I believe many people like kittens, with furry, round eyes, super cute, and it makes people can't help but stroking them. Therefore, there are many friends who raise cats now. But when kittens just arrived at your home from a pet store or elsewhere, they took a short time to adapt to their new home. So how long does it usually take for cats to adapt to the new environment?

Because cats are timid, vigilant, and have a certain sense of territory, cats usually need to adapt within about seven days after they arrive in a new and unfamiliar environment. During this period, give the cat a quiet environment and let it become familiar with the environment first and do not interfere with it. You can put some blankets, toys and other things that cats are familiar with to make cats feel more secure. You can use snacks, canned cats, meat, etc. to lure cats down and be familiar with the smell of new owners.

In addition, cats usually experience stress after they arrive in a new environment. Therefore, during this period when cats change their environment, it is recommended that cats not easily change their daily necessities such as food, canned food, cat litter, etc., and provide the cat with a quiet and independent space as much as possible. You can check it out for a few hours or play with it to soothe its emotions. At the same time, you should observe its diet and urinate and urge it to eat and drink water as soon as possible.

It is necessary to pay attention to the alert period of cat stress response: through a series of neurophysiological changes, the body is in a state of war readiness. This period can be divided into shock and anti-shock period. During the shock period, symptoms of shock such as decreased blood pressure, increased vascular permeability, decreased blood concentration and decreased body temperature may occur. The symptoms of anti-shock period are the opposite of those of shock period. Resistance period: At this time, neurophysiological changes continue to occur, make full use of the body's resources to deal with various emergencies.

However, the above situation is relatively rare. Generally, after about seven days, the kitten can gradually adapt to its new environment and begin to slowly accept this new home. What the shoveler needs to do is take good care of it and take care of its diet and daily life. Next, start living happily with the kitten!
