Many people believe that there are no special features or "tricks" when it comes to keeping cats.

But this is a mistake.

The fact is that cats need a special approach to stay healthy and feel comfortable, experts explain.

What mistakes should be avoided?

Trimming claws

Many people believe that this is a great option for a care procedure that will help protect wallpaper, things and furniture from the attention of our pet.

However, you shouldn't do this.

The cat is deprived of its own "weapon" that can feed it as a hunter. In this case, the pet may begin to experience real depression.

Buying the cheapest food

Even if you buy expensive food, you will spend less money on keeping your pet in the long run. Elite brand food helps maintain your pet's health.

As a result, your cat will be less sick and you won’t have to spend money on the vet.

If you buy cheap food for your animal, you can shorten its lifespan.

Lack of vitamins

Even if you were able to find quality food for your pet, this does not mean that you can now refuse to buy vitamins.

The animal still needs special nutrients that are rarely added to industrial feeds.

Self-medication

This type of activity is always dangerous unless you are a real certified veterinarian. The education of an ordinary person is not enough to make a correct diagnosis and prescribe a treatment plan.

We also do not have the ability to promptly submit tests. Therefore, if necessary, do not waste time: contact the experts.

Ignoring

Don't believe people who say that cats don't need your attention. This is a misunderstanding of animals. Cats are very social, so they want to interact with you on a regular basis.

So don't forget to spend time together.
