Many families have two or more cats. Having multiple cats can be a lot of fun, especially when the cats get along and create more joy. However, they may have some fights over food, water and territory.
And we will put a lot of stress on each cat, causing them to splash each other, go to the toilet incorrectly, or develop anxiety-related illnesses.
When raising multiple cats, make sure you provide them with adequate resources and space. Your cat life will be happier if each of your cats has enough safe options for eating, sleeping, defecating, and playing.
Let's take a look at what we can do to make our cats live in peace.
1. Food and water
Adequate food and water sources must be provided. Each cat should have its own water basin and food basin, so that it can be timely to find out which cat is eating less, which is conducive to the observation of the cats' diet.
Food and water bowls should be placed in an accessible, private and ventilated location for the cat. Keep food and water clean and fresh, at least once a day, and remember to clean water and food bowls regularly.
2. Toilet
Cat owners should prepare multiple litter boxes and place them in quiet corners of the home, preferably in a ventilated place to facilitate the diffusion of odors, and the number of cat litter boxes is preferably greater than the number of cats.
The cat litter should be kept clean, the cat should be cleaned in time after going to the toilet, and the cat litter box should also be cleaned frequently to keep the toilet clean.
3. Environment
Ensure that each cat has its own exclusive rest area and living space, which cannot be overcrowded, and can have a place to hide when faced with fear or danger.
Ensure that cats can explore, walk, climb, stretch and play freely, and provide enough scratching boards and other tools for cats to sharpen their claws, otherwise your furniture will be scratched by cats!
4. Vaccines and deworming
Too many cats will attract many diseases, such as ringworm, infectious rhinobronchitis and infectious peritonitis, etc. Therefore, it is very important to observe carefully, to detect abnormal cats in time, to keep them in isolation, to prevent disease transmission in time, and to take sick cats to treatment.
Health awareness is very important in multi-cat households. Cats must be vaccinated on a regular basis to excrete parasites from the body and the body on a regular basis.Cats must be vaccinated regularly to expel internal and external parasites on a regular basis.
5. Provide your cat with plenty of exercise
When cats don't get enough exercise, they become obese. What's more interesting is that if a cat becomes obese, other cats will also become obese.
As an owner, you can interact with your cats from time to time, which not only provides them with a lot of exercise, but also brings you closer to their relationship.
