1. A cat that has just been brought home or bought may be very scared because it is not used to the new environment. It may meow incessantly and try to run away. Therefore, appropriate measures should be taken to help the cat adapt to the new environment and prevent it from running away.

2. Newly arrived cats are best kept in a cage, with the cage door tightly closed. If a cage is unavailable, they can be kept in a cat bed, but a mesh cover must be placed over it and secured firmly. Fresh food and water should be provided in the cat cage or cat bed, and you should check on them frequently. Once the cat stops meowing excessively and instead licks its fur, it indicates that the cat feels safe and is no longer afraid. At this point, the owner can play with the cat through the cage to familiarize themselves with the cat and build a bond. After 3-4 days, the cat can be released, and it will have adapted to its environment and stopped meowing and running around.

3. Some cats like to crawl into their owner's bed to sleep, which is a bad habit because some feline diseases, such as ringworm and toxoplasmosis, can easily be transmitted to humans. Therefore, it is necessary to train cats not to sleep on the bed.
