    There is basically no problem Cats have not been dewormed, so it is possible to infect you with parasites, but you can eat intestinal worms (as long as you are not pregnant :p) The problem of rabies, because healthy cats and cats carry this rabies germ, as long as it does not get sick, it will not transmit rabies, so you will not have a problem, just clean up the wound in time. As for other diseases such as cat-scratch disease that may be infected, as long as there is no fever and lymphoma, there is no need to worry, even if there is a fever, you can just go to the anti-inflammatory injection

    Don't panic when you encounter this kind of thing :)

    The female cat bites the kitten, this is because the kitten is still relatively young, the female cat tells the kitten what can not be done by biting the kitten, otherwise it will be punished, this is a way for the kitten to educate the kitten in the process of growing up, and the owner does not have to intervene too much. It is also possible that the kitten has violated the bottom line of the female cat, so the female cat bites the kitten as a warning.

    Lack of motherhood: Many cats do not care about children as much as people think, some cats may not fully accept the things of being a mother, and kittens are particularly clingy, and will follow the mother cat or even harass the mother cat all the time, which will make the cat annoying.

    Kitten feeding precautions.

    Kittens of 2 to 5 months old are in the growth phase. For kittens that are growing rapidly, more calories are necessary. A cat weighing one kilogram in the first 3-4 months of life needs 130-250 calories per day, after six months it is 100 calories, and after six months it is 80 calories for an adult cat.

    In terms of nutrients, cats are basically carnivores, so they need more animal protein.

    In addition, if calcium intake is insufficient, it will lead to incomplete growth of bones, teeth, and claws, and when taurine is insufficient, it will cause blindness or heart tendons, and when vitamin A is insufficient, it will also cause visual impairment or deterioration of the state. The calcium requirement of kittens is 40% higher during the developmental stage than that of adult cats.

    1. Human odor interference.

    After the female cat gives birth, some people will keep picking up the kitten because of curiosity or worry, etc., there are many people, the kitten is contaminated with the smell of people, the female cat may think that the kitten is threatened by the smell, will transfer them, and when it feels extremely frightened, it will take an extreme way, bite to death and eat the kitten to protect itself.

    Second, kittens are not competitive.

    When female cats find that their kittens are deformed, they are likely to eat the kittens, which is the result of natural selection, survival of the fittest, and deformed kittens are difficult to survive in nature, so they are eaten by their own mothers. Another situation is that kittens die at birth or shortly after birth, and generally the female cat will transfer them, but there are also female cats who eat them directly. This is less common due to the fact that domestic cats are subject to more human intervention.

    Third, the female cat is not motherly enough.

    In other words, female cats do not have motherhood, which leads to their inability to take care of their kittens as their own children from the unconscious to the external behavior. There are many reasons why female cats do not have motherhood, and if it is a genetic problem, then the best solution is to be neutered, otherwise there is a high chance that the tragedy will be repeated.

    Fourth, the food is not sufficient.

    It mainly happens to feral cats, such as at this time, it is difficult for the female cat to find enough food on her own, so she can only kill the kittens to save energy.

    5. Pica.

    Cats can develop pica if they lack certain proteins or minerals in their daily lives, are in a state of constant stress, and do not drink enough water. Some cats bite and eat their own pups during the first birth, and then may develop a quirk of eating all the time.

    6. Miscellaneous. There is a saying that the female cat spoils her cubs too much or is nervous for the first time, and the strength is not well controlled in the care process and causes the death of the kitten, in order to ensure that the smell of the dead kitten is not discovered by the predator, the female cat can only bite to death and eat the kitten.

    Reason 1: Protect kittens.

    After the kitten is born, the cat owner will pick up the kitten out of curiosity about the newborn kitten**. If the cat's nest is disturbed, the mother cat will choose to kill the kittens when she is unable to move or hide her young. It is an instinctive behavior that threatens the current situation that if the cubs cannot be protected, the mother cat will see killing them as a form of protection.

    However, only a very small number of female cats kill their cubs immediately, and they usually hide their kittens and find new litters. Female cats that kill their cubs usually have no experience as mothers.

    Reason 2: The smell interferes with the female cat.

    Many animals identify their own kind or children by their smell. Female cats can kill their kittens because they have been touched by other people or animals, because they have the smell of other animals on their bodies, making it impossible for them to identify their children. Therefore, when discovering newborn kittens, do not come into contact with them easily.

    Be sure to avoid letting people who are not familiar with the cat, visit or frequently play with the newborn baby of the female cat, which can easily make the emotionally unstable female cat extremely nervous, which will eventually lead to the female cat to behave aggressively towards her baby.

    Reason 3: The kitten has a deformity.

    Some kittens are born with deformities that are not noticeable to humans, and it is difficult for them to survive, but the mother cat can recognize them. If there are one or two such deformities in a litter, the mother cat will consider the litter as a "failure". In order not to waste more energy raising these kittens that are difficult to survive and make up for the loss of their own pregnancy, it will abandon them, and some will eat all or part of the kittens.

    It depends on what kind of wine you have, if it's wine.

    1. Observe the appearance of the bottle.

    Each wine has its own label, and the label is rich in information that can help us determine the wine's **, origin, vintage, grade, and even taste.

    Is there anything unusual about the closure of the bottle? If the cork is raised or there is mucus on the mouth of an unopened wine, the quality of the wine is questionable.

    Wine bottles will have a bump at the bottom, which is used to store the sedimentary lees when the wine is upright. The longer the wine needs to be aged, the deeper the bumps. Therefore, generally speaking, good wine needs to be stored for a long time, and the bottom of the bottle is relatively deep, but the wine with deep concave and convex bottom is not necessarily a good wine.

    From the international barcode on the label on the back of the bottle, you can determine which country is produced, such as: 3 - Made in France, 4 - Made in Germany, 6 - Made in China, 8 - Made in Italy, 9 - Australia.

    2. Observe the wine body.

    Observe whether the color of the wine is natural and whether there are any unidentified suspended solids in the body. Usually red wines are ruby red in color, white wines have a clear natural wine color such as pale gold, and the body will be cloudy after spoilage. If the color is not natural, there will be a suspicion of blending.

    A small amount of precipitation at the bottom of the bottle is normal crystals.

    3. Smell the wine.

    When you open a bottle of wine, you will usually smell the aroma of the wine (fruity or floral), and if the wine smells of unpleasant nail polish or rotten eggs, it is a sign that the wine has gone bad.
