Cats and dogs are common sense

"Catal Guide"

Humans are roughly divided into two types: cats who love cats and those who do not have the nature of cats. The heart of cat love is deeply engraved in the soul of human beings, and it has a long history. For centuries, cats have been very important to humans. Cat was a symbol of auspiciousness, was awed and cherished by humans, and was also regarded as the incarnation of the devil, and was massacred.
when did cats start to be pets?
About 3000 BC. In ancient Egypt, the first domesticated cat was used to control mouse harm, and gradually became a loved family partner, and was even worshiped. The Egyptians were very impressed with this flexible, strong, secretive, secret, and mouse hunter who was able to set up mice to death, and began to wait for them to be like a sacred object. The Egyptians call these gods as "Meow" (MIW). When the "meow" died, the owner had to mourn, painted anticorrosive sesame oil on the cat, put it in the coffin, and sent it to the Baster Temple in Bastis. The ancient Egyptians made a large number of dead cats into mummy. Scientists studied these cats, so they proved that the cats originated in African wild cats. (See "the most direct close relatives of the cat",*41-42). In ancient times, cats were also domesticated in the Far East, but time was later than Egypt. Some authoritative people believe that China began to raise cats in 2000 BC, while others believed that China did not start to raise cats until 400 AD.
The cats were passed from Egypt to Italy, and then gradually passed to the entire Europe, winning "admirers" in many countries. But in the Middle Ages, cats were in bad luck. The Christian Church was unwilling to associate with the idols of pagans and launched a movement of persecution cats. Perhaps because the cat has an incredible agility, superstitious people believe that the witch can be deformed into a cat. This view has caused the unfortunate consequences of cats -often burned to death by Christians, because they believe that cats are the embodiment of the devil. However, when cats' use is re -recognized, the phenomenon of cats gradually disappears. By the 18th century, cats became common animals in the family. In the 19th century, cats had been very popular. By the end of the 19th century, at the first cat exhibition, the early purebred cats were displayed (see "What is a cat exhibition?",*178).
What is the value of cats as pets?
The money to buy cat flowers is not much. You can also get a non -pure cat from a friend or a charity. Even if you buy a purebred kitten from a cat, compared with other pets such as dogs or pony, the cost of feeding cats can be said to be minimal.
Although it is not much to buy cats and raising cats, for the new owner of the cat, a cat is simply a priceless treasure. People can tease their cats, they can also use their cats, and they can add an elegant atmosphere to their homes.
The cats can also be raised. The owner wants to go to work, and the cat is still the best pet, because cats do not need to take care of them all day. The elderly are accompanied by cats and benefit a lot; young people take care of their pets can increase their knowledge. It is not difficult to raise a cat: raising cats is not like dog raising, and it needs to be led to outdoor activities, and it is not as expensive of a full set of technical equipment like fish tanks.
has established a good relationship with cats
Cats are not like dogs. It is unwilling to be "possessed" at all, and its independence is never allowed to be deprived. To establish a good relationship with cats, you should not be used as property, but you should try to see it as guests who live in your home. Cats are willing to spend time with you. Except for simple food, it does not require any remuneration (see "cat feeding"). You must cultivate feelings with cats. Cats and dogs are different. It will not stay with the poor owner for blind loyalty. But on the other hand, if the owner understands it and appreciates it, it can receive it, and it will be reported and respected. In order to win the feelings of your cat friend, you must understand the habit of the cat and treat the cat friends in your home based on this.
The habit of cats
Cats can be regarded as a perfect animal. Nature has arranged it perfectly: cats look good, fulfill their duties, live independently, do not rely on the owner, contribute more, and ask less. Cat's sensory organs are extremely perfect and can always make a keen response to the environment around it. All cats are born with noble characteristics. The family cats are proud of the most secretive, most keen, most dangerous, most beautiful and brave mammals on the planet. Compared with the American lion, cats are very docile, but it is not like other domesticated animals such as dogs. Cats also have a slightly wild and independent taste.
