：When those cat owners bring their baby kitten back home, they may think that milk should be the best food for their baby kitten, since they are fed by their mother cat after born. In fact, many cats may have diarrhea after drinking milk or dairy products ～～～

	Liver： Small amounts of liver are fine to eat, but if fed too often it can result in Vitamin A toxicosis.
Milk： While this won't kill your cat, some cats are lactose intolerant & drinking cow's milk will cause a tummy upset.  Weaned cats no longer need to drink milk, however if you do want to give your cat some milk as an occasional treat them the best solution is to buy some cat milk from your pet shop.
	MSG： Cats are sensitive to MSG, food sensitivity reaction will occur within 48 hours. Symptoms similar to epileptic seizures.
Mushrooms： There are many types of mushrooms which are poisonous. While dogs are far more likely to eat mushrooms than cats, it is advised you avoid giving your cats any type of mushrooms to be on the safe side.

延續去年百年結婚潮，加上今年是龍年，一定有許多新手爸媽等著迎接新生命，其中也絕對不乏有養寵物的貓奴狗奴們。你們是和我一樣，保持平常心繼續開心當個貓奴，還是已經開始擔心寵物會影響寶寶和媽媽的健康，準備送走貓咪狗兒呢？

為了解開各位新手爸媽的疑惑，Grace將我最常被問到問題寫下來，提供給大家參考，如果還有其他疑問，也都歡迎大家留言給我！

1.Grace懷孕期間，有清貓砂嗎？

答：不管是懷小P的時候，還是這次，現在寶寶38周了，我還是盡量自己清貓砂，當作運動，也順便觀察貓咪是否有正常排便。清完貓砂，我會立即洗手。

2.Grace懷孕期間，還是繼續讓貓咪上床，一起睡覺嗎？

答：KIKI和BUBU每天都在家，也沒有跳蚤，反而是經常出門的我們，容易帶病菌或髒汙回家，所以只要我把居家環境打掃乾淨了，不管有沒有懷孕，我都讓KIKI 和BUBU 上床陪我睡覺。

3.貓毛會不會容易讓小朋友有過敏體質？

答：我懷小P的時候，家裡除了KIKI，我還開始中途BUBU，後來到小P出生，我們從月子中心回家後，他們就共同生活在一個屋簷下，小P現在已經快五歲了，沒有氣喘，也不是過敏體質，三歲多開始去上托兒所也很少生病或被傳染感冒，和其他媽媽比較討論之下，我發現小P比其他小朋友不容易感冒的原因應該是喝母奶和不挑食的關係。除此之外，小P在我身體裡就和貓生活在一起，多少也有提高她對付過敏源的抵抗力。

4.不怕貓咪身上有容易讓孕婦流產的弓漿蟲或其他會影響寶寶健康的寄生蟲嗎？

答：KIKI和BUBU都吃飼料和我親自烹調的食物，不吃生肉，生食也沒有飲用不乾淨的水，自然體內就沒有有弓漿蟲，另外，他們每年打預防針的時候，我都會順便再請醫生幫他們做健康檢查，所以，我很確定他們都很健康，不會影響到我和寶寶的健康。

5.貓咪會不會和寶寶爭寵甚至去抓傷寶寶呢？

答：其實寶寶剛回家的時候，貓咪會先觀察這個新物種，膽子大的會觀察一陣子以後再慢慢靠近，膽子小的則是躲的遠遠的，而且基本上貓咪和狗兒對寶寶的容忍度遠比我們大人想像中的高，我反而都是擔心寶寶對貓咪太好奇，在對貓咪上下其手的時候，不懂得拿捏立力道，硬把貓咪的毛整把給扯下來呢！

