Maintain a light diet; 2. Do not frequently change cat food. When changing cat food, follow the seven-day transition rule.

Health: Because cats have a lot of fur, they are prone to carrying various types of bacteria and fleas. For the sake of the cat and the owner's health, the cat should be bathed regularly and its fur should be groomed;

Diet: Different cats have different preferences for food. Owners should not randomly select cat food from the market for convenience. They should carefully select cat food based on the cat's breed, growth situation, and physical condition. They should also prepare special utensils for the cat;

Health: Just like humans, cats can get sick. When a cat is sick, it should be taken to a specialized animal hospital for treatment. Regular physical examinations and vaccinations for cats should also be carried out. Only when the cat is healthy can it have the energy to play with its owner;

Safety: There is a saying that "curiosity killed the cat." Cats are restless creatures and always have a great curiosity 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 falling into potential danger;

Living space: Cats love to lie down and nap. Therefore, as an owner, you should prepare a small cushion for it to sleep on. These cushions may accumulate a lot of bacteria after the cat has been using them for a long time, so you must pay attention to cleaning and disinfection at all times;

Cat litter: The problem of pets defecating anywhere has troubled many pet owners. However, cats are actually very clean animals, so as long as the owner provides the cat with cat litter, the cat will go to the litter box on its own;

Cats are sensitive creatures. When the owner forces them to do something, they can become irritated. Therefore, owners should trim the cat's nails regularly to prevent scratches and infections while playing with it.

Grooming time: recommended every three days

1. Relax the cat: before grooming, you can give the cat a massage. After the kitten purrs, continue with the following steps;

2. Comb along the fur: from the back → waist → hips → tail; when combing, you can wet the cat's fur with a small amount of water to reduce static electricity, comb along the direction of hair growth, and comb from top to bottom;

3. Comb from the chest to the abdomen: pick up the cat, sit with a human posture on the leg, and comb from top to bottom. The cat's belly is more sensitive, so the litter box attendant must be quick and accurate when grooming.

4. Comb the cat's head and the area around the face: you can comb from the cat's head or face towards the neck, be careful of the cat's eyes when combing.

5. Underarm and abdominal hair: at this time, the cat can lie on its side, lift up the cat's front legs, and comb from the underarm to the side of the abdomen.
