Having a cat of your own is a very happy thing. When it meows to you for the first time, sleeps peacefully next to you for the first time, and exposes its belly happily when playing for the first time, you He would lament how there could be such a cute little thing in the world, and he couldn't help but want to give him all the best things in the world. Many novice cat mothers and fathers worry that they will not be able to raise a cat well before raising a cat. In fact, the vitality of cats is very strong and is not as fragile as we think. As long as they are fed scientifically and treated with care, most cats can stay with us for many, many years. (The following content is just some adoption advice for friends who want to become parents. If there are any omissions, please leave a message to add)

1. Cats are delicate and very sensitive animals. Frequent changes in the living environment are a taboo for raising cats. Before you want to take a cat home, please be very careful. Ask yourself seriously: Can you provide a stable and relatively comfortable living environment for your cat without abandoning it due to objective reasons such as job changes, family refusal, pregnancy and childbirth?

2. Raising a cat is expensive. Do you have a stable financial source to pay for the cat’s daily expenses and a series of uncertain expenses such as vaccines, sterilization, and medical treatment?

If you can get a positive answer to the above questions, then congratulations, you will have an elf to accompany you warmly in the next ten years.

How to get a cat

We certainly advocate adoption instead of buying. Our platform provides channels for fostering and adopting cats. In the future, we will also implement a small program to provide services more conveniently. We hope to create a free and convenient adoption platform. On the Cute Pets Home platform, I believe that I will always meet you. The destined cat.

The advantage of adoption is that it is less expensive. Compared with breed cats, adopted cats only need to pay a symbolic adoption fee or buy some cat food to give to the rescuer as a thank you. Of course, these are not required. In addition, if the kittens submitted for adoption have been dewormed, vaccinated and even neutered, the adopters can save a lot of money.

But if you just have a soft spot for a certain breed, it is recommended that you choose a regular cattery to buy it. Don’t believe any cat selling videos online or on WeChat, otherwise you will very likely buy the legendary Zhou Cat and have nowhere to protect your rights. In addition, do not choose a cat with folded ears because of your own special preferences or because of the words of unscrupulous merchants. Folded ears are a genetic disease that will cause great pain to the cat and worry the owner later.

Preparation before adoption

1. Seal the balcony and install strong and stable screens. Don't take chances, because you cannot predict all accidents before they happen. Cats do not have as high an IQ as we think. A flock of birds flying by or an insect lying on the window are enough to arouse their curiosity and lead to tragedy. Therefore, as parents, we must do all the protection work. Nip problems in the bud.

2. Keep dangerous items away. Any sharp or fragile objects (such as knives, glass products) are potentially dangerous to cats, especially underage kittens, who are very curious, lively and active, and are easily cut. Thread-like objects (especially wool, thread ends, etc.), once swallowed by mistake, can have disastrous consequences.

In addition, green plants, food or kitchen and bathroom cleaners that are toxic to cats themselves should also be avoided within the cat’s range of activities, such as: coffee, chocolate, lilies, tuberose, and azaleas. etc. If poisoning occurs, seek medical attention immediately.

3. Purchase of daily necessities.

1) Necessities that need to be prepared in advance - cat bags, cat food, rice bowls, cat litter boxes, cat litter

2) Necessities that can be purchased later - combs, nails Knife, pet shower gel, tooth cleaning products

3) Non-essentials - nutritional cream/hair removal cream, various gastrointestinal medications, vitamins, taurine and other nutritional products

You can choose whether to buy the above items depending on your financial situation~

After picking up the cat and bringing it home, the poop scooper’s The day has officially begun, congratulations on finally becoming a cat owner.

Written at the end

When I first got my cat, I was a complete novice and didn’t even know how to use cat litter. During that time, I looked after my cat very carefully every day, for fear that something might go wrong. A year has passed, and nothing I was worried about has happened. The cat I raised has become fat, lively and healthy. This makes me happy in my eyes and in my heart. In fact, I think emotional care for cats is more important than letting cats live a better material life. Especially what happened to me recently, I couldn’t help but sigh. What a cat needs is a scavenger who can accompany him throughout his life. If you are not sure about this or can’t do it, please don’t take him home easily. This is very harmful to the cat and also reflects your irresponsibility for life.

Finally, I hope that every cat is lucky enough to find a parent who will love it throughout its life; I hope every cat owner is lucky enough to have a cat owner who can be healthy and stay with you for a long time.
