What to Do When Your Cat Goes Missing
Cats escape when you open the door or through unscreened windows/vents. First search the whole house (drawers, under beds) with their favorite treat/toy. If truly out, day one is golden time — they hide within ~50 m, often upward in apartment buildings. Search flat by flat, check cameras, look in bushes at night with a flashlight, and post flyers if day one fails.
What to Do When a Parrot Shivers

I was scratched by a cat half a year ago and it was fine; it never goes outside, so does it have no rabies virus? My dad was scratched too, so he doesn’t need the vaccine either, right?
Whether a cat scratch needs a vaccine depends on bleeding and the cat's health. Indoor cats with no bleeding usually need none, but stray cats warrant immediate vaccination. Rabies incubation ranges widely; safest is vaccination within 24 hours, and if the cat is alive after 10 days, worry less.

How should an adult Bichon be dewormed?
An adult Bichon needs regular internal and external deworming: external about monthly (every 2 months in autumn or winter if mostly indoors), internal every 1 to 3 months, avoiding raw meat and unwashed produce. Dose by weight to avoid poisoning.
My previous cat died of feline distemper; three months later my new cat came home (I disinfected before he arrived but was still worried, so I isolated him in another room).
After a cat dies of distemper, wait about half a year before getting a new one, since the virus survives long in the environment. Disinfect thoroughly with glutaraldehyde-deciquam solution and UV light at least three times, ventilate, and throw away all the old cat's items. Best to bring the new cat home only after it's fully vaccinated.
What to Do When Cat Ringworm Keeps Coming Back
Ringworm that won't go away usually comes from stopping medication too early, a dirty environment, wrong diagnosis, or poor management. Cure it for good by confirming with a skin scrape, keeping the collar on, clipping the fur, medicating a week past clear, disinfecting weekly, isolating other cats, and adding skin-support nutrients.
Why Does Cat Poop Smell So Bad?
Foul-smelling cat stool is usually caused by poor diet, not drinking enough water, parasites, or weak digestion. Switching to a digestible food, encouraging drinking, keeping deworming on schedule, and supporting gut health all help reduce the odor.
