It’s like letting the cat enjoy a quiet family atmosphere in the gentle breeze and stay away from the hustle and bustle; toys and climbing frames should be prepared to let the cat release pressure while enjoying the fun; if there are other pets at home, why not try a gradual introduction?

For elderly or mobility-inconvenient cats, they should provide them with a convenient excretion environment, such as special cat litter box; while cats in estrus or pregnancy need to provide more care and care to ensure that their basic physiological needs are properly met.
Correct cat territory marking behavior: If cats are found to have territory marking behavior, they should be stopped immediately and moderately educated.
