The vet lists the determining factors for improving your cat’s life and making him happy
When we adopt or acquire a cat, its health and happiness become our daily responsibilities. But these tasks aren’t always easy, are they? Therefore, some people may experience difficulties when running, especially with cats.
To make tutors aware, we have brought 6 lessons very important things about kittens to inspire routine with your pet. Check out the tips below!
1 – Why does my cat behave like this?
First of all, pay attention to how your friend behaves! Did you know that the behavior of animals can vary depending on some physical factors? The length of the fur, for example, can define whether it will be more active or not. However, regardless of the coat, one thing is certain: every feline is curious!
“A cat’s personality is still shaped by genetics and the first stage of its life (up to nine weeks), as it is a delicate time to learn new things and socialize. The better this contact while growing up, the more sociable it will be. ”, Emphasizes veterinary doctor Prigioni Rizelo.
But it is worth remembering that this importance of childhood for the animal is not a factor to be weighed at the time of adoption. Even welcoming an adult kitten will be an amazing experience, after all they are already smart enough and even so they can still learn a lot from this new daily life!
2 – Do we organize a check-up?
A common question among care is when to take cats to the vet. If there are no changes in behavior, urine, stool, or any signs of pain or discomfort, it is recommended that the younger kitten visit the vet annually, while the elderly should see him more often.
In the office, the professional will evaluate the animal, its vaccination protocol and will be able to make recommendations based on its needs and individuality to keep it always healthy.
3 – The magic of transport boxes
Did you know that transport stress is the most common reason for postponing the vet? This is because most kittens are afraid of this shift. “When transporting your cat, never let it loose in the car. Always give preference to transport boxes or bags made of durable material with openings at the top and front and make it comfortable, with blankets, toys and personal items”, Priscilla guides.
To make this process even easier, he gives a golden tip: allow the pet to have free access to the box or bag even when he is not out, so there is a familiarization of the space, which will reduce future discomfort. Also, while traveling, keep calm and positivity by transmitting confidence to your pet and talking to him in a low, calm voice.
4 – Licking is the cat’s bath
Unlike dogs, cats don’t need to be bathed as often, only occasionally, and hot water and specific products should be used. Cats are hygienic beings by nature and because they care so much about hygiene, they practice daily “self-cleaning” by licking to remove impurities.
However, the vet warns of one important point: While licking is normal, don’t lick excessively. So, if you notice this behavioral change in your kitten, let your vet know, as it can indicate fleas and ticks, for example.
5 – The healthy menu and the quality of life
Proper nutrition goes far beyond weight control: it can help prevent skin, cardiovascular and kidney diseases. “Cats need a complex mix of the right nutrients, so the choice of food is essential, adapting the food according to the age of the animal,” stresses the veterinarian.
Among the options, indicate that easy-to-chew foods are ideal for puppies and senior cats; wet rations can help keep cats hydrated who don’t drink a lot of water; and neutered animals need a specific food to help with weight regulation.
6 – Time to have fun with your cat!
Keep your home’s safety nets up to date so kittens can jump, jump, play hide and seek and have their own space with their toys and scratching posts. Even though cats love to sleep, encouraging them to move is essential, you know?
When they are older, cats shouldn’t jump from great heights and have less energy to play. Therefore, Prissioni’s advice is to leave the toys and food in a place that is easily accessible for the pet and does not require a lot of effort.
