Kittens can live independently when they are 6 months old, and their life span is about 1 years.

domestic cats have reproductive ability from July to December after birth. Estrus usually occurs in January-March, May-August, or October. The gestation period is about 62 days, and one to eight fetuses are produced at a time. Usually 3 ~ 5. A cat with good physical strength can give birth twice a year.

A newborn kitten, whose eyes and ears are closed and a little hairy, opens its eyes in about 7-2 days and learns to walk in 9-15 days. They can eat solid food when they are 4 weeks old, and can be weaned in about 8 ~ 1 weeks.

Precautions for raising cats

1. Cats' food plates should be used regularly and cannot be changed casually. Cats are very sensitive to the change of food plates, and sometimes refuse to eat because they have changed food plates. Keep the food plate clean. Newspaper or plastic paper can be placed under the food tray to prevent the noise when the food tray slides, and it is also easy to clean. Every time the cat eats leftover food, throw it away or put it away, and feed it after it is mixed with fresh food and cooked at the next feeding.

2. Feed at regular intervals. Once the biological clock of a cat's "meal" is formed, it is relatively fixed and should not be changed at will. The place where herding cats eats should be fixed. Cats don't like to eat in noisy and bright places. If there are guests visiting, don't let them look at your cat while the cat is eating. The appearance of strangers will greatly reduce the cat's appetite.

3. Cats have the bad habit of grabbing food with claws or taking food out of the food tray. Once this phenomenon is discovered, it should be corrected immediately.

4. Cats like warm food. Cold food not only affects the appetite of cats, but also easily causes digestive disorders. Under normal circumstances, the temperature of food should be 3 ~ 4℃, and the food taken out of the refrigerator should be heated before feeding.
