Chapter 13: Raising a cat is not easy

There are several ways to do this: 1. Trim your nails regularly for cats. Cats grind their claws to grind their nails. Regular trimming can reduce the damage to the furniture by cats and will not scratch people.

2. Prepare something for the cat to catch. This is the most important principle. Since cats’ nature cannot be changed, it is prohibited to grab a place and provide the cat with another place to grind the claws. This is very important! You can specially prepare a grinding plate for her (preferably made of natural materials, such as hemp rope, wood, etc.), fix it vertically, and then train the cat to grind the claws. If necessary, you can use some catnip to attract the cat to grind the claws. Now you can also buy catnips with catnip sprayed on it. Most cats like to use it very much. In addition, some straw mats made of natural materials are also the favorites of some cats, and some cats will grind their claws consciously.

3. Spray lemonade on the place she likes to grab on the sofa. The cat doesn’t like the taste of lemonade, and the cat also hates the water cats with orange peels. Other unpopular smells include caloric water, feng oil essence, etc. When the cats go to grind their claws, they will definitely avoid them.

After buying the toys, the two continued to walk forward. There was a cat supply store in front of them. He Hyoly pushed the door and went in. The cat items inside were of various kinds, which was completely dazzling. According to the clerk's introduction, Hyoly picked a cat post with hemp rope and a large cat crawler.

There are no cat crawlers at home, there are only four cat houses, so she wants to change one for the cat to play with. There are four cats at home, so Hyori chose a large cat crawler, enough for the children at home to play with.

Because the thing is relatively large and it is difficult to keep shopping, Hyori told the store that he put it in the store and then came to get it later.

After leaving the pet shop, the two continued to stroll in Myeongdong.

The evenings in Myeongdong were very lively, and many people recognized Hyori, but they did not come to disturb us. At most, they just took a few photos with their mobile phones.

I have been used to this, and I have to get used to it. Before I confirmed my relationship with Hyoly in the early years, I had a meal together or something, and if I didn’t pay attention, I would be photographed secretly. As I was photographed, Li Shenxing got used to it. Sometimes, I would also play posses with the camera.

After a long walk around, Li Shenxing and Hyoly returned to the previous pet store. After taking the things in with the clerk, they carried them back to the car and drove home.

....................................................................................................................

"Wow~! I was so happy today~! Children are coming out soon, I'm buying you a gift."

When he got home, Hyori immediately sat on the floor of the living room with his stuff, and first took out the cat toy from the bag, mostly yellow and purple, and beige.

In the book "A Guide to Cat Raising", Dr. Bruce Foger of the UK clearly pointed out that most cats prefer the colors of the yellow and purple series.

The children at home were already attracted by the sound of plastic bags.

"Mimi, look, this is a toy for you. Do you like it?" Hyori put the rabbit in purple clothes in front of Mimi. After Mimi turned around the toy for a few times, she rushed up to play.

The other few people also came around with interest, and Hyori took out all the remaining toys and put them on the floor to play with them.

Li Shenxing opened the packaging box of the cat climbing rack and took out all the parts inside. The pillars were wrapped with thick sisal ropes and thickened the pillars. This can better prevent the cat climbing rack from swaying, play a very important role in the stability of the cat climbing rack, and minimize the cat's destructive effect on the cat climbing rack.

The cat climbing frame is already a semi-finished product. Next, just match the items in order according to the logo on the drawings, and then screw on and fix them.

Put the bottom plate first, and there is a layer of soft velvet cloth on it, which is very soft and comfortable.

The two cooperated to assemble the cat crawler.

"Kitten, give me the four pillars that are the same height." Li Shenxing said.

"Oh... I found it, give it."

Then screw the column onto the four screws on the bottom plate.

"Cat House."

"Cat House is for you." Hyori handed him the house.

"The kitten comes over to hold the house, I'll tighten it." Li Shenxing said to Hyoly after touching the hole in the cat house.

Install the ladder, cat house, and springboard layer by layer and screw it on, and then the cat climbing frame is ready.

"Wow! So cute, but where do we put it?" asked Hyori.

"Let's go there, it's not too bright during the day, let's move over." Li Shenxing looked around.

Li Shenxing and Hyoly placed the cat crawler next to the sofa near the corner of the floor-to-ceiling window. The cat crawler had no odor, but they still had to spray some catnip that cat likes to attract the cat's interest.

"Mimi! This is my new home for you. Do you like it?" Hyori wrapped Mimi to the cat house and asked.

Li Shenxing and Hyoly wrapped all the cats on the cat climbing rack. The cats were a little cautious at the beginning, standing on them blankly and sniffing them. After a while, they began to climb up and down to explore this new toy.

Lee Shenxing and Hyoly sat on the side and leaned against each other on the floor, watching their "children" playing there, he thought to himself: It would be perfect if there was a child on the side.

Hyori, who was moving on his shoulder, "Go upstairs and go to bed."

"It's less than ten o'clock, it's still early~" Hyori looked at the clock on the wall.

"You have to sleep if you don't sleep."

He bent over and wrapped her around, and withdrew Hyori, the two of them went upstairs playing and went upstairs. They left a few "children" looking at them inexplicably.

December 22 is the winter solstice day of the twenty-four solar terms. In South Korea, the winter solstice is also a relatively important lunar calendar festival. On the winter solstice, there is a custom of eating red bean porridge in Korea. The ancients believed that eating red bean porridge in the winter solstice could only grow one year older.

Red bean porridge is made of red beans and glutinous rice dumplings. The ancients believed that the red beans could drive away ghosts and gods. Therefore, in ancient times, in addition to placing red bean porridge in the ancestral hall to worship ancestors, a bowl of red bean porridge was placed in every corner of the house or sprinkled with porridge to ward off evil spirits and pray for peace in the new year. Although the Winter Solstice is not as grand as the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, in order to pray for peace and health of the family next year, drinking red bean porridge is absolutely indispensable.

Korean Winter Solstice eats bean porridge, but this kind of porridge is not a porridge made of rice with a few beans. Instead, the beans are cooked first, then peeled into sand, and made with the rice soaked before. In addition, small balls made of glutinous rice flour should be placed. When eating, you can eat salt and sugar according to your personal taste. [This is good, there is no dispute over salt and sweetness.]

Yesterday, my mother-in-law called Hyo-ri and asked her and Lee Shenxing to go home to celebrate the winter solstice.
