Chapter 6 Grooming the Children

Chapter 6: Bathing the Children

The weather was cold in the morning, so Li Shenxing made hot noodle soup for breakfast.

Li Shenxing first put the hand-rolled noodles in water to boil, and then saw him take out a large fresh-keeping bowl from the refrigerator.

When I opened it, it was marinated spicy beef.

Li Shenxing scooped a large spoonful of beef and soup into a small pot and heated it.

When the noodles are almost cooked, put some green vegetables in and blanch, then scoop up and drain the water, pour it into a bowl, and finally pour the hot beef on the noodles, and a bowl of spicy beef noodle soup is ready.

Take a sip while it's hot, the rich beef-flavored soup spreads out in your mouth, the whole body is warm, the beef is crispy and soft, and the noodles are strong and chewy, which makes Li Shenxing eat refreshingly.

"Uh!!" with a full burp, Li Shenxing put the bowl down, and it was empty.

"It's only comfortable to eat hot food on a cold day. "Get up and wash the pots and dishes.

After breakfast, he couldn't do much work, so while it was time to eat, Li Shenxing helped the children at home brush their hairs.

Grooming cats frequently not only alleviates the annoyance of children shedding to their owners, but also has many benefits for the children themselves.

Here are a few examples:

Promote blood circulation: In the process of combing for children, combing needles and massaging the skin repeatedly can promote children's blood circulation, increase skin resistance, and eliminate children's physical fatigue.

Light hair loss: Groom often, the dead hair will be combed down the comb, and will not fall all over the room with the children's activities. Anyone who has ever had a cat or dog knows that the hair falls everywhere, and you can't sit on the sofa.

Cats licking their bodies will eat these shedding hairs into the stomach and intestines to form hairballs, affecting digestion and excretion, causing vomiting, constipation and other conditions, and frequent brushing can reduce the occurrence of this situation.

The hair is combed frequently, stimulates the hair follicles, ensures better hair quality and hair volume for pets, and makes the cat's coat smooth and shiny. Therefore, developing the habit of grooming your cat every day can not only reduce the trouble caused by cat shedding, but also allow children to have healthy skin and hair.

After brushing, Li Shenxing cleaned up all the hair on the comb and threw it in the trash, and then took out the nail clippers for cats and dogs to cut the nails of the children.

Cats and dogs have to cut their nails from time to time, otherwise they will scratch the furniture when they grind their paws. A cat's nails are tucked into the claw, and in order to show the nails, you can hold down the tip of the paw pad with your thumb while tilting the tip of the paw downward.

Pay attention to one point when cutting the cat's nails, you can't cut too much, look carefully, you will find that there is a red thin line in the middle of the cat's nails, that is the blood vessel, cut to the point that it will bleed, the cat will be painful, you can only cut the red thin line before the white tip of the nail.

If the cat is not used to cutting its nails, then we can give the cat a little reward after cutting a paw, compliment, caressing, and hugging are fine. After all the nails are cut, praise the cat for cutting its nails so beautifully, give the cat more attention and stroke, and you can also feed them some snacks that they usually love to eat as a reward, so as to establish a good conditioned reflex.

Now that Xiaopang, the prince is used to cutting their nails and everything, and they will not be afraid, so they obediently let Li Shenxing fiddle. But don't think that they have always been like this, when they first brought them home, they resisted violently, Li Shenxing could only wrap their bodies tightly with a towel, and then expose their paws to help cut their nails, and after cutting their nails, they had to give snacks to soothe, and over time they had such results.

It was almost half past nine that Hyo-ri, who was sleeping lazily in bed, woke up leisurely.

There are generally three steps for Xiaoli to get up: first stretch a big waist, then roll the quilt on the bed a few times, and then get up from the bed and put on home clothes, and go to the bathroom to wash.

More than ten minutes later, Hyo-ri, who had a refreshing face, walked out of the bathroom and walked outside.

As soon as he reached the staircase, Hyori saw Li Shenxing, who was sitting on the floor with his back to the stairs and playing with the children on the wooden floor of the living room.

The kind of patience and gentleness shown by Li Shenxing directly hit the soft place in Xiaoli's heart, making her feel that he will definitely be a good father in the future.

Standing on tiptoe, Xiaoli walked down the stairs lightly, and when he walked behind Li Shenxing, he threw himself on his back.

A pair of strong hands held her ass in time and didn't let her sit on the floor.

"Alas~" Seeing that he was not frightened, Xiaoli shouted in disappointment, "It's not fun~!"

"Little fool~!" Li Shenxing patted her ass dotingly, "I saw you, how can I be scared!"

