you break your cat heart by doing this Stoop

 My East Coast friend called me this morning to tell me she had adopted a kitten. She had never owned a pet before, of course she was a little nervous about what she had just received. Here is our interview:

"Now that you work in human society, you're like  an expert on dogs and cats, aren't you?" he said, not wasting time on unnecessary compliments like, "Hi! How are you?"

Gawd I love the east coast.

"I think you can say I know something or something." I replied with a laugh.

"Okay, so I just adopted this kitten and I need to know everything you know about how to breed cats," she said honestly. "Ah, and I said hello to him."

"Did you call your kitten Hello?" I asked, not sure if I had heard him well.

"Yes, it's a kitten and her name is Hello." he replied, "Do you have it? Hello dear?"

I laughed. That's the craziest name you can call a cat, or it's brilliant. "I said," I can't judge.

"He's a genius." confirmed. We learned a few basics and before entering, of course, she did her homework about cats and feline behavior. He even taught me one or two things. He's one of the most typical personalities you'll ever meet, so I think there's a table somewhere he likes to manage his new life with Hello.

He started sending me quick questions about everything from feeding to how much time he needed to play each day for planning.

Now, thanks to my Type A girlfriend and her new kitten Hi, I have a great idea for my column this week! If nothing else, here are 10 things you should not do with your cat:

You don't force the attention of cats. Although cats enjoy human attention, they prefer it in smaller doses than dogs and according to their own conditions. You must respect this basic need of your cat friends and not force them to pay attention when they limit themselves against their will.

Do not bring plants into your home until you have checked that they are safe for cats.

Lilies, which are often found in flower bouquets, are highly toxic to cats, and consuming any part of the plant can lead to kidney failure and death. In fact, lilies are so toxic to cats that even sucking water from a vase containing it can cause kidney damage. For a more complete list of plants that are toxic to cats, visit ASPCA's Animal Poison Control Center.

Don't let your cat play with poison or poison.

Burglary of poison or poison can cause what veterinarians call a linear foreign body. The intestines contract and contract as they try to transfer the toxin. This will result in the death of parts of the intestine that need to be removed surgically. Toys that have been shown to be safe for cats are a better choice for cat entertainment. Check with your veterinarian if you are not sure if your pet's toys are suitable.

Don't teach cats to "play by hand".

Whether it's a laser pointer or a light cord, cats like to bump into objects that move in their path.

During the game, however, owners must avoid using their own hands as bait. This is because cats are strong in hunting and hunting. When people teach their cats that their hands are worth looking for, the result is often bad and can be dangerous for both humans and cats. A better way to play with a cat is to use a living object (usually a toy) as a snack.

Never punish your cat, even if you plan to tap her ass or use a loud voice.

Dog owners who have long adopted a cat for the first time may be shocked to find that training a cat to behave is not as easy as their cat fist.

Direct reprimand of your cat can have unintended consequences. Cats are very sensitive to loud noises and loud noises that intimidate them. They will consider the person making these sounds a threat and begin to prevent it.

Avoid feeding your cat dry food.

Cats are adapted to survive in an arid environment and get all the water out of food when given the right food. And because cats do not drink as much water as they are thirsty, it is even more important to keep them hydrated with food. Even cats that seem to drink a lot of water do not drink enough. Chronic dehydration often leads to tooth decay, bladder stones and urinary tract infections. Many health problems can be prevented simply by adding a daily amount of moist food to your cat's diet.

Do not feed your cat "for free".

"Free feeding" means that you let food feed your cat whenever he wants. The problem is that it often leads to obesity. Make sure you provide only the right amount of solid foods and wet foods recommended by your veterinarian to avoid weight problems.

If your schedule does not allow you to return home for regular feeding, you may want to consider purchasing an automatic pet dispenser that will dispense a pre-portioned amount of dry food at regular intervals throughout the day.

Don't give your cat milk.

Cats probably like the sweetness of milk, but it is important to avoid spoiling them with things on a plate. Most cats do not actually tolerate lactose, so giving cow's milk can cause many health problems.

Do not give your cat animal bones to chew or eat.

Unlike what is often depicted in cartoons, domestic cats have no problem chewing fish skeletons or animal bones.

Chicken bones in particular are very dangerous because they can break a cat's throat, stomach or intestines.

Do not leave your cat alone for more than 24 hours. Many people choose to adopt cats instead of dogs because they feel that cats are basically taking care of themselves. But even though cats are often more independent than dogs, they are not alone.

If you are unable to bring a friend or relative to the cradle in your area during your absence, it is usually possible to arrange the entire evening management or scheduled playing times with a qualified animal watchdog.
