Almost every day, cat friends come to me to ask me all kinds of questions related to breeding and disease.
I hope that I am an omniscient and omnipotent person, who can answer any questions and guide, but the fact is that some of the problems in raising cats are really out of the question……
1. The problem of male cats peeing indiscriminately
For people who do breeding, although male cats pee indiscriminately are very annoying, if there is no such behavior, you should be more worried about whether it is not functioning normally…… You asked me if there was a way to change this instinctive behavior, and I’m sorry I really didn’t.
For pet families, it is natural to sterilize male cats when they are 5~6 months old. Do breeding, bear with it!
2. The troubles caused by female cats in heat
Same as Article 1…… If you want to do breeding, you can only endure it! The estrus period of female cats is generally about 10 days, and they scream day and night, and most residences do not have to worry about disturbing the people, the key is whether you can stand it yourself. If you don’t sleep well, you will go bald……
For pet families, it is better to be sterilized at the appropriate age.
3. Urinate and defecate anywhere
Cats defecating everywhere caused by non-estrus causes are the most helpless. It may suddenly poop and pee in your bed, or in other places you didn’t expect, and everything seems to be without warning. It’s not a bad habit that I have developed since I was a child, nor has I neglected it, let alone territorial disputes with other cats, anyway, that’s what it did.
This kind of cat psychological problem is also very tricky, because we don’t know what the cat is thinking…… What is it dissatisfied with this home?
4. Poop is not buried
It is said that there are not a few cats in this situation, even if you have a litter of kittens, teach them to defecate and bury them from a young age, but it doesn’t have much effect. If you observe carefully, you will find that usually some cats with a stronger personality are born with a strong personality, and Lao Tzu just wants to keep my smell, Lao Tzu is the best in the world~ And such cats are usually carefree in personality, regardless of male or female.
Sometimes they poop in the middle of the night and don’t bury it, which can wake you up from sleeping……
5. After the second child, it is no longer clingy
Sometimes it’s the feeling of fate playing tricks, when you only have one cat, the cat is with you all day long, so it’s not tired and crooked. But you may worry that when you are not at home, the cat will be a little lonely and pitiful, and it will only be accompanied when you are at home. So, you got a second cat…… Hey, what’s the result, it played with the two, and the two cats won’t stick to you from now on.
Of course, this is not 100% either, and some will encounter this embarrassing situation.
6. Diseases that cannot be dealt with by oneself
All cat owners are afraid of cats getting sick. It’s okay to have a small problem, you can treat it yourself at home, and when you encounter big trouble, there is really no way at all, so you can only ask for help from the pet hospital. For example, I have encountered many cases of consulting cats to close their urine, and ask me if there is anything I can do? What medicine should I feed? There is no way but to take it to the hospital for catheterization immediately, and the money cannot be spent.
Because cats are very dangerous situations, when you can find that it is urinating, it has been holding urine for at least one day, but if it holds urine for another day, it may trigger systemic toxic reactions, kidney failure, and soon death. So there is really no way to deal with it yourself.
The same is true for other diseases that require supportive therapy, simply feeding some antibiotics can basically be done by themselves, but when they need to use supportive means such as infusion and oxygen as an aid, most of the shit shoveling officers’ families do not have this condition.
Finally, the problem that all shoveling officers will face: the death of the cat
Cats generally live for more than ten years, and very few may live to 20+ or even longer. In the end, everyone will face this problem, and the cat will eventually die.
The companionship of many years will become memories and become blurred, and when I occasionally flip through the photo album, the joys, sorrows, and joys of those long absences seem to be yesterday.
And you look at the new guy in front of you, and you are full of expectations for the days of living together in the future.
