First of all, raising a cat is definitely not a tool for comparison! If you see other people raising cats and find it interesting and then raise a cat, please give up this idea, because raising a cat will be a lot more troublesome than you think!

Now let me tell you about some common problems about raising cats, including cat ringworm, ear mites, bathing, nail clipping, diet, education, play, etc.

First, cat ringworm. First of all, I would like to talk about the treatment of cat ringworm. The cat who got cat ringworm was not very serious at the time. After nearly 2 months of treatment, it now has smooth skin and shiny fur~ I originally bought clotrimazole cream. Very cheap, 3 yuan a piece. It’s very useful and can be used by people. At that time, the lady who went to the pet store introduced it to me. She had to explain that it was actually for human use, and she did not say that it could not be used for animals. I would apply medicine to it two to three times a day, and bathe it with medicine bought at the pet store every week. The dosage of medicine was relatively large at first, but as it gradually improved, the frequency of medicine was reduced. It took about 2 months for it to fully recover. Grow beautiful hair~so happy

Second, ear mites. This is very common, with brown or black dirt in the ears and a foul odor. The key point in summary is that you must persist in treatment! The two things used are: ear mite medicine and cotton swabs. It doesn’t matter which medicine you use first. An ordinary spray or drops will do. Drop it into the cat's ears according to the instructions, then let him go and let him play on his own, but if he wants to scratch his ears, you can use a shame mask. After a few minutes, wait for the ear mites to soften and use a cotton swab to clean them. If necessary, you can wet the cotton swab slightly to get the dirt out of the ears. In severe cases, clean up once a day in the early stage, and you must insist on it for a week!

Third, take a shower. This is the most painful thing in my opinion. Those cats that are quiet and well-behaved and being bathed belong to other people's homes. It was so pitiful to look at him while taking a shower. But cats are afraid of bathing because they are afraid, so I concluded that when taking a bath, I use coaxing and coaxing. I comfort and coax him gently while bathing, and occasionally scratch his chin and head. If necessary, scare him. You have to wipe your body after taking a bath. Cats will not be willing to wipe their bodies for you, so you have to do it very quickly, and then coax him to eat some snacks and then blow dry with a hair dryer.

Fourth, cut your nails. Cutting nails is much simpler than bathing, but it still requires coaxing and coaxing. If it is not happy, just pet the cat's head~ I usually cut two and give a small snack to encourage him and praise him. But if sometimes he struggles desperately, use small snacks to tempt him and distract him. At this time, don't let him eat the small snacks, which are out of reach. Wait until he successfully cuts two and give them to him. So I personally feel that this technical work still needs to be done both softly and hard. PS, don’t cut into the pink part of your nails, the master will get angry and scratch you every minute!
