Ua hoʻoholo ʻia: Pono ka pōpoki i loko o ka hale! Akā ʻaʻole ʻo ia wale nō. Me ka nui o nā ʻano pōpoki like ʻole, ʻaʻole maʻalahi ke koho. E kōkua kēia mau manaʻo iā ʻoe e hoʻoholo.
ʻAʻole pono e noʻonoʻo ʻia ka hoʻoholo e hāʻawi i ka pōpoki i hale hou. ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻoholo wikiwiki ma ʻaneʻi a i nā manawa he nui e alakaʻi i ka hauʻoli i ke kanaka - a i kahi pōpoki ʻē aʻe e pau ana i ka hale.
No laila ma mua o kou lawe ʻana i kahi pōpoki i kou home, pono ʻoe e nīnau iā ʻoe iho i kekahi mau nīnau:
- ʻEhia ka nui o kaʻu wahi? Hiki iaʻu ke hāʻawi i kaʻu pōpoki palekana palekana a i ʻole kahi hale liʻiliʻi wale nō?
- ʻEhia ka nui o kaʻu manawa? Hiki iaʻu ke mālama i ka pōpoki 24 mau hola o ka lā a i ʻole e pāʻani pū me ia no hoʻokahi hola i ke ahiahi?
- ʻEhia mau manawa e noho kaʻawale ai ka pōpoki? Hele nui au a ma ka home paha i ka hapa nui o ka manawa?
- He aha kaʻu ʻike e pili ana i nā pōpoki? Ua lawa anei koʻu ʻike e pili ana i nā pono o nā pōpoki, nā pono, nā meaʻai, a me ke olakino?
He aha ka ʻano e pono ai ka popoki?
Inā ʻoe e pane pololei i kēia mau nīnau, hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻemi pinepine i nā ʻano pōpoki i kūpono iā ʻoe.
No ka laʻana, inā noho ʻoe i loko o kahi keʻena kūlanakauhale me ka ʻole o ka pā hale a i ʻole ka māla, ʻaʻole paha ʻo ka pōpoki makemake i ke kūʻokoʻa e like me ka Nahele Norwegian, European Shorthair, a i ʻole ka pōpoki home ʻaʻole ia ka pipi kūpono iā ʻoe. ʻAʻole hauʻoli kēia mau holoholona ʻeleu ma kahi keʻena. Akā, kūpono nā pōpoki mālie a me nā kānaka, e like me ka Ragdoll a i ʻole Bombay, e mālama ʻia i loko o nā hale.
ʻOi aku ka paʻakikī o ka mālama ʻana i kekahi mau pōpoki ma mua o nā pōpoki ʻē aʻe. Pono nā pōpoki lauoho lōʻihi, e like me nā Peresia, i ka hoʻomaʻemaʻe nui ʻana i kēlā me kēia lā, ʻo ia hoʻi ke kumu kūʻai o kou manawa.
Manaʻo kōkua: E ʻike nui e pili ana i nā ʻano pōpoki āu e makemake ai a nānā inā hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokō i nā koi kūikawā o kēia mau ʻano.
Hoʻohana i ka popoki a i ʻole ʻelua pōpoki?
Hoʻowahāwahā ka hapa nui o nā pōpoki i ka noho hoʻokahi. Ua lōʻihi loa ka manaʻo he poʻe mehameha nā pōpoki. No laila, inā ʻoe e hana a hoʻokahi wale ka pōpoki, pono e mālama i nā pōpoki ʻoi aku ma mua o hoʻokahi. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o ka lawe ʻana i nā pōpoki ʻelua i launa maikaʻi ma mua o ka launa pū ʻana me ka pōpoki lua ma hope.
ʻO kekahi mau ʻano, e like me ka Siamese a i ʻole Balinese, hauʻoli i ka hoʻolimalima manawa me kā lākou kanaka e like me kā lākou hana me nā ʻano ʻano ʻē aʻe. Pono ʻoe e hōʻiliʻili i kēia manawa inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi pōpoki aloha.
