The veterinarian once again advised: raising cats like this is equivalent to "chronic cat killing", please don t do it!

Raising a cat is a responsibility, and you need to be responsible for the health and happiness of the cat. However, some ways to keep cats may seem out of love, but in fact they may cause serious harm to the cat. Here are some cat raising methods that veterinarians strongly recommend to avoid.

1. Declawing on a cat is a very controversial surgery that actually removes the bones at the end of the cat's toes. Not only is this a very painful process, it can permanently change the way the cat walks and natural behaviors, which can lead to joint problems, behavioral problems and persistent pain. The correct approach is to regularly trim the cat's paws and provide items that claws rub, such as grabbing boards.

PS: It's so cruel that it's even worse than "Mickey's Ear"! (Imagine that ten fingers are connected to the heart. This surgery is equivalent to cutting off the cat's fingers...)

2. Shave cats in summer and wear cotton coats in winter

Many cat owners believe that shaving cats in summer can help them cool down, but this is actually a misunderstanding. Cat's hair not only keeps warm, but also protects the skin from direct sunlight and external damage. Shaving cats’ hair can cause them to lose this natural layer of protection, increasing the risk of sunburn and skin diseases.

The correct way is to keep your home cool, provide adequate drinking water, and let the cat adjust its body temperature by itself. The same is true for wearing cotton coats for cats in winter. Unless there are special circumstances, such as extreme cold and strong cold air, or going out, the temperature at home is enough to make the cat comfortable, and there is no need to cover the cat tightly!

PS: If conditions permit, you can prepare a constant temperature cat nest for the cat! And shaved cats are easily beaten in many cat families!

3. Take your cat out for fun

Although some cats may like outdoor adventures, for most domestic cats, the outdoor environment is full of unknown risks, such as vehicles, predators and diseases. Sudden outdoor activities can also put huge pressure on cats. If you want your cat to be exposed to the outdoors, consider using a cat harness for supervised outdoor activities in a safe environment.

4. Bathing cats regularly

Cats usually do not need to bathe frequently, because they have very good self-cleaning ability. Frequent bathing can not only put stress on cats, but can also damage the natural oils on their skin, causing dryness and irritation. It is not recommended to bathe your cat frequently unless it is recommended by a veterinarian or if the cat needs cleaning for a specific reason (such as being stained).

5. Overfeeding cats with three highs: making them so-called "chubby" may look cute, but in fact it is extremely bad for their health. Obese cats are prone to diabetes, joint diseases and other health problems. A balanced diet should be provided according to the veterinary advice and the weight management needs of the cat, and ensure they have sufficient exercise.

6. Do not vaccinate or deworm cats

Some owners may think that their cats are clean and have never left the house, so they will not be infected with any diseases or parasites, so they do not need to be vaccinated or dewormed.

In fact, this is also a very dangerous approach. Whether indoor or outdoor cats, they may be exposed to some animals or items that carry viruses or parasites, such as mice, birds, insects, grasslands, etc. Like your soles or body.

I hope you don’t get the above ones. If you have more, you should pay attention to the health of your cat!
