How to choose healthy kittens

Holding a cat in one hand feels heavier than it looks, which is one of the important signs to judge whether a kitten is healthy or not. Photo model: A yellow, round son should have a healthy pink mouth and no bad breath. The coat is smooth and flat, and no small black spots are found when the coat is lifted (the small black spots may be flea excrement). Eyes should be clear and bright, no gum, smart eyes, not afraid of people watching, not afraid of light. The nose should be cold and wet, and there is no secretion around it. The ears are clean, and there is no black earwax in the ear shell. Scratching and smelling ears are signs of ear parasites. The touch of the body should not be too fat or too thin, and the skeleton should be strong. Kittens who feel a little thinner may have digestive problems. The stomach should be slightly raised, and an excessively raised stomach is a symptom of digestive tract parasites. The buttocks and surrounding hair should be clean, free of dirt and secretions. Weight and teeth are the main basis for judging the age of kittens. Please refer to parameter comparison. If possible, go and see the kitten's parents. Healthy parents are the guarantee of children's strength. If you want to have a long-haired cat with white and blue eyes, be careful! This kind of cat may have congenital deafness due to genetic reasons. When picking, you can rub your index finger and thumb behind its ear and observe its reaction. Kittens with thin ears will turn around at once when they hear this sound. I would also like to remind you that most cats on the market took a bath the day before they were sold, so it is not easy to see whether there are signs of diarrhea or illness from their body surfaces. On the first day of bringing the cat home, carefully observe whether its excrement is normal, whether it catches a cold, and whether it sneezes. Finally, it takes some experience to pick cats. Try not to buy cats in the market if possible. It is recommended to adopt a cat to a family or animal protection organization.
