The arrival of a cat will undoubtedly bring new vitality to your family. Just like the family needs to be imported, the cat will be a part of your family. Therefore, before buying a cat, you must prepare the items your cat needs for life. It is currently available in many supermarket stores (or pet markets) or on Taobao. You can also do it yourself and solve it simply because of the humble.

(1) Cat litter

A cat litter is a place where cats sleep. Baskets, waste basins and cardboard boxes can be used instead. But there must be enough area, so that the cat can straighten its legs. The bottom of the litter is covered with straw or paper scraps, newspapers, and then covered with waste towels or old sheets, blankets, chair cushions, etc., to make the cat litter warm and comfortable. Because the cat is very alert and does not want to stay in the nest surrounded by high walls

, the side wall of the cat nest should have one side lower, which is convenient for the cat to enter and exit, and also allows the cat to lie in the nest. You can see what's going on outside. The cat litter should be placed in a dry, secluded and unobtrusive place in the room. It is best to be exposed to sunlight and not to be placed in a cool and humid place. The cat litter should be raised above the ground to keep it dry, clean, and well ventilated to maintain a cool environment. The bedding in the cat litter should be changed and cleaned frequently to keep it clean and free of odor. With the change of seasons, appropriately increase or decrease the bedding.

(2) Utensils and drinking bowls p

Some cat owners often put food directly on the table or on the ground to feed the cat, which is a very unscientific feeding method. Cats love to clean, which is more prominent among animals, and their utensils must be kept clean.

Feeding anywhere will often affect the cat's appetite, and it is also susceptible to pathogenic microorganisms or parasites and cause illness. Therefore, there must be special utensils and water basins for feeding cats. Food utensils and drinking bowls should be of firm texture, with heavy bottoms and thick edges, such as porcelain bowls and iron bowls. It is best not to use a plate, because when the cat is standing on the edge of the plate to eat or drink, it is easy to step on the plate, soil the floor and contaminate the feed. Some cats have a bad habit of getting food out of the basin when they eat. Therefore, it is best to put newspapers or plastic sheets under and around the food and water basins to keep the ground clean.

(three) bedpan

The bedpan should be made of materials that are easy to wash, not easy to absorb odor, and not easy to break, such as thin iron plates, plastics, and enamel utensils. Wooden boxes and cardboard boxes are not suitable for bedpans, because feces and urine are easily absorbed by cardboard boxes and wooden boxes, resulting in long-term retention of feces and urine smells in the bedpans, which is harmful to hygiene, and may also cause cat disgust and develop the problem of defecation and urine not entering the basin. Habit.

In order to facilitate cleaning and maintain hygiene, the bottom of the bedpan should be covered with sawdust or silt, furnace ash, etc. with a thickness of about 5 cm. However, the particles of these bedding materials should not be too fine. The cat food utensils and water basins will stick to the coat because the particles are too fine, causing the cat body, cat food utensils, and cat water basins to be unclean. Adding a small amount of baking soda to the litter can eliminate the stinky smell of cat urine.

The bedpan should be cleaned frequently, no more than a week apart. When cleaning the bedpan, do not use detergents or disinfectants that have strong odors, as cats are sensitive to these odors. Rinse with laundry detergent or just plain water.

(four) cat toys

A cat is like a naughty child and likes toys very much. It is a lot of fun to watch a cat playing.

Cats like round things that can roll, such as balls, balls of string, and balloons. Cats like to move, but don't like to be quiet, so you can hang some fluttering ribbons, paper strips, cloth strips, etc. indoors. If you prepare a few small moving toys, such as a small mouse that can only call and move or a plastic frog that can jump and jump, it will arouse the cat's great interest.

Cat toys and ways of playing should also be constantly innovated. If a toy is played for a long time, the cat will get tired of it. But you don't have to spend too much money on this, you should do it yourself. Cat toys don't have to be complete and beautiful, as long as the cat finds it interesting. Sometimes the owner can play with the cat for a long time with a rope in hand.

(5) cat bag

Some cat owners feel very inconvenient to take their cats out for medical treatment, vaccinations, and health checks. . Because cats are very uncomfortable in handbags, they are also prone to suffocation or crushing. Therefore, no matter if you have a group cat or a family cat, you should prepare one.
