My
cat's name is Garfield, he was born on
April 26th 2013. Garfield is a European cat. We
adopted him when he was two months old.
Garfield,
like all cats, is a big sleeper. He
sleeps 16 hours per day on average. But
at night he is active because he hunts mice
and brings them back like trophies.
We
often say the cat always falls on its paws, it's
true because he is very flexible but sometimes
if the fall is short he can be seriously
injured.
We
often say a black cat brings bad luck. It
was a superstition in the Middle Ages. Fortunately
thanks to the stories of Charles PERRAULT «
le chat botté » (Puss in Boots), the cat became a pet.
Did
you know that ?
*
The cat purrs from the first
weeks of his life. It's true my cat purrs when
I stroke it or when I give him his food.
*
Do not give them milk because it
makes them sick.
*
So that the cat doesn't sharpen
his claws on the furniture, we give him
a scratcher. When he is outside he
sharpens
them on a piece of wood.
* Garfield's
whiskers are very long, he uses
them for his environment. They
are sensitive to vibration and touch.
They
should never be cut because it will be difficult
for the cat to explore its environment and communicate
with other cats.
*Garfield has a tattoo,
it's his identity card and he's vaccinated
against many diseases some of which
are transmissible to humans, notably rabies.
At
home we love and respect animals and
Garfield is a member of our family.
