Today I want to have a confession with you. In fact, beauty, skin care is not my true love. My only love in my life is actually my kitten.
It is very magical to raise a cat. In fact, I was not prepared to keep a pet before I actually raised a cat. But things in the world are so wonderful. One day I passed by the street 8 years ago, I fell in love with the Mimi on the roadside at a glance, and took it home that night.
But it was because of my unpreparedness that I really stepped on a lot of pitfalls when I first kept a pet.
And I often spend more money in the places where I need to spend money, and I don’t realize it! So I would like to share with you the “detours” I have taken so that everyone can take me as a warning, and you should be more colorful and save money!
The cat nests of different shapes in this province are first of all, colorful cat nests that are very common in some orange software. As a long-term cat owner, you really don't need to.
The price is expensive. It is also very difficult to maintain this type of cat nest. If it is not cleaned in time, it will easily breed insect eggs and bacteria. Even if cats can accept sleeping in such cat nests, it is difficult to say about hygiene problems.
Let's change our thinking and replace it with a high-quality and low-priced express box.
Anyone with cats at home knows that cardboard boxes are really a paradise for kittens. If you throw them on the ground, a cat will definitely grow. If you can dig a few holes on it, it can also replace cat toys that are dozens of times larger.
Moreover, this kind of express delivery box is cheap and can be changed and renewed without having to worry about it. The owner and the cat win-win!
Transparent cat bag
I hate the transparent cat bag product very much. It can even be said to be the "natural enemy" of some socially terrifying cats.
Cats themselves are very stress-prone animals, and this fully transparent cat bag will make the cat feel very insecure.
And because most of this cat bag is made of plastic material with better sealing, in summer, you use this to take your cat out, the temperature inside the cat bag gradually rises, and it is very hot to touch it from the outside. Not to mention the kitten covered in fur, it is like an alchemy furnace!
My suggestion is to use this large and sturdy airbox, which is very ventilated and durable.
Cat ice pads
Since I found that the price of pet ice pads has increased to 40 or 50 years, I have given up on buying them. It's too expensive. My summer mat costs 40 yuan, not to mention that I have to save money to turn on the air conditioner for my cat.
I choose the most simple method, the stainless steel large iron basin solves all problems.
This kind of iron basin is not only loved by cats in summer, but only costs seven or eight yuan apiece, but is also very easy to clean. Apart from taking up a bit of space, there are really no other disadvantages.
The flower Part
Pet Insurance
The life of ordinary workers is to spend money on the edge. The above lists some stingy things that save money, but there are also parts that cannot be stingy about keeping pets, such as pet insurance.
Because cats don't have medical insurance like us, it's really expensive to see a doctor once. And pet insurance can help us cover part of our medical expenses. Especially for my cat, I am eight or nine years old, and I have some minor problems at all times to go to the hospital, so don’t save money on insurance.
I do not recommend specific insurance products here. You just need to choose the right one within your ability. Generally speaking, pet insurance can be reimbursed 40%-60% of the amount except for the exemption amount. I have always searched for orders on Alipay, because the reimbursement process is more convenient for pet insurance. As long as you keep photos, cases and invoices, you can reimburse all basic problems.
But please pay attention. Some insurances have reimbursement restrictions on genetic diseases that cats are born with. Do more homework when placing an order!
Cat Food
I think there is another part that cannot save money when raising pets, which is cat food. After all, this is a key factor that can determine the health of breasts, internal organs and the whole body, so you must not feel sorry for money in this regard.
Low-quality cat food also brings many health risks, such as causing cats to develop poorly and have unbalanced nutrition, resulting in cats not even shining in hair. In severe cases, excessive hair loss will occur, and the whole cat looks sick.
Of course, I don’t want everyone to blindly buy sky-high cat food. We never consume in order to pursue absolute low prices and high prices, but to choose good products that are truly cost-effective.
For example, this cat food that my cat has eaten for more than half a year - Suligao fresh meat and hairy cat food. This is a cat food that has excellent ingredients, cost-effectiveness and palatability. It protects my kitten from hair to legs~
Suligao This brand can be said to be a household name among cat shovelers. As a pet brand from the United States, it has a history of pet food research and development for decades. It has not only obtained industry standard certification in the United States, but also passed China's pet industry standard certification. Only a safe and secure brand like this can pay tribute to the cat owners with confidence.
Although beautiful hair is the highlight of this cat food, it can be seen that it has also carefully considered the nutritional intake of hairy children. The raw materials used in fresh meat and hairy cat food are 100% imported fresh meat - wild salmon + free-range turkey on American farms.
Wild salmon contains up to 81% unsaturated fatty acids, and unsaturated fatty acids can not only nourish hair follicles, make hair stronger and healthier, and not easily fall off. They are also more beneficial to the cardiovascular system of hairy children and are not likely to cause obesity problems!
There are also large turkeys that are free-range on the farm and are also farmed in a pure and pollution-free environment, and are rich in methionine.. This is an important substance composed of hair. Only by supplementing protein rich in methionine can the hairy children's hair become stronger and radiate oily and shiny! With such high-quality nutrient intake, even kittens who don’t like fish oil are lucky~
In addition, the protein content of this cat food is measured to be 40%, and the digestibility is as high as 90%. It is simply understood that even if the protein content is relatively high, it is very easy to absorb, so you don’t have to worry about your master’s constipation! (*Scientific reference indicators: The protein content of dogs and cats should be between 34 and 42%, and the digestibility rate should not be less than 87%)
Moreover, the high vegetarian food is different from those cat food that can only pile up gorgeous ingredients. It even takes into account the ratio of each nutrient in cat food. Just like Omega6 and Omega3, two nutrients that are very important for cats, the higher the agreement, the ratio must be between 5 and 3:1 to allow the breasts to absorb better! Omega6 and Omega3 in fresh and beautiful cat food have reached a golden ratio, which is more beneficial to the health of cats' hair, can improve the "hair loss" state everywhere, and are full and strong!
And Suligao holds the 56-day feeding report of the cat from China Agricultural University. According to experimental evidence, it can really improve the cat food that babies lose!
This cat food has good palatability. My master is a tricky mouth and doesn't even want to taste it if you freeze it. But this cat food is delicious! Sure enough, the charm of big turkey and salmon is not something that a kitten can resist!
My master has eaten Suligao fresh meat and hairy cat food for a while. Every friend who sees my cat will sigh, your cat feels great to touch, smooth and bright.
In addition to seasonal hair loss, my cat has never had excessive hair removal. Its hair is fluffy and vigorous, and its body is also very healthy, not inferior to breed cats~
Although this cat food formula and endorsement are very high, the price is very affordable. I often take advantage of 618 and Double 11 to stock up on large packaging. The average monthly average is only 100+, which is very cost-effective! The cat is having fun eating, and my wallet is also happy~
