Notes on how to raise a cat

First, how to choose a kitten

If you want to raise a cat, in addition to adopting a newborn kitten from a veterinarian's clinic or a pet store, the other way to do it is to get one from a relative or to buy one from a trustworthy and legitimate pet store. When choosing a cat, you should pay attention to the health of the body, know the status of the preventive injections, and carefully check the health condition of the cat. Eyes are clear and bright with no tear residue or stains around the eyes, ears are dry and fresh with no abnormal amount of earwax or discharge, tongue and gums are pink with no abnormal bad breath, no unexplained tooth loss, nose is slightly wet with no sticky nose water or excessive dryness, hair is even and shiny with no excessive dryness or abnormal shedding.

Second, after the kitten is adopted home, it must be prepared with living supplies. The owner can also give it a good name.

Third, establish a good relationship with the cat

The cat is different from the dog, it does not want to be possessed at all, and its independence must not be allowed to be deprived. In order to establish a good relationship with the cat, it should not be owned as property, but should try to treat it as a family member. The cat is willing to spend time with its owner***. It doesn't need simple food or any payment, one must develop a bond with the cat. If the owner understands it and appreciates it, it will get it and its feelings and respect.

Fourth, understand the habits of the cat

The most obvious and obvious display action is to leisurely wag its tail, or lie on the ground, all four feet facing the sky, waiting for the owner to pat it. If it wants to pamper itself with its owner, it will rub its body against its side or flick its right or left foot against its owner's side.

The cat's whole body will be visibly tense when it is angry, its tail is straight and its hair is standing up as a warning, and if its body is slightly prone and takes a position ready to charge forward, it is about to attack.

Fifth, understand the cat's purr

The lazy, gentle purr is greeting the owner.

The "long tailed" purr, and the rush to follow the owner, may be hungry, or want to drink water, you can check the feed bowl, or the cat litter box should be cleaned.

The snoring in the throat is contented (and may be sick, which can be noted slightly, but this is not common.

If the cat is purring loudly, it may be complaining about something.

Listen carefully when a cat purrs at its owner. It is also happy to talk to its owner when it notices that the owner is paying attention to its behavior. Over time, the owner also knows the cat's words.

Sixth, how to pet it

Gently touch the top of the cat's head, around the neck, and all over the belly along the cat's fur, and the cat will purr out of comfort. A pampered cat will rub its head against its owner's hand when he touches it, which means it likes the feeling of being loved.

Seventh, how to hold it

The cat's emotions are very sensitive and delicate, and any overly reckless or sudden movements may scare it. Therefore, before hugging a cat, it is best to gently touch the cat's head so that it can see the hand, and then slowly hug it up so as not to cause it to feel uneasy.