6.怎麼清理床上的貓毛和掉的到處的貓砂？

答：多幫貓咪梳毛，多打掃，小孩睡覺的地方特別注意清潔，貓砂盆我放在陽台，選擇粗砂，並且在進室內的入口處放張室外地墊，盡量減少貓砂進屋的機會。

7.一邊養貓，一邊還要照顧寶寶會不會很辛苦，甚至兩者無法兼顧呢？

答：我只有養兩隻貓，而且他們是成貓很健康，如果真的很忙，每天也只要定時餵食換水和清理貓砂即可，（這些事情我到懷孕後期，會開始請老公代勞，慢慢讓他分擔家事）或許有些新手媽媽可能因為產後憂鬱，覺得無法兼顧育兒和照顧貓咪事，而打算送走貓咪，但辛苦的育兒生活會慢慢的進入佳境，不知所措的時候，摸摸貓咪，其實很有撫慰心靈的效果，而且重點是育兒不是媽媽一個人的責任，一定要和爸爸一起分擔才有意義。

8.如果長輩堅持要把貓咪送走，那該怎麼辦？

答：其實很簡單，就是和老公達成共識，據理力爭堅持絕不送走貓咪，努力把小孩照顧好，不落人口實。我個人的經驗是媽媽叫我送走貓咪，我就搬出老公這張擋箭牌。

9.養貓會導致不孕嗎？

答：現代人不孕的因素有很多，除了壓力大之外，原因大多是因為體質虛寒而不容易受孕，若是沒有經過醫生的詳細檢查就把不孕的原因這個大帽子扣在沒有表達能力的寵物身上，實在很不合理也有失公平。

10.養貓對小孩的好處有哪些？

答：我覺得最直接的好處就是能養成孩子有愛心和責任感，貓咪同時也是一種生活的潤滑劑。但是，不要過度增加貓口，最好以三隻為限，貓口過多容易造成經濟負擔，影響生活品質，也比較無法立即發現貓咪身體上的不適，給予立即的治療。

現代人求子若渴，雖然資訊發達，但是老人家對於寵物的傳統觀念還是根深蒂固，所以，我只能奉勸各位貓奴，一定要在婚前和另外一半以及雙方父母溝通清楚並且堅持自己的立場，千萬不要因為自己的無知或長輩的壓力，就隨意棄養你曾經視為家人的寵物，這樣的讓步並不會使你的婚姻生活從此踏上平坦的道路，反而是在幫你的孩子造孽，而且你也會在遺棄寵物的陰影下遺憾終身。

【英文類】Missey is fairy dog-mother to litter of rescue kittens (News)

【貓貓資料分類】 >> 【英文資料類】

An RSPCA rescue dog who was hand reared as a puppy is repaying the favor by caring for a litter of kittens saved from being drowned in a drain.

Four shivering week-old kittens were brought into our Hull and East Riding Animal Centre soaking wet and wrapped in a towel by an animal lover who had stopped three youths from dropping them into a drainage ditch.

Staff at the center leapt into action to save the tiny black kittens giving them intensive round-the-clock care with bottle feeds every three hours.

When animal care assistant, Carina McLean, took the kittens home with her at night her pet dog Missey decided to lend a paw too.

Four-year-old Missey, a crossbreed, was bottle-fed by RSPCA staff when her mother rejected her as a puppy. She was taken in by Carina when she was just six weeks old.

Carina said:

"Missey has taken a real shine to them. She cleans them, giving them a good lick all over, a nice wash and brush up.

"She is like a surrogate mum to them. She doesn't mind that they are kittens, she was hand reared herself so she's repaying the favour."

The kittens, two males and two females, were rushed into the animal centre on Wednesday, 26 October by a man who had spotted three youths about to drop them into a drainage ditch.

Receptionist Amanda Nightingale said:

He walked through the door clutching a bundle. Inside the towel was four kittens.

They were wet and quite dirty. They were so small they didn't have their eyes open.

The man was very upset. He said he had seen three youths trying to drown them. Fortunately he managed to take the kittens off them.

They were really, really lucky. If they had gone into the water they would have died.

When they were first brought in the kittens weighed just 150g.

But thanks to the round-the-clock care from centre staff and Missey the dog, they have doubled their weight over the past five weeks.

Now six weeks old, the gorgeous black kittens have been named after X Factor judges Louis, Gary, Kelly and Tulisa!

They will be ready for rehoming soon once they have put on a bit more weight and been vaccinated and neutered.
