You must have a cat of your own. It is recommended that you choose a cat that has only eyesight, one that you really like, and live hand in hand for the rest of your life.
Companion
A cat can accompany you for more than 10 years, which is a long or pleasant time , some issues have to be considered.
We can’t just focus on our own feelings, but also the attitudes of our family, friends, partners, and roommates who live with us.
Is it acceptable for family members or roommates?
The family or roommates need to agree to keep cats, and they have long-term affection or long-term tolerance for cats.
Can your future partner accept it? If you are single, can future friends accept it?
Single is easy! You can choose someone who likes cats.
If you like cats, your friends usually like them too. After all, people are divided into groups, and people with the same hobbies are easy to get together.
If he (she) doesn’t like it, you should consider whether the other party likes you?
Do you two have a common hobby?
What if you like it?
Of course, the above expression is a little exaggerated.
After getting married
If you are newly married, have you considered having children? Continue to hurt the cat and take good care of it?
Of course, this is a bit far, but it does reduce a stray cat.
Residential Pass
Is there enough living space?
Cats need space to sleep, eat, defecate, and play. If the living space is too small, it is not suitable for cats.
After all, people also need space to live, study, and work. Too crowded cats will affect you.
Is it safe to live in?
Cats are prone to slip and fall from windowsills or balconies while playing.
Create a safe living environment for cats, just like before adding children to the home, use invisible nets or window screens to close balconies and windows to avoid all accidents.
Economy
Can the financial capacity support cats?
The cost of raising a cat is not low, except for the initial one-time investment,
The basic cost is about 150 yuan/month, which includes cat litter
, cat food, cats Grass, scratching board, deworming, cleaning, etc.
This cost can only guarantee the basic needs of the cat. If you want to improve the quality of life of the cat, the cost will be more.
Are you willing to see a cat?
One of the most important expenses for raising cats is medical expenses. There is no medical insurance for cats in China, and it is more expensive for cats to see a doctor than people.
Compared with human food, veterinary food is less regulated. The quality of cat food produced in China is questionable, and long-term consumption of additives and preservatives may have a greater impact on the cat’s body.
If the cat gets sick, it will cost two or three thousand or more expensive than buying a new one. Will you still treat it?
Physical concerns
Is the constitution suitable for raising cats?
Some studies show that cats can reduce the external sensitivity of allergic constitution, which can be said to be a good news for people with allergies.
Allergens may be different for each person, and different people may be allergic to cat hair or cat dander,
sneezing, itchy eyes, difficulty breathing, erythema and rash and other symptoms.
This symptom cannot be completely cured, and can only be relieved by daily cleaning and disinfection.
Before adopting a cat, you must test whether you are allergic to it. Stay in contact with the cat for a period of time. You can use your nails to feel the dander under the cat’s fur to test whether you are allergic.
Of course, this attempt is not completely accurate. You know better whether you are suitable if you have contact with cats before raising cats than if you have never contacted them.
Time Off
Have enough time to care for the cat?
Although cats are suitable for otaku, they don’t need to go out every day like dogs.
But raising cats really takes time, preparing cat food and cleaning cat toilets are the most basic.
Regularly grooming, clipping nails, brushing teeth, cleaning ears, bathing, swimming, etc., all take a lot of time.
It takes not only time but also skill, otherwise it will take you more time to bathe it than to bathe yourself.
The cat is not as obedient to you as the dog. You want it to like swimming or walking obediently, and it takes much more effort than the dog.
Cats can be clingy at times
Cats can be clingy at times, especially when you’re working from home , it runs over to let you rub it, rub it back and forth on you, and lie on your keyboard.
Are you licking it or continue to work without peace of mind?
Companionship
Have any other pets in the house before?
If there are other pets such as dogs or groundhogs in the house and want to add a cat, it will test the owner’s patience.
It’s like if you want to have 2 children, you need to ask the boss’s feelings, enlighten him, so as not to be lost or jealous.
They all have territorial awareness. It is recommended that before contacting them, take the initiative to divide the sphere of influence for them, and then remove the isolation after they are familiar with it.
After they are familiar with you, they will not fight under your watch; even if you are ready to attack, you can stop them in time, usually the weaker side is more aggressive.
