What Owner Mistakes Shorten a Cat's Life: You May Be Making Them Too

Although some actions may seem completely harmless to the person himself, they can seriously harm animals.

If you don't want your pet's life to be shortened due to your own fault, it's worth getting to know the actions that can lead to such an outcome.

In first place, of course, is such a bad habit as smoking.

Because of passive smoking, those around you, including cats, suffer more than the smoker himself.

In addition, do not naively assume that a cat really has 9 lives, neglecting a visit to the vet. Even if your pet does not leave the apartment, this does not mean that it is 100% protected from various diseases.

Another big mistake that many cat owners unfortunately make is that their animals are often left alone for long periods of time.

Therefore, before you get a pet, think carefully about whether you have enough time to devote to your furry friend.

Finally, I would like to mention the importance of water – do not forget to change not only the water, but also the bowls themselves – approximately once every six months.
