They are sweet and gentle, and once they find a sense of security in their new environment, they will quickly integrate into the family, making the family harmonious and warm. So how to take care of it in daily life?

Persian Cat

1. The Persian cat’s food plate must be used permanently and cannot be replaced casually

Persian cats are very sensitive to changes in their food plates and sometimes refuse to eat because their food plates are changed. Keep food dishes clean. Newspaper or plastic paper can be placed under the food plate to prevent the sound of the food plate sliding and make it easy to clean. Every time the Persian cat eats leftover food, throw it away or put it away, mix it with fresh food and cook it before feeding it next time. Feeding should be done at a fixed time. Once the Persian cat's "meal" biological clock is formed, it is relatively fixed and should not be changed at will. The place where Persian cat food is placed should be fixed. Persian cats do not like to eat in places with noisy noises and strong light. If there are guests visiting, do not let the guests look at your Persian cat while the Persian cat is eating. The appearance of strangers , will greatly reduce the appetite of Persian cats. Persian cats have the bad habit of using claw hooks to pick up food or take food out of the food plate to eat. Once this phenomenon is discovered, it must be corrected immediately.

2. Persian cats like to eat warm food

Cold food and cold food not only affect the appetite of Persian cats, but can also easily cause digestive disorders. Under normal circumstances, the appropriate temperature of food is 30 to 40 degrees. Food taken out of the refrigerator should be heated before feeding. Although Persian cats don’t drink much water, they must have enough clean drinking water. Persian cats must drink clean water, and the water must be changed every day. The drinking basin can be placed on the side of the food plate so that the Persian cat can drink freely when it is thirsty. Because Persian cats are long-haired cats, grooming them is very important. Spring is the season when cats shed their hair. At this time, we need to use professional hair grooming tools to comb cats.

3. Bath them regularly

Bathing a Persian cat can not only make the cat beautiful and clean, but also prevent and treat Persian cat skin diseases and external parasitic infections, as well as promote the cat's blood circulation and metabolism and other fitness and disease prevention effects. Persian cats are long-haired cats and are prone to heatstroke in summer. If you suffer from heat stroke, you must first quickly move the cat to a ventilated or shady place, and then use ice cubes or ice water to help cool them down. It is best to send the Persian cat to the veterinarian. Keeping Persian cats indoors keeps them as little exposed to disease and parasites as possible. As long as they receive careful care and good nutrition, go to a trustworthy veterinary hospital every year to treat cats.Get a complete physical exam and get vaccinated.

4. Use a neutral and soft bristle brush to comb the Persian cat’s tail every day

Persian cats shed hair easily, especially the abdominal fluff, which is most easily tangled and knotted. It is a place for dirt and bacteria to breed. Therefore, the owner must set aside 30 minutes for it every day to comb its coat and remove dead hair at the same time. In order to keep the coat smooth and beautiful, you should bathe with shampoo regularly. When the Persian cat is dirty, use neutral soap to wash the coat in warm water, then wash and dry it immediately. Before taking a bath, the Persian cat's hair should be fully combed to remove the shed hair to prevent it from getting tangled during the bath and spending more time on grooming. This is the usual fur care for Persian cats, and the owner must not be lazy. It is not suitable to bathe Persian cats when they are sick. Cats often shed tears when they are sick, and tears are a common problem in purebred Persian cats. However, Persian cats’ tears do not necessarily mean they have eye diseases or diseases. The facial structure of Persian cats is different from that of other cat species, with shorter tear glands. It sheds tears easily when it sees food or yawns. We only need to scrub the Persian cat's eyes more often and occasionally drop chloramphenicol eye drops.

5. Cleaning the Persian cat’s ears is also very important. When there are more tears than usual, you should turn down the cat’s ears

Normal ears are protected by a layer of transparent ear oil. If the ears are very dirty, the cat’s ears need to be cleaned. Generally, cats’ ears are cleaned once every 10 days. After cleaning the ear canal with a small cotton swab, apply some imported ear protection water to prevent the growth of bacteria. If there are ear mites inside, you can buy something called boric acid powder. After cleaning the sick cat’s ears, sprinkle a little bit of boric acid powder into its ears. In summer, turn on the air conditioner or fan to maintain a suitable temperature to prevent Persian cats from heat stroke. If there is no such condition at home, placing a plate of cold water or ice cubes in the area where the cat often spends can also achieve a cooling effect.
