Essential Preparations for New Pet Arrival: A Checklist

Upon arriving home, first set up your living environment to make it cozy and welcoming. Once everything is in place, gently place your cat in the litter box, allowing it to explore the new surroundings at its own pace. It's also a good idea to have a cat cage ready, just in case you need it for any reason.

Next, let's delve into the systematic learning of the following content:

I. Litter Box Usage:

1. Position the litter box in a quiet area of the home with minimal foot traffic. Avoid placing it near the kitchen or bathroom.

2. Start with a layer of litter about 5 centimeters high. If your cat seems unsatisfied, you can add more.

3. After placing your cat in the litter box, gently guide its paws into the litter to encourage it to use the box. If it successfully uses the litter box once, it indicates that it has learned to go to the bathroom.

4. Clean the litter box daily and replace the litter completely every 10 days.

II. Feeding Your Cat:

1. Puppies should be fed twice a day: a half can in the morning and a half can with half a probiotic in the evening. Regular probiotics can greatly boost their health. During this time, you can also offer nutritional supplements like nutritional paste, lysine paste, and immunopolysaccharide paste to enhance their immunity.

2. Avoid giving your cat any other food, especially snacks or human food, initially.

3. After three days, you can introduce kitten kibble or kitten food, starting with 1530 grams per meal. Adjust the amount based on your cat's appetite and weight.

III. Daily Care:

1. Wipe your cat's eyes, nose, and corners of the mouth with a petspecific wet wipe once a day.

2. Administer eye drops to your cat once a day and clean its ears every three days.

3. Brush your cat's fur at least twice a week with a petspecific brush.

4. Clean your cat's mouth at least once a week using a petspecific toothbrush or dental powder.

IV. Essential Items for Your Home (Available at most pharmacies and supermarkets):

1. Dalijian: Treats cat diarrhea.

2. Probiotics: Improves gut flora, reduces stress and diarrhea.

3. Multivitamin Tablets: Treats anorexia and provides nutritional supplements.

4. Lecithin: Nutritional supplement, boosts skin resistance, and prevents ringworm.

5. Nutritional Paste: Nutritional supplement, prevents hypoglycemia.

6. Disinfectant Powder: Cleans your cat's living environment.

V. Vaccinations and Deworming:

1. Cats that you bring home have usually been vaccinated with the feline trivalent vaccine and dewormed (the frequency should be noted in the vaccine record or consult staff).

2. Pet stores typically notify you in advance about future vaccinations, and deworming should be done monthly.

VI. Spaying and Neutering:

The best time for cats to be spayed or neutered is around 68 months of age. This should be done by a professional veterinarian.

VII. Safety Precautions:

1. Install window screens to prevent your cat from jumping out.

2. Keep your cat away from damp areas like the kitchen and bathroom to avoid skin diseases.

3. Most household plants are toxic to cats, so ensure they do not chew on them.

4. In summer, avoid keeping your cat in rooms with temperatures below 26 degrees Celsius. In winter, provide adequate warmth with heating options like air conditioning or electric blankets.

VIII. Abnormal Symptoms:

If your kitten shows any of the following signs, please take it to a veterinary clinic immediately: vomiting yellow fluid more than three times a day, watery feces, loss of appetite, significant weight loss, sneezing, runny nose, drooling, constant ear scratching, or a patch of missing fur.
