Although I have been raising a cat for a long time, I still can’t forget the excitement of raising a cat for the first time! Novice wants to raise his first cat. How should we choose so many cute kittens?
First: Looking at the facial features
Looking at the facial features of a cat includes looking at the ears, nose, eyes and mouth. The appearance of these organs can show some of the inner problems of the cat.
① Look at the ears
Healthy cats should have clear and clean ears. If the ears are black and dirty, it is very likely that otitis externa is caused by earwax.
②Look at the nose
Healthy cats have relatively dry noses. If they have sticky snots or always sneezes, it means that they may have inflammatory infections.
③Look at the eyes
If there is eye boredom, blood congestion or tears in the eyes of a cat, it may be sick. To confirm whether the cat will stare at the object in front of him and whether the line of sight will move with the moving object.
④ Look at the mouth
If the cat has a lot of saliva, it means it may be suffering from stomatitis or injured. If the cat has bad breath, it may be because it has gingivitis.
Second: Look at the limbs
We confirm whether the muscle thickness of the cat's limbs is moderate and whether there are any injuries to the claws and meat pads. You need to carefully observe whether the cat is walking. If the legs and feet are not straight or there are bumps, it is very likely that it is sick.
Third: Look at the body, the healthy cat has a well-proportioned body, and you can feel heavy and elastic when you pick it up. However, cats of different breeds are of different sizes, and even at the same age, they will be strong and slender, so they need to be confirmed according to the specific breed.
Secondly, look at the cat's belly. If it is a kitten that is several months old, its belly is usually round. However, if your stomach is too bulging, you should consider whether you have parasites or other diseases, or whether you have constipation.
Then look at the cat's buttocks, healthy cat anus is completely tightened. If you find that the cat's anus is red and sagging, it may be because of parasites and other reasons.
Fourth: When looking at hair, you must first confirm the color of the hair. The coat of healthy cats usually looks smooth and shiny. Secondly, we need to see if the cat's hair is evenly distributed. If there are few hairs in some places, it may be that it is suffering from some diseases such as dermatitis. Also, be careful whether the cat has scars, scabs or fleas.
Fifth: Depend on personality
Cats can survive independently, but since they have decided to raise cats, of course, I hope that cats can live in harmony with us as relatives. Therefore, it is best to be active and docile in character and to be close to humans!
First check whether the cat can run and jump easily, see if the cat is interested in toys, whether the phone sounds healthy, whether it has appetite, etc. These all show the activity of the cat.
Secondly, you can gently stroke it to see if the cat is willing to accept the touch. If you show that you are willing to get close to you, you will be more pleasant to get along in the future.
The above are the key points for choosing a healthy cat! Since you have decided to accept a small life into your own life, you must take responsibility! After all, it only accompanys you in one journey of life, but you are its whole world.
