I believe it is the dream of most girls to raise a cat of their own, but we have to have a plan in advance on how to raise a cat well. Seeing other people’s cats are lively and cute, do you have the ability, energy and ability? Time? If you have done enough preparations, then you must not miss this crucial step of "cat shopping". So how can you choose a cat that suits you?

Cats are becoming more and more popular among families, and many people are beginning to consider raising cats. But how to choose a new friend is very important for first-time families. Because its appearance may bring you joy or trouble or even pain.

The first thing is to choose the variety.

The difference between long-haired and short-haired cats lies in daily grooming and care. You have to consider whether you have sufficient energy and time and can devote the same effort. When choosing purebred cats, you should pay attention to the characteristics of each cat species. They may be able to participate in competitions and breed in the future, but it is recommended that novices should strengthen their training in breeding knowledge and skills. If it is purely for companionship, choosing domestic cats is similar, and the price is even cheaper. There may be free adoptions online.

The second consideration is age.

Since adult cats have been stereotyped, you can see their size, coat color, and health at a glance, making it easy to decide whether they are suitable for you to raise. However, you need to know whether they have some bad habits that you cannot bear. The most important thing when choosing a kitten is to make sure it has been weaned and can eat dry food, usually around eight weeks old. In the early stages of raising a kitten, the owner needs to pay more attention to it, spend more time with it to develop feelings, and train it to develop good living habits. Kittens are highly adaptable. , Only when you grow up with a good education will you become a good breast that everyone loves.

The last step is the physical examination.

Except for self-bred kittens introduced by friends or acquaintances, if you go to a pet store, it is best to compare among a group of kittens. Bright eyes with no secretions are a sign of health; white teeth and pink gums are most important, and the most important thing is not to have bad breath; the nose should be soft and moist, without runny nose, and the breathing should be steady and smooth; the kitten's anus should be clean , gently pull up the tail to check whether there are any stains from diarrhea or secretions on the surrounding hair; the ears should be dry and clean; the coat color should also be smooth, shiny, and soft, and brush it aside to see if there are any parasites such as fleas. ; You can use the cat stick to tease and observe the most flexible and active kittens. About a week after purchasing and raising the pet at home, it is best to go to the pet hospital for a health checkup and vaccination.
