Nanny-level newbie cat raising strategy, very detailed
When a novice raises a cat for the first time, they will also feel particularly anxious about the food, drinking, defecation and urination of the hairy children. We also encountered many problems when raising cats before.
Today I have sorted out a guide for raising cats for you. Let you understand all the needs of kittens, and it is recommended to transfer it to other cat novices around you!
01
Whole house sealing windows/Whole house cleaning/Material preparation
The cat is curious. If there is no window sealing, it is easy to rush out when you see something flying outside the window, which is very dangerous. Therefore, the shoveler must seal the windows at home. If there is a balcony, it is best to install a fence.
thorough cleaning
Especially under the bed. Many cats hide first when they get home, and under the bed is one of the musts hide. Moreover, cats love to be clean, and their resistance will be poor after changing the environment.
When cleaning, remember to pack some sharp or toxic things in the house into a cabinet that the cat cannot get. Such as scissors, mosquito coils, etc.
Prepare basic supplies
Cat litter box, cat litter, cat rice bowl, cat water bowl, cat food, cat food bucket, outing cat bag, comb gloves, cat nail clippers, cat sticks, and cat scratching board. You can not buy a cat's nest for the time being, and you may not like to sleep after buying it. Cats will find a place they like to sleep.
In addition, some cleaning supplies can be prepared. For example, mite removal device or vacuum cleaner, deodorant (cat shit can really be ugly to the point of being dark), pet sterilization water, hair sticker, wet wipes and cotton swabs.
02
Eat well and eat, different age groups have different growth needs
0-2 months old
At this time, cats have relatively fragile stomachs and intestines. If possible, they will have stronger resistance and will not be prone to illness. If you don’t have breast milk, you can feed special pet goat milk powder.
2-6 months old
The stomach and intestines of kittens are not yet perfected at this stage. You can use goat milk powder to soak the kitten food before feeding it. It is recommended to choose kitten food that is hypoallergenic or can prevent soft stools. During this period, you can also feed some canned kittens mousse appropriately.
6-5 years old
cats at this stage gradually become young and middle-aged. If they do not intend to have children, they must sterilize the cat in time, and the staple food can also be replaced with full-term food or cat food.
Cats over 5 years old,
Somethings above this age are slowly entering middle-aged and elderly people, and their vitality is reduced. Therefore, you should pay attention to choosing cat food that is digested and absorbed.
ps: Food that cats must not eat!
Onion, alcoholic, grapes, caffeine-containing, milk, and cereals

Doduo water fraud
Prevent urinary system diseases
Cats are born not to drink water and are prone to urinary system diseases caused by lack of water, so they should trick the cat master into drinking water.
How much water does a cat drink per day?
Follow your weight, just 30-50ml per kilogram per day. It is normal to urinate 1-3 times a day. Too much or too little is not good.
What water is suitable for cats to drink?
Cold water and warm water are OK, cold white cabbage and commercially available purified water/mineral water are OK. Don’t drink tap water directly. In short, cats can drink it if you can drink it.
What should I do if a cat doesn't like to drink water?
1) Prepare 1-2 more water bowls. When you go through the place where the cat often passes, you will drink two more sips;
2) Cats like to drink flowing and fresh water, and the water bowl should be kept clean at least once a day. Some cats who don’t like to drink water can also try a cat water dispenser (change water every day);
3) Try to rehydrate and feed it as much as possible. Usually, you can also add some canned wet food to supplement it. When feeding the cat, add some water to the cat eat canned food and also replenish the water.
04
Observation of poop
The daily compulsory course for cats to pull themselves around?
When a new cat arrives at home, you must first teach it to use a cat litter box. If there is a random pull, clean the urine area and put some things the cat doesn't like, such as lemons, to prevent it from urinating again next time.
The poop is so smelly and can't bear it?
It may be because of a problem with the cat's stomach and intestines, so you can consider changing the food; otherwise you will choose cat litter with good smell removal ability. Now there are many cat litters that have fragrance; finally, the deodorant is always available at home~
What should I do if cats have diarrhea?
Cats will experience diarrhea due to stress, which is normal. It will be great if the cat slowly gets familiar with the environment. After observation, the cat has not improved for a period of time. You must send the cat to the hospital in time.
05
In vivo and external deworming Remember to do it on time on time. In theory, cats are deworming externally when they are over 2 months old and start deworming internally when they are over 3 months old. If the cat is lively and healthy, it is OK to get ahead of time.
