Cat breeding tips

Important tips for raising a cat are:

Ensure that cats are not sensitive to any family member before deciding to breed a cat at home. Get the cat from a reliable source.
Visit the veterinarian regularly, and give the cat the necessary vaccinations.
Do not leave young children alone with a cat, as they may be exposed to biting and scratching from the cat.
Familiarize family members with handling the cat gently and not harming him.
Keep your cat at home to protect it from harm, and to ensure that communicable diseases are not transmitted to it.
Keep the litter box (sandbox) clean, wear gloves when cleaning, and make sure to wash hands thoroughly when finished.
Involving children in caring for the cat, as this helps children to feel responsible.
Ensuring a quiet and comfortable place for the cat, and ensuring that it is clean and combing its hair.
If the cat scratches a family member, the scratch site should be washed immediately with soap and water.
Refer to the doctor immediately in the event of biting, and take antibiotics to eliminate the germs that may be transmitted from the cat's wound to the wound.
Clipping your cat's nails regularly, because the cat may resort to scratching furniture to get rid of the old layers of nails, just as scratching brings him pleasure and a sense of security, so the cat's claws must be cut to protect furniture.
Refrain from cutting the cat's mustaches forever, because it helps him feel the environment surrounding him, the spaces available to him, and his way in the dark, and when cutting the mustache the cat becomes confused.