Indeed, compared with other livestock, cats have been domesticated much later. The cat was stubborn, never shaking his tail, and begging. If you want your pet to become a slave, you should not choose a cat, but you should raise a dog.
. Although cats and dogs are typical carnivores, cats are more suitable for hunting tasks. Generally speaking, wild dogs are predated in groups, and wild cats, except for some lions, risks to go out to predator alone. Like the wild "distant relatives", the domesticated cats are also alone. Due to this characteristic, cats are particularly suitable for pets for individualists.
D modern dogs because of close relationships with human beings, their physique and wolf's wild ancestors have been very different. The condition of the cat is different. Whether it is the long hair cat or Siamese cat on the exhibition desk, it is still similar to its ancestor in terms of physical and personality. The sleeping position is lying elegantly on the small sleeping, ginger cat by the fireplace, and its bones are a leopard cat; the female sparrow cat stared at the sparrows with eyes staring at the grass, from its face, You can see the eyes of a pair of tigers. Indeed, there are many fun in the family who can enjoy a cat in the family. One of them is that they can observe this kind of fighter with a very deep martial arts in the ancient times. In fact, it is the basic habits of cats that promote cats with human beings. When the human life model is shifted from hunting to farming and collecting food, the cat's bravery is used to capture the mouse, so it evolves into domestication.
The ability of cat hunting is high and strong, because the cat's actions are extremely secretive and agile (see "Has",*190-191). When the cat catches the rat, it is not necessarily hungry, but it is rather to be performing a sports or game. Many people think that cats are cruel and difficult to understand. For example, when the cat caught the prey, it would not bite it immediately, but would rather tease the unfortunate prey before biting it. However, we cannot apply human moral standards to beasts. Cats do this just to practice skills. This instinct should not be punished. In addition, many hunters such as cats use dual standards. On the one hand, it is applauded for the cat's ability to get rid of the mouse in the home, but on the other hand, it criticizes the way of cat capture birds.
A as a hunter, the cat's vision is very good (see Chapter 1 "Eyes", pages 28-30). Most of the day, cats are keen observing the surrounding environment. If it becomes "emotionally active", it may be that it comes with the time when it captures the prey. It will lurk in the places where it is difficult to find: such as in the short trees, behind the big tree, behind the half -hidden door, or in the high grass. If it wants to rest and sleep for a while, it will choose a favorable terrain that can attack attack: outdoors, you may choose the wall, roof or affiliated building; in the room, it feels that the safer place is a chair or bed. Even when the cat is dozing, its senses are still receiving messages. When there is a dangerous movement, the cat can jump up immediately to deal with the situation. Therefore, cats are still "alert" while sleeping and are ready to resist the invaders at any time.
The cat has strong curiosity. Why is this? Why do cats take care of an empty paper bag, drill into the cupboard or the shed in the garden? Some reasons are: cats are always foraging, looking for prey that can be captured, or finding a warm place, can curl up dozing dozing. The reason for another part is that Cat Tenno loves adventure and has a strong interest in the surrounding world. For example: a bold cat may enter a neighbor without a cat when we wander. If it is welcomed, it will treat the neighbor as a "villa". When you go out, the cat will visit there. Unfortunately, the curiosity of cats is not exactly beneficial to cats. As the saying goes, good management will attract the calamity of the body. The owner of the responsibility should protect the cat, as if the parents protect their children, so that it can be exempted from the potential danger that it is unaware! However, do not protect excessive, because the senior "individualists" such as cats do not like to be doted.
It to raise cats, you must first understand the basic characteristics of the cat. If you read the common sense provided in this "raising cat" and follow the suggestions, you and your cat will definitely enjoy long -term and pleasant friendship.

