What do you need to prepare for living with cats and dogs?
Many people want to get a dog after they get a cat, or they want to get a cat after they get a dog. The first concern is not whether TA can get along well with each other, but what should be prepared.
1 Daily necessities
Before welcoming another "little friend", the shoveling officer only prepared the daily necessities of cats (or dogs), such as cat food, cat nest, cat litter, cat toilet and so on. But if you want your dog to be happy, you have to prepare the same daily necessities for TA in advance, after all, TA's living habits are different.
Shovel shit officer to be psychologically prepared.
Because cats and dogs do not speak the same language and express their feelings in different ways, there will inevitably be a lot of misunderstandings between them, which will lead to fighting. For example, when a cat raises its tail at you, it means that he or she is being friendly. For a dog, it means that he or she is being friendly. When a cat raises its tail, it means that he or she is being hostile to you. And when a cat expresses his or her kindness by making a comfortable "grunt" sound, but for a dog, it is a threatening sound, equivalent to "don't mess with me, or I will bite you".
Dogs are naturally lively and gregarious, while cats are loners. So sometimes, the dog just wants to be friendly, runs over to try to be nice to the cat, simply circles around the cat twice, and in the cat's opinion, this fellow dares to come over and provoke, scratches the dog's nose with one paw, and another inevitable bite.
What should we pay attention to when cats and dogs live together?
Cats and dogs have different living habits, so in order to ensure the safety of the family, what should the shoveling officer pay attention to when raising cats and dogs?
1 Separate diet
Shovel shit officer must not let cats and dogs eat together, in the diet should be separated. Cats and dogs eat foods with different nutrients. In addition, cats are more picky eaters, while dogs are more protective of food, so cats' food can be destroyed by dogs in one bite. In the long run, cats will hate dogs.
Give the cat enough sense of security.
When cats and dogs live together, the shoveling officer should reserve a place for cats that dogs can't touch. Make the cat feel safe and play with the dog when the cat wants to. Cats like to be quiet. If you want to be quiet, you have to have a quiet place for him to cultivate his moral character.
The master should not be partial.
Since you have chosen to keep cats and dogs at the same time, you can't have a preference for one party, otherwise it will lead to dissatisfaction with the other party, which will aggravate the bloodshed.
How to make TA live in harmony?
In fact, cats and dogs do not have any deep hatred, as long as the owner handles it properly, the two can still live in harmony.
Choose gentle cats and dogs.
If you want cats and dogs to get along well with each other, you'd better choose those breeds that are more docile and tolerant of other creatures. Dogs and cats, such as Ragdoll, British breeders, golden retrievers and Alaskans, can get along well with other animals, but some dogs and cats are not naturally suitable for being kept together in the same environment.
Have their own range of activities.
Both cats and dogs have a sense of territory, and unless they grow up together, they will hate the latter side. Although cats and dogs usually play together, they also need an undisturbed space of their own.
Give TA time to adapt.
When the shoveling officer brings another little friend home, they may be hostile to each other, so don't let them stay together compulsorily. Can let TA separate, and so on 3-4 days later, shoveling shit officer to introduce each other, let TA familiar with each other's smell, and then play happily together!
