It is easy to cause various diseases if it is not properly raised. Therefore, it is necessary for us to master the methods of pet cat raising and disease prevention. Pet cats should have fixed food plates, and it is better to feed them regularly and regularly, not to feed them cold food. In ordinary times, we should do a good job in the prevention and treatment of common diseases such as ascariasis, taeniasis, toxoplasmosis, alopecia areata, constipation, etc. Let’s take a look.

How to raise a pet cat

  1. The food tray of the pet cat shall be fixed for use and shall not be replaced at will. Pet cats are very sensitive to the change of food plates and sometimes refuse to eat because of the change in food plates. Keep the dish clean. Newspaper or plastic paper can be placed under the food plate to prevent the sound when the food plate slides, and it is also easy to clean. Every time the pet cat eats the leftover food, it should be thrown away or put away, and it should be mixed with fresh food and cooked for the next feeding.
  2. Feeding should be regular and fixed-point. Once the biological clock of pet cat’s “meal” is formed, it is relatively fixed and should not be changed at will. The place for pet cat food should be fixed. Pet cats do not like to eat in noisy and bright places. If there are visitors, do not let the guests see your pet cat when the pet cat eats. The appearance of strangers will greatly reduce the appetite of pet cats.
  3. Pet cats have the bad habit of taking food with claw hooks or eating food outside the food plate. Once this phenomenon is found, it should be corrected immediately.
  4. Pet cats like warm food. Cold food and cold food not only affect the appetite of pet cats but also cause digestive disorders. The temperature of food should be 30 to 40 degrees, and the food taken out from the refrigerator should be heated before feeding.
  5. Although pet cats do not drink much water, they must have enough clean drinking water. Drinking water for pet cats must be clean water, and the water should be changed every day. The drinking basin can be placed on one side of the food plate so that Persian cats can drink freely when they are thirsty.
  6. Because pet cats are long-haired cats, it is very important to groom them. Spring is the season of depilation for cats. We should use professional hair combing tools to comb cats at this time.
  7. Bathe them regularly. Bathing pet cats can not only make cats beautiful and clean, but also prevent and treat skin diseases and ectoparasite infections of Persian cats and promote the blood circulation and metabolism of cats.
  8. Pet cats are long-haired cats, which are prone to heatstroke in summer. In case of heat stroke, quickly move the cat to a ventilated or shady place, and then use ice cubes or ice water to help them cool down. It is best to send the pet cat to the veterinarian.
  9. Keeping cats indoors keep them as free from disease and parasites as possible. As long as they receive careful care and good nutrition, cats should be treated once a year at a reliable veterinary hospital.
