Once a cat appears in the house, your usual life changes a little. Not only because you have to clean the litter box and protect your furniture from cat claws.
The owner himself must change some of his habits and begin to follow some tips and recommendations.
Here is a list of things cat owners should not do.
Punish your pet
It is believed that a strict tone is sufficient to keep the animal within the bounds of decency.
Physical measures of influence make no sense, especially if the mischievous cat is punished several hours after the misdeed.
Feed with table scraps
Many street cats actually live only on this. But a domestic cat's diet should not include raw food, sausages, or other human food.
In order for the animal to live long and not get sick, you need to pay attention to balanced and high-quality cat food. And at the same time, do not overfeed the pet.
You can't leave him alone for long
Cats tolerate the absence of their owner quite comfortably for a day, and sometimes even two. Otherwise, the animal needs the presence of a person, and not only to pour food, pour water and wash the tray.
It has been proven that domestic cats do not tolerate prolonged loneliness well.
Leave the windows open for ventilation
Curiosity may force the cat to stick its head between the sashes, and then the frame may act as a noose. The animal will not be able to get out of such a trap on its own.
At the very least, he may get sprains and other injuries.
Haircut and wash
There is a popular misconception that a shedding pet can be trimmed, a domestic cat's claws can be removed, and it can be washed with human shampoo.
All these are mistakes that affect the animal’s well-being.
