Young white-collar workers who live alone in the city are increasingly interested in keeping a pet to accompany them. The editor recently also wanted to keep a cat, so he happily bought the cat’s litter box, cat litter, food utensils and other items, and prepared them. I went to the cattery to choose a suitable cat, but when I stood in front of a group of cute animals, I suddenly felt at a loss. I don’t know how to choose a healthy cat? Do you know?

1. Determine whether the cat is healthy from its appearance

Eyes: bright and energetic, no secretions

Nose: moist and shiny

Oral cavity: ruddy mucosa, no bloodshot eyes, white teeth, and healthy gums

Ears: clean, no dark brown discharge, no odor

Coat: soft, clean, shiny, no parasites, no dandruff, no shedding

Anus: No feces sticking

Body shape: Appropriate weight, not too thin, shoulder blades not too prominent

2. Determine whether the cat is healthy from its behavior

Highly close to people and does not avoid strangers when seeing them; likes to play with cat toys and can respond quickly to cat toys; has a strong sense of direction and is lively and active.

3. Determine whether the cat is healthy from the cat’s diet and excretion

The cat is over three months old (at least two months old, try not to buy any younger cat), has been weaned, can eat kitten food well, is not picky about food, and eats an appropriate amount; daily excretion is normal, with one or two bowel movements. , a formed brown strip, urinating 2 to 4 times a day, without difficulty in urinating or frequent urination.

Although you should try to choose a healthy cat when choosing a cat, the most important thing is to choose a cat that you particularly like and will be particularly close to you, so that the intimacy between you and the cat will be higher, and then I need more love from you!
