The first is to prevent common infectious diseases, such as feline distemper , feline herpes virus (feline rhinocele) and feline calicivirus. These viruses are not only widely distributed, but also highly virulent, lethal, and highly contagious. Only regular immunization can protect cats from threats; China is an endemic area for rabies , and it is recommended that cats be injected with rabies vaccine .
The second is to prevent parasites, such as external parasites such as fleas , ticks, ear mites , and roundworms , hookworms , tapeworms, heartworms and other internal parasites. Many parasites are zoonotic, so regular deworming is important for both us and our cats.
The third is the daily maintenance and health care of cats, including physical examination, behavior, nutrition, oral cavity, joint and fur care, etc.
