When it comes to being a good pet owner to your cat, everything seems easy - you are supposed to feed your cat and clean its litter box regularly.
Meanwhile, lots of pet owners don't realize that they make some mistakes that can potentially harm their fluffy friend.
Here are a few things you should never do to your pet to keep it happy and healthy.
Cats don't understand shouting and it can make them scared or anxious.
Use calm and gentle communication instead.
Avoid pulling your cat's tail or ears, as it can cause them pain and distress.
Treat their body parts with care.
Never force your cat into uncomfortable situations, like tight spaces or interactions with unfamiliar people or animals.
Respect their boundaries and let them feel safe.
Never withhold food or water from your cat.
They need regular meals and access to fresh water for their well-being.
Don't neglect your cat's health.
Regular veterinary check-ups, vaccinations, and proper grooming are crucial for their well-being.
Avoid using harsh or harmful products on your cat.
Some human products, like toxic cleaning chemicals or medications, can be dangerous for them.
Never leave them in a hot car
Avoid leaving your cat alone in a hot car.
Cars can heat up rapidly, which can lead to heatstroke or even death. Keep them out of hot vehicles.
Don't overfeed your cat, as it can lead to obesity and health issues.
Follow your veterinarian's advice on proper portion sizes for their diet.
