Troubles of cat owners: I don’t plan to take my cat home during this Spring Festival. Where are you?

The Spring Festival is a very festive traditional festival, but for those who raise pets in the city, this will be a very troublesome thing, because cats also have to celebrate the Spring Festival and it also needs company. The distant journey has caused many friends who want to take their cats home to give up this idea that they shouldn't have. Even if I found the best way to resettle it, that is, to send the cat to a "pet clinic for foster care", I still feel a little guilty...

packed my luggage and took the cat home

The Spring Festival is approaching again. Last year, I only had one cat because I was afraid that the cat owner had no place to resettle it, so I took it home. The luggage of large and small bags includes cat litter box, cat food, cat litter, cat carrying case... I don’t dare to bring one more piece of my luggage. I don’t have a car yet, so I can only call a taxi online. I spent dozens of yuan to thank you for the extra thank you. I found a Didi hitchhiker that I didn’t like to bring my cat on the car and went back. Fortunately, the journey was not too far, and I came back in more than two hours.

Family family needs to accept cats

Take pets home, and family needs to accept them. Many cat shovelers who are away from home rely on their own preferences to raise cats and have not communicated with their families in advance, so taking the cat home is also a headache. But I am lucky. My mother was also very opposed to taking the cat home at first, but later it surprised me. She changed from "cats are prone to shedding hair and difficult to clean" to "the cat looks so beautiful", and it took less than a day...

Cats need to adapt to the new environment

Cats have a high demand for the environment. If they take the cat home, then they have to start adapting to the new environment. When they meet a cat master with extremely poor adaptability, there will be enough headaches for you. Last year, my cats were basically hiding under the bed and only dared to come out for a walk at night. Maybe it was because the family was a little noisy, the cat couldn't adapt to the new environment quickly, and he ate very little food... The master of the cat can be said to have spent the Spring Festival repeatedly hiding, hiding from one bed to another.

I have two cats this year

Yes, this year is different from last year, this year I have two cats. Moreover, the cats get along very well. As long as they leave enough food for them, even if I go out for a few days, I will not be afraid that they will be lonely... So, this year, I plan to leave them all here. Instead of letting them be scared because of the changing environment, it is better to let them stay happily.

Arrangements for taking care of cats during the Spring Festival

In order to take care of cats, I will travel back and forth more during this year's Spring Festival, and ensure that I will leave the cats within 3 to 4 days. By the way, I will shovel the cats, change the water, add food, and accompany them... As a shoveler, I should be very lucky. My home is not far away, and I can take care of it with just a little thought. I had thought about sending it directly to a pet shop for foster care before, but after thinking about it, there was still no need to make the cats live in the Spring Festival because of the unfamiliar environment.
