1. How much does a Chinese Li Hua cat cost in 2019

Although the Chinese Li Hua cat was once called a native cat, with the rise of the pet-keeping trend, the breeding of purebred Chinese Li Hua cats has also gotten on track, and the market price is generally between 2000 and 5000 yuan. However, because the Li Hua cat is a relatively common breed, and most stray cats are basically of this breed, if you are keeping a pet as an individual rather than for large-scale breeding, taking in a stray cat is more cost-effective.

1. Raising kittens

Kittens under 4 weeks of age need to drink milk. When there is not enough milk or no milk to feed the kitten, special pet milk powder can be given, and when it is a little older, some rice flour can be added to the milk powder. If cow's milk is given directly, it may cause diarrhea, because kittens cannot digest cow's milk well.

After 4 weeks, kittens can eat cat food with warm water as a supplement, and by the 10th week they can eat dry cat food directly with no problem, and can be allowed to eat freely, as long as clean drinking water is provided. When raising them, pay attention to small frequent meals, feeding at fixed times, in fixed amounts, and at fixed places.

Kittens around 2 months old should be fed 5 to 6 times a day, those over 3 months old need to be fed about 4 times a day, generally at 9 a.m., 12 noon, 6 p.m. and 10 p.m., and kittens 3 to 6 months old should be fed 3 times a day. After 6 months, feed twice a day; at this time it is best to use all dry cat food, which is more beneficial for the development of the kitten's teeth and gums.

2. Raising adult cats

Cats over 12 months old have entered the adult stage, and at this time they need complete and balanced nutrition, which can both maintain the cat's best health and prevent it from aging too quickly. As cats gradually grow older, problems begin to appear with their metabolism, kidneys and eyes, so adult cats over 7 years old should be fed foods that are as low in fat and low in energy as possible, and the content of magnesium and phosphorus should also be reduced to maintain the health of the urinary system and kidneys. In addition, foods containing fiber and easy to digest should also be fed as much as possible, which can ensure gastrointestinal health.
