Recently, Sohu newspaper published an article about a mother cat who expressed an amazing attitude when she heard that the owner wanted to take her baby away. It is known that the story once “covered” the media of countries in 2018, but so far, Chinese netizens have suddenly shared it again, writes kenhthoisu
Accordingly, the Asiatic cat was born and raised in an animal loving house in China. Although not living in luxury, the owner does not let the “boss” lack anything. It is an important member of the family.
It is known that when Tieu A was pregnant, everyone was very happy and eager to welcome the birth of beautiful angels. However, the pregnant mother gave birth to only one child. Therefore, the kitten immediately became the family’s treasure.
The owner said that since becoming a “milky mother”, Tieu A’s temperament is much calmer. She is no longer playful and roaming around like before, but stays at home all day to take care of the little cat. Mother and daughter are inseparable, sometimes making everyone jealous.
One day, the owner had a friend to visit, the woman “hit the thunder of love” when she saw the kitten for the first time and asked for it to be adopted. Although the mistress had no such intention, “sen” wanted to poke Tieu A once. The girl immediately pretended to agree, and was about to come and give the baby to her friend.
When Tieu A heard that, she quickly rushed to the nest, she quickly hugged her beloved son in her lap. Moreover, a series of expressions of “milky mother” made everyone laugh. From sadness, anger, to resolute eyes like to declare: “Don’t touch my baby, take it away and go to work immediately!”
Feeling the bullet-shaped eyes constantly moving towards her, the owner finally laughed and explained to Tieu A that she was only joking. At that time, the mother cat refused to let go of the defense. However, it still hugged the kitten tightly, determined not to let go.
The above images, after being circulated by the online community, caused a stir in public opinion. Everyone laughed at Xiaoya’s cute action. At the same time, they were very touched with the affection that “milk mother” has for the kittens.
Referring to the sacred motherhood, we cannot forget the story of a homeless cat who asked her chicken friend to take care of her cubs. Specifically, at a small farm in China, the owner recently discovered that a “pregnant cat” regularly visited.
6 Most Common Cat Health Problems
Cats are good at self-maintenance. But even your fastidious feline can't prevent some of these more common cat diseases and health issues.
1. Vomiting
Vomiting is a very common problem with cats with a multitude of causes. They range from eating something poisonous or inedible (like string), to infection, urinary tract disease, or diabetes to hairballs.
Symptoms are usually obvious, and include drooling and abdominal heaving. Vomiting can quickly leave your cat dehydrated, so if kitty continues vomiting or acts ill, call your vet right away. It may help to collect a sample of your cat's vomit and take it with you to the vet.
2. Feline Lower Urinary Tract Diseases (FLUTD)
Some estimates say as many as 3% of cats seen by vets have feline lower urinary tract disease ( FLUTD), which is actually a group of feline diseases with multiple causes.
Female and male cats can get FLUTD, and it often occurs in cats that are overweight or unfit or who eat dry food. Stress, a multi-cat household, and sudden changes can all raise a cat's risk of FLUTD, and treatment depends on the type of FLUTD your cat has.
FLUTD symptoms include:
- Straining to urinate
- Bloody urine
- Urinating in unusual places
- Crying when urinating
- Licking around the urinary area (often because of pain)
- Depression
- Dehydration
- Lack of appetite
- Vomiting
It's always an emergency if your cat can't urinate. Call your vet immediately if you suspect your cat has a urinary tract problem.
3. Fleas
Fleas are a very common external feline health problem. But it's one you can easily treat. Signs your cat has fleas include:
- Flea dirt on its skin (they look like tiny black dots)
- Constant scratching
- Frequent licking
- Red or irritated skin
- Hair loss
- Skin infections or hot spots
Fleas can live for more than a year, and your cat risks anemia if the problem becomes serious, so be sure to treat your cat's flea problem and prevent future infestations.
Talk to your vet about which flea control would be best for your cat. Treatments include oral medication, powders, foams, and topical medication. Fleas are uncommon in Utah. If you adopt a pet from a region outside of Utah or are housing a pet that recently came from another state, please be aware of fleas.
4. Tapeworms
One of the most common feline health problems inside your cat, tapeworms live in kitty's small intestine and sometimes grow as long as 2 feet.
Symptoms of a tapeworm infection can be subtle but may include vomiting and weight loss. The easiest way to tell if your cat has tapeworms is to look at its feces and around its anus. If you see small white worms or what look like grains of rice or sesame seeds, your cat likely has tapeworms.
Treatment options include injection, oral, or topical medication. But because cats almost always get tapeworms as a result of swallowing a flea, be sure to handle any flea problems your cat has before tackling tapeworms.
5. Diarrhea
Many things can cause diarrhea in cats, including spoiled food, allergies, infection, liver disease, cancer, and more.
Symptoms of diarrhea are loose, watery, or liquid stool. Depending on its cause, diarrhea can last for a day, a week, or months.
If your cat has diarrhea, offer kitty plenty of fresh, clean water to prevent dehydration. Then remove kitty's food for no more than 12 to 24 hours. Take your cat to the vet if he or she still has diarrhea after a day or immediately if you notice vomiting, dark, or bloody stools, fever, lethargy, or loss of appetite or if your cat is straining to defecate.
6. Eye Problems
Eye problems in cats can be caused by a number of things, including conjunctivitis, cataracts, glaucoma, trauma, viruses, inflammation, and retinal disease.
A few symptoms that may mean your cat has eye problems include watery eyes, tear-stained fur, cloudiness, red or white eyelid linings, gunk in the corners of the eye, squinting, pawing at the eye, or a visible third eyelid.
Unless you know what's causing your cat's eye problems, there isn't much you can do other than wipe away any gunk with a damp cotton ball. After that, call your vet.
