Cat Dental Care
Part of the necessary care and elementary pets we have at home, is to maintain your dental health. In fact few people who understand the importance of good dental hygiene for pets, especially when it comes to cat. As cats are very special animals for human contact, not displayed easily as do to keep your teeth in good condition.
The first point is to understand the importance of the subject. If not wash the cat’s teeth, plaque builds up therein, That plate is increasingly important and eventually generates an infectious process in gum known as gingivitis. Gingivitis brings several consequences, no good, indeed.
One of them, perhaps the least important in terms of health but of coexistence is halitosis or bad breath. This is due to infection of the gums, which can migrate throughout the body, compromising seriously the health of the pet.
Another consequence is the loss of firmness in the mooring of teeth leading to the loss thereof. It goes without saying that this will hurt the cat.
A cat with few teeth feeds poorly, which in itself affects overall health.
For all these reasons we have to know when we bring a cat home, that part of routine care is brushing teeth and gums. In a next post we will see how.
Educating The Cat
If there is a rather complicated task is to teach the cat. Generally, they are so clean that teach them to use the tray does not give us any work, but if other things ensañarles. The point is not to believe that the dog and cat have so many similarities in that sense, because they simply do not. For the dog to get our approval is key, just because you say “very good, very good” and cherish when you have done something we want to do, is enough to understand. The problem is that the cat our approval is something that is completely not care. If we like it and if not the same.
Living with a cat is a challenge, just for that. They are affectionate when they want, just at that time. Play if you want, but ignore us. The point is to teach not to do things like climb onto furniture or bite.
If the dog does the positive stimulation, with the cat does surprise. If we want to discourage that up to that side, once this in place, at the right time to go up, do sound a loud whistle. The surprise does not like.
Care must be recorded each time it has the unwanted behavior. Another option is to throw a small stream of water. The point is that when we do not see that is a surprise, but stops working.
If the problem is that we bite, when it does we stick a scream as loud as possible, rather acute. A short, sharp cry can startle him enough to not do it again.
Animal Abuse: Removal Of The Nails Of The Cat
Abuse to animals takes many forms. When you think abuse is thought to direct attacks, both by action and omission, but rarely see it more globally. Who submits a pet to unnecessary surgery for aesthetic, ill. Both the owner and the veterinarian who do this are subjecting an animal to unnecessary suffering. It’s just an example.
It is also very serious abuse, which he violated a dog when you operate the vocal cords not to bark. The same: the owner and veterinarian. If you do not like the dog barks, educadlo. If not, then not having dogs is not an obligation.
Today we will see one of the most cruel to the cats and remove the claws of a cat. This procedure is done under anesthesia, but then it is very painful. If infected, which is always possible, can be fatal.
After that go through that pain and risk, not the end. The health of a cat relies heavily on the use of nails. For cleaning that the same is done, it will not be beaten.
The nails used to scale, which makes for fun and to get to safety, if for example, is followed by a dog. The cat try to climb anyway, so you usually produce painful injuries.
Yet even today this surgery is practiced. Let us fight against this form of abuse as any other.
Cat Hotels
When we go on vacation and not a good idea to keep the cat, we have to decide what to do. Cats are very territorial, so remove them from home is a big source of stress. However, not always possible to stay home to care for someone you trust, so it is necessary to find a good hotel for pets.
It is very important to take time to visit several. My main advice is to discuss the issue with our vet we trust to recommend one or more locations.
During the visit we have to do several things. The facilities have to be spacious, clean and safe. The breadth is key to every animal has its own space. The cats do not like anything that has to be in large groups.
The hygiene of the place is very important, and a tour helps us to evaluate this point. Security is seen looking for any possible point of leakage, especially in open spaces.
The area where the cats stay can not be the same as that of the dogs, neither be polluted from the standpoint of sound, with the barking. The cat will live if something stressful and hear barking is not at all good idea. The cat area has to be as quiet as possible, without unnecessary distractions.
It is important to take your bed and tray, to recognize their own items. Their own food, with the corresponding tag with the name, it is essential to avoid changes in diet.
Dog and Cat
We will not discuss the relationship between dogs and cats is an almost always controversial, are two species not feel great sympathy for each other, but it is impossible to get a good coexistence with each other. Clearly, there are dogs and cats that however much we try, they will not ever have a fairly friendly relationship and can not live in the same house, but a lot of cases you can. I tell you my personal experience.
Consider the situation of two adult animals, which is the most complicated of all. The main point is the presentation. If the cat is already living at home will feel invaded their territory, which will not like it one bit. We must be very, very quiet, let the dog enters the room who does not know and explore. The cat will remain between cautious and aggressive.
The most important thing is not to intervene if necessary, do not cry for nothing. The dog must have a strap so you can remove it quickly if necessary. But let them interact, smell, and that each react naturally. Security in those first moments after the initial curiosity, perhaps one of the two display something aggressive. Nor intervene, unless of course the dog is big and aggressive, let the cat if you need to show your anger, but it will not be growling.
The first few days, are studied, they look much, smell what they can and perhaps some attempt to show who’s boss. Then come to sleep later closer and in a few days, are friends.
