Cats had better not take a bath often, usually once every two months, because there is grease on cat hair, which can be waterproof and dustproof. If you take a bath often, this oil will be washed away, but cats are easy to get dirty, and because of dry skin, it is easy to cause skin diseases and parasites to invade.
Cats over twelve weeks need to know about parasites inside and outside their bodies regularly.
For ectoparasites, you can use a bottle of fleas from Simmons, which is less than 30 ml in 25 yuan. It is non-toxic and can be used by pregnant cats. Remember to buy it for cats, not dogs. This medicine can remove fleas, ear mites and ticks. However, there are fakes on the market at present, so you must buy them in a regular pet store.
You can spray cat hair all over your body, and then massage it with your hands to make the medicine penetrate evenly. Basically, there will be no fleas in two days, and a bottle can be used many times.
Fulaien has a good effect, but it is expensive and needs to be used up at one time, so it is not suitable for home use.
Don't buy chlorpheniramine, although it looks cheap, but such a small bottle is not cheap, and it is toxic, harmful to the cat's skin and will fester.
And don't put a collar on your cat. The medicine in the collar is very toxic and will be useless after three months. Most importantly, if your cat is free-range, it will climb trees. It will be dangerous if the collar hooks on a branch.
To get rid of parasites in the body, you can buy Anle insect repellent tablets produced by Xi Anyansen for cats. A box of six tablets is only about 2.6 yuan. The dosage is half a tablet, twice a day, for three days, and the worms in the stomach will be knocked down.
Albendazole tablets, an anthelmintic drug, can be used to treat single infection and mixed infection of pinworm, ascaris lumbricoides, trichuris, hookworm duodenum, strongyloides faecalis and tapeworm. After eating, the insects will basically be discharged on the same day, and the cat will not feel any discomfort.
Don't eat sausage, which has a strong reaction, mainly for ascaris. Tapeworms, roundworms, pinworms and hookworms are common insects in cats' stomachs.
Worm the cat every three to four months.
Even cats bought in pet shops need to be vaccinated to feel at ease, but in rare cases, they are in danger because of their own immune system.
A cat nest is very important, mainly depending on how you plan to raise it.
If it is free-range, cats will have fleas more or less. It is recommended to use cartons or plastic sorting boxes, put towels and mats in them, and then throw them away and change them directly. If it is made of cloth, flea eggs are easy to parasitize in it, and cats don't want to go in it in the future.
If it is made in China, there will be no flea problem. You can use cloth or velvet.
Cat food can now choose young cat food, and cats can change cat food when they are one year old.
Give the kitten more dry food. Wet food can easily lead to tooth decay or calculus. Dry food can help grind teeth and clean up the food left on teeth.
When eating dry food, clean drinking water is always around, usually three or four meals a day, or cat food and water are left behind. Kittens will eat when they are hungry.
In addition, put the litter box in a quiet corner, because cats don't like to go to the toilet in noisy environment.
