Cat Home Care Encyclopedia!
Some secretions often appear in cats' eyes. If ignored, "tear bumps" will form around the eyes, and sometimes the hair color will change, so it should be cleaned up frequently. Use a cotton ball or gauze dipped in warm water to gently wipe the eyes, soften the secretions and gently wipe off with a dry cotton ball.
The cat's eyes are very sensitive and they cannot use human eye drops just because there is secretion. In addition, boric acid water may cause inflammation and must be taken care of when using it. Some breeds, like Persian cats, are easily stained around their eyes due to their tears. However, if you are not only secretions, but also have fever, listlessness, and loss of appetite, these symptoms may be sick and you must be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately. In addition, if there is too much secretion, which makes the eyes almost unable to open, it is also necessary to send it to the hospital as soon as possible.
Usually, cats can naturally remove the earwax and moisture inside by just shaking their ears, so the owner does not have to clean their ears for them often. When the ears are dirty, soak the cotton swab in the baby makeup oil to clean the dirt in the ears within visible range. In addition, after taking a shower, be sure to clean the moisture in your ears.
But if all the fat in the ear is removed, the ears will lose their resistance to bacteria and dust, and they will easily get sick, so they cannot clean the ears too much. There are also cats who hate to clean their ears. Use one hand to spread your five fingers into a fan shape and pinch your auricle cleanly. It is safer for a irritable cat to wrap it in a towel and then clean it up. When black dirt appears in your ears, you may have ear mites or otitis and you need to be sent to the hospital.
Although cats rely on themselves to cut their nails, if that is the case, their nails will grow too long and scratch their owners and furniture. Moreover, there may be cases where nails break or nails pierce into the meat pad. Therefore, the front paws are once every two weeks and the hind paws are once every 3 to 4 weeks, and use nail clippers for cat claws to trim.
First put the cat on your knees and hug it from behind. Gently squeeze the skin behind the nails and the nail tips will stick out. Cut off the tip of the nail 1 to 2 mm. Blood vessels pass through the pink part of the nail root, so don't hurt it. If the nails are cut too hard for a while, the cat will hate cutting their nails in the future. To avoid this situation, it is best to ask a veterinarian to help you cut it for the first time and ask clearly how much to cut it.
