The health and longevity of pets depends solely on the competent actions of the owner.

If you follow the five prohibitions, you will have to visit the vet less often, and your pet will be in a better mood.

We'll tell you what cat owners shouldn't do.

First, overfeed

Any leftover food after the cat moves away from the bowl should be poured back into the bag.

This way the smell won’t disappear, but the main thing is that the cat will be left without free access to food, and this will help avoid obesity and other dangerous diseases.

Secondly, prohibit playing

Cats that live within four walls have a boring and monotonous life, and their accumulated energy needs to be expended somewhere.

Don't skimp on toys and spend time with your pet, otherwise your pet may become apathetic out of boredom.

Third, sharpen your claws

This is not revenge, but necessity. This is how cats get rid of old claw growths, stretch their spines, and leave marks on their territory.

Therefore, you need to take care of purchasing a scratching post in advance.

Fourth, disturb the cat's sleep

It only seems that cats sleep for days. In fact, their instinct forces them to remain constantly on guard, so most of the time they do not sleep, but doze.

As you age, it takes longer to recuperate.

Fifth, remove the claws

It is important to distinguish between claw trimming and complete claw removal. After such an operation, the animal may have problems with the spine and musculoskeletal system.

For reference

Cats are a family of mammals of the order Carnivora. The most specialized of predators, adapted to obtaining animal food by sneaking up, lying in wait, and, less often, pursuing.
