Have a cat or a dog?
If you are planning to get a pet now and are hesitating whether to choose a cat or a dog, Senior Sister can give you some advice.
1. Category preference.
First of all, you need to be clear about whether you are a dog lover or a cat lover. According to the observation of the senior sister, there are generally four types. First, there is a clear direction of hobbies. For example, there is a clear dividing line between people who love dogs and people who love cats, with dog lovers not interested in cats and cat lovers not interested in dogs. The second type has no clear direction of hobbies and is in a vague area. Both cats and dogs, cats and dogs can be raised, and it is an undetermined choice. The third type is to try the direction type, which is neither particularly fond of cats nor dogs, and needs to be raised to know. Fourth, the direction of preference has changed. I used to like dogs and now I like cats, or I used to like cats and now I like dogs. The first thing to do is to see what kind of pet lover you belong to. If you fall into the latter three, then you can read on.
2. Economic factors.
Calculate your short-term and long-term budgets before getting a pet. A short-term budget is the cost of buying pets and belongings. A long-term budget refers to the expenses required in the long-term feeding process.
Short-term expenses: pet purchases, vaccinations and health check-ups, early pet food costs, pet living expenses, etc. In the case of dogs, a leash fee will be added.
Long-term expenses: nutrition costs, toys costs, pet food costs, toiletries costs, medical care costs, beauty and utensils costs, etc.
Don't be afraid, it sounds like a lot, but the upper and lower limits of these expenses are very large, if the budget is limited, then about a few hundred yuan or a few thousand dollars smaller will do, if the expenses are sufficient, uh big guy at will.
In the next issue, I will give you a detailed introduction to the cost of keeping pets.
3. Time factor.
The time factor is a must consider when owning a pet. If you are busy at work, come home irregularly every day, or often go out on business trips, etc., it is not recommended to have a dog in this situation, but you can have a cat. Most dogs eat without moderation, have no time regularity, and need to walk the dog on time every day. Therefore, regular and quantitative feeding, dog walking, and defecation are more important. Most cats need to be taken care of by people in the diet, living intensity is low, self-management ability is relatively strong, but the cat may be when you rest, it rests when you make trouble, the owner's time and energy is another demand. Choose the right pet according to your characteristics.
Today, my sister will popularize this knowledge to everyone, no matter what kind of pet person you are, you must remember a basic truth, "Raising pets, there is no necessarily correct general theory." "Every cat and dog is an independent life, they are the same as humans, each pet has its own physical conditions, personality traits, behavioral habits, genetic characteristics, pet has universal skills, but it does not mean that pets can be treated like an assembly line, for each pet, we must have patience and love, to communicate with it, to be good friends. Don't raise pets because you envy others, and don't abandon pets because of the loss of enthusiasm. You must love life.
Pay attention to the senior sister, the guide of the pet world.
