If your pet is sick, you will immediately notice it. This will manifest itself in a lack of appetite, plaintive meow, anxiety, rapid breathing. It is possible that the cat will avoid your attention or be absent-minded and not playful. As soon as the first signs of the disease appear, it is necessary to find out what caused it. It is likely that the cat ate something inappropriate for her or froze during a walk. Only after deciding on the reason, you should take action. To do this, you need to measure the temperature and feel the pulse. But in any case, if you notice some kind of discomfort in your pet, it is best to consult a specialist.
Caution! Poisonous plants for cats.
Some houseplants are poisonous to your pets. Here are some of them:

- English ivy. When eating, there is a burning sensation in the throat and stomach, causing vomiting and diarrhea;
- Caladium. Leads to swelling in the throat and respiratory distress;

However, there are many more types of domestic plants that can cause certain negative reactions in your pet’s body, including death. Therefore, be careful when you let your pet go for a walk.
Why brush cats?
For combing a cat, you can use several types of combs: a mitten brush, a comb with rare and frequent teeth. Brushing promotes blood flow to the hairs and removes unwanted hairs.
Brushing your pet is an essential part of grooming. The cat needs to be brushed periodically depending on the season and how long the coat is. A long-haired cat should be brushed more often, especially in the spring. This must be done so that as little wool as possible is lying around the house, and also so as not to clog the cat’s stomach, because when licking, the cat swallows most of the wool. Since it is practically not excreted from the animal’s body, it gives him discomfort. There are two ways to remove hair from the body of an animal.
Special feeds have been developed to promote natural hair removal, but this is not very beneficial for the animal. However, nature has already taken care of this issue. You have probably noticed more than once that your pet chews on plants in pots, and in the street can chew grass. This is how cats clean their intestines on their own when they need it.
Aggressive behavior.
Cat aggression can manifest itself depending on the character and breed. This can be caused by your sudden movements towards her. Such aggression must be stopped immediately and made clear to your pet that this should not be done.
You can also reward the animal for allowing itself to be stroked and not scratching or biting you. And don’t play with your cat with your bare hands. Like a small child, your pet is not aware that you too may be in pain and sometimes bites until it bleeds. There are special toys for playing with a cat that can be bought at any pet store.

Choosing a name for your pet.
The choice of a nickname for your mustachioed pet must be approached with all responsibility. You’ve probably heard that the name affects the fate of a person. And what if the animals are exactly the same! It is best to keep the name as short as possible so that the cat can easily distinguish it. Long nicknames, consisting of several words, will not give you any benefit, your pet simply will not respond to them. But if you still want to call the cat with a long name, then for the address you need to come up with an abbreviated version. Best of all, cats perceive nicknames containing hissing sounds, the sound “C”, as well as sounds ending in “I”.
So, love your pets and be considerate of them. Cats are very sensitive creatures who understand everything, and in case of illness or other unpleasant moments, only their beloved owner will be able to help them in time.
