FAQ
-
Do you have any tips for getting along with the native cats?Like humans, there are times when it's not right and when it's too late. Cats who become family members later should be kept in cages for a while so that they can get used to the new environment, such as the sounds and smells. Exchanging things with each other's odors is one of the ways to get along. If the indigenous cat becomes interested without being intimidating, give them more time to let them out of the cage. Please see how the early child is on the day, and the child who takes time for a month.
-
Should I use shampoo?I get asked this question a lot, but as you know, cats hate getting wet. In addition to having little body odor, they tend to keep their bodies clean by self-grooming, which is the practice of grooming their entire body. I will answer no. However, there are benefits to shampooing your cat. For example, it is effective in preventing cat allergies. It is known that the allergens that cause cat allergies, substances secreted from the skin and salivary glands of cats, can be greatly reduced by shampooing. However, once the amount of allergens has been reduced, it will return to normal in about two days. Therefore, rather than a fundamental remedy, shampooing together with brushing and cleaning the room as a temporary measure, such as when relatives or acquaintances with cat allergies come to the house, are effective in alleviating symptoms. Also, it is effective to shampoo your dog during periods of hair shedding, such as when a large amount of hair falls out, as this will also prevent hairballs.

I want to give the same food as the native catAt the time of handover, we will give you about a week's supply of the food that we are currently giving at our cattery. Please mix it with the food you are using at home and switch. Food you are currently eating: Ratio of food you want to switch = 1:9 Current food: Food you want to switch = 3:7 Food you are currently eating: Food you want to switch = 5:5 Please migrate little by little like this. Eat or don't eat, kittens are sensitive to change. A sudden change may cause diarrhea. In addition to mixing, it is also effective to put each food in two dishes and arrange them side by side.
-
The indigenous cat has started to be rough other than the toilet. Why?It is due to wariness and stress for newcomers. When you have a younger brother or sister, your siblings get jealous and act like babies... In the same way, if you only love cats who have just become new members of your family, you'll unexpectedly say, "Look at me!" or If you welcome a cat, please pour your love into the native cat more than ever.
-
Do I have to get a microchip?From June 2022, dog and cat dealers (pet shops) and breeders are obliged to sell after wearing them. Therefore, if you adopt a cat born after June 1, 2022, it will already have a microchip. In ordinary households, it is a “duty to make an effort”. If you are considering microchipping, you can reduce the burden on your cat by doing it together with castration/sterilization surgery.

I live indoors, do I need vaccinations?Vaccines are drug solutions that detoxify or attenuate pathogens to prevent infectious diseases. By inoculating your body with a vaccine, you can build immunity against infectious diseases. You can't feel safe just because it's indoors. This is because not only the owner but also visitors, animals in multi-head breeding, shoes and clothing can be infected in any way. You may bring the source of infection into your home by touching an infected animal or stepping on its excrement while you are out. Even if you keep your cat completely indoors, we recommend that you vaccinate it for prevention. Of these, it is recommended that all cats be vaccinated against feline viral rhinotracheitis, feline calicivirus infection, and feline panleukopenia. In most cases, it refers to )”. In addition to being highly contagious, it is also prevalent in many areas, so it is desirable to vaccinate even if you keep them indoors. Others are called "non-core vaccines" and are considered individually depending on the region and lifestyle. In general, it is said that it is desirable to inoculate three or more types of vaccines if there is an opportunity to come into contact with other cats. Talk to your veterinarian about your living environment and that of your cat to ensure that vaccinations are appropriate for that environment.

I want to go outside/take a walkNot recommended. From the perspective of preventing escapes, accidents, illnesses and infectious diseases, please keep them completely indoors. If you really want to let your dog go for a walk, you may need to take an antibody titer test and switch from the triple vaccine to the pentavalent vaccine to prevent illness and infectious diseases. I have heard that there are cases in which people who have been vaccinated with the five-type mixed vaccine without an antibody titer test have developed a disease. If you really want to take him for a walk, please consult your veterinarian.

How often do you brush?For long-haired cats, if the hair that falls out is left on the body as it is, sebum and hair loss may get tangled and form a ball of hair, or self-grooming will eat their own hair and vomit, causing intestinal obstruction. It becomes Please brush your cat frequently and communicate with them. Cats will be less likely to hate it.

Do you need cat grass?It is cat grass that you see at home centers, but it is said that the reason cats eat cat grass is to vomit hairballs and to prevent constipation.

If your dog vomits up hairballs a lot, change his food to one that prevents hairballs.

Tell me about DebesoThere are two types of debeso (umbilical hernia), one with fat inside and the other with protruding internal organs.

It seems that there are many things to do at the timing of contraceptive castration surgery.

What are the pros and cons of having a microchip?The greatest advantage of having a microchip is that it is possible to quickly identify a pet that has been separated from its owner due to a lost child, an earthquake, or an accident. If a pet with a microchip is taken into custody at a veterinary hospital, police station, animal welfare center, etc., it is possible to immediately contact the owner by reading the numbers recorded on the microchip and querying the data. I can. As a disadvantage, some people are concerned about the health damage caused by the electromagnetic waves emitted by the microchip, but according to the Japan Veterinary Medical Association, there is no effect on the body. Since the microchip is covered with highly safe biocompatible glass or polymer, there are no reports of side effects or shock symptoms. If you are worried about the pain when implanting the microchip, there are other methods such as using local anesthesia, so please consult with your veterinarian. (For costs, go to "Questions about fees and money")