This of cats

made the right choice
Once you have the desire to raise a cat, you have to make a decision on many issues, the most important of which are, the most important thing is that You have to decide to raise a purebred cat or a non -purebred cat.
Why choose to raise a pure seed cat?
If you are interested in participating in cat exhibitions or breeding, you should buy a purebred cat. What kind of cats choose depends on personal hobbies. However, please keep in mind that long -haired cats need to sort out each day (*170), while Siamese cats and Berman cats demand the love of people, noise, and may be mature and faster than other cats. Choosing a purebred cat not only requires a healthy inspection for cats, but only through the eyes of experts can you identify the characteristics, quality, quality and the possibility of its future award -winning. Therefore, you should go to buy with a person who is very familiar with the variety of cats and fully understand what your hope you want to get a cat. Unfortunately, the price of purebred cats is very expensive. If you can't afford all the costs, there are two ways to reach a transaction: First, buy a cat with "pet quality", its characteristics may not meet the standards of participating in the cat exhibition, but in any case, this cat can become a cat can become a cat can become a cat can become a cat. Good pets. If you sign a breeding agreement, you can buy a cat with "exhibition quality"; at the scheduled time to return the cat to the seller for breeding. You should be agreed with the seller, who owns the kitten and write the agreement as a text.
Why choose non -purebred cats?
Generally speaking, the main purpose of raising cats is to accompany people. If this is your purpose, it doesn't make much sense to buy purebred cats. In particular, if you live in the city, stealing cat thieves often aims at stealing Persian cats and Siamese cats, let alone to raise pure cats. There are often many cheap hybrid cats that are available for ordinary families to raise cats.
Should I choose a male cat or a female cat?
In what I see, you can choose a male cat or a female cat who removes the ovary. Because both of these cats can also be an excellent pet. I suggest not to raise a male cat, because it will pee everywhere and make a pungent smell; it often goes out to wander, often fights, and will be injured or infected. For the same reason, the female cats who have not removed the ovary should not be raised. This kind of female cat often estrus at some time in the year. If you don't keep it at home, it may not be pregnant according to the wishes of the owner. The cats that remove the ovaries do not have these shortcomings, and they may make the cat closer to people.
Should I choose a kitten or an adult cat?
When buying pets, the petite and weak kitten is very cute. But it takes a lot of care, and it must train it to develop a hygiene habit. From a favorable perspective, kittens usually adapt to the new environment quickly. For many people, raising adult cats is a wise choice. If you work abroad all day, or when you feel that the kitten is too noisy, or it is difficult to train, you should develop an adult cat. If you have purchased an adult cat, you will be locked indoors in the first few days, otherwise it may try to return to the original owner's house.
Should I buy a cat or a pair of cats?
If you have a limited income or a small residence, it is impossible to buy a few cats. However, if every member of the family goes out during the day and only one cat is at home, it may be lonely, then you can buy two cats so that they can accompany each other.
This to buy healthy cats
The source of cats may have a lot of sources. It is a good way to recommend it by others, but what cat to buy depends on which one you decided to buy and how much you want. Before investigating the source of the cat, don't hurry to buy the cat back.
The cats who cultivate varieties of cats
If you have decided to buy purebred cats, you better buy it with people who specialize in breed cats. Although this is likely to spend expensive. Perhaps the local cat breeder club can also provide your breeder's name and address. Otherwise, you would rather visit the cat exhibition, and you will meet many people who cultivate cats. Although some cats may also be sold at the cat exhibition, it is best to go to the cat's house to see the whole cat. There, you can observe how the kittens are observed and the noise and excitement of leaving the cat exhibition.
buy a cat from a pet store
If you have other ways, I want to advise you not to go to the pet store to buy cats. Because kittens are particularly susceptible to disease and infection, and disease and infection are easy to spread in pet stores. If you are sure to buy a cat there, you must check the cat thoroughly. Cats sold in pet stores are usually reasonable.
This to buy cats from protecting animal organizations
The charity life institution is another convenient source of non -purebred cats. Usually you only need to spend a little money or even get a cat.
In health certificates and vaccination
Is before buying cats, and ask veterinarians to check for an ideal method. If you want to buy expensive purebred cats, it is necessary to ask veterinarians to check. Please check the veterinarian and issue a written health certificate. If you get a kitten or adult cat from the Shengsheng Association, the veterinarian will be checked before transferring the cat to you. However, no matter where you get the cat, it is a priority to arrange veterinary examinations for cats as soon as possible after getting it. If you buy a kitten, you should make sure that the kitten has injected anti -cat enteritis and cat influenza vaccine (*238, 229) at least a week before purchasing. If you buy an adult cat, you must find out whether it has injected vaccines when the kitten is injected, and it will not be regularly injected with auxiliary agent that enhances the efficacy. Injecting vaccine and auxiliary agents must have a written proof of veterinarians. In addition, if you still have other cats, in order to make them not infected with leukemia (*259), the veterinarian should ask the newly bought cat to test the blood to prove that the result is negative.
Pure breed cat registration
Wen pure seed cats with five weeks, these cats should be registered under the name of the cat owner together with their hair color and parents of the cats. If you do not register, you will not be allowed to participate in the cat exhibition of purebred cats in the future.
Thising whether the cat's habits are good
Is when buying cats, you must find cats that are clever, friendly, naughty, and willing to be disciplined. If you buy a kitten, it is best to choose a robust, more courageous, and first -born cat; do not choose the smallest and most timid kitten in a nest, because the smallest cat is often easy to get sick, you may be due to the illness, you may be due to the illness. The cat's premature death is sad.
The cats you want to buy
No matter which kind of cat you want to raise or where you buy a cat, you must follow a golden family jade law: Be sure to study the health of the cat. Do not buy sick cats or cats that have not reached standard. If you propose to check the cat, don't buy it if you are rejected, because any responsible seller will understand it, and it is reasonable to check the new pets that are purchased thoroughly.
This cats used to wash their hands before, tease the cat for a while, and eliminate the cat's tension. In the entire inspection program, we must grab the cat's body steadily and gently to prevent the cat from escaping.
On how to check the kitten
Check the hair
This to touch the texture of the kitten quilt, whether it is smooth, is there any entanglement, and find a flea or other pests.
The ears
The kitten's ears should be cleaned and dry, and confirm that there is no earwax in the ear (*250).
Checking the eyes and nose

This abdomen
This touch below the cat's belly with one hand. The abdomen should be slightly round and not stiff. It is found that there is no lump (hernia), and then let the cats walk freely in order to see if it is lame.
*How to distinguish the sex of the kitten?
Although the gender of adult cats is easy to identify, it is not easy to distinguish the male and female of the kitten. During the inspection, the cat's tail was lifted and the holes below the anus. If the vagina and the anus are close, the two openings seem to be close to each other, and they can be determined as a little female cat. There is a dark and raised place under the anus of the kitten cat, which will develop into the penis under the testicles and the penis under the testicles in the future.

1. Be sure to get the vaccine.
2. Dogs must not eat spicy and salty foods and onions, garlic, and onions.
3. The pregnant bitch cannot eat chicken bones and will have a miscarriage.
4. Pay attention to hygiene. Dogs on the building should cut your nails frequently (you can only cut the tip in front, the dog's nails have blood vessels, and the bleeding will be bleeding)

Raising animals as your own children is gone at all. The key is that you can't do it. Two days of fishing for three days, you can't raise anything.
