IV. Living conditions required to raise Siamese cats

Siamese cat training: Just like a child, the younger the better, the better. If you cannot teach it well before one year old, it will be more difficult to change when you grow up.

Hygiene habits: In the first week after arrival, I often carry it into the sand basin, hold its forelimbs and scoop the sand back and forth. Or use cotton swabs to stimulate the vagina and anus so that they can be excreted and leave a smell. The timing is after eating, getting up, or when you see it moving around in circles. Cats have clean sex and do not need to be bathed frequently. They are very afraid of water. Just wipe them dry with a damp cloth. If they have to be washed, they may become irritable and restless. After washing, they can be dried with a dry cloth or use a dryer. , if you use a hair dryer, the results may surprise you.

Living habits: If it is not allowed on the table, it should be stopped and reprimanded.

Scratching furniture: Cats have the habit of grinding their claws, so they can only try to transfer them to a claw grinding board. Such as plastic wardrobes, sofas, etc., any slightly rough surface may be scratched. In addition to trimming its toenails every week, put smooth objects on furniture that you don’t want it to scratch, such as calendar paper, acrylic, etc. If you still can't tolerate this habit, don't force it to be raised (for the best of both parties).

Toys: Kittens have a child-like personality, and it’s fun to watch them play. There are many choices in pet supply stores, so if you want to save money, you can also do it yourselfDo it yourself. Cigarette foil or ink-free paper rolled into a ball can be used as a football. Rope, bells, shopping bags, cartons, boxes, you don’t need to spend a lot of money, it can be played happily.

Litter box: Do not overfill the cat litter box (less than half is better), otherwise you may have to sweep it away. Clean the litter box frequently to prevent the cat from getting sick due to being afraid to go to the toilet (its mysophobia may be more serious than yours).

When going out: Please put a collar and chain on it. The cat may not even recognize its owner when it changes environment. Although it is restricted, it is also protecting it. For cats that are lost after being raised by humans, it will be difficult for them to find food due to the government's policy of keeping garbage on the ground. Please do not cause lifelong regret for both parties due to a moment of negligence.

Residence: Cats are wild animals and like to be free. They don’t need Simmons or a water bed, just a rag. If they are not sick, please do not stay in a cage or a small space for a long time, otherwise they will get sick even if they are not sick. .
