When it comes to choosing cats, many people often feel unable to start.
But don't worry, today I will reveal the secrets of cat-picking passed down by our ancestors. These methods have been tested by time and can help you identify the most outstanding baby from a group of kittens.
Follow these few moves and you will hardly make mistakes!
1. [Reflecting the color of the hair]
The ancients said: "The whole body is pure white and the black feet are alone", "the body is white and the head is black with black flowers and tail", "pure white but only black tail". Although these descriptions are simple, they contain the wisdom of choosing the best cat.
Cats with these characteristics are often highly capable of hunting and can drive away pests from your homeland.
2. [Focus on the inner lines of the mouth]
The horizontal lines on the inside of the cat's mouth are said to have more lines, the stronger its hunting ability. As the old saying goes:
"If you say that there are nine knots in your mouth, you can catch mice in all seasons." Such cats were very popular in farmhouses in ancient times because they could protect the granary and prevent rats from suffering from disasters.
3.【Touch the cat's claws】
Gently stroke the kitten's claws with your hands. If you feel that your claws are big and powerful, it means that the kitten has a superior physique and will definitely be strong and powerful when you grow up.
More importantly, if it lets you touch its claws without scratching you with it, it means it is gentle and friendly to humans.
4. [Get the back of the neck lightly]
Try to gently hold the back of the kitten and observe its reaction.
If the kitten has a tight body and a arched back, it means that it has a strong resistance mentality and may not be easy to domesticate in the future.
On the contrary, if it relaxes the body, it usually means that it is gentle and easy to get along with.
5. [Test Response]
Healthy Kittens are sensitive and quick. When choosing, if you are not sure about its status, you might as well test its response.
Teat it with food or toys, and if it shows positive response, it is undoubtedly healthy and lively.
6. [Add to the appearance carefully]
Carefully look at the appearance of the kitten. If it looks clean and tidy, and there are no foreign objects in the eyes and ears, then it is likely to be healthy.
On the contrary, if it is dirty and inactive, it is likely to be sick. It is recommended that you choose carefully.
If you choose your favorite kitten according to the above method, be sure to take good care of it. For kittens who just arrived at their new home, they may be naughty and sometimes even break up their homes.
As a master, you need to guide them correctly so that they understand the right or wrong of their behavior. If they make mistakes, proper punishment is necessary; and when they act, timely rewards are equally important.
When choosing cats, everyone has their own unique way. Now it’s your turn, share your secrets to picking cats!
