🐱 Do You Have a Daily Cat Care Routine?

It's easy to overlook some details when raising a cat. Here is a detailed daily cat care schedule:

☀ Daily

1. Litter Box Cleaning: Clean the litter box to reduce bacterial growth and observe the color and shape of the feces to monitor your cat's health.
2. Dish Cleaning: Wash your cat's dishes daily to reduce bacterial growth from food residue.
3. Playtime: Engage in play with your cat to increase their physical activity and boost metabolism.
4. Butt Cleaning: For long-haired cats or those with digestive issues, clean the area around their butt daily.
5. Eye Cleaning: Clean the area around your cat's eyes once a day to remove dust and eye discharge. For cats with short nasal passages, also clean tear stains.

☀ Weekly

1. Litter Replacement: Change the litter once a week to reduce bacterial growth.
2. Chin Cleaning: Clean your cat's chin 2-3 times a week to prevent chin acne; daily cleaning is even better.
3. Brushing: Brush your cat 2-3 times a week to reduce hair ingestion and check for skin health.
4. Tooth Cleaning: Brush your cat's teeth 1-2 times a week to reduce plaque formation; daily brushing is ideal if possible.
5. Extra Meals: Feed your cat wet food 3-4 times a week to increase their water intake and nutrition; feeding wet food daily is best.
6. Health Care: Prevent hairball formation and use supplements like urinary health tablets for male cats.

☀ Every Two Weeks

1. Nail Trimming: Trim your cat's nails every two weeks to avoid overgrowth; be careful not to cut the quick.
2. Ear Cleaning: Clean the ears only if there is earwax; use a clean cotton ball to clean the outer ear.
3. Paw Hair Trimming: Trim the hair around your cat’s paw pads to prevent fungal infections and slipping.
4. Litter Box Cleaning: Deep clean the litter box every two weeks to reduce disease risk, especially for fully enclosed litter boxes.

☀ Monthly

1. External Deworming: Perform external deworming once a month to prevent parasite infections.
2. Item Cleaning: Clean your cat’s items to remove body waste buildup.
3. House Cleaning: Regularly clean the house to prevent respiratory issues caused by dust accumulation.

☀ Quarterly

1. Internal Deworming: Deworm adult cats every three months and kittens monthly until six months old to prevent internal parasite infections.
2. Disinfection: Disinfect the environment to reduce illness risk during seasonal changes.
3. Stock Up on Food: Stock up on cat food appropriately, but not excessively, to avoid spoilage.

☀ Every Six Months

1. Bathing: Bathe your cat every six months, depending on their reaction.
2. Carrier Cleaning: Clean and disinfect cat carriers every six months, even if rarely used.
3. Carpet and Curtain Cleaning: Clean carpets and curtains every six months, as these are areas your cat frequently contacts.

☀ Annually

1. Vaccination: Check for antibodies with a vet before deciding on booster shots.
2. Health Check-Up: Conduct an annual health check-up for a healthy cat.
3. Food Change: If your cat is well-adjusted to a particular food, there's no need to change it.
