It is a very happy thing to have a cat of your own. When he meows to you for the first time, falls asleep peacefully by your side for the first time, and exposes his belly happily when he plays for the first time, you will sigh how there are such a cute little thing in the world, and you can't help but want to give him all the best things in the world. Many newbie cat moms and dads worry about not being able to raise them well before raising cats. In fact, cats have strong vitality and are far less fragile than we think. As long as we feed scientifically and treat it with care, most of the cats can be with us for many years. (The following content is just to give some adoption suggestions for friends who want to become parents. If there are any omissions, please leave a message to add it)

Examine your own objective conditions

1. Cats are delicate and very sensitive animals. Frequent changes in living environment are taboos in raising cats. Before you want to take a cat home, please ask yourself very seriously: Can you provide a stable and relatively comfortable living environment for cats without abandoning them due to objective reasons such as work changes, family members not allowing them to raise, pregnancy and having children, etc.;

2. Raising cats is a costly thing. Do you have a stable source of income to pay for cats' daily expenses and a series of uncertain expenses such as vaccines, sterilization, and treatment?

If all the above questions can be answered positively, then congratulations, you will have an elf warmly accompany you in the next ten years.

How to get a cat

We certainly advocate adoption instead of buying. Our platform provides channels for giving up cats and adopting cats. In the future, a mini program will be implemented to provide services more conveniently. We hope to create a free and convenient adoption platform. On the cute pet home platform, I believe you will always meet the cat who is destined to be with you. The advantage of adoption is that it costs less. Compared with breed cats, adopted cats only need to pay a little adoption fee symbolically or buy some cat food to the rescuer as a thank you. Of course, these are not forced. In addition, if the kitten you are sent to have been dewormed, vaccinated or even sterilized, it will save a lot of the money for the adopter.

But if you just have a special liking for a certain breed, it is recommended that you choose a regular cathouse to buy it. Never believe in various cat selling videos online or WeChat, otherwise you will most likely buy the legendary Week Cat and have nowhere to protect your rights. In addition, don’t choose a folding cat because of your special preferences or believe in unscrupulous merchants. Folding cats are a genetic disease. Cats will suffer from later illness and their owners will be very worried.

Preparation before adoption

1. Seal the balcony and install solid and stable screen windows. Don't be lucky, because you can't predict all accidents in advance before they happen. Cats are not as high as we imagined. A group of flying birds and an insect lying on the window are enough to arouse their curiosity and lead to tragedy. Therefore, as parents, we must do all protection and prevent problems before they happen.

2. Hold down dangerous items. Any sharp or fragile product (such as knives, glass products) is potentially dangerous to cats, especially underage kittens, who are curious, lively and active, and are easily cut. If a thread-like object (especially yarn, thread head, etc.) is swallowed by mistake, the consequences will be unimaginable.

In addition, green plants, food or kitchen and bathroom cleaners that are toxic to the cat should also be avoided within the cat's range of activities, such as: coffee, chocolate, lilies, night-like fragrance, azaleas, etc. If poisoning occurs, you should be sent to the hospital 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, nail clippers, pet-specific shower gels, teeth cleaning products

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

4) Non-essentials - cat toys, cat nests, climbing racks

The above items can be selected whether to buy them depending on the economic situation ~

After picking the cat home, the days of the shoveler are officially started. Congratulations on finally becoming a cat breed.

When I just picked up my cat back, I was a complete novice and didn't even know how to use cat litter. During that time, I took care of Miaozi every day, for fear of any mistakes. A year has passed, and the things I worry about have never happened. Meow is raised by me, lively and healthy. This made me see it and feel happy in my heart. In fact, compared to allowing cats to live a better material life, I think emotional care for cats is more important. Especially what happened to me recently made me sigh that what cats need is a shoveler who can accompany him for the rest of his life. If you are uncertain about this or cannot do it, please don’t take him home easily. This is a great harm to the cat and a manifestation of your irresponsibility to life.

Finally, I hope every cat is lucky enough to find a parent who loves it for the rest of his life; I hope every cat shoveler is lucky enough to have a cat owner who can stay healthy and stay with him for a long time.
