Basic knowledge of raising cats
Estrus and delivery of cats
age
Compared with humans, the average life span of cats is much shorter: a well-cared domestic cat can live 13 ~ 18 years. However, food and shelter are uncertain, and with the unexpected threat of wild cats, it is said that the life span is only three years.
Many owners can learn the impermanence and preciousness of life from loving cats, and can also accept the death of loving cats. Kittens are 2 years old after birth, which is equivalent to 24 years old for humans. After that, it will increase by 4 years every 1 year, and officially enter the old age in1year.
Be in a state of excitement
In recent years, perhaps because of better nutrition, many precocious female cats enter estrus five months after birth: but the first estrus is usually 7-8 months after birth. The estrus season is from late autumn to early summer, several times a year, about 5~ 10 days each time. Ovulation occurs under the stimulation of mating without bleeding.
The male cat's sexual maturity is about l years later than that of the female cat, so it may be after the age of l that the first mating behavior occurs. But _? What lies should I tell? (3) What should I do? What are you talking about? br/>；
As long as the sex is mature, even if there is no specific object, the female cat will naturally enter estrus. Different from the female cat, the female cat will not bleed during estrus: however, it can be seen from the abnormal movements, such as fidgeting, loss of appetite, frequent urination and frequent physical contact.

On the other hand, male cats in estrus will be attracted by the body odor or cry of female cats in estrus. _ What? What about the dry man with the mouth? Duan в? ⒊ ざ?

If the female cat doesn't like it, the male cat can only go away!
companion
In order for purebred cats to give birth to kittens smoothly, you can consult pet shops, breeders or cat clubs before the female cats are in estrus. Such as mating costs, the distribution of kittens and other rules. First-time cat owners may wish to entrust experts to deal with mating matters; It is important to set terms acceptable to both parties so as to avoid unnecessary troubles in the future.
Generally, the first estrus of female cats under 1 week is not included in mating conditions; Because at this time, the female cat's body and mind are not mature enough, and she often has dystocia or can't take care of the kitten. After the second estrus of the female cat, it is a more perfect production situation.
As for the choice of male cats, it is appropriate to be over 2 years old, with good reproductive ability and rich experience. If it is an inexperienced male cat, it is best to mate with an experienced female cat.
On the premise of health, it is not suitable for consanguineous marriage: if the conditions of both parties are suitable, they can have a blind date at the male cat's house. Some cats only get along with people, and they are very afraid of strangers when they meet other cats. It takes 3-5 days to complete mating. If you have to stay in the other person's house for a few days, you should prepare sand and food for the toilet in advance.
Before dating, check for parasites, fleas or ear lice; In case of poor health, you'd better postpone it. In addition, female cats often escape from the foster care of male cats, so we must observe them carefully.
Adult male and female cats will be in estrus and have fertility. If the host can be familiar with the knowledge of blind date and production, he will not be at a loss at that time.
be pregnant
The pregnant omen of the female cat begins to appear about the third week after mating. At this time, because of its hormone secretion, the hair becomes more and more shiny, the appetite becomes better, the body hair around the breast becomes thinner, and the nipple becomes pink. At this time, the owner must not press _? Mu pro cherry? Yue Feishan Tartars? What's the problem? ヒ: Does everyone drink coffee? br/>；
After 4- 15 weeks of mating, the belly bulge is more obvious. Because the enlarged uterus rhinoceros oppresses the bladder, the female cat's frequent urination, lethargy and food intake are doubled than usual. Pregnant female cats should take enough protein and calcium to provide adequate nutrition for their babies. If constipation or diarrhea is serious, I'm afraid it will lead to miscarriage because of overexertion. It can provide fresh and digestible foods such as liver, lean meat, milk and small fish.
