Many parents are always at a loss when a new cat arrives at home. They don’t know what to do, and they are also afraid that if they don’t do it well, the relationship between humans and cats will not get along well. Today’s issue has compiled some points to note when new cats arrive at home. Novice cat owners must collect this article to help cats better integrate into their new homes. For new cat necessities, you can refer to the previous issue I did. A list of items that are usually needed can be prepared before you take your cat home.

The most important thing is to determine whether the cat is healthy. Even now, we still receive private messages from fans saying that they have bought a Zhou cat. If the cat is sick, we can make basic observations with the naked eye before taking the cat home. Yes, if a cat's ears are dirty, smelly, or have hair loss, these are ear mites and cat ringworm that kittens are more likely to get. These two problems are not serious.

If your eyes are blurry and your nose is sneezing and runny, it could be cat nasal congestion. If your spirits are getting worse, you might as well not take her home yet. If you are adopting a cat, you can ask the adopter or the seller what cat food and litter he gave the cat before. You can prepare it in advance. ​

The most important point is, don’t rush to change the food after you get home. Parents who are considering changing the food can wait until the new cat is familiar with it before changing it. At that time, it will be enough to make a transition between the old and new cat food. You can bring the litter, toys, and blankets that cats used before. Many cats in cages just stay in the toilet all the time. This is because the litter box has its own smell, which is the worst. It's very safe.

There are plants poisonous to cats in that house. You should pack away medicines and fragile items in advance. A very important point is to seal the window well. After the kitten arrives home, it can stay in a relatively small environment such as a room or bathroom. If there are many cats, isolate them first, and then put the cat food You can place the water bowl and cat litter box in different locations, preferably in the corner. The cat will feel safer.​ ​​​​​​

The next step is to let it get used to it. The first two or three days are a stage for the kitten to get familiar with the environment. At this time, don’t interact with it too much. After all, there are still relatively few social-type kittens. , the most common ones are the ones that don’t eat or drink much after arriving home, and then there will be more cats in the corner. At that time, I didn’t even dare to touch them. If you give them some time, they will get used to it.

What you can do is check the water the cat drinks and whether the cat food has decreased. As long as the cat goes to the toilet, there is no big problem. One problem that is more likely to occur when a new cat comes home is loose stools. If you are eating and drinking normally, don’t panic. If the environment changes, you will be a little stressed and you will eat less. Generally it’s good to get familiar with it. If you have soft stools for two or three times in a row, you can feed some probiotics to adjust them and stay at home.After a week, if you are in good spirits and normal, you can arrange vaccination and deworming normally. ​

When deworming is done, it is usually done before deworming and then vaccinated. If it says you have been vaccinated before, just click on the vaccination time and you can follow it. Nowadays, there are many group purchases of vaccines and deworming, which can be done for less than 200.

Let me talk about it here, which is the issue of cat bathing. Many novice parents feel that their cats always smell bad, and they are eager to wash them. My suggestion is that after the vaccine is fully vaccinated, you should consider it one week later. You can refer to my cats who are bathed once every six months. So that’s all for sharing about how kittens adapt to the new environment.
