Chapter 264: Raising a Cat
Wang Yu hugged the orange cat and returned home with Nangong Lingxi.
When he got home, he first took the orange cat to the bathroom, and then pointed to the toilet and said, "This thing is called a toilet, and it is used to go to the toilet." Forehead...... In your words, it's called going to the toilet! In the face of this, drain the excrement, and then press this, you can flush the water, flush the excrement, understand? ”
Wang Yu said as he demonstrated once and pressed the flush button of the toilet.
Originally, if you want to let your cat go to the toilet at a fixed point, you need to prepare a litter box and cat litter.
Cats need to adapt to a new environment, they will feel anxious or restless, so open defecation is possible.
At this time, it is necessary to induce them to defecate in the litter box.
First of all, you need to put an appropriate amount of cat litter in the litter box, the size of the litter box can be arbitrary, however, if it is a kitten, then the litter box should not be too high.
Then, the shoveler needs to put cat feces or cat urine on the cat litter to familiarize the cat with the smell.
Whenever the cat wants to go to the toilet, put the cat on the litter box of the litter box.
Once the cat poops somewhere else, the shoveler can drag the cat to the toilet where it goes, whip it gently, and carry the cat back to the litter box.
Once the cat learns to go to the toilet in the litter box, the shoveler should give petting and a certain food reward to let the cat form a conditioned reflex.
In addition, cats love to be clean, so the cat litter in the litter box should be replaced once a week.
If the cat at home really can't learn, at this time, you can go to the pet store to buy a stool attractant and put it in the litter box with cat litter.
However, Dandan, the orange cat, is a cat demon after all, and has an IQ close to that of a normal human, which is enough to understand Wang Yu's words.
It is completely achievable to let it go to the toilet on its own, and to finish flushing.
Looking at the sudden burst of water out of the toilet, the orange cat's eyes were full of brilliance, and it felt that this thing seemed to be very fun!
The orange cat Dan Dan jumped out of Wang Yu's arms, and then jumped lightly, jumped into the toilet tank, and then followed Wang Yu's appearance with his hands, fiddling on the switch of the toilet, and then watched the flowing water gushing out from below.
Looking at the inside of the toilet, the fist-sized, crystal clear puddle, Dan Dan jumped off the water tank, jumped onto the toilet seat, and then stretched out his forelimbs and pulled towards the toilet.
When Wang Yu saw it jump down, he felt that something was wrong, and when he saw it reach out to the toilet, he didn't know that this stupid cat actually wanted to drink toilet water, so he quickly hugged it.
Toilet water, that's drinkable?
Toilet water is reclaimed water instead of normal tap water.
The tap water at home needs to meet the "Sanitary Standards for Drinking Water" formulated by the state.
This is not the case with grey water.
The term "reclaimed water" is relative to upper water (water supply) and lower water (drainage).
Reclaimed water reuse technology refers to the centralized treatment of waste (sewage) water, reaching a certain standard, and reusing it for greening irrigation, vehicle washing, road washing, household toilet flushing, etc., so as to achieve the purpose of water conservation.
After the treatment of reclaimed water, it is more used as industrial water, and it is not widely used in domestic water, and the main use is to flush toilets.
Although the treated grey water looks as clear as tap water, it contains various heavy metal elements, as well as microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, which are countless times more than normal tap water.
Tap water still has to be boiled before drinking, let alone reclaimed water.
And the orange cat Dandan, although it is a cat demon, is only level zero, and its physical fitness may be similar to that of an ordinary human, and even, Wang Yu feels that it is no different from an ordinary cat except that it is a little smarter and can transform into a human form.
If you really want to think of it as an ordinary cat, naturally, you don't dare to let it drink the water.
Wang Yu took DanDan out of the bathroom, hugged him to the water dispenser, pressed the switch of the water dispenser with his hand, and then pointed to the flowing water that appeared, and said to Dandan: "The toilet water in the toilet can't be drunk, if you want to drink water, drink it here, press it to get out of the water, it's very convenient." ”
With that, Wang Yu put the ball on the ground and motioned for it to try it for himself.
Dan Dan nodded ignorantly, then straightened up and raised his paws, but the length was not enough to reach the switch of the water dispenser, so he turned his head and said "hey" to Wang Yu aggrievedly.
Wang Yu looked at it like this, touched his chin, then turned around and looked around and found a small bench.
As soon as he placed the little bench in front of the water cooler, the orange cat jumped on it.
This time, it straightened up again, and finally it could reach the water dispenser's switch.
