Ashera Cat

The Ashera cat is a new breed bred by genetic researchers using wild African servals, Asian leopard cats, and common domestic cats. Ashera has a pair of prominent large ears and a striking coat. When standing on its hind legs, it can reach a height of 4 feet (about 1.2 meters), with a lifespan of 25 years and a weight of up to 30 pounds (about 13.6 kilograms).

The Ashera cat is known as the "largest, most precious, and most unique" domestic cat in the world. It is a "super cat" recently bred by a pet company in the United States. Even the bravest mice would be frightened by it, and even its natural enemies, dogs, would have to consider their own strength.

1. Soft Stool

Cats having soft stool is also a common situation. Normal stool is brownish, formed, and has a moderate moisture content.

Causes: Catching a cold, changing food, poor food quality, stress reaction, parasites, etc.

Symptoms: Soft, sticky, shapeless, watery.

Solution: If it is caused by parasites, it is recommended to deworm the cat. If it is a stress reaction due to a change in the environment, it is not a big problem and it is recommended to observe for a few more days. In terms of diet, do not frequently change cat food to reduce gastrointestinal burden. Also, pay attention to controlling the amount of food, feeding less but more often, and feeding on a regular schedule. In terms of drinking water, make sure it is clean and fresh. Do not give cats mineral water, as it can easily cause urinary stones.

2. Depression

Cats are sensitive animals and depression is a common condition.

Causes: Lack of companionship, loss of a companion, abuse, being kept confined for a long time, etc.

Symptoms: Loss of appetite, lying around all day, hiding, being easily irritated, timidity.

Solution: Cat depression is a mental problem. It is recommended for the cat owner to spend more time with the cat. In daily life, you can interact with the cat more using treats or a cat teaser toy to reduce the cat's stress as much as possible.

Hygiene: Due to the abundance of fur on cats, they are prone to carrying various bacteria and parasites. For the health of both the cat and the caregiver, it is necessary to regularly bathe and groom the cat's fur;

Diet: Different cats have different food preferences. Caregivers should not randomly choose cat food from the market for convenience. They should carefully select cat food based on the cat's breed, growth, and physical condition. Additionally, dedicated utensils should be prepared for the cat;

Health: Like humans, cats can also get sick. When a cat is sick, it must be taken to a specialized veterinary hospital for treatment. Regular physical examinations and vaccinations are also necessary. Only when a cat is healthy can it have the energy to play with its owner;

Safety: There is a saying "Curiosity killed the cat." Cats are curious creatures and are always very curious about various things. Their nature also makes them particularly fond of entering enclosed spaces. Therefore, owners must close doors, windows, and lids to prevent cats from getting into potential dangers;

Living environment: Cats love to nap, so as an owner, it is important to prepare a small cushion for them to sleep on. However, after long-term use, these cushions can accumulate a lot of bacteria. Therefore, regular cleaning and disinfection are necessary;

Cat litter: The problem of pets defecating anywhere is a common issue for many pet owners. However, cats are actually very clean animals. As long as the owner provides them with cat litter, they will go to the litter box to defecate on their own;

Cats cannot tolerate being forced to do anything. When the owner forces them to do something, they become irritated. Therefore, owners should trim the cat's nails regularly to prevent being scratched and infected while playing with them.

Grooming Time: Recommended every three days

1. Relax the cat: Before grooming, you can give the cat a massage. Wait until the kitten purrs before proceeding with the following steps;

2. Brush along the fur: From the back → waist → hips → tail; When grooming, you can slightly dampen the cat's fur with a small amount of water to reduce static electricity. Brush along the direction of hair growth, from top to bottom;

3. Brush from the chest to the abdomen: Hold the cat and sit on your lap in a human posture, brush from top to bottom. The cat's belly is more sensitive, so when grooming, it must be quick and accurate;
