Kitten Care Guide

Meow meow meow

a bolt from the blue.

Thunder on the ground.

Su Li froze on the spot.

The chin is still itchy, just like being bitten by a mosquito and it swells up. I don’t feel very uncomfortable when I don’t notice it, but after knowing its existence, I feel hot and itchy all the time.

Su Li didn't know whether his black chin was serious or not. He deliberately rubbed his paws a few more times, but he was afraid of hurting himself and getting dirty, so he felt a little embarrassed and at a loss in his heart.

At least in Su Li's own opinion, he has always been a clean kitten.

Any kind of kitten can have a black chin, but he doesn't.

But now, he is not.

Shen Zuo was still in a meeting at the moment, Su Li anxiously walked around on the cushion at his feet twice, but still didn't disturb him, and planned to look for Shen Zuo after the end.

Su Li, who was in a state of doubting his life, sat on the soft cushion and didn't dare to rest on his stomach for a while, for fear that he would dirty the soft cushion.

Su Li: How could this be?

-

It took Shen Zuo almost 10 minutes to end the meeting.

The moment he closed the computer, he lowered his head to look for his mooncake kitten at his feet.

Based on what he knew about moon cake, it was probably sleeping again at the moment, but it was almost time for dinner, so it was time to wake him up and take him for a walk, he couldn't sleep all day.

But when he lowered his head, he saw the yellow kitten sitting on the ground.

It has always been lazy and didn't even lie on the mat, and its posture looked a bit unnatural. When it looked up at Shen, it jumped up and ran over anxiously.

Shen Zuo frowned: "Moon cake, what's wrong?"

Su Li rubbed his two paws on his chin, "meowed" anxiously, and then tried his best to raise his chin for Shen Zuo to see.

Su Li: Quickly heal my chin! !

To be honest, the black chin of kittens is usually due to the increase of hormone secretion level in the body and the strong secretion of hair follicle secretion. High oil and high salt may also lead to black chin. If left alone for a long time, it will further cause folliculitis, but black chin is very serious. Difficult to spot in the first place.

Because the initial symptoms are not obvious, and the kittens are covered with thick hair, the small black spots hidden at the root of the hair are completely covered, and they cannot be seen at all.

Generally speaking, what can be discovered by the owner has reached the stage where the kitten scratches its paws because of itching, scratches, bleeds, scabs, and forms large black blood scabs.

The little kitten has a strong ability to endure, and it scratches or holds back when it itches or hurts, unlike Su Li, who hurriedly moved to Shen Zuo's side as soon as he realized something was wrong.

Shen Zuo didn't know what Su Li was scratching, but when he heard his nervous cry, he immediately picked him up.

Su Li leaned on Shen Zuo's lap, raised his head cooperatively, and asked Shen Zuo to check the hair on his chin.

Su Li is a kitten that is yellow with light black herringbone pattern, but the hair on his chin and belly is lighter than other places. For example, the fur on his chin is light yellow.

Shen Zuo only saw the small black dots sticking to the surface at first glance, which were brought out by Su Li's scratching twice just now.

When he checked again carefully, after separating the hairs, he could see more small black spots at the roots, not many in number, but they could not be ignored on the light-colored hairs.

And unlike the white skin in other places, the skin with small black spots like black cinders looks a little yellowish, as if soaked in a layer of brown oil, which is not healthy.

Su Li "meow meow meow": how so how!seriously!

This was the first time Shen Zuo had come into contact with the black chin of a kitten. He didn't make a judgment on his own, and immediately called Lu Ming directly.

Su Li: ".."

Actually, he didn't think black chin or something could be fixed by a veterinarian. Shen Zuo found a solution on the Internet, and he thought it was possible!

However, Shen Zuo would not think like him.

When he was sick and went to see a doctor, Su Li had some bad changes, so he was right to find Lu Ming in time.

Not long after, Lu Ming hurried over.

From the phone call, Lu Ming knew that his chin was just an ordinary black chin. According to Shen Zuo's description, the area was not big and the situation was not serious. As long as it was cleaned well, it would probably disappear in a few days.Nan Feng

But what he was more curious about was how could Writer Shen's kitten have a black chin?

Compared with other cats that Lu Ming has come into contact with, Writer Shen's Comrade Moon Cake is obviously smarter than other cats, and he is also very well-behaved.

Taking the simple matter of drinking water as an example, cats actually need a lot of water. For kittens who only eat cat food, drinking water is a must, but there are very few worry-free kittens. Some of them refused to drink water.

For kittens who eat canned food, although the water in the canned food is about 78%, eating only canned food still cannot meet their daily needs.

Moreover, many kittens refuse to drink water after eating canned food. Because of the water intake, they don't feel thirsty, so they naturally don't want to add extra water.

This is the case with Lu Ming's cat, so every time he eats canned food, he will add an appropriate amount of water to ensure that his silly son has sufficient water intake.

But there are also downsides to this - the broth will wet the kitten's chin, but if it's not cleaned up a little, the black chin should appear.

But writer Shen is different.

Shen Zuo's daily task is to open the lunch box and put it in a bowl. Su Li eats the meal box made of shredded meat and muddy meat without adding any water.

