  2. Forget to check the litterbox for the consistency of their stool.
  3. Wait a week to call you veterinarian when your cat has not been eating well.
  4. Apply topical creams to wounds and scratches (please, no polysporin, Bag Balm, or peroxide home remedies!)
  5. Ignore yearly reminders for their annual preventative health exam.
  6. Assume your cat will show it if they are sick.
  7. Treat your cat like a small dog.
  8. Diagnose your cat with Dr. Google’s information.
  9. Choose your cat’s food based on price alone.
  10. Assume a “mean” cat is just naturally like that (Hint: It’s usually fear or pain!)
