    Cats can be susceptible to diseases such as toxoplasmosis, rabies, salmonellosis, ringworm in cats, echinococcosis, etc. Cats have a lot of parasites, and if they are exposed to it for a long time, they may transmit diseases, cause physical discomfort, and other diseases.

    Cat Habits:

    Cats like to have a regular life.

    Cats don't look at the time, but they seem to have an alarm clock in their bodies. Cats like to wake up at a set time, lick their fur, eat, play, and sleep. Cats are also very smart to observe their owners' routines and adjust their schedules accordingly. Beginning!

    Cats hate confusion and don't like change.

    If you don't want your cat in the bedroom, set rules at the beginning and follow them strictly. Because cats can't understand the fickle characteristics of human beings, why do the same thing, the owner is happy for a while, and then he wants to scold me and beat me.

    Cats also don't like too many changes to their living environment, for example, if you throw away the worn-out cat scratcher that it has used for a long time, the cat will get angry. For cats, every day is the same, and they will not find it boring, which is the best!

    Cats are territorial.

    If you have a dog, they will probably be more than happy to explore new worlds with you, and they like to live in groups and follow humans. But cats like to stay in their familiar environment, without any danger, no invasion of alien species, no unfamiliar smell, so that cats will feel at ease.

    Male cats are naturally more territorial, but female cats also attach great importance to their own litter.

    Cats love to sleep.

    Cats sleep 16-20 hours a day, and only a very small number of cats suffer from insomnia. Each cat has their own preferred sleeping spot, and they may stay in different places to nap at different times, some cats like to sleep in high places, some cats like to bask in the sun, some cats like to curl up in corners, and some like to lie on the ground on all fours.