Because Su Li is the kitten that Lu Ming has seen so far, the most conscientious drinking water, two bowls a day is definitely not a lot.

Even if it gets a little bit of soup occasionally, it will be clean after a few licks.

Without being bothered by broth, and without eating high-fat and high-salt foods, and the hormone level has not yet reached the stage of rapid development, it stands to reason that moon cakes should not cause dark chins.

But it happens to be there.

Lu Ming: ".." Why?

He doesn't understand.

Su Li and Shen Zuo didn't understand either.

Especially Su Li, he is a clean kitten, and he doesn't wander around. He eats those four meals a day, how can he have a black chin?

Su Li: I don't agree!

Under Lu Ming's guidance, Shen Zuo gave Su Li's chin a big clean.

Because the situation is not very eye-catching, and there is no bleeding and scabbing, so I only wash it with normal saline to clean up all the existing small black spots, then dry it with a paper towel, and then blow dry the hair.

At this point, Lu Ming sighed even more in his heart, the moon cake is really so obedient, it is not even afraid of the sound of the hair dryer.

Listening to him blowing his rainbow fart, Su Li lay on Shen Zuo's lap and swayed his little tail triumphantly - he used to use a hair dryer to blow on his head, how could he be afraid, and he wasn't a timid kitten.

In short, after Shen Zuo cleaned up for him, most of the itching on Su Li's chin disappeared.

According to Lu Ming, there will still be some small black spots more or less in the past two days, and it is impossible to clean them up all at once, but for two days, clean them once a day in the morning and evening, and they will get better soon.

Then the remaining problem is to find out why the moon cake kitty has a black chin.

Lu Ming checked Su Li's bowls and water bowls, all of them were clean.

Su Li is not like other kittens who eat, play, and eat. He eats all at once at the meal time, and then his rice bowl will be cleaned and disinfected by Aunt Wang, and sent back clean.

The same goes for the water bowl, which is regularly replaced by someone.

Therefore, it is unlikely that the black chin is caused by the problem of not washing the dishes.

A three-and-a-half-month-old kitten has a black chin because of it?

Perhaps, it is its own reason.

But based on Lu Ming’s preconceived notion of Su Li—the smartest, most well-behaved, and clean (does not play in the cat litter, does not sleep in the litter box), this clean little cat will not be black no matter what he thinks. Jaw it!

In short, in a daze, Lu Ming stayed for a while, preparing to observe Su Li's eating situation, to see if there were any problems that they hadn't noticed.

For Su Li, eating in front of strangers always feels a bit weird, but, after all, Lu Ming is a doctor, and he came to find the "cause" for him, so he can't resist too much.

So, he ate his dinner as obediently as he usually does.

In short, in Su Li's own heart, there is no other kitten who can be more cute than him!

After eating, I drank some water and rinsed my mouth as usual.

Su Li licked his mouth, found a place to lie down and looked at Shen Zuo and Lu Ming who were watching him eating.

Because of Lu Ming's suggestion last time, Shen Zuo now brushes his teeth once a day, but not at this time in the evening, but in the early morning, so he didn't demonstrate it to Lu Ming this time.

But every day, Su Li is very cooperative. Not only does he open his mouth obediently, he tilts his head when he asks him to tilt his head, and turns around when he asks him to turn around.

If this is seen by those shit-shoveling officers who are struggling to brush the teeth of kittens, I don’t know how envious they will be.

The most worry-free and well-behaved kitten mooncakes, that's not a joke.

Su Li calculated his every move just now, but he couldn't find any problems.

Where does he not like to be clean?

He also won't lick the can and splash it all over the sides of the bowl, and he won't let his chest hair get yellow with broth, he's cute and clean!

Shen Zuo couldn't see anything wrong either.

The same is true for Lu Ming, as long as his cat is half as worried as the one in front of him, he won't get angry sometimes.

But looking at it, Lu Ming frowned.

Su Li's heart skipped a beat, what's wrong!

Lu Ming asked, "Does Moon Cake usually lick her fur?"

Shen Zuo: "Licking hair? It seems not."

Su Li's fur is quite smooth every day, but that's not because Su Li has superb licking skills as a kitten, but because Shen Zuo prepared a lot of combs to groom his hair.

Su Li: ".."

He is human, how could he lick his hair!

Just...he felt that Mao Mao rolling around on the ground was still a bit dirty.

Lu Ming: ".."

He finally knew where the crux of the problem was.

That is to say, he looked at the glamorous kitten, but he didn't lick his fur in private. From the time it finished eating until now, Lu Ming hadn't seen him lick his chin even once, let alone wash his face.

In this case, even if there is less sticky when eating, there will always be some leftovers, which made his chin dark at a young age.

Lu Ming thought for a while, and asked another question that he knew the answer but still wanted to ask: "Then...can mooncakes lick ass?"

Su Li: ".."

Su Li: "?"

Su Li: Why don't you kill me.

The author says:

Let's just say, a kitten who can't lick butt is really a dirty kitty.

Comrade Mooncake is doomed to be a glamorous little dirty cat at home
