Spring Festival Cat Care: Tips for a Happy Feline Celeb

Cat Care Guide: Tips for LeftHome and Traveling with Your Pet

LeftHome Cat Care Strategy

Essential Supplies:

Ample dry food

Excessive water supply

Sufficient cat litter

Important Note to Pet Owners:

Avoid leaving wet food as it can spoil and cause unpleasant odors.

Water and Litter Tips:

Ensure there's plenty of water to prevent evaporation and spills.

Prepare three litter boxes for one cat, and use more litter than usual.

Place waterproof pads on sofas and beds to catch any accidental spills.

Road Trip with Your Cat

PreTrip Preparation:

Choose a suitable pet carrier that is spacious enough for your cat to stand, lie down, and turn around.

Allow your cat to get accustomed to the carrier by placing it in its usual activity area.

Inside the Carrier:

Add a small blanket to create a cozy resting spot.

Occasionally place treats inside to encourage your cat to enter the carrier, which can help release calming pheromones.

On the Day of Travel:

Pack尿垫 and wet wipes in the carrier for any unexpected vomiting or diarrhea.

If your cat is anxious, cover the carrier with a cloth to block its view and ease its nerves.

Driving Tips:

A good driver is essential. Cats can be prone to motion sickness, so avoid aggressive driving.

PostTrip Care:

Allow your cat to rest and adjust to the new environment after arrival.

Monitor your cat closely for the first 35 days for signs of stress or illness.

Cat Boarding Strategy

Preparation for Boarding:

1. Vaccination:

Ensure your cat is uptodate on vaccinations to prevent crosscontamination in a boarding environment.

2. Choose the Right Boarding Environment:

Opt for a catonly boarding facility to minimize stress caused by noise from dogs.

Select a larger space with hiding spots to make your cat feel secure.

3. Bring Familiar Items:

Carry your cat's regular items to provide comfort and familiarity.

4. Include StressRelieving Items:

Bring blankets, soft pads, or pheromoneinfused items to help your cat relax in an unfamiliar place.

5. Considerations for Certain Cats:

Not all cats are suitable for lefthome care or boarding, such as kittens under 6 months, cats on medication, or those with special needs.

PostReturn Care

After Your Cat Returns Home:

Avoid rushing to bathe your cat immediately. Give it a couple of days to adjust.

Be vigilant for signs of urinary blockages, especially after long holidays, and seek veterinary care if necessary.