Pili i ka Temperament
ʻOkoʻa loa ke ʻano o nā ʻano pōpoki like ʻole a ʻike ʻia ka ʻokoʻa o ka ʻono o ka poʻe aloha pōpoki. Eia naʻe, i ka hopena, ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e koho i kahi pōpoki nani ke nānā aku, akā kūpono kona ʻano iā ʻoe.
Inā noho ʻoe i loko o kahi ʻohana a makemake ʻoe e puni i nā poʻe he nui, ʻo kahi pōpoki ʻālohilohi a hiki ke hoʻololi ʻia e like me Selkirk Rex, ka Ocicat, a i ʻole Singapore ʻo kāu koho maikaʻi loa.
ʻO nā pōpoki ʻē aʻe, ʻo ia hoʻi ka Korat, ka Snowshoe, a me ka Nebelung, ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, makemake lākou i ka noho mālie a no laila ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka poʻe e alakaʻi nei i kahi ola noho me ka ʻole o ka pilikia a puni ka hale.
ʻO nā pōpoki poʻo e like me ka Balinese a i ʻole ka Russian Blue ʻaʻole nā pōpoki novice. Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i ʻike me nā tigers hale liʻiliʻi, pono ʻoe e koho i kahi ʻano affable, e like me ka German Angora a i ʻole ka RagaMuffin.
ʻO ka mea hope akā ʻaʻole ka mea liʻiliʻi, pono ʻoe e hoʻokomo i ka nui o nā pōpoki pākahi i kāu noʻonoʻo. Makemake ʻoe i kahi pōpoki kamaʻilio nui iā ʻoe? A laila, ʻo ka Hikina kamaʻilio e like me ka Siamese a i ʻole ka Sokoke e hauʻoli maoli ʻoe. Eia nō naʻe, inā pilikia ʻoe i ka meowing mau a me ka meowing, pono ʻoe e koho i kahi pōpoki Devon Rex a i ʻole Siberian pōpoki.
ʻO kahi koho i ʻike maikaʻi ʻia e pale i nā pilikia
ʻAʻole paʻakikī ke koho ʻana i kahi pōpoki ma muli wale nō o kāna "mea nani". Inā ʻoe e noʻonoʻo i nā mea koʻikoʻi a pau - ke ākea, ka manawa, ke kaiapuni, ke ʻano, ka leo - ʻaʻole maʻalahi ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi pōpoki kūpono. Akā ʻo ka manawa āu e hoʻokomo ai i kahi koho i noʻonoʻo maikaʻi ʻia o ka pōpoki pono ia. Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ka pōpoki kūpono no ʻoe a me kou kūlana ola, e lilo koke ʻoe a me kāu holoholona i mau hoaaloha maikaʻi - a noho mau no ke ola.
ʻO nā pōpoki kiʻekiʻe i loko o nā keʻena liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi a i ʻole nā pōpoki mālie i loko o kahi ʻohana nui walaʻau - ʻo ia ʻano hui pū ʻana hiki ke manaʻo ʻaʻole ʻo ka mea nona wale nō akā ua hauʻoli koke ka holoholona. ʻO kekahi mau pōkiʻi hoʻi me ka huhū a me ka manaʻoʻole i ke kūlana "hewa". ʻAʻole ʻoe e hauʻoli hou me ia pōpoki, ʻaʻole pili i kona nani.
Makemake ʻoe i kahi pōpoki ʻāina a i ʻole kahi pōpoki Pedigree?
Ke koho ʻana i ka pōpoki, kōkua inā ʻike ʻoe i nā ʻano āu e makemake ai i kāu pōpoki a me nā holoholona e hōʻike iā lākou.
Ua loiloi ʻia kahi noiʻi pilikino a ka hui Pelekane ʻo Feline Advisory Bureau (FAB) i nā pane o nā mea nona ka home a me nā pōpoki e hōʻike i nā ʻano hiʻohiʻona o nā holoholona. Me he mea lā e lanakila mau ana ka ʻāhiu maoli o ka pōpoki i ka wā ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia ka hānau ʻana:
- ʻOi aku ka makemake o nā ʻīlio huikau a me nā pōpoki home i ka hahai holoholona ma mua o ko lākou ʻohana hanohano. Hoʻokahi manawa a me ka hapa ko lākou hahai ʻana i nā pōpoki pedigree.