By the seventh week of pregnancy, the mother cat's stomach is so big that it can be seen at a glance that the kitten can be born after 62-69 days of pregnancy. Owners don't have to protect pregnant female cats, but they should pay attention to changes in the environment. Like _? What's the matter with you? Are you happy and intimate? In case the hole is uninhabitable, it will have to be temporarily closed.
produce
Two weeks before giving birth, the mother cat will walk around the house looking for a safe place to give birth. Careful teacher should be before this, for _? Fortunately, the badger hit a telephone pole? Hey? br/>；
Some people have prepared a delivery box for the mother cat at the decided place, so _? Do you think this is a good idea? Hey? Loose? Bare-armed sword Complain about the excellent staff, Mr. Guru Lao Yuan, and forgive his recording and shooting department. δ δ scandium spot? Neon sheath care? What about the 3 series sedan chair for men? br/>；
In addition to the boxes sold in the market, you can also use thick cartons to make a box that can be insulated and ventilated, which is not only cheap but also convenient!
The size is suitable for the female cat to stretch her limbs and lie on her side. The average person is about 70x60x60 cm. Make an entrance on one side of the box and reserve a height to prevent the kitten from rolling out. Leave half the roof.
Spread plastic sheets at the bottom of the box, add 10 newspaper, and then spread a thick layer of shredded newspaper, and change it as soon as it is dirty.
Don't panic on the day of production, first prepare towels, thread, scissors, gauze, facial tissues and other items and move the toilet and water to the side of the production box to reduce the physical burden of the female cat.
postpartum
After the mother cat gives birth, the most important thing is to give _? What happened? ⑾ ⑾？ Tritium research: ㄒ? Hey? What about the yellow sedan chair? Food? What's the matter with you? Gray? Hタ タ？ ∶ǎ? Gray? 3 duty book cloth pure umbrella? br/>；
At this time, food and water are still placed next to the delivery box for the mother cat to use at any time. And give more _? Look at the soup shaking umbrella (1) D phlegm mass? Poor and innocent?

Especially the mother cat who has given birth to many kittens, should pay more attention to nutrition. When the newspaper in the delivery box is dirty, change it as soon as possible while the mother cat is eating!
Healthy kittens don't have to worry. Weak kittens may not survive if they don't take good care of them. When the kitten is weak and light, it must be artificially fed. For a kitten weighing100g, drinking 15c.c a day is enough. If it develops well, it can increase by about 10 gram every day. Weigh and record the kitten regularly every day, so that you can master _? Moody pricks br/& gt；;
contraception
The female cat gives birth to 3- 15 kittens at a time, and has estrus several times a year. If you are in heat twice a year, you can give birth to 6- 10 kittens. Receiving 10 kittens every year is really a big burden, so some kittens will eventually be abandoned.
If the owner doesn't keep cats for the purpose of reproduction and doesn't want to keep too many kittens, he must ligate the mother cat.
The female cat is about 6- 10 months after birth, which is the suitable period for ligation. However, if you don't want to have a kitten, you can have it ligated before the first estrus of the female cat. This is because female cats without estrus experience are less likely to develop breast cancer. This operation is not simple. After the operation, you need to stay in hospital for 1-3 days, and you need to find a reliable hospital.
As for the castration of male cats, it can be done in the first year or so after birth. This operation is much simpler than that of a female cat. As long as the testicles are removed, it takes about 10 minutes, and you can leave the hospital on the same day.
After castration, even the grumpy male cat will become stable, and the violence in estrus and the quarrel with other male cats will be greatly reduced. Because it reduces the chance of going out, it can also reduce the disease infection caused by car accidents and bites, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. Contraceptive surgery was originally intended to reduce the number of abandoned kittens, and later it has another meaning of prolonging the life span of cat families!

Naughty Spring and Sterilization
First of all, if you can accept the fact that your pet's physical problems are not your troubles, you don't have to consider sterilization.
1. Male cats urinate everywhere at home during estrus, never letting go of their beds, sofas, curtains, clothes and even briefcases.
2. The male cat accidentally ran out of the house, got hurt in a fight with the male cat outside or was taken away by the bad guys, and probably never came back.
3. Adult female cats are in estrus every three weeks. She barks all night to attract male cats within hundreds of miles of Fiona Fang, regardless of the feelings of her family and neighbors.
Estrus is a stressful and tiring experience for female cats. She can't eat and sleep well, and she becomes thin and haggard.
