How to prolong the life of a cat

Firstly, it is very important that the cat not only eats well, but also drinks enough water (40 ml per 1 kg of weight per day).

Secondly, contrary to popular belief, frequent bathing is harmful to the health of the cat.

It is advisable to bathe a cat no more than once every six months. You need to make sure that water does not get on the muzzle and in the ears.
