Now many people are advocating adoption instead of buying, in addition to going to some institutions that rescue stray animals for adoption, stray cats on the street and in the community are also a good choice. However, if you want to take stray cats home, you must first do a good job in epidemic prevention, and carefully measure and assess whether your condition is suitable for raising cats, and then make plans. In addition, we also need to learn a skill, that is, how to distinguish between stray cats and wild cats.
First, the difference in the concept of stray cats
1. Unowned stray cat
It mainly refers to a cat that has no owner and has survived in the wild for a long time. Stray cats refer to cats whose habits are suitable for living with humans, but live in the wild. Cats that used to be foster in the home but have left the family for various reasons and live independently.
2. Grow wild wild cats
Also known as the spotted cat or bobcat, it is a small cat native to Europe, Africa and western Asia. Hunts small mammals, birds, or other small animals of similar size.
In fact, we rarely see wild cats in the city, most of them are stray cats, poor stray cats have to support themselves in the wild, they are not good at hunting, and they are more docile than wild cats, eager to return to human society again.
Second, the habits of stray cats and wild cats
1. Non-social stray cats
Stray cats are domestic cats that wander away from home, not social animals. Although it will be in the wild, it will not cooperate like social animals to round up prey and so on. In addition, because domestic cats have difficulty synthesizing the necessary amino acids from plants, they cannot adapt to vegetarian diets.
2. Nocturnal solitary wildcats
It is generally hunted in the early morning and at dusk. Rodents, insects, birds, and some small mammals are generally eaten. Alone at night or at dusk, during the day in dens or shrubs.
Third, pay attention to the adoption of stray cats outside
1. Characteristics of stray cats
Body hair is dirty because they can't adapt to life in the wild. There is a strong desire to communicate with people and will respond to your call. When you put down the food while feeding it will come over to eat it without waiting for you to go far away.
Stray cats don't walk away immediately after eating food, but will stay with you for a while or even coddle you.
2. The two should be distinguished
For wild cats or stray cats, when you want to take them in, you must distinguish between stray cats, stray cats can be adopted, but wild cats must be freed naturally, and wild cats cannot adapt to human life. There is a big difference between the two, and you must be prepared for adoption.
3. Health examination should be carried out first
Before stray cats are taken home, they should first take the cats to the veterinary hospital for health examinations, after all, they are wandering outside for a period of time, and there may be some parasites and infectious diseases. It is also recommended to isolate for a period of time when taking home.
4. Be mentally prepared
Some stray cats have been wandering outside for a while, so there will be a change in personality, such as less docile, or some bad habits, so it is decided to be mentally prepared before adopting.
Finally, some people may ask, why should we distinguish between these? Even if it's a wildcat, wouldn't it be nice to spend some energy to domesticate them? Here, I want to explain, why do we adopt stray cats? The purpose is to give home to stray cats who are accustomed to living with people, and to fulfill their small desire to keep cats by the way. And those wildcats that are accustomed to surviving in the wild, let it return to nature. In this way, it can also make our adoption behavior more meaningful.