Male dogs in estrus like to take fur toys, human legs, other dogs and even cats as imaginary objects and make some embarrassing actions.
6. When the bitch is in estrus, she will lose her virginity when playing with the male dog.
I can't figure it out
I believe that most people can't stand the behavior of cats and dogs, which is not implicit or considerate of others. But when it comes to putting them on the operating table, many people don't understand. Listen:
Mr. Zhao: My daughter-in-law refused to operate on it. She said, "You are so wicked!" "
Miss Wei: I don't want to deprive it of its reproductive rights. I'm very sorry about that. In addition, I heard that after the operation, I will become fat and stupid.
Mr. Ma: Sterilizing cats and dogs is definitely a violation of their rights. What a sin!
Mr. Gao: After that, he won't be a eunuch. If you are not a eunuch, you will become a "cat demon" and a "dog demon"!
Of course, some people can make sense:
Gao Zhihai: Studies have shown that the incidence of pets not being sterilized is nearly 40 times higher than that of those who have been sterilized. Especially diseases such as ovary, uterus, endocrine, testis and scrotum. In addition, neutered dogs and cats are more docile, affectionate and loyal to their owners.
Sun Li: Small animals certainly don't have the consciousness of "family planning". If their fertility is out of control, it will have serious consequences. First, families with small animals are overburdened because of the constant birth of small animals. If it can't be delivered, there will be a phenomenon of abandoned small animals on the street. Second, abandoned small animals run all over the street, and there will be feces or rotting small animal carcasses everywhere. What a sight it will be!
Han Yanhua: Sterilizing pets is love for them. It's really heartbreaking when the mother cat and the bitch can't find the baby after the cub is sent out. For a week, they didn't eat or play, sniffing around and making their owners cry. After tossing this nest, the bitch will obviously lose weight and her fur will be dull, and she will suddenly become an old cat and dog. The original lively and lovely strength will be replaced by "deep".
Dong Ling: It's better to have a pet at home, or be neutered. The owner saves worry and effort, and the pet suffers less. Zhu Yuanzhang once made a couplet for the pig killer: splitting the road of life and death with both hands is not the root of the matter. Good, good. So what do experts say?
Cats should be sterilized.
Dogs can do it or not.
Many friends who love cats lost their cats while playing with them, and many people gave up owning cats because of playing with cats, which is sad and regrettable. In fact, the solution to this problem is very simple, as long as the cat is sterilized.
Many people worry that cats will lose their original personality after sterilization and will not be as cute as before. According to a study by the University of California, castration has little effect on cats' behavior. Studies have shown that castrated cats can effectively control inappropriate behaviors (such as dividing territory with urine), and other behaviors are no different from those of castrated cats. Moreover, neutering cats will also reduce the incidence of breast cancer and ovarian tingling, making them healthier and live longer. We also advocate the sterilization of cats, because cats are too fertile. Adult female cats can have four babies a year. According to the average ratio of four babies per fetus, the number of cats will increase step by step. Directly led to an increase in stray animals on the street. According to the survey of the World Wide Fund for Nature (Hong Kong), due to the lack of suitable adopters, nearly 1 10,000 cats in Hong Kong are destroyed by human beings every year. Last June, tvbi also discussed the topic "Should cats be sterilized" and got% B.
Food that is harmful to cats.
Cats can eat human leftovers and special meals, but they can't provide a balanced diet for cats. Therefore, these foods should be fed in moderation, and cats should not develop the habit of partial eclipse.
Animal liver: Some cats love to eat animal liver and refuse to eat other foods. Animal liver contains a lot of vitamin A, but excessive intake of vitamin A can lead to muscle stiffness, neck pain, bone and joint deformation and liver diseases.
High-fat food: if the cat's diet contains a lot of high-fat fish or stale fat, it will lead to insufficient intake of vitamin E, which will cause fat inflammation and extreme pain in the cat.
Raw fish: Some raw fish contain enzymes that can destroy vitamin B 1. Lack of vitamin B 1 will lead to nervous system diseases in cats, which can be fatal in severe cases. This enzyme can be destroyed by heat, so be sure to cook the fish before feeding it to the cat.
