When a new cat arrives at home, provide a quiet space and place familiar blankets or toys to help adapt
Vertical space (cat climbing frame/windowsill) can make cats feel more secure
Regularly clean the litter box (1-2 times/day), as cats may refuse to use it due to being dirty and messy
Cleaning Care
Combing frequency:
Shorthair cats: 2-3 times a week
Long haired cat: once a day to prevent tangling
Shower advice:
Healthy domestic cats can be bathed 2-3 times a year (excessive bathing can damage skin oil)
Use pet specific shower gel with a water temperature of around 38 ℃
Behavioral interaction
Best gaming time:
Morning and evening periods (in line with the hunting nature of cats)
15-20 minutes of interactive games per day
Toy selection:
Cat teaser stick>Laser pen (giving cats a sense of "capture")
Avoid ropes/rubber bands (danger of accidental ingestion)
Health monitoring
Annual physical examination:
Adult cats: once a year
Age 7 and above: once every six months
Daily inspection:
Eyes: Clear without abnormal secretions
Ears: clean and free of dark brown secretions
Nose: moist without scabs
Common Misconceptions
Wearing bells on cats (affecting hearing and causing anxiety)
Punitive education (using water spouts, etc. to make cats hold grudges)
Feeding cannibalistic drugs (such as ibuprofen, which is highly toxic to cats)
Emotional Communication
Slow Blink=Cat's Kiss
Rubbing lightly marks the scent=recognizing you as family
Exposing the belly ≠ Seeking touch (may be a trap!)
Reminder: Each cat is a unique individual, please adjust the care method according to their personality!
