Care of the claws is probably the most practiced by individuals, and for good reason : it is more of a comfort than that of the master cat. Indeed, it maintains its talons to a length that seems acceptable by using the trimming or wearing a scraper. The problem is that some tomcats are more appropriate to check the sharpness of the blades on the fabric of the sofa or in the depth of carpet ... In addition, nervous cats, wild or cowards can often scratch their environment in a start a little brutal, a burst or wanting push the hand that coaxes . To " cut corners ", the acquisition of a nail clipper is essential : while the classic nail clippers weakens the tip, which tends to crumble under his grasp , the nail clipper has a uniform pressure and gives a neat and clean result. Of course there are the instrument in veterinary practices . Just gently press each pad to bring out the nail and then cut the end. Be careful to hold the wing in the light during operation to identify transparency by the vascularized area , more opaque in the heart of the brand : do not cut course , under penalty of pain to the animal and of heavy bleeding .

Keep an eye on

Care face require great delicacy. The eyes of cats are naturally very sensitive. If they have a flow , better consult : it can be a symptom of a disease.

There are also proposed in veterinary practices specific cleaning solutions . Once the cotton soaked , just gently move without pressing on the affected area until take off impurities .

Hard of hearing ?

Your mistigri regained his sharp eye of predator ? It is time to take care of his ears. They are home to many parasites : chiggers , moths and especially ear mites are conventional sources of infection , especially if the cat has access to the outside. Regular cleaning will reduce the risk of ear infections and help to identify early onset of a bad smell , which may signal the beginning of a scab. Within easy maintenance , simply wipe gently inside the ear with a cotton and a dedicated lotion, then make a few drops in the ear and wipe the excess after a few moments, once the animal has snorts . Needless to repeat the operation too often : once or twice a month is enough . In the case of medical care , these are generally in the form of a long tube with a flexible tip . Must drag it into the ear canal to remove the ointment : the operation is not pleasant , but the shape of the duct prevents injury to the animal .

Keep niaque

Are only teeth! But then the interview is not anecdotal : in cats , tartar can trigger extremely painful gingivitis , infections , abscesses and even heart failure !

In this case , it will subject themselves to regular monitoring if dark spots appear on the teeth or dark red line delineates the gums , better access, and possibly to descale . The intervention is light but requires light anesthesia : a very weak sacrifice to keep all his teeth !
