More and more people are choosing cats as pets. Compared with dogs, cats have an obvious advantage, that is, they are relaxed.
Raising a cat is not like raising a dog. You have to take them out for walks every day, and you have to deal with their urination and defecation problems.
Cats have a strong ability to live independently, as long as the owner prepares the cat With food and cat litter, you can go out to work or play without any burden. It's different for dogs. If they come home late, their owners have to worry about whether they will starve, whether they will tear down the house, and whether they will bark and disturb the neighbors.
Although raising a cat is easy, you cannot be negligent, otherwise the following tragedies may occur.
The owner, Xiao Li, has a silver cat. It is an adult and is very lazy on weekdays. It eats and sleeps after eating. One day, Xiao Li received a temporary notice from the company and needed to go to another city for a three-day meeting.
Xiao Li calculated that he had not been away from home for too long, and he had read many popular science articles before, saying that cats can live alone at home for up to a week.
Xiao Li thought that it would be convenient to stay in a pet store and go back and forth. , and had to spend an extra amount of money, I prepared a larger plastic basin, filled it with cat food, and put a bucket of clean water aside.
I thought everything was ready, until after the business trip, when I opened the door, Xiao Li was dumbfounded. The whole house was in a mess, cat food was scattered everywhere, and the bucket beside him was also knocked over. land. My own cat has been lying in the litter box, motionless, and has no reaction to the owner entering the house.
Xiao Li thought it was cold and the cat was sleeping in the litter box. He walked over and wanted to pick it up. After touching his body, he realized The cat was dead and its body was stiff.
All the food and drinks were prepared, and the cat's bed was also very warm. Xiao Li was puzzled as to how the cat could die. It happened to be in the building of the community. There is a pet hospital next door, and Xiao Li is determined to find out the cause of the cat's death.
After sending the cat’s body to the pet hospital, the veterinarian conducted various examinations. Through X-rays, it was found that the cat’s intestines were severely obstructed. It was for this reason that the cat died.
The veterinarian believed that Xiao Li's handling method was very incorrect. It is better to let cats starve than to let them eat freely. Unlike humans, cats have self-control. Faced with so much cat food, they will eat indiscriminately. If they eat too much, they cannot digest it, and they will become blocked.
Furthermore, Xiao Li’s cats usually have constipation problems, which directly aggravates the probability of obstruction.
With the development of the pet market, pet boarding services are very popular. If the owner goes out for more than two days, It is best to spend money to keep your pet in a pet store. Although some foster care services are tantamount to putting pets in "jail", some people see that regular feeding can avoid many dangers. Of course, when choosing a foster care place, the owner must also Keep your eyes open, and it is best to choose a relatively clean, spacious place with a low flow of people. At the same time, you should sign a contract with the merchant before fostering, so as to avoid accidents and better protect your rights.
