Having an animal in the house requires a lot of responsibility.
It needs constant attention, and there are also some things you should not do to your cat if you do not want to harm its health and well-being.
Don't overfeed
Veterinarians recommend feeding cats several times in small portions. If you leave a lot of food in the cat's bowl, there is a high probability that the cat will eat it all - this threatens him with obesity and health problems.
Don't let us get bored
This rule is especially important for those cats that live in apartments and do not go for walks in the fresh air. To prevent your pet from getting bored, play with it daily, for example, using a teaser on a stick.
Don't forbid scratching
Cats use their claws not only to relieve boredom, but also to maintain the health of their claws. Therefore, try to wean your pet from scratching furniture and buy a special scratching post for him.
Don't disturb the cat for no reason.
Adult cats spend most of the day sleeping. Do not disturb them while they rest – otherwise, the purr may become embittered and nervous.
Do not remove claws
This procedure causes the muscles of the back and legs to relax greatly. Because of this, over time, the animal may begin to lose its sense of balance, its immunity will weaken, and it will suffer from various diseases.
For reference
A cat is a domestic animal, one of the most popular (along with a dog) “companion animals”.
