If you have a cat and want it to be healthy, you not only need to feed it well and let it sleep well, but you, as the owner, also need to develop good cat-raising habits. Please be sure to avoid these common mistakes in cat care!
1. Allows it to roam freely around the house. Be very careful when moving around the house, paying attention to opening and closing doors, the refrigerator, and drawers to avoid stepping on or pinching it, as kittens like to hide in corners, drawers, or crevices. Consider attaching a bell to it so you can know its location whenever you call. 
2. The misconception that kittens are too young to be trained. Kittens should be trained from a young age, and appropriate punishment should be given when they do wrong. For example, if a kitten urinates everywhere and does not correct its behavior after being trained, we can reduce its food intake as punishment.
3. To save money, some people don't vaccinate their kittens. For a cat's health and to protect it from disease, it's essential to vaccinate them regularly, such as with the triple vaccine. These are crucial for a cat's healthy growth.
4. Leave the kitten alone at home. If it is still young and no one is home during the day, try to keep it in a large cage or a corner of the room with all the necessary furniture. Let it out when someone is home. This can reduce the chances of accidents.
5. The claim that declawing surgery is untrue.
Many uninformed new cat owners have gone down the path of declawing when a veterinarian asks, "Would you like your kitten declawing when we neuter it?" Some veterinarians consider declawing a "routine" surgery, while cat advocates argue it's cruel, inhumane, and rarely necessary. Learn the facts so you can make an informed decision.
6. It is not permissible to think of a cat as merely a cat.
A cat is not a child, nor is it a dog. A cat's unique qualities make it a lovable animal. On the other hand, some of its characteristics can manifest as frustration because we don't understand its needs. Cats instinctively seek high places and sharpen their claws because they are cats, not because they are stubborn or rebellious. Our job is to accommodate these needs in an acceptable way.
In short, before rushing into a pet store window to raise a cat, owners should take the time to do their homework and avoid making these common mistakes from the start.
