The inside of the ear is dry and pink (there are a lot of black secretions, and the cat scratching the ear should be ear mites)
The front end of the nose is moist and cool, and there is not much secretion (pay more attention to the secretion, which may be a cold or a cat's nasal branch)!
Tooth occlusion is normal, no bad breath and tooth loss!
Paws are not injured, swollen and festering!
No hair loss, dandruff or dementia, smooth hair (good mental state, responsive)!
When you bring it home, you will not be overly afraid of people, and you will have an appetite (cats that have not been vaccinated will have a cat cancer accuracy rate, and the incubation period is 2~9 days!

When you are ready to welcome the little guy, you must clean up the house first and minimize the dust! It's best to take a cat bag or an air box to pick up the cat in case it runs away under pressure.
Three things for cats to come home.
Don't vent in a hurry, be calm;
Mix the cat food given by the merchant with the prepared cat food to prepare water;
Take him to the litter box. Cats always fly twice before they know where the poop is.
Tip: When the kitten comes home, spend more time with her and let her know you.
Problems you may encounter.
Cats can't hide under the bed. If they don't eat or drink, they will yell at you and won't let you touch them.
Be patient with it, and it will adapt in two to three days! Keep the environment clean and free of dust. I sneeze a lot when I get home. Keep warm! Clean the cat bowl once a meal and shovel the cat litter basin once a day.
