Cats
If we want cats to grow, there are corresponding methods and methods for us to do. Cats generally reach sexual maturity within 8 months. Mature, but we suggest that it is best not to mate a cat when it is in heat, because the cat is not mature at this time, physically and mentally, and there are many things that need to be paid attention to in the growth of cats. We hope that parents will pay attention. Some.
There are many breeds of cats, and the ages at which cats first go into estrus are also different. Thai cats and other exotic cats generally have their first estrus at 5 months of age or earlier, and most of the others are in estrus at 7 months of age. Male cats become sexually mature later than female cats, and enter the sexual maturity stage at about 7 to 12 months of age. Each does not mature until it is 2 years old.
Female cats go into estrus 3 to 4 times a year, especially in spring, they will go into estrus once every 3 to 4 weeks, and they will go into estrus repeatedly. The duration of estrus varies depending on the breed of cat, generally ranging from 3 to 15 days.
Generally, the breeding activity of cats reaches its climax in spring and dwindles in summer. Autumn is also the season of estrus, but it is not as active as in spring. Usually there is no estrus from October to December. The symptoms of a female cat in estrus include: she is more gentle than usual, has a loss of appetite, increases the frequency of urination, likes to be caressed by her owner, and rubs her abdomen close to the ground, etc. Male cats in the breeding season are more sensitive and do not like their owners to get close to them. Their appetite is reduced and their urination locations are not fixed. At this time, the male cats can hear the female cat's cries or smell the female cat's breath from a long distance. Once a female cat in estrus is found, it will wander around the female cat, scream and urinate, stimulating the female cat to mate. This phenomenon can often be seen or heard on spring evenings, and is often called "cat making" as the saying goes.
In order to protect the next generation of good breeds, strong individual development and the health of the female cat, pay attention to the following issues when breeding:
1. If it is a purebred cat, you should choose a breeder of the same breed. Matching
2. Male and female cats are strong and strong
3. Both male and female cats are sexually mature
4. Small female cats should not be paired with Mating with large male cats.
In the third week of pregnancy, the female cat’s breasts become red and the hair around them is sparse. This situation is not obvious for female cats who are pregnant for the first time. At 4 to 5 weeks of pregnancy, you can feel the fetus with your hands. The touch should be gentle, otherwise it will easily lead the female cat to miscarry. Two weeks before giving birth, the female cat is worried and often looks for a safe place to den in preparation for giving birth. The owner should prepare a birthing box of suitable size, which can be made from a wooden box or a cardboard box. The farrowing box should be placed in a quiet, warm and dry placeYes, the temperature cannot be lower than 22℃.
Before the female cat is about to give birth, parents should prepare the items that may be needed. For example, a warm and spacious litter, clean towels, a sleeping mat big enough for the mother cat and her kittens to rest, scissors, a clean basin, etc. And it must be disinfected before the cat is given birth to ensure that it can be used when the cat gives birth. Note that you should also keep the veterinarian’s phone number. When the cat finds it difficult to give birth and is in danger of giving birth, you must contact the veterinarian immediately for help.
When the pet cat is giving birth, you only need to observe it quietly on the side. Do not panic and move to stimulate the giving birth to the female cat. When the cat is giving birth to the next few kittens, if there is no physical strength, you may try to give the cat some nutritious soup. Of course, at this time, the parents will also help the cat tear open the fetal membranes wrapping the kittens. Use a hot towel with a suitable temperature to wipe the kitten's muzzle, face and body. And also help the kitten cut off its umbilical cord, and help the mother cat successfully consume.
Cats are relatively fragile and sensitive, not just often, but even more so when giving birth to babies. Cats will have protective feelings when giving birth. It is best not to pick up kittens easily, as the female cat will To protect my emotions, I would do some resistance to avoid being scratched by the cat.
