What is a singapura cat?
Singapore cats, English name Singapura, first originated in Singapore. They were discovered in the early 1970s and are very petite cats. The Singaporean cat is quiet, curious and agile.
What does a singapura cat look like?
The small size of the Singapore cat, the weight of the female cat is generally below 1.8-2.7 kg, and the male cat is above 2.7 kg. With an agouti-like coat color, the same pattern can also be found on abyssinian cats, rabbits, squirrels and gophers. Short, close-fitting, glossy coat with stripes on the inside of the front legs and back knees; round head with ‘M’ markings on the forehead, very large eyes and ears, broad at the base of the ears, eyes may be hazelnut color, green and yellow. Short noses and moderately long limbs, all Singapore cats have the same coat color, the only CFA-approved color – ancient ivory ground and dark brown on the tips, which creates the dark brown agouti markings. Its coat color often gives the impression of softness, but the truth is just the opposite, although it is small, it is a muscular cat.

singapura cat living habits
Cats are not popular in Singapore, so although this cat breed is preserved, it is not used to being fed by humans. In fact, as long as they are raised properly, Singapore cats are very affectionate, very loyal to their owners, and like to be with people. Curious and agile, they often run around lively. Due to its small size and quiet voice, it will not cause many troubles to the owner. The disadvantage is that the Singaporean cat is more playful and curious, and likes to drill everywhere, even into the sewers, so many people don’t like it. However, Singapore cats are very docile and non-aggressive, and can be raised with confidence even if there are babies at home.
singapura cat rearing
tooth change period
The kittens will gradually grow deciduous teeth from birth, and they will be able to eat dry food when they are nearly two months old, so the mother cat will gradually refuse the kitten‘s milking behavior because of the growth of the kitten’s teeth. It is the so-called weaning, why refuse it? It just hurts! Of course, it will hurt to bite the nipple, but remember that the teeth you see before the age of four months are all baby teeth, which will gradually fall out and be replaced by permanent teeth. During the process of changing teeth, of course there will be bleeding. , This condition will last until the age of the month, the gums will also be slightly red and swollen, and even a little anorexia, which is a normal phenomenon.
Why have we never seen a lost baby tooth? This is because most of them swallow their deciduous deciduous teeth, does it matter? It doesn’t matter, if you still have doubts, it is best to ask a veterinarian to check it. Is it possible that baby teeth won’t fall out? Of course it is possible, this will affect the growth and direction of permanent teeth, so if there are still deciduous teeth after the age of eight months, you must ask a veterinarian to extract them.
hunting behavior
Cats are complete carnivores and play the role of predators on the food chain, so kittens learn to hunt from an early age, it’s a natural instinct, and the object of the exercise is the mother or siblings, but when you take them with you After returning home to raise, these objects of study and practice are gone, what should I do? Of course, there are only humans left, that is, all the family members. There are often pet owners who complain that “it keeps biting! It will also suddenly rush out and bite my feet.” In fact, this is a learning process of hunting behavior. , is a normal behavior, but it may cause trouble for you, so treat the young cat gently and gently, don’t provoke its nature, and don’t play rough games with it, so as to avoid biting addiction.
If the kitten bites, you can teach it by flicking its nose, or spray it with a water gun. If it is biting a finger, don’t be polite, just stick your finger into its mouth to make it feel uncomfortable, and it will later I don’t dare to bite, but this kind of training will not work once or twice, and it will take many intensive sessions to deepen the impression.
Hair cream
I don’t know who invented the term hair removal cream. It is so creative and misleading. In fact, hair removal cream is a stool softener, a convenience agent, and a constipation treatment agent. It cannot digest hair at all, because There are rough barbs on the tongue of cats, which can be used to comb their own hair. During such licking, the shed hair will be swallowed into the stomach. A small amount of hair will not cause any symptoms. When there are hairballs or a lot of hair loss, the amount of hair swallowed into the stomach and intestines will be considerable, and it may cause the so-called “hairball disease”, which is gastrointestinal obstruction, and the symptoms are vomiting and constipation.
Then here comes the problem! Do kittens need to eat hair cream? It’s too late for kittens to grow hair, so what else is shedding? Unless there is a skin disease that causes severe hair loss, most of the creams will be given after the age of six months. Moreover, good grooming habits every day can tell you when you need to start using the cream and when you don’t need to give it. Hair cream, which means that when hair loss is serious, you must take a knuckle hair cream every day. If it is normal hair loss, you can use it once a week. If there is no hair loss at all, stop using it. If constipation has occurred, use it. The amount must be increased to two knuckles, and twice a day.
Pica
Most cats have a special hobby for the smell of plastic. Many owners will use plastic bags, bamboo chopsticks bags, and plastic ropes to please cats. This is a very scary behavior. Once cats fall in love with such plastic products, they will have an appetite. It’s getting bigger and bigger, and it’s possible that even the foam floor like Qiao Qiao Pin will be eaten. It’s not a distressed item, but it may cause a terrible intestinal obstruction after being swallowed by a cat. Not only is it difficult to diagnose, but the cost of surgery and hospitalization may be high. It will cause you a lot of burden. After such tossing, cats will not have enough lives for nine lives. In addition, they will never learn a lesson and will happen again and again. The highest record is four times in two years!
Scary enough.
There are also a large number of cats who are obsessed with fibers, most of which are caused by premature weaning. Therefore, fiber textiles such as sewing threads, woolen threads, and sweaters should also be kept away from cats as much as possible. The consequences of linear foreign bodies are more serious. Gastrointestinal cuts, don’t be careful!
