Today we are going to talk about how to take care of a domestic pet in heat - cats. As your caring pet companion, it is our responsibility to remind you at this critical time that you should pay attention to the following:
Keeping them safe is paramount. During this special period, cats often become emotionally sensitive due to hormonal changes and try to escape in search of companions. In order to avoid unforeseen events, it is important to ensure that doors and windows are tightly closed, and that window screens and protective fences are placed in suitable places. In addition, it is also a good choice to set up a special room for the cat to rest.
Take care to control their emotions. At this time, the cat seems to be in a sea of excitement, and for the health of the pet, we should try not to add too much stimulation to it. Do not play excessively, especially avoid contact with other animals with similar hormones to avoid irritating the cat. Try to provide a peaceful and reassuring environment so that it naturally restores calm.
If you have any doubts or abnormalities, be sure to consult a professional animal doctor. During the estrus season, some cats may exhibit abnormal behavior, such as excessive calling, changes in eating habits, abnormal behavior, etc. This phenomenon is not uncommon, but it should not be taken lightly. Only with the confirmation of professionals can we truly understand the cause and give targeted advice and solutions.
It is also important to provide it with proper recreational facilities. In order to help cats release their accumulated physical strength and energy, we can provide some toys specifically for the estrus period. For example, cat scratching board, mouse teaser, etc., so that cats can get a good exercise while venting their vigorous vitality. In addition to this, a safe matte stone not only protects the furniture, but also satisfies their instinct to rub around.
Increase the amount of exercise: Cats in heat tend to be more excited and energetic, and they may want to play more games and exercise. Therefore, we should provide these cats with appropriate toys and a wide range of playgrounds to help them burn off their excess energy.
Close care: During this time period, cats tend to show extreme affection for humans and crave more caresses and companionship. As their owners, we should turn this love into practical actions, spend more time with our cats, and give them a sense of security and comfort.
Professional consultation: If the cat's cry is too strong or sad, then we should consult the veterinarian in time to see if it is necessary to sterilize the behavior of this estrus behavior.
Regular deworming: During the heat period, it is very necessary to do a full set of health care for the cat at the right time. Cats during this period, due to their frequent movement in search of mates, are likely to be infested by insects. In order to prevent problems before they occur, we should regularly deworm cats, which can not only protect the health of pets, but also reduce the risk of parasite infection. Generally speaking, it is recommended to carry out a comprehensive deworming every three months, and the detailed deworming plan needs to make the best judgment based on the actual living environment, behavioral habits of the cat and the professional advice of the veterinarian.
Maintain hygiene: During heat, cats may pass a certain amount of secretions, and it is essential to keep the environment tidy and cleaned up regularly. These substances may emit an unpleasant odor and create conditions for the growth and reproduction of various germs. Therefore, whenever you find that your cat has finished defecating, gently wipe their tail and the surrounding area with wet wipes or warm water to keep it clean. On the other hand, it is also essential to change the litter tray frequently and ensure that the litter is clean and free of stains. If you notice that the discharge is abnormal or accompanied by other symptoms, please consult a doctor promptly.
We would like to remind you that for those who can no longer bear more cats and do not know how to arrange a new cat, we would like to make the following respectful suggestions to avoid the overbreeding of cats, which may cause potential distress and inconvenience to your life. If you are faced with such problems, we still encourage you to actively look for suitable ways to treat and care for these lovely creatures, always remembering that each of us has the responsibility and obligation to set a positive example of respect for life in society, and only such an attitude can truly reflect the harmonious coexistence between people and between animals. Thank you for reading, and may you have a happy and fulfilling time with all cats!
