Is it true that a domestic cat needs to be walked: mistakes and misconceptions
Cats who live their lives within four walls cannot be protected from diseases and other health problems.
A pet can get sick by catching an infection from the sole of its owner’s shoes or by becoming obese due to its love of food and sedentary lifestyle.
Purinaone experts have explained whether it is necessary to walk domestic cats and cats and how to do it correctly.
Firstly, there are no strict recommendations on this matter. Therefore, dragging an animal that is against it with all its limbs into the street makes no sense.
Secondly, it is important to remember that animals can run away in joy or experience serious stress, being frightened by an unfamiliar environment.
Thirdly, let's not forget about infections and other pathogens that pose a threat to an unvaccinated animal.
But if the cat reacts normally to what they want to do to him, and returns home without “scandals”, then walks will only be beneficial.
Don't forget about vaccinations and other safety measures.
It's better not to walk
1. Cats in pregnancy or during hormonal surge.
2. Kittens up to 6 months old, as well as unvaccinated animals.
3. Old cats, those who are sick, have undergone treatment or surgery.
4. It is also better to avoid walks if the animal reacts unpredictably to any change in environment and is wary of everything new.
