Hi~ I am a senior cat owner with four cats. I believe that many novice cat mothers will encounter some headaches when they take their babies home, such as: the furry children hide under the bed or in the corner when they get home, and do not eat, drink, poop or pee, which makes the mothers who are eager to pet the cats anxious.
Today, I will sort out some precautions for novice cat owners. Come and see if you have done them right? You can collect them if you need them!
What should I do if the cat hides from you when it just gets home?
You can provide enough exercise opportunities through toys or sports. For example: gently touch the kitten's head and take out its favorite cat teaser. Interact appropriately to let them feel the owner's love.
What should I do if I don't know how much food to feed the child?
Because cats are young and they can't control the amount they eat, it is easy to cause them to have soft stools or food accumulation.
At this time, cat owners can prepare an automatic feeder for their furry children, and feed them small meals at regular times and places. Young cats eat 4 times a day, and adult cats eat 3 times a day. According to the weight of the cat, you can calculate the amount of food that should be consumed every day~
What should I do if my cat is particularly picky about food?
Snacks contain attractants and flavors, lack nutrition, and easily lead to picky eating and increase the burden on the cat's body.
Use snacks as rewards for training cats, or give them to cats after unpleasant things such as bathing and nail clipping. The frequency of feeding snacks should be 2-3 times a week, and the amount should be small.
Cat food is not palatable
Because cats have naturally sensitive stomachs, improper diet can easily cause vomiting, soft stools, diarrhea or malnutrition.
Don't worry too much, novice shit shovelers. In the process of accompanying the growth of fur children, we will accumulate a lot of experience. Cats may be very naughty, but the emotional value they can provide us is also very high, as long as we are more patient! I hope every kitten can grow up healthily under the care of their parents.
