (or 552), people brought cats to protect scriptures from mice. According to genetic research, cats came to Japan from India via China. The earliest detailed description of cats is the black cat (867 ~ 93 1) in Emperor Yudo's diary. According to records, the black cat came to Japan from China in 884.

In the earliest records about cats in Japan, the name of the cat was given by an emperor (980 ~ 10 1 1). The emperor conferred an official position on the cat, gave it a lady-like name "Myobu-no-Ototo" (meaning "queen's maid-in-waiting"), and appointed a female official to take care of the cat. According to records, cats in the palace wear red collars and white labels and like to play with ropes.

/kloc-After 0/2 century, cats began to appear in paintings. It is said that one of them is a picture of birds and animals by monk Zheng (1053 ~1kloc-0/40), which depicts three cats with long tails and tiger skins. Later, cats gradually became ordinary animals and began to be companions of frogs, foxes and rabbits in paintings.

Later, there were more and more domestic cats, and people stopped looking for foreign cats as precious animals. During the Edo period (1603 ~ 1867), almost all Japanese cats were bred in China due to isolation from the outside world, perhaps because of inbreeding, and gradually, abnormalities began to appear. 1700 or so, there are more and more short-tailed cats, and Japanese short-tailed cats begin to appear. /kloc-In the essay "Stupid Miscellany" in the early 20th century, it was recorded: "In Kyoto, many people keep long-tailed Tang cats, while in Lang Hua (Osaka), more people keep short-tailed (Japanese) cats."

For a long time, the Japanese cat with a tail like a stump has been considered as a kind of cat. After the war, siamese cats, American short-haired cats and other species were introduced to Japan one after another, and the breeding of cats became a hybrid, and the short-tailed cats with poor genetic species soon disappeared. At that time, an American woman brought some Japanese short-tailed cats back to her hometown to breed and registered them as a species, named "Japanese short-tailed cats". This short-tailed cat, born in Japan and raised in America, saved the endangered Japanese cat. There seems to be international communication in the cat world.
