According to experts, cats appear to be less demanding than dogs in terms of daily care. They do not need to be taken for walks and do not cause destruction when left alone at home. This does not mean that they are completely independent.
Medianews.az reports that it is important to spend regular care, time, and financial resources for cats to stay healthy and happy.
Main areas of care:
Nutrition: Cats are obligate carnivores. Taurine deficiency can cause heart and vision problems.
Coat care: Short-haired cats should be brushed 1–2 times a week, while long-haired ones should be brushed daily.
Claws: Although they sometimes sharpen them themselves, owners should trim them to prevent harm to both the animal and household items.
Toilet: Cats should have a separate litter box at home, which requires daily cleaning.
Entertainment: Without physical and mental activity, cats get bored and can exhibit unpleasant behavior.
Health: Cats live on average 15 years, which means long-term care and expenses.
