359 Feeding goat's milk

But seriously, the poop pulled by the little milk cat is also very smelly, and the smell is really good. Every time Nanxing cleans the litter box, he takes a deep breath and then holds his breath, and waits until he finishes shoveling before breathing, if his lung capacity is not good, he may be suffocated.

In the past two days, Nanxing pinched his nose while checking Hanamaki's poop.

After looking at it for a few days, there was no trace of insects, so although the owner of the pet store was not very attentive to these little cats, he did not let them be infected with insects. As for raw fleas, it seems inevitable that they will not be avoided. Therefore, after buying a cat outside, it is best to take it to the pet hospital for deworming as soon as possible.

……

It's been two weeks since Hanamaki came home.

Nanxing joined an online cat exchange group, which is full of cat people, everyone exchanges with each other about the experience of raising cats, and of course, there are also good things to recommend cats.

It is said that the group owner has seven cats at home, but except for the first one, the others are all stray cats she picked up, and the group owner also participates in the local stray cat rescue association in S City.

In the group, Nanxing learned a lot of useful knowledge about raising cats, and one of the most important things was that Nanxing threw away the pothos at the door.

The reason is that if the cat eats pothos by mistake, it may have adverse reactions such as diarrhea, vomiting, salivation, and difficulty swallowing.

Nanxing plans to raise Hanamaki until he gets old, so naturally he can't leave such a dangerous plant at home. At the same time, other plants that are poisonous to cats, such as azaleas, periwinkles, hydrangeas, ivy, hyacinths, iris, variegated wood, evergreens, lilies, etc., are not recommended to have cat families in the article.

However, the article concludes that if you have to keep these plants, then it is recommended to keep these plants on a closed balcony, or other places where cats can't go, so as not to be poisoned by cats.

Nanxing's place obviously does not have this condition, so there are thousands of green plants, and it is OK to change to another breed that is non-toxic to cats.

In the past two weeks, Nanxing and Hanamaki have gotten along very well, and Hanamaki is very curious about something, but the destructive power is not very great, and he has only broken a glass so far.

In addition, Hanamaki also developed a problem, as long as Nanxing went to the toilet, Hanamaki would definitely squat in the toilet, sometimes Nanxing just closed the door and didn't close it tightly, and after a while, he would see a cat's head squeezed in at the door.

Nanxing initially thought that Hanamaki was something, but later found out that it didn't want to come in either, and it seemed that it just wanted to see Nanxing.

After the cat exchange group asked, the cool breeze of the group members gave the answer.

Cool wind: It may be afraid that you will eat shi.

South Star: ......

There are many people in the group who share their items for cats, as well as cat food and the like. Nanxing also took a look, and at the same time went to the Internet to read the evaluations of many other individuals or institutions.

After Nanxing learned to read the recipe list of cat food, Nanxing was ready to see how his cat food was.

According to professionals, cats have high protein requirements. Therefore, one of the most important indicators in the staple food of cats is the content of crude protein.

Generally speaking, the crude protein content of a good cat food should be more than 25%.

In addition, the ash content of cat food should not be higher than 10%, ash refers to the residue in the food, which is composed of metal particles and toxic microorganisms, which are harmful to cats.

Another ingredient is taurine, taurine is an amino acid that is necessary for cats' daily diet, and has certain benefits for cats' eyes, heart, brain, stomach, immunity, etc., the most obvious of which is the cat's eyes. It is said that if the intake of taurine is insufficient for a long time, the cat's eyesight will deteriorate, and in severe cases, it will also lead to blindness.

However, such an important substance cannot be synthesized in the cat's body, but taurine can be synthesized in the body of mice, so this is why cats in the wild love to catch mice and eat them.

The taurine content in a good cat food is greater than 0.1%.

The cat food that Nanxing is now feeding Hanamaki has a crude protein content that is not low, but the top few in the ingredient list are all grains.

In the past, Nanxing thought that cats were omnivores, but it was only after reading these cat-related content that he realized that his previous opinion was wrong.

Cats are purely carnivorous and do not need to consume too much grain or starch, which Nanxing remembers very well. High grains represent high starch, and high starch will only make the cat's stomach heavier and produce more poop. Therefore, too much grain content will cause damage to the cat's stomach.

The cat food recommended by the owner that Nanxing bought at the pet store was full of wheat, corn, soybeans, and peas. It seems that some plant protein is used to fill the number.

This is also the idea that some manufacturers have come up with, using a small number but many varieties of plants containing protein to increase the crude protein content in cat food, some novice cat owners or people who do not pay much attention to these will be deceived by the high crude protein content, in fact, these are from plants rather than meat.

Looking further down, in fourth place is a thing called what pet feed compound flavoring, Nanxing originally thought that this was like those condiments used by humans to eat, but after checking the information, I found that this thing was actually another name for attractants.

Logically speaking, there is no problem with appropriate additives, but they must be within the standard range and cannot be made from something of unknown composition.

But this cat food does not indicate what the pet feed compound flavoring agent in it is made of, and the content ratio is not there.

Of course, you get what you pay for, Nanxing didn't expect such a cheap cat food to have any too good meat in it, but he didn't expect that even the meat powder was very small, and he actually used a lot of attractants to make cats eat grains, which made Nanxing unbearable.

If it weren't for Nanxing's reading of a lot of cat-related knowledge, I'm afraid that this bag of cat food would have been eaten, and Nanxing might not have found anything. After all, many of the effects of poor quality cat food on cats do not appear all at once, but gradually appear in the growth of cats in the future.

This cat food must be replaced.

On the same day, Nanxing threw away this cat food, but because the newly bought cat food had not yet been delivered, he could only go to the vegetable market to buy some chicken breast, boil it in plain water, tear it into the size that the flower roll can eat, and buy a pack of goat's milk, which can be regarded as adding food to the flower roll.

Why goat's milk? Because most cats and dogs are intolerant to lactose in cow's milk, drinking milk may cause diarrhea due to indigestion. In addition, some cats may be allergic to the protein in milk, resulting in vomiting, diarrhea, skin rashes and other symptoms.

Therefore, Nanxing chose goat milk that will not let cats have these problems, and the nutritional content of goat milk is said to be similar to that of female cats. Fortunately, Nanxing checked the information first and learned all kinds of knowledge, otherwise it is very likely that under unknown circumstances, he would have bought milk to feed the flower rolls.

Although it is not necessary for every cat to have any symptoms, caring people will definitely not use cats for this kind of experiment.

Hanamaki doesn't work when it smells of goat's milk. Meowing loudly all the time, the whole cat is about to evolve into standing upright in order to be able to pull the high position on Nanxing's body.
