Like most carnivores, their eyes look straight ahead, which gives them a wide field of vision. Angola cat's ability to distinguish three primary colors is very poor.

If angola cat has only dim light here, they will use beards to improve their mobility and perception. Beards can feel very weak wind to identify obstacles when they can't see them.

Sometimes angola cat will howl or sing.

Angola cat loves cleanliness. For example, they often lick their own hair. Their saliva is like a powerful cleanser, but it can make people allergic. Because the hair is swallowed and accumulated in the stomach during licking and protecting, sometimes angola cat may spit out hair balls.

Clean your kitten often. In many cases, they love licking their bodies and cleaning themselves. After dinner, it will wipe its beard with its front paws, lick its anus with its tongue after urinating, and lick its hair with its tongue after being held. This is angola cat Jr. removing odor and dirt. There are many rough protrusions on angola cat's tongue, which is the most suitable tool for removing dirt.

Among domestic animals, cats are the most hygienic. Angola cat is no exception. You can see that angola cat washes his face with his paws every day. And every time you urinate in a fixed place, you should cover the feces with your claws after defecation. Angola cat's clean habit is an important reason why people are willing to raise angola cat. But does angola cat really pay attention to hygiene and love cleanliness as people imagine? In fact, angola cat's grooming is entirely out of physiological needs.

For example, angola cat licks the coat with his tongue to stimulate the secretion of sebaceous glands, so that the coat is bright and lubricated, and it is not easy to get wet by water. He can lick a small amount of vitamin D to promote the normal development of bones, and also make the coat fluffy and promote the heat dissipation function. This is not difficult to understand as long as you pay attention to the fact that angola cat is good at combing his hair. Angola cat usually starts to comb his hair after waking up in the sun after eating and playing, or after chasing his prey. In the hot season or after strenuous exercise, a lot of heat will be generated in the body. In order to keep the body temperature constant, excess heat must be discharged from the body. We humans can solve this problem by washing our hair or sweating, but angola cat's sweat glands are underdeveloped and cannot evaporate a lot of water. Therefore, angola cat smeared saliva on fur with his tongue. The evaporation of water in saliva can take away heat and cool down the summer heat. Regular combing during hair removal can promote the growth of new hair. In addition, by scratching and biting, fur can be prevented from being infected with parasitic diseases, such as fleas and lice diseases, and kept healthy.

Angola cat's behavior of covering up feces is entirely out of the instinct of life, which is inherited by his ancestors. Angola cat's ancestor-wild angola cat, in order to prevent invincible from finding it from the smell of its feces and tracking it, he covered up the feces. This kind of behavior in modern angola cat has no meaning in this respect, but it has won a good reputation for health in angola cat.

Angola cat still keeps the carnivorous habit of not sleeping during the day and going out at night, and many activities (such as catching rats and courtship) are often carried out at night. The most active moment in angola cat every day is dawn or evening, and most of the day is to rest or sleep lazily.

-Feed cats with balanced cat food to make them healthy and lively;

—— Clean the cat food basin in time and put it separately;

-Bathe the cat in time and keep it clean;

-Vaccinate cats in time to enhance their disease resistance;

-Clean up cat droppings in time to avoid affecting others and the environment;

-If the cat is sick, take the cat to the veterinary clinic in time.

-Matters needing attention in cat sterilization (practical version) Like dogs, cats often wag their tails, but wagging their tails is not the same as dogs, and wagging their tails represents friendliness and welcome.

The meaning of wagging a cat's tail is very complicated, and there are roughly the following situations:

1. If two cats are facing each other with their ears down, pay close attention to each other's every move and wag their tails vigorously from side to side, indicating that they are in a state of tension or emotional excitement and may fight at any time!

2. When the cat is resting, if you want to comb its fur or limit its freedom, the cat will wag its tail quickly to show impatience. When it takes a quiet nap somewhere, the cat doesn't necessarily look back at its owner's call, but wags its tail as an answer.

The cat is happiest when it sleeps in its master's arms voluntarily. At this time, its tail will slowly swing, and even in its sleep, the cat will occasionally shake its tail. When a cat asks you for something, such as begging, it will wander at your feet, its tail will stand high, its nose will sway, and its meowing will make people feel sorry.

First of all, if your cat is a male cat, you don't have to worry at all, just pay attention to whether the doctor gave him eye drops or ointment during the operation. The purpose of this move is to prevent cats that have been anesthetized from drying their eyes because they cannot close their eyes. Everything will return to normal in a few hours after the operation.

