How to raise exotic short-haired cats?

Exotic short-haired cats are also called exotic short-haired cats and short-haired Persian cats. They are quiet, lovely, warm, sweet, informal and loyal, as quiet and close to people as Persian cats, and as naughty and clever as American shorthair cats. Let's take a look at how to raise exotic short-haired cats! First, the kitten breeding of foreign short-haired cats 1, the kittens of foreign short-haired cats are immediately put in the prepared toilet for the cats to smell, then taken to the food basin and placed in the cat nest to rest. Generally, you don't want to come out because you are afraid of getting under the bed or sofa. They will walk around the house, smelling the east and the west. Don't interfere with the cat's freedom of movement too much, and let the cat get familiar with the environment as much as possible, which is very helpful to integrate into the family as soon as possible.

2. The vision of foreign short-haired cats and kittens will gradually develop after three months. At night, for kittens under three months old, light a desk lamp or a wall lamp to prevent them from peeing in bed because they can't find a toilet. Being able to ask the former owner of the kitten for the bedding in the cat's sleeping nest and put it in the new cat's nest will greatly reduce the discomfort and help to establish feelings with the cat quickly.

3. In the first day or two, foreign short-haired cats have strong adaptability, but their mood will be unstable due to environmental changes. If they want to switch to new cat food, they can gradually complete this change in 1 ~ 2 weeks. First, add a small amount of new cat food to the original cat food, gradually increase the amount of new cat food, and gradually adapt to the food formula to prevent indigestion caused by sudden change of food.

Second, the common sense of raising exotic short-haired cats 1, animal liver: Animal liver contains a lot of vitamin A, but excessive intake of vitamin A will lead to muscle stiffness, neck pain, bone and joint deformation and liver diseases.

2, high-fat food: cats' diet contains a lot of high-fat fish or stale fat, which will lead to insufficient intake of vitamin E, which in turn will cause inflammation of cat body fat and extreme pain.

3. Raw fish: Some raw fish contain enzymes that can destroy vitamin B 1. Lack of vitamin B 1 can lead to nervous system diseases in cats, which can be fatal in severe cases. This enzyme can be destroyed by heat.

4. Meat: Although the cat's diet should be mainly meat, if only the cat is fed meat, it will lead to uneven intake of minerals and vitamins, which will lead to serious bone metabolism disorder.

5. Dog food: The nutrients in dog food and cat food are different, 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.

6. 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.

Third, the breeding method of foreign short-haired cats 1, foreign short-haired cats, like ordinary cats, eat professional cat food and feed Persian cats special food, and small squares will be easier to eat in their mouths. At the same time, due to the super docile character of foreign short-haired cats, they are easily attacked by other pets, so don't put cats with pets that are too aggressive. Moreover, a short and flat nose is prone to lacrimal duct obstruction, so pay attention to facial cleaning.

2. In spring, foreign short-haired cats become energetic and all kinds of physiological activities and behaviors are very active. Although estrus occurs all year round, it is mostly in early spring (1~ March). Under normal circumstances, the estrus of exotic short-haired cats will not be particularly different from peacetime.

Summer is the breeding season for mosquitoes, flies, fleas and ticks. We must do a good job in preventing mosquitoes, flies, ticks and ticks from foreign short-haired cats to prevent diseases. In winter, the weather is cold and the light time is short, so it is necessary to get more sunshine, especially for growing kittens. The ultraviolet rays in sunlight not only have the function of disinfection and sterilization, but also can promote the absorption of calcium, promote the growth and development of bone chromium and prevent rickets in young cats.

4. Although foreign short-haired cats are short-haired cats, we should also pay attention to the usual combing problems. Comb your hair at least once a week. Caring for your cat's hair is a compulsory course for your owner. Combing can remove a lot of dead hair, which is the fundamental way to remove hair, and it can also avoid hair knotting, and at the same time, it can also play a massage role, promote blood circulation and enhance skin health. Only healthy skin is the key to not losing hair.

Treat foreign short-haired cats like children, take good care of them at ordinary times, and take precautions before they happen. Don't wait until the cat is ill to remember to give it medicine and injections. The key to health is scientific diet, moderate exercise, clean and comfortable environment, full enjoyment of sunshine and regular vaccination to prevent diseases.

Fourth, the daily care of foreign short-haired cats 1, seasonal changes: when the climate changes from cold to hot, the hormones in cats will change, prompting the coarse hair to fall off and grow new hair. Simply put, it is to take off the winter clothes and put on the summer clothes. There is no way to stop this kind of hair loss. The only thing we can do is to take regular care, and taking a bath is also a very effective method.

2. Malnutrition: It is ruled out that the possible cause of cat hair loss after weather changes is malnutrition, and the common cause is insufficient protein or insufficient vitamin intake. Families in China often feed their cats with rice. If cats don't get enough protein, meat fish will lose their hair, or even lose their hair completely. Therefore, the proportion of fish in cats' food should be increased.

3. Health problems: The exotic short-haired cat is a small animal that is prone to illness. If they are in poor spirits, have a bad appetite and have abnormal hair loss, they are probably ill. At this time, you should take your cat to the doctor for examination, and the doctor will provide professional advice.

4, cat grooming: don't think it is very troublesome to comb the cat. If you get into the habit every day, the cat will feel very comfortable and willing to play this game every day. Because combing your hair every day can remove a lot of dead hair, this is a method to remove hair roots, and it can also avoid hair knotting, and at the same time, it also plays a massage role, promotes blood circulation and enhances skin health. Only healthy skin is the key to not losing hair.

5. Moderate bathing: Some parents can't wait to bathe the cat every day, and some parents don't wash the cat once a year or so. Actually, this is not right. The correct cat bath should be once every 5 to 7 days in summer and once every 7 to 10 days in winter. If you see a cat shedding its hair, it is absolutely wrong to bathe repeatedly. Taking a bath too often will only destroy the skin tissue, cause more terrible hair loss, and make the cat's skin sensitive and fragile, and it is easy to suffer from various skin diseases.

6. Choose shampoo: Cat skin is neutral, so you should use a pet-specific shampoo, which is not suitable for people with alkaline shampoo. Because these substances will damage the cat's skin, cause allergies and lead to hair removal.