It recalled Wang Yu's action just now, stretched out its claws in a similar way, pressed the switch of the water dispenser, and then leaned over the water flowing from the nozzle, and rolled the water into its mouth with its tongue.
Seeing that the orange cat would use the water dispenser, Wang Yu nodded with satisfaction.
Although, this cat hides a stinky dead mouse like a treasure in the spiritual realm dungeon, but its quality of life must be extremely poor.
Not to mention clean water, I'm afraid I usually go to other people's houses and sneak around to find water to drink.
The water you drink may not be as good as reclaimed water!
But, it's not that I don't have this condition, so there's no need to let the orange cat suffer like that again.
Seeing that the orange cat could skillfully control the water dispenser, Wang Yu no longer cared about it, but walked into the kitchen.
From the kitchen refrigerator, he took out four frozen chicken thighs, and Wang Yu didn't thaw them, so he put them directly into the bowl and put them in the steamer.
After steaming the chicken thighs, Wang Yu began to prepare his own dinner.
His current physical fitness makes his knife skills comparable to that of a chef in a five-star hotel, even if he has not undergone professional training.
A meal of chopping melons and vegetables, plus turning the pot over the spoon, there are three dishes and one soup with meat and vegetables, and it will soon be out of the pot.
After bringing the dishes to the table, taking out the chicken thighs from the steamer and putting them under the table, he called Nangong Lingxi to eat.
At the dinner table, Nangong Lingxi was holding the vegetables on the side, peeking at Wang Yu's footsteps over and over again, seeing it burying its head in two bites from time to time, and looking at the table from time to time, thinking that it wanted to eat the dishes eaten by its own people, so he picked up an oily shrimp and prepared to put it in its bowl.
Wang Yu looked at Nangong Lingxi's movements, quickly grabbed her chopsticks with his chopsticks, and asked angrily, "What are you doing?" ”
"Huh?" Nangong Lingxi was a little overwhelmed by Wang Yu's actions and questioning, hesitated for a while, and said with a little embarrassment: "I think it looks like eating our food, so I thought about clipping it a little." ”
"Cats can't eat human food." Wang Yu explained lightly, then looked down at the orange cat, and said angrily: "I have already bought cat food, and it will arrive tomorrow." Let's eat some chicken thigh mats first! ”
"Human food, the salt content is too high, you can't eat it! Although, I know, the smell of these dishes is quite tempting to you, but you still have to restrain yourself! ”
"Hey." Dan Dan responded, lowered his head and ate the chicken leg in front of him, but he still secretly glanced at the table.
Nangong Lingxi listened to Wang Yu's reprimand, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Huh?" Brother, why can't cats eat human things? The salt content is too high...... However, isn't salt a necessary ingredient that everyone needs? Cats can't live without salt, right? ”
Wang Yu touched his chin, then took out his mobile phone and fiddled with it, and replied: "The standard salt intake for cats is that of adult cats, about 110 mg per kilogram of body weight per day. ”
"Cats themselves, have very little need for salt, and a small amount of the right amount of salt is indeed a must for cats. However, with excessive salt intake, the cat's organs cannot digest these salty foods, and once the excessive intake occurs, it will cause metabolic disorders in cats. ”
"The main reason is that there are no sweat glands on the cat's body surface, and the salt in the body cannot be eliminated, and the salt in the cat's body must be excreted through the kidneys."
"If you eat too salty, it will increase the load on the kidneys, which can lead to kidney failure."
"Moreover, eating food with high salt content for a long time will also affect the cat's hair, dullness, and even a lot of hair loss, which is very bad for the cat's health."
"Professional cat food and other foods are developed according to the special needs of the cat's body, and the salt content in these foods is reasonable, so it is suitable for cats."
"Like some cat snacks, it may be slightly exceeded, when feeding, it is best to look at the sodium content in the nutrition facts list."
Nangong Lingxi watched Wang Yu read to the screen of his mobile phone, and knew that these words must have been found by him from the Internet.
She rolled her eyes in her heart, and said, "Brother, what you said is for ordinary cats, it's a cat demon!" ”
"Hey!" Dandan also called out at the right time, as if to say, I'm a cat demon, master, don't underestimate me.
But Wang Yu just glanced at Nangong Lingxi, and said angrily: "That's it?" As for the cat demon, in addition to being able to transform, it doesn't feel much better than ordinary cats! ”
"And, look at it, it's skinny, it's skinny and bone-like, how does it look like an orange cat? It's better than a raccoon cat! ”
"Let's raise it as an ordinary cat now, and later, it will show what a monster should be!"
