What are the characteristics of a cat?
1. Highly curious: Especially kittens, they are very interested in balls, cat toys, etc., and often suddenly rush out to pounce on them, and then run away.
2. Loves to sleep: Cats spend two-thirds of their time sleeping.
3. Cats are clean animals. They need to cover their urine and feces with sand after urinating or defecating, and they regularly lick their fur to keep themselves clean.
4. Nocturnal: Cats are nocturnal animals. Their ancestors hunted at night, and cats still have the habit of being active at night and resting during the day.
5. Loves to eat meat: Cat food is generally high in protein, and cat treats are also mainly meat-based, such as canned food and cat treats.
6. High adaptability: Cats are very resilient, hence the saying that "cats have nine lives".
7. Hunting behavior: Hunting is a cat's instinct. When a cat hunts, it will stay close to the ground and then quietly approach its prey. Once it is at a certain distance, it will quickly pounce on its prey.
8. Intelligence: Cats are highly intelligent, but they usually don't show it.
9. Cats have exceptionally keen hearing and sense of smell. A cat's hearing is three times that of a human, and its sense of smell is about 40 times stronger.
10. Cats are timid. Most cats are timid, which may be related to the fact that they rarely go outside.
11. Although cats have thick fur, they are afraid of the cold. 
What should you pay attention to when raising a cat?
1. Keep dangerous or fragile items out of your cat's reach. Always keep the doors of washing machines, refrigerators, microwaves, and ovens closed. Install safety bars and screens on windows and close the screens immediately when opening windows.
2. Do not plant plants that are poisonous to cats in areas where cats live, such as azaleas, autumn crocuses, lilies, evergreen plants, ivy, hydrangeas, etc.
3. Regularly ventilating and disinfecting your home is beneficial not only for your cat but also for you, as it helps prevent the spread of bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
4. Cats' digestive systems are slightly different from humans'. Many human foods cannot be given to cats, such as milk and various seasonings. Cat food should be the main food source for cats.
