    If the home is in a multi-cat environment, new cats that have just been brought home usually need to be quarantined for about a week or two. Don't let the two cats meet at once, you can keep the two cats in two different rooms, or you can exchange toys with each other's taste, cat litter box, familiar with each other's taste. In the process of getting acquainted with each other, people don't interfere too much, they are afraid to let them hide, they don't fight fiercely and don't interfere, the cat world has their own set of rules, let them dominate, we people to assist.

    Since cats are territorially aware animals, the original cats in the family will feel that their territory is violated, and if they are not isolated, they will cause two cats to attack each other. In addition, it also takes a certain amount of time for new cats to get used to when they arrive at home, so it is best for owners to isolate new cats for a period of time.

    More than 7 days. Cats that have just been bought home must be well checked, especially for infectious disease screening and parasites.

    Check so as not to infect the cats you already have in the house.

    After seven days of normal isolation, if the new cat does not show abnormal symptoms, it can be fed together, but the new cat needs to be dewormed, and after a week of feeding, it needs to be taken to the pet hospital for vaccination.

    Ranging from one week to half a month.

    In such a quiet environment, new cats are more likely to completely relax, familiarize themselves with the environment, and gradually begin to approach their owners.

    The domestic cat will gradually become familiar with the smell of the new cat, and will slowly learn that there is a closed room of its own, and after a long time, it will feel hotter and hotter, more and more want to see the same aspects, the new will wait for the right time, and curiosity will overcome the obstacles.

    Notes:

    When a new cat is in a new environment, it is unlikely to trust its owner very much, and there is a cat staring at it. If the new cat is timid, it will become nervous, and if the new cat is bold, it will bully the old cat.

    For the original cat, when a strange smell suddenly appears in the house, it will feel the love of the owner to share with the new cat, so there will be quite strong hostility and vigilance.

    New cats, whether adopted domestic cats or stray cats picked up, must be quarantined for a period of time. They must not be allowed to come into direct contact. Because even domestic cats may carry viruses and bacteria, even brought from their mothers, many viruses will have an incubation period, such as feline plague virus.

    If it is a stray cat, it should be isolated, because stray cats often have lice on their bodies, worms in their bodies, and ear mites in their ears...

    It is generally recommended to keep them alone on the balcony to prevent physical contact. Wait until you have done body cleaning, vaccination, and deworming, and then let them come into contact with them.

    During this quarantine period, the old cat must know that the other party exists, and it must be more nervous at first, but after a long time, it is found that the new cat may not leave, and it seems to have no impact on its family status, and it will slowly relax.

    If the new cat is a kitten, it will be easier to get along, because the new cat will generally be more cowardly, and the kitten will be even more cowardly, and when the old cat establishes its authority, it will naturally be easy to get along.

    If the new cat is also an adult cat, and the gender is still the same, then it is estimated that there will be a fight, usually cut their nails to prevent scratches, and if they find that the fight is very fierce, they will be forced to separate. And you can only wait for them to get acquainted with it, and there is no particularly good way.

    Therefore, it is recommended that if you want to have a second cat, it is better to have a kitten, preferably of a different gender, which will be much easier.

    Of the two cats in the cat's family, one has just been neutered and needs to be isolated? In addition, what should I do if I isolate it and keep dialing the cage?

    Reasons for the need to quarantine after neutering.

    First of all, quarantine is definitely about isolation. But we also need to know the reason, which is actually very simple, that is, they are afraid that they will lick their wounds. The same is true of the Dai Elizabeth Circle.

    I am also afraid that they will lick the wound with anti-inflammatory drugs, one of the two will cause the wound to deepen, after all, the cat's tongue is barbed, which will make the wound difficult to heal or even deepen. And it goes without saying that licking anti-inflammatory drugs will definitely have an impact on health. So only one cat can be solved with Elizabeth circles, and two or more need to be quarantined.

    How to isolate better.

    If it is not unconditional, it is recommended not to use the cage for isolation, especially if the cat is not usually used to living in the cage. It's good to separate two rooms, two cats should usually have two litter boxes, preferably one in one room.

    After isolation, it is estimated that there will be uneasy situations, especially those who are usually used to being the king and hegemon, and they have no choice but to continue to get used to it, after all, they have just lost the most important thing in meow. Give it some canned food that you don't usually want to buy. Toys are also okay, after all, it is already so miserable.

    If you lose something, you have to gain something.

    Delicious and playful, it can temporarily make them forget about their pain, and it can also reduce their restlessness.

    The recommendation is to isolate first.

    First of all, your cat will not suddenly feel threatened by his position and territory.

    Second, it will be easier for new cats to completely let go of their apprehensions in such a quiet environment, get familiar with the environment, and slowly begin to get close to their owners.