Hyo-ri looked up, and sure enough, their figures were reflected on the ground in front of them.

"Are you hungry, what do you want to eat?"

"I'll eat whatever Oba eats in the morning~!"

"Then get out of the way, or how am I going to get up?"

"I don't, Oba can just carry me on my back!"

"Okay, okay, you little mischievous cat, hug it and don't fall down. ”

Li Shenxing hooked Xiaoli's two legs in front of his waist, then leaned down and knelt on the ground, supporting the floor with his hands and slowly squatting up.

"Huh~!Cat, it's time to exercise. Li Shenxing laughed.

Don't Li Shenxing do it looks simple and lightweight, if you are not careful, it is likely to twist to your waist.

"Ahh

"Stinky puppet, you dare to dislike me, don't you?" said Hyori with his mouth open and biting his ear.

In fact, Xiaoli didn't bite very hard, and Li Shenxing didn't feel a pain in his ears, this was just a small game between the two of them to show affection.

After making trouble for a while, Li Shenxing carried Xiaoli to the kitchen, put her on a chair and sat down, and began to cook breakfast for her --- spicy beef noodles.

The noodles were quickly ready, and Li Shenxing sat next to her to accompany her.

"By the way, let's bathe the kids later. ”

"Yes!" Hyori readily agreed.

After Xiaoli finished breakfast, he rested for a while before he and Li Shenxing each carried two cats into the bathroom on the first floor.

Spread a rubber mat or towel in the tub and pour warm water. The water temperature is about 38-40 degrees Celsius. Some cats are more comfortable with putting it in the basin first and then pouring the water. Have a cat bath and two towels ready, preferably with a cat-specific bath gel or with Johnson & Johnson Baby Tear-Free Formula.

After adjusting the water temperature, use the fish basin specially used for bathing cats and other water, and slowly put the children down when it is half full.

"Meow~Meow~Meow~"

"It's really enjoyable to see how comfortable you are. ”

Bathing a cat is not a simple and easy thing, if your cat does not like to bathe, it is best to find someone who is familiar with the cat to help you, it is best not to bathe the cat alone. You can ask him to grab the cat's leg or the cat's jaw to prevent the cat from biting you. Wear a long-sleeved outfit so that the cat doesn't scratch your arm. Before washing, it is better to cut off its long, pointed nails beforehand.

Note: It is best not to use other human bath liquids, as cats will lick and eat the bath residue on their bodies, which may cause gastrointestinal upset. Never use shampoo to bathe your cat's cat! shampoo residue can damage your cat's stomach.

However, the children in Li Shenxing's family have very good personalities, and they don't have the habit of biting people, but squint their eyes and look very enjoyable.

"Look at a few of you, you're the fattest. "The hair is the most visible when it is wet, and the chubby belly is bulging, which is a lot bigger than the others!

"It's okay, not too fat, Oba, when did you take them for a check-up last time?"

"It's been almost half a year, so when are we going to take them for a physical examination?"

"Let's wait for these two days, wait for me to arrange the time. ”

After speaking, he took a bottle of bath gel from the side, opened it and poured it into his hand first, and then wiped it on the cat's body to scratch and wash.

Do not get the bath liquid in your cat's eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. If you bathe the cat as long as it is to get rid of fleas, then you need to wet the cat's neck first, the fleas will flee to a dry place, the wet neck will allow them to escape from the cat's head, and then wet the rest of the body.

Rinse the bath with clean water and rinse 2-3 times until there is no foam. Grab the water off the cat's body with your hands, and then wipe it with a towel, and the cat bath is considered to be finished.

Precautions: Generally, indoor cats should be bathed 2~3 times a month, and outdoor cats should be bathed 1-2 times a month. Don't bathe cats under three months old, but it is still necessary to let the cat get used to bathing earlier, it will be difficult to wash it when it is older.

Mimi, Chubby, they are very well-behaved in the bath, and they can wash whatever you want without moving.

Li Shenxing and Xiaoli are very skilled, one person holds the cat with his arm in his hand, and the other person takes the water off the cat's body, and then wipes it with a towel to dry.

After bathing them, Li Shenxing and Xiao Li took turns to dry their hair one by one with a hair dryer to avoid catching a cold and getting sick. If it's summer, just wait for yourself to dry.

"Whew~!I'm so tired~!" After bathing the children, Hyo-ri fell directly on the sofa.

Li Shenxing patted her thigh, "Turn around and give you a massage." ”

"Oba is so good. Immediately turned over and lay on her stomach, waiting for Li Shenxing to massage her.
