The first step is to select a variety. The difference between long-haired and short-haired cats lies in daily grooming and care. You should consider whether you have enough energy and time, and you can pay the same amount. When choosing a purebred cat, you should pay attention to the characteristics of various cat breeds. You may be able to compete and breed in the future, but it is recommended that novices should strengthen the training of breeding knowledge and skills; if it is purely a companion, choosing a domestic cat is similar, and the price is even cheaper. There may also be free adoptions available online.

The second consideration is age. Adult cats are already shaped, and you can see their size, coat color, and health at a glance. It is convenient for you to decide whether they are suitable for you, but you need to know if there are some bad habits that you can't bear. The most important thing in choosing a kitten is to make sure that it has been weaned and can eat dry food, usually about eight weeks; the initial feeding of kittens requires the owner to pay more attention, accompany them to cultivate feelings and train them to develop good living habits, and kittens are highly adaptable , With a good upbringing, you will grow up to be a good Mimi that everyone loves.

Finally, the physical examination. In addition to self-bred kittens introduced by friends or acquaintances, if you go to a pet store, it is best to compare them among a group of kittens. Bright eyes and no secretions are a sign of health; small white teeth and pink gums are the most important thing without bad breath; the nose should be soft and damp, without snot, and the breathing should be smooth and smooth; the anus of the kitten should be clean , gently pull up the tail to check the surrounding hair for diarrhea or secretions; the ears should be dry and clean; the coat color should also be smooth, bright and soft, and by the way, check for parasites such as fleas ; Use the cat stick to tease and observe the most flexible and active kitten. About a week after buying it and raising it at home, it is best to go to the veterinary hospital for a health check and vaccination.
