Have you ever dreamed of owning a pet? How about taking care of a three-legged cat? If you're serious about caring for a feline companion, you need to be prepared for anything.
Caring for a normal cat is also not as easy as you might think. Accountability comes with tough words, practice, learning, and applying it all to the way you do things. But with a three-legged cat, everything should be done with special caution and attention.
If you know your pet's pet peeves, you can double your efforts to avoid them if you're caring for a three-legged cat.
The Pet's Peeves
More than purring or meowing, you need to be able to identify your cat's body language with its mood. You need to take note of mood swings. What seems simple to you may already be a sign of something more serious. So be aware. And don't be the last to find out.
What things can upset your feline friend? Paying close attention to these kinds of things will make your cat's life happier and more comfortable.
The litter box
Cats have very good eyesight. However, they have a better smell. And they don't like anything that stinks. So watch out for those litter boxes. If you do not maintain them, your pet may opt for the laundry basket which smells much better.
Your cat can smell 14 times better than you. So you really have to put extra effort into the cleaning part. Because what may be good for you may still smell bad for your pet. Does this seem like a lot to you? Think of it this way. You will be doing your home a great service. You will do your part to make the place smell nice and clean for your furry friend.
The Horror Medicine
Cats don't like the taste of most of their medications. But as an owner, you know you can't live without it. So you need to find ways for your cat to take their medication without causing you too much trouble.
Cats do not particularly like medication in the form of tablets or capsules. These drugs can stay in their esophagus for five minutes or more, which can lead to more serious problems. So take this task seriously. Please ask your vet for advice on how to do this.
The food
Be careful when feeding your cats their food. Make sure they don't eat spoiled food. This will cause you a lot of trouble because your cats are sensitive to it.
Petting Styles
You need to be careful how you pet your cat. Being too aggressive or too playful can irritate your cats. You must treat them with care. And you need to know what tricks they like so you can give them exactly that.
Jealousy Attack
If you introduce a new animal or a new member to the house, you must integrate it slowly, even with your cat. Cats tend to get jealous when they get less attention than usual.
Caring for a three-legged cat is easy. You just need to know what to do and what to avoid in order to have a harmonious relationship with your feline friend.
