NEXKY’s Tips 💕
Check with a vet or the internet before treating them with anything you are unsure of. If the cats appear sick, contact the vets immediately!
It’s time to see how we can protect ourselves when playing with cats.
NEXKY’s Tips 💕 : When you play with cats, watch their reactions!
- If their tails are fluffed and spiked up, do not go near them. They are either scared or angry!
- Let them sleep! Approaching them while they sleep could frighten them. Wait for the cats to wake up first or approach them slowly from the front.
- Areas to avoid when petting : cute fluffy belly, legs, and tail.
- Pet softly and follow the direction of hair growth.
💥 Most importantly, while petting a cat, be sure to always keep watch. They can get annoyed easily! If they start to freeze and turn their heads towards your hand, stop immediately.
(Soft bites could represent their love for us, but if unsure or it is a stray, beware!)
If you get bit, quickly clean the wound. If you haven’t received your rabies vaccine, immediately visit the hospital or it could be life threatening❗️