- Hōʻike pinepine nā pōpoki home i "nā aʻalolo" i ʻelua mau manawa ma mua o ko lākou ʻohana hānai, a i ka wā e pili ana i nā pōpoki a me nā keiki ʻē aʻe.
- ʻOi aku ka mālama ʻia ʻana o nā pōpoki home ma mua o nā pōpoki hānai, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻoi aku ka palua o ka hoʻomāinoino.
- ʻO ka pono o ka mālama ʻana i nā pōpoki pili pū i ko lākou ʻano. ʻO ka hapalua o nā pōpoki a pau i loko o ka noiʻi makemake i ka palaki ʻia. Eia nō naʻe, pili nā pōpoki hale maʻamau i ka hui i makemake e pale i ka pulupulu. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, makemake nā pōpoki pedigree, e like me ka Birman a i ʻole Siamese, i nā lomilomi nui inā e maʻa mua lākou.
Nā Kittens Mahiʻai: Nā ʻōpio hihiu piha i ka ikehu
Nui nā pipi i hānai ʻia a hūnā pono ʻia e ka pōpoki hele hewa e hānai ʻia e ko lākou makuahine e pale aku i nā kānaka. Huhū lākou i ka wā e hoʻāʻo ai ka mea hoʻopakele e hānai iā lākou, e hakakā no ko lākou ola ke lawe lākou i ka lāʻau lapaʻau, e kīkī i ka hīnaʻi lawe a hoʻokuʻu i ko lākou mau lima a me ka umauma i ko lākou mau maiuu ʻōpio ikaika a me nā niho ʻoi loa.
Pono ka hoʻomanawanui a hiki i ka haʻalele mua ʻana o kēlā ʻōpio ʻōpio iā ia iho i ka hopena, a laila me ke aloha, hope loa e ʻae ʻia kona ʻāʻī me ka ʻoluʻolu. Akā, pono nā hana a pau. No ka mea, ma ke ʻano he pope popoki, ua noiʻi ʻo Paul Leyhausen i 50 mau makahiki i hala: ʻAʻole ʻae nā Kittens i ko lākou makuahine e kauoha i nā mea āpau. ʻOiai ka lōʻihi o ka hiki ʻana o ko lākou makuahine, ʻauheʻe lākou mai ke kanaka ke kāhea ʻia.
Akā, i ka hala 'ana o ka makuahine, 'o ka 'imi 'ana o ke keiki, ka ho'ā'o 'ana i nā ala hou, a me ka ho'ā'o 'ana i ke kaiapuni no ke "kōkua ola" e hui pū me ka 'ano a'o. ʻO kēia pū kekahi me ka mea nāna ia i hoʻokomo iā ia. ʻOi aku ka nāwaliwali o kona kūʻē ʻana i kāna mālama ʻana, a ʻaʻole lākou e lilo i pōpoki akamai inā ʻaʻole lākou e ʻike koke e hiki i nā hoa wāwae ʻelua ke hoʻomaʻamaʻa iā ʻoe i 24/7.
Eia nō naʻe, he mea nui ka noho ʻana o nā pipi me ko lākou makuahine a me ko lākou mau kaikunāne no ka liʻiliʻi loa he 12 pule i mea e aʻo ai i nā ʻano pōpoki maʻamau. Inā hoʻoholo ʻoe e lawe i kahi pipi mai ka mahiʻai mai, e koi aku e hopu ʻia ka pōpoki makuahine, nānā ʻia a hoʻopaʻa ʻia.
ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o nā pōpoki ʻālau ma mua o nā pōpoki puna inā ʻaʻole lākou e hānai pono ʻia a mālama ʻia a mālama ʻia paha i waho i waho o ka makahiki me ka ʻole o kahi mehana e hiamoe ai.
