Every cat owner wants their pet to live as long as possible, be healthy and happy.
Unfortunately, dreams do not always come true.
And often due to the fault of the pet owner himself.
The cat needs care, as well as protection from various negative factors.
And everything is much simpler than it might seem at first glance.
Do you want your four-legged friend to live a long life? Follow the rules below.
Proper nutrition
Let's start with the most obvious recommendation. It is clear that a cat will not be healthy if its owner starts saving on food.
Feed your fluffy cat only quality products. Giving her the cheapest food is definitely not the best idea.
Do not give your cat food that is dangerous for him (sweets, mushrooms, onions, garlic, tomatoes, potatoes, grapes, etc.).
Visiting veterinary clinics
You need to show your pet to the veterinarian not only when the animal has health problems.
Preventive examinations are also necessary (1-2 times a year) to detect ailments in time that have not yet manifested themselves.
Regular games with your pet
Only at first glance do cats seem to be arrogant and selfish animals that do not need company.
In fact, purrs need "communication" with a person. Be sure to play with your pet. Do not forget about your four-legged friend even on busy days.
Protection from stress
One of the secrets to the longevity of some cats is the almost complete absence of stressful situations in their lives.
Try to protect your four-legged friend from danger and stress.
This also applies to problems that people do not consider serious. For example, loud noises, moving, and home renovations.
It is clear that in some cases these actions and phenomena cannot be avoided. But remember that any shouting, rearrangement and movement is stress for the animal.
Ban on free-roaming
It is a common belief that cats that are allowed to roam freely are happier than those that are "homebodies."
Perhaps in some cases this is true. However, it is important to remember that a furry creature that freely goes outside is vulnerable to many illnesses and other problems.
