What should I prepare for a new member a cat in my family?

A lot of shovelers.

I will feel that my cat is actually very lonely sometimes, so I plan to find a companion for the cat, and then raise a new cat, the new kitten and the original cat meet each other, and it takes a process to get to know each other, so what can the shovel officer do for this?

1. Help the two cats to isolate at the beginning

Because cats have a certain sense of territory, when they see other cats coming to their homes, they will feel that this is a provocation and invasion. So when the new members first came to the house, the two little ones sometimes couldn't get along peacefully at all, they were still in a strange state, and at this time the shovel officer had to isolate them so that the two cats could have a buffer time.

Be careful not to mix your cat's utensils, as this is likely to make the first cat feel aggressive, which can lead to conflicts. The owner can let the cats eat in different places to prevent the cats from competing with each other. When the two cats have not fully accepted each other, don't rush to let them get up close and personal.

At least observe whether the new cat is unwell for a week, let both parties slowly get used to each other's barks before trying to meet, and after getting acquainted with each other a few times, try to put them together.

2. Vaccination, immunization and health check-up

New cats should be taken home after being vaccinated or at least one shot, and it is best to go to the hospital for a physical examination to prevent trouble due to carrying germs. Because there is already a cat in the house, they are likely to have some intimate contact with each other, so that there is an infection between the two little ones, the cats in the house are quite healthy, but because of the addition of outsiders, let them get sick, so the gains outweigh the losses.

3. Take care of the emotions of the aborigines

The arrival of the second cat can be described as a earth-shaking change in the eyes of the original cat, because he is no longer the only baby of the shovel officer. With the addition of new members, the shovel officer must take care of the original kitten's emotions and not make it feel lonely. At the same time, pay attention to the stress and physical health of the new cat, and also avoid the stress of the original cat.

After arriving at home, the new little guy will be a little uncomfortable, but it turns out that the little cat is actually very aggrieved. The shovel officer should weigh it carefully and see if there is any difference between the two cats. In particular, the aborigines should not be left out in the cold.

4. Feeding of the second cat

Having a second cat is also a new cat, and the precautions for a new cat are the same. For example, feed the cat food fed by the original owner first, and change the food needs to pay attention to excessive time and step by step; If the cat does not eat or drink, it may be because of the lack of adaptation to the new environment, the owner needs to give the cat a quiet environment, put water and delicious food, and give the new member time to let it slowly adapt to it.

First of all, it is necessary to have cat food, first solve the problem of cat's eating, and then it is the problem of sleeping, prepare a comfortable bed for cats, or a sofa, and finally a place for cats to shovel feces!

It is recommended that you must prepare the cat's supplies before picking up the cat, and you must prepare the right cat food, and you can also prepare a cat nest for the cat, and the most important thing is the cat toy.
