I kēia lā, ʻo Iune 4 ka lā "Hug Your Cat". ʻO ka manawa kūpono e pūliki hou ai i kā mākou moa. Akā ʻaʻole makemake nā pōpoki a pau i ka pūliki ʻia.
ʻO kēia hulu huluhulu, kēlā mau maka googly, a me kēlā mau wāwae velvety - ʻaʻohe nīnau ʻole ʻia nā pōpoki e like me ke kō. ʻAe, ma ka liʻiliʻi inā ʻaʻole lākou e hoʻolōʻihi i ko lākou mau maiuu. ʻO ia ke kumu e hoʻolauleʻa ai ka poʻe aloha pōpoki ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa i kahi pilina aloha me kā lākou kitties ma ka lā "Hug Your Cat" o kēia lā.
ʻAʻole maikaʻi ka puliki ʻana i nā pōpoki. No ka mea, ʻoiai he hōʻailona o ke ʻano o ke aloha iā kākou nā kānaka, ʻo ka hoʻopili kino ʻana me nā wāwae velvet hiki ke alakaʻi i ke kaumaha. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻoi aku ka paʻa o ka pūliki. A ma ke ʻano he poʻe hahai holoholona, hoʻopili maoli nā pōpoki i kēia manaʻo me ka hopu ʻia ʻana e kahi mea ʻaihue.
ʻO ka mea nui, ʻaʻole pono e ʻapo ʻia nā pōpoki āu i ʻike ʻole ai me ka wiwo ʻole. ʻO kēia ka mea a ka mea lapaʻau Kauka Karen Becker ma kāna blog "Healthy Pets".
Puliki Pono i nā pōpoki
Ma muli o ke ʻano o kāu pōpoki, e hauʻoli ʻo ia i nā pūliki ʻoi aʻe a liʻiliʻi paha. ʻO kekahi mau kitties he ʻoluʻolu loa a ʻimi maoli e pili kokoke i kā lākou kanaka. ʻO nā mea ʻē aʻe, ma kekahi ʻaoʻao, makemake paha e mālama i ko lākou mamao a holo ma mua o ka pūliki ʻana.
Ua hōʻike pū ʻia nā haʻawina ʻoi aku ka makemake o nā pōpoki i ka hoʻopā ʻana i ke kanaka e like me ko lākou mau hoa pōpoki - ʻaʻole ʻo nā pūliki kekahi o lākou. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā kits, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, makemake lākou e ʻoluʻolu ʻia. Hoʻomanaʻo kēia neʻe i ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa like ʻana a nā pōpoki e hoʻopaʻa ai kekahi i kekahi ke makemake a hilinaʻi kekahi i kekahi.
ʻO nā ʻāpana kaulana loa o ke kino no ka mālama ʻana me nā wāwae velvet ʻo ia ka ʻauwae, nā papalina, a ma lalo o nā pepeiao. ʻO kekahi mau kitties, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, paʻakikī ke hoʻopā ʻia ma kahi kokoke i ko lākou huelo a i ʻole ma ka ʻōpū. Manaʻo ka poʻe loea e pili pono ana kēia mau ʻāpana o ke kino i ka hoʻopā ʻana.
Eia kekahi, he wahi pilikia loa ka ʻōpū - inā nahu ka pipi i ka pōpoki i loko o ka ʻōpū, e make koke ia. ʻAʻohe hui a kāu mea aloha e hui pū me kāu pipi, ʻeā?
Me nā mea hoʻopuʻi kiʻi, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka pale ʻana i nā pūliki
Inā makemake kāu pōpoki i ka pūliki a ʻaʻole paha, inā ʻaʻahu ʻo ia i ke koʻi koʻikoʻi a i ʻole i loaʻa iā ia kahi wahi e pale aku ai i nā ʻauʻau a me nā mea maʻi ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e puliki. Ke kuhikuhi nei ka Federal Office for Consumer Protection and Food Safety (BVL) i kēia.
A laila ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ʻaʻole e puliki i ka pōpoki a hoʻopā paha i ke kola. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mālama ʻana i kāu mau pōpoki me nā lāʻau anti-tick a i ʻole nā lāʻau ʻauʻau i ke ahiahi a ʻaʻole lākou e moe me ʻoe ma hope. Inā ʻaʻole, aia ka pilikia o nā hopena ʻaoʻao e like me ka ʻili a i ʻole ka ʻulaʻula o ka ʻili.
