If we want to start raising a cat, what should we prepare? So that our wallets don't get hurt too much, buying something and not using it. In this article, Talingchan Animal Hospital will point out what is necessary if we have to raise a cat. Let's get started.
1. Toilet bowl Or cat litter box
It is important to keep your cat from making a mess by changing the litter and scooping out the feces regularly. The key is to have the correct number of litter boxes per cat, which is the number of cats plus one. Since cats are very private, some cats will not even notice the smell of another cat and will refuse to poop at all, so you should have another litter box.
2. Food and water bowls
Choose the right size, clean, and free of residue. If you have more than one cat, you can separate the food bowls to reduce fighting or intimidation behavior.
3. Cat food
You should choose food that your cat likes and is beneficial to his body because cat food comes in many forms, including dry food which is easy to store and easy to carry, vacuum-packed food which can be given as 1 meal per 1 pack, or fresh food can also be given, but it often does not have complete nutritional value. You also have to be careful of spoiled food which can cause diarrhea in your cat.
4. Cat cage or cat basket
It is very important because we may have reasons to move our cat to different places, such as to get vaccinated or to travel to other provinces. The basket style depends on your preference, but the size must be appropriate for the cat in case the cat grows up.
5. Toys and scratchers
Toys will help your cat feel relaxed and get exercise. If you have a “scratch post” (sometimes called a cat scratching post, a cat accessory that can be purchased at pet shops), it will also make your furniture in your home safe.
6. Collar and name tag
Don't think it's unnecessary because this can tell that our cat has an owner. If the cat goes missing, putting the name and contact number on the name tag will help the person who finds the cat to contact us. The cat will be back in our arms as usual. And if possible, the collar should be a safety collar to prevent the cat from getting hurt.
7. Prepare love
This is the most important point. Cats also need love and attention from us. Because cats are the type that loves but doesn't show it. Even if they like to ignore us, it doesn't mean that they don't love us. So if you have time, don't forget to play with them so that they don't feel lonely. And show them lots of love, all cat owners.