Meat: Although the cat's diet should be mainly meat, if only the cat is fed meat, the intake of minerals and vitamins will be unbalanced, which will lead to serious bone metabolism disorder.
Dog food: The nutrients in dog food and cat food are not the same, and the nutrients in dog food cannot meet the needs of cats. Although cats and dogs are carnivores, dogs don't need as much nutrition as cats.
Cod liver oil: Be especially careful when adding extra vitamins and minerals to cats. Excessive consumption of cod liver oil will lead to excessive intake of vitamin A and vitamin D, which will lead to bone diseases.
Take care of the cat's ears.
Ear mites generally do not matter unless there are too many. Ear mites feed on the ear wall and produce brown earwax. The symptom is that cats always scratch their ears or shake their heads. If infected with the internal auditory canal, it will affect the cat's hearing and body balance. You can see whether there are ear mites with otoscope, and the veterinarian will prescribe otology drugs. The constant scratching of the ear means that there must be something wrong with the cat's ear.
Cat ears are vulnerable to all kinds of injuries. Cat fights can hurt and infect cats' ears. If you don't stop scratching, it will cause blood bubbles. If left untreated, the ear will be deformed. White cats' ears are easily frostbitten and burned, and lead to cancer. You can ask the veterinarian for some medicine for treatment. If you think cats have ears, be sure to have them examined by a veterinarian. Eardrops are usually used in this case. Veterinarians will examine cats' ears with otoscope, which is an instrument that can penetrate deep into the ear canal. Never put anything in your ears. Cats' ears are very fragile.
The language of cats.
Cats are a kind of domestic animals that people like. Cats can't talk, but they have their own language. They express their demands, wishes and feelings through different voices and diverse actions.
When a cat purrs, it will stop suddenly, and its mouth will not close immediately. This usually expresses two meanings: one is to greet you, for example, when you come home from work, the cat at home greets you like this; The second is to make a request. If the cat barks in front of the refrigerator, it means that it is hungry and asks you for something to eat. If it barks in front of the closed door, it means it wants to go out to play. Cats often meow loudly when they are injured, extremely painful or dying; The injured cat purred at the vet, which may be a signal that friendship is needed; Mimi may be an expression of gratitude to the host for friendship.
A cat sometimes purrs to show that it is satisfied. If the cat is injured, even if it is badly injured, it will still purr as long as it lies in its owner's arms.
If you say something affectionate to a cat, it may roll on the spot, stretch its limbs, open its mouth, wave its claws and gently shake the tip of its tail, which shows its infinite trust in its owner. For strangers, cats will not take the risk of making this gesture, because lying on their backs will be extremely fragile.
When the cat is happy, its ears stand up, its beard relaxes, its pupils remain unchanged and its tail tip twitches. If its ears stand upright backward, the tips of its ears bend inward, its pupils shrink into a crack, and its beard stands up forward, then it is angry. If you just put your ears back, that means "don't". For example, if you give it something it doesn't like, it means refusal. If a stranger comes, he will lie under the bed and put his ear to his head, which is a sign of his fear.
Cats like to rub against your legs, partly because they want to be friendly, but sometimes to comfort you. Because people will emit different emotional odors in their emotions, forming an emotional odor field. Cats are very sensitive to this smell. When their owners are depressed, they will take the initiative to rub your hands and feet to comfort you.
In addition, the cat's tail is also a tool to express emotions. When it meets new situations or is very happy, its tail often twitches violently; It is found that when a mouse or other small animal is ready to attack, its tail is in a straight line with its body, and its body is facing down and parallel to the ground, with only its tail tip swinging slightly from side to side. When fighting with the enemy or being very angry, the whole tail will beat the ground violently; When frightened and frightened, the tail will tremble; When begging for food from the owner, the tail stands upright, almost at right angles to the body; When you sleep, your tail will be around.
It's better to cut a cat's toenails less than more.