    Third, the cat at home will gradually become familiar with the smell of the new cat, and slowly know that there is a kind of person of their own in the closed room, after a long time, they will feel more and more cordial, and they will want to see the new same kind more and more, and when the time is right, curiosity will overcome rejection, and at this time, everything will fall into place.

    Fourth, the new cat will also slowly become familiar with the smell of the original cat in the owner's body, and also more and more want to ** the unknown space behind the door, at this time, its curiosity will overcome fear.

    If you don't quarantine, there will be a few bad things.

    First, the new cat has just come to a new environment, and it is impossible to trust the owner very much, plus there are cats staring at it, if the new cat is timid, then it will become uneasy, and if the new cat is bold, it will bully the original cat, so that the atmosphere between the two cats will be a mess.

    Second, for the original cat, if an unfamiliar breath suddenly appears in the home, it will feel that part of the owner's love will be given to the new cat, so there will be quite strong hostility and vigilance.

    Third, when the war between the two cats is raging, the new cat will have trouble sleeping in the new environment, at this time, don't expect it to have any trust in the owner, over time, the situation will get worse and worse.

    When a new cat arrives at home, it must be isolated from the original cat to avoid infectious diseases.

    When a new cat arrives at home, it must be isolated for observation.

    Originally, I thought that isolation was to prevent fights and prevent each other from transmitting diseases, but after practice, I have now found that there is another benefit.

    Generally, the cat boss who has become a climate in the family will not easily accept outsiders, and the older the cat, the less courageous it is. At this time, bringing back a new cat will naturally be a war that will last forever. But if you bring a new cat home, just isolate it in a room for a while, and don't let it meet other cats, the benefits are as follows:

    1. The new cat will gradually become familiar with you, and it will be easier to completely relax and get familiar with the environment in such a quiet space;

    2. The original cat in the family will not immediately feel that the territory and status are threatened;

    3. The original cat in the house probably didn't know that there was a kind of cat of his own behind the closed door. It will gradually become familiar with the scent of the new cat from you, and over time it will become more and more familiar: and the desire to see the cat will grow stronger, and at a certain time curiosity will prevail over rejection;

    4. The new cat is gradually familiar with the smell of the original cat at home from you, and in the case of trusting the new owner, it is more and more likely to isolate the space outside the house, and curiosity has overcome all fears.

    The disadvantages of not isolating are as follows:

    1. The original cat in the house will immediately feel the unfamiliar smell and feel that the owner's love will be divided into a part to the guy who doesn't know who is anyone, so as to establish a fairly strong sense of vigilance and hostility.

    2. The new cat is afraid of this new environment, does not fully trust the new owner, and there are other cats next to it, the timid will be restless, and the bold will bully the original cat and make the atmosphere worse, even if it is not deliberately bullied, it will be misunderstood by the original cat.

    3. When the war between cats and cats is raging, the new cat cannot eat and rest peacefully, nor can it fully establish trust in the new owner; Over time, the relationship between humans and cats will create a vicious circle.

    Of course, if you have let the new cat get along with the original cat for a day or two, whether they fight with each other or not, whether the fight is fierce or not, this trick of isolation will not have the greatest effect.

When the kittens arrive at the new home, they will adapt to it in two or three days, most of them will take a week to adapt, and some more sensitive cats will take a month to adapt.

    When the cat arrives at the new home, the owner should not rush to tease the cat, but should let the cat move freely, so that the cat can slowly adapt to the new home and not have a serious stress reaction. Cats should not change food immediately, it is recommended to eat the original cat food, and then slowly transition.

    The new cat can adapt to it in about 7 days after arriving at home.

    The cat can adapt to the new environment for about 7 days, and the cat that has just been brought home is not adapted to the environment, if the new environment has things and smells that it is familiar with, such as its toys and its cat nest, it will take faster to adapt to the new environment.

    What should I pay attention to when changing the environment for cats?

    1.First of all, you have to give the cat a quiet environment, don't let the child make noise to it, just enter the front of the house, the cat is still more nervous, and playing with the child will make it more vigilant. In a quiet environment, it can feel relaxed and eat with confidence.

    2.Check the cat's food and water every two hours to see how well it eats and drinks, and whether it excretes normally. After the inspection, remember to play with the cat for a while, bring some snacks and cat toys, and communicate with it to increase emotion.

    3.Put some catnip in the cat's activity area and arrange some toys such as cat scratchers. If possible, take some living items from its original place so that the cat can get familiar with it as soon as possible.

    4.If you come back and haven't eaten or drunk for a whole day, you should pay attention to it, and contact the previous owner or send it to the hospital as soon as possible.

    5.Please don't bathe it for a month. It is easy to lose resistance, please wait for the cat to adapt to the new environment before giving it a bath with peace of mind.

    6.Please do not change the cat food for a month. Cats are picky eaters, don't change the ration in the new environment, otherwise the cat is easy to go on a hunger strike, and then slowly change the food after it is stable.
