Cats, as members of our family, win our love with their unique personalities and elegant appearance. However, when you bring a new cat home, you may encounter some problems, such as barking all night, not eating, etc. Not only are these issues bothering you, they may also be unsettling for your cat. So, how should we deal with these problems? Let’s explore five details you should pay attention to when your cat first arrives home.
1. Prepare a familiar environment
Before you take the cat home, you can obtain some information from the cat’s original owner or place of residence that it has used in the past. Things that have been used, such as his favorite toys, used cat litter, etc. Placing these items in your cat's new home can help your cat adapt to the new environment more quickly and find a familiar feel. If it is a kitten, prepare a quiet and comfortable space for the cat, which can be a room or a cage, so that the cat can have enough time to be alone.
2. Give sufficient time
When cats first arrive at a new home, they may be nervous and uneasy. This is normal because they need time to adapt to the new environment. Don't rush to interact with your cat or force it to do anything. Give it plenty of time to explore its surroundings and gradually adapt to its new lifestyle.
3. Avoid excessive attention
Although cats need to adapt when they first arrive in a new home, too much attention may make it feel more stressed. Try to avoid staring at your cat or interacting with it too much. Allowing your cat some time alone will help it adapt better to its new environment.
4. Pay attention to the supply of food and water
Although cats may have a loss of appetite when they first arrive in a new home, it is still very important to ensure that adequate food and water are provided. You can put your cat's food where it can see it, but don't force it to eat. Also, make sure to provide fresh drinking water that your cat can access at all times.
5. Observe the cat's physical condition
In addition to observing the cat's diet and behavior, you should also pay attention to its physical condition. If your cat has persistent abnormal behavior, such as vomiting, diarrhea, fever, etc., you should seek medical attention in time.
Summary: When we bring a new cat home, we need to give it enough time to adapt to the new environment. During this time, pay attention to the cat’s behavior and physical condition. By paying attention to the above five details, we can help cats better adapt to their new home and establish a good human-cat relationship. Remember, patience and understanding are the keys to successfully adjusting to your cat's new home.
