How to raise a Birman cat? Since almost no one around me has ever raised a Birman cat, many people have trouble raising Birman cats. So today I will tell you about Birman cats. Feeding tips!

1. Deworming and immunization are required

Make sure that Bowman cats are regularly injected with rabies and other vaccines. When bitten or scratched by a cat, they should go to the hospital for treatment in time. Cats should be dewormed regularly. If the cat is not used for breeding, it is best to castrate the cat.

2. Feed with caution

When raising Birman cats at home, you should also pay attention to keeping the food eaten by humans as much as possible and not letting cats chew it. Once you find food that has been chewed by your cat, it is best to throw it away and not eat it again. When feeding animal liver to cats, it is best not to feed it more than 1-2 times a week. Otherwise, Birman cats will easily get sick if they eat too much. During the growth and development period of Birman cats, as well as during the period of pregnancy and lactation, some raw meat, raw liver, and milk can be appropriately fed to prevent Birman cats from suffering from vitamin deficiency. If you find that your Birman cat has oral ulcers, weight loss, etc., you can also feed it some raw meat or raw animal liver.

3. Training methods that combine strength and softness

When training young Pomeranian cats, you should use both hardness and softness. Hardness means strict requirements, and strong stimulation can be given when necessary. Softness means having a kind attitude, being patient and meticulous, and giving rewards in a timely manner. Avoid spanking and rough treatment of kittens. Help kittens develop good conditioned reflexes. When you need to catch or hold a Bowman cat, do not scratch the Bowman cat's ears, pull the cat's tail or scratch its limbs. Otherwise, the cat's ears may be easily broken or bitten or scratched by the cat. The correct method should be: use your right hand to grab the cat's neck or back skin, quickly hold the cat with your left hand, and at the same time stroke the cat's head with your right hand.

IV. Care of pregnant cats

For pregnant cats, it is best not to be too picky, otherwise the pregnant cat will be overweight, especially in the later stages of pregnancy, otherwise it will cause dystocia in the pregnant cat. When a pregnant cat is giving birth, you should pay attention to keeping the environment quiet and dark, and avoid letting people watch or touch the pregnant cat. Otherwise, the normal delivery of pregnant cats will be affected, and the mother cat will refuse to feed or eat her cubs. After a cat gives birth, it is best not to disturb the female cat. Do not clean the birthing box, let alone move it casually. Do not touch the kitten. If you need to move it, do not catch it directly with your hands. You should first put on clean thread gloves or use a clean cloth to smear the excrement or secretions of the female cat before touching the kitten. To prevent the female cat from resisting capture and eating her cubs.

Five, Dealing with the cat’s death

After the Birman cat dies, the body of the dead cat must be disposed of. Whether the bodies of cats died normally or died due to infectious diseases or poisoning, they must be deeply buried or burned. Don't take chances to avoid future troubles. It is best to bury or burn the dead cat's utensils together to prevent infecting other cats or causing environmental pollution.

If you find that your cat has some abnormal behavior during the maintenance process, you should seek help from a veterinarian in time to avoid the situation where the cat becomes sick but does not receive timely treatment. In addition, because there are relatively few people raising Birman cats, owners can read some information before buying a Birman cat and understand the cat’s basic living habits, susceptibility to diseases, etc. before deciding whether to raise a Birman cat. .
