What you need to pay attention to when raising a cat:

1. Place dangerous or fragile items in the home out of the reach of cats, and always keep the doors of washing machines, refrigerators, microwave ovens, and ovens closed. Install guardrails and screens on the windows, and close the screens immediately when opening them.

2. Do not plant plants that are toxic to cats in areas where cats move, such as azaleas, colchicum, lilies, dieffenbachia, ivy, hydrangea, etc.

3. Regularly ventilate and disinfect your home, which is not only good for cats, but also for owners, as it can prevent the spread of infection by bacteria, viruses and parasites.

4. The digestive system of cats is slightly different from that of humans. Many human foods cannot be given to cats, such as milk, various seasonings, etc. Try to use cat food as the staple food.