If your cat lives indoors for a long time, you should get into the habit of cutting its toenails regularly. Otherwise, its toenails will grow into the meat toes, causing infection, so it is necessary to see a veterinarian. Although some pet hospitals can remove cats' paws and toes by surgery now, it will make cats lose their natural self-defense ability, so it is best not to do so.
Cutting a cat's toenails is like this: one hand gently hugs the cat's chest, and the other hand grabs its claws. Gently squeeze out its toenails with your fingers. Cut off the white claw tips with sharp scissors or special cat nail clippers. Don't cut the sensitive pink part, or the cat will bleed. If you are not sure, you would rather cut less.
Knowledge of bathing cats and dogs.
The hot summer is coming, and people have to take a bath when it is hot. What about dogs and cats?
There is a lot of knowledge about bathing dogs and cats. First of all, cats and dogs can only enjoy bathing treatment when they are 2 to 3 months old. In addition, vaccinated dogs and cats can't bathe for two weeks. There are no strict rules on the frequency of bathing cats and dogs, but they should not be allowed to "bathe" at will. Generally, cats and dogs should take a bath when they are dirty or have an odor; Dogs and cats have mud on them. If they can brush them off after drying, they don't need to take a shower. Some cats and dogs need to be washed/kloc-0 times a month, and some need to be washed several times. Such as white dogs and cats, the skin and coat are easy to get dirty, so you can take a bath every 2 ~ 4 weeks or even once a week. However, the more times you take a bath, the better. Too frequent bathing will wash off the sebum on the skin and reduce the skin's resistance, thus easily causing fungal, mite and bacterial infections.
You should also master certain methods in bathing. Before washing, you should comb your coat, straighten it or cut off the felt. In addition, people should use shampoo and shower gel to take a bath. It is best to use shampoo and detergent special for dogs and cats in bathing, and neutral soap, shampoo or baby detergent can also be used.
Don't let the cat eat raw fish.
Eating undercooked fish will make cats lack vitamin B 1, because raw fish will produce an enzyme to destroy vitamin B 1. Lack of vitamin B 1 in cats may lead to spasm, heart disease and intermittent shock.
Let cats and dogs live in peace.
1. Usually, cats and dogs express their emotions in different ways. Dogs extend their paws to show friendliness, but cats think it's provocation. Even if dogs are harmless, they will greet them with excessive enthusiasm, while cats are generally unacceptable because of their calm and lofty nature.
2. Before you are sure that your cat and dog can live in peace, you should chain the dog so that the dog and cat can get familiar with each other's smells quietly. Dogs will be more honest and cats will be more at ease.
3. When cats and dogs meet, leave a retreat for cats, such as beside a tree or furniture where only cats can go. You can also leave a small door for cats that dogs can't get in, so that when cats are scared, they have a way to escape.
Before they become friends, they should be prevented from getting too close.
If both cats and dogs are male, consider neutering them separately. Because sterilized male animals will have a weak sense of territory and their temperament will become much gentler.
6. If you already have a hunting dog, you'd better not consider owning a cat, because most hunting dogs have the nature of chasing small animals. Especially Lingti and Damamachi.
Love me, don't get me wrong.
Myth: Even if many cats in the family have lived in peace, they should have their own nests. No!
Truth: Although cats have a strong sense of territory, they share a nest with other cats.
For families with many cats, it is good to clean the nest often.
Myth: Sterilization will shorten the life span of cats. No!
Truth: Sterilized cats live two to three years longer than cats without surgery.
Myth: The color of the kitten's eyes will not change. No!
Solution: Cats that just open their eyes are usually blue, and it will take several months for their eyes to become the final color.
Myth: Cats are omnivores. No!
Truth: Cats are carnivores. They need food with high protein content, and their digestive system is very slow to grains, fruits and vegetables.
Myth: Cats need milk to stay healthy.
Truth: Cats really like milk. Kittens can produce enzymes to digest milk, but adult cats can't, so many adult cats will have diarrhea when they drink milk.
Well, I admit, it's a lot, but these are important contents and can't be ignored.
In addition, you remember that cats and people are actually the same. They should be warm and soothing.
Okay, I'm floating away.