If it was a female cat, I might be more worried. First of all, doctors must have rich clinical experience, and the incision should be controlled within 3 stitches. If the incision is too long, the cat will suffer for a few more days. In general, preparation time (such as shaving, etc.) is not included. ), the time on the operating table should not exceed 20 minutes, which shows that the doctor is skilled enough. It is even more necessary for female cats to use enough eye cream. Hours after the operation, she was still under anesthesia, and her eyes kept staring. Doctors should take this into account. Be sure to put it flat (take it home with a flat basket) after the operation, otherwise it will be very bad for the wound. It should be admitted that female cat surgery makes cats more painful, because after all, it is disembowelling. But don't underestimate the cat's resilience. Usually, 50 hours after the operation, you can eat normally, go to the toilet, and even bite and play with your master.

As long as the operation is normal, the cat's recovery ability is similar. So, if the doctor you are looking for is an experienced doctor (never let interns have surgery, you can strongly demand it. I don't care so much, the child's life is important, it doesn't matter who is offended, just achieve the goal), and it will be normal in 2-3 days after surgery. It's just that the wound hasn't healed completely, so it's particularly important to watch him not jump around and prevent the wound from bursting. The stitches can be removed in 7 days, not necessarily in the hospital where the operation is performed, but in a nearby hospital. Removing stitches is a very simple job.

There are no strict rules about fasting and water prohibition. Every cat is very sensitive to anesthetics, and it is normal to vomit or not. After the operation, some cats will go to the toilet in bed, and incontinence is normal, mainly depending on the sensitivity of cats to anesthetics. Choosing a good doctor usually takes care of it for 2-3 days. [Edit this paragraph] angola cat-evolutionary history angola cat

Wolves can adapt to human life at first because their social behavior matches human beings in many ways. Cats are different from humans. They are solitary hunters with fixed territory, and most of them are active at night. However, it was their hunting behavior that first brought cats into contact with human environment, and their strong instinct to protect territory drove them to appear in the same place.

The history of domesticating cats is much later than that of dogs. This period may not be earlier than 7000 BC, when the "crescent-shaped rice granary" was formed in the Middle East due to the prosperity of agriculture. The appearance of houses, barns and grain shops provides a new living environment for small mammals such as mice, which are just the ideal prey for small wild cats. From the beginning, people and cats have established a mutually beneficial relationship: cats get rich food sources, while humans get rid of annoying rodents. At first, the existence of these wild cats may be accepted or even encouraged by human beings, and some food will be thrown from time to time. Just like wolves, some tame wild cats were gradually absorbed into human society, resulting in the earliest semi-domesticated cats.

It is almost certain that domestic cats are descendants of all small wildcats in Europe, Africa and South Asia. In this vast area, according to the local environment and climate conditions, countless sub-populations of wild cats have evolved. Their appearances are different. European wildcats living in the north have strong bodies, short ears and thick fur. African wildcats are more slender, with long ears and long legs; Asian wildcats living in the south are small and spotted.

The original ancestor of domestic cats is probably African wildcats, because African wildcats are only slightly bigger than domestic cats and have a gentler temperament than other wildcats. African wildcats often appear near human settlements, are easy to domesticate and are often kept as pets by local residents. After domestic cats are brought around the world, they may mate with local wild cats and become the ancestors of modern domestic cats in different regions. At present, the fur lines of European domestic cats with dark stripes have the characteristics of both European wild cats and African wild cats, while the spots on domestic cats living in India indicate that their ancestors are related to Asian wild cats. The hybridization between domestic cats and other wild cat breeds, such as jungle cats, is unlikely to have a significant impact on the mainstream breeds of domestic cats [1].

After thousands of generations of reproduction, the physiological changes caused by domestication have also occurred in cats, similar to dogs. Including smaller body, shorter claws, smaller brain and cranial cavity, posture of stretching ears and tail, and color and texture of fur have also changed. But unlike dogs, cats maintain a great degree of independence in human society, so they rarely form certain behavioral characteristics that human beings need because of selective external pressure. Therefore, compared with their ancestors, domestic cats have little change in appearance, which is difficult to distinguish in early archaeological discoveries.

The remains of cats have been found near different prehistoric human sites, including the Neolithic site in Israel about 9000 years ago and the Indian Valley site in Pakistan about 4000 years ago. However, these wrecks are probably wild cats killed for fur or meat. Interestingly, the remains of cats and mice 8,000 years ago were found on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, which can only be brought to the island by human immigrants. Although these cats may not have been fully domesticated, they were deliberately brought to the island to deal with rodents. In Egyptian mythology, cats are the guardians of the underworld.
