Lapho uthatha ikati, ngokuvamile kuyadingeka ukuthola ibhokisi likadoti. Kodwa-ke, lapho ubhekene nezinhlobo ezahlukene zeziqukathi ezitholakala emakethe, kunzima ukukhetha. Imibuzo bese iphakama mayelana ne-substrate okufanele ibekwe phansi (izinhlamvu ze-litter) kanye nemvamisa yokuhlanza. Nazi ezinye izimpendulo zokuhlinzeka ngezimo zokuqeda ezanelisayo kubalingani bethu bezilwane.

Okokuqala, kufanele kukhunjulwe ukuthi akukhona okwemvelo ukuthi ikati lizikhiphe bese lichamela ebhokisini. Ukuze unciphise ukukhungatheka okungase kubangele ukusetshenziswa kwamabhokisi kadoti, endlini, kuyadingeka ukuba nesithakazelo kulokho okuthandwa yikati lethu. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, ucwaningo oluningi lubonisa ukuthi ubukhulu bebhokisi likadoti libalulekile nokuthi amakati akhetha ukusebenzisa amabhokisi amakhulu kadoti. Ukujula okuthile kubonakala kuthakaselwa ubulongwe.

Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kunamamodeli amabili ahlukene kadoti: udoti ovulekile noma ovaliwe. Kwakwamukelwa ngokuvamile ukuthi amakati akhetha amabhokisi kadoti avulekile. Kodwa-ke, ucwaningo lubonisa ukuthi kukhona izintandokazi zomuntu ngamunye zethangi elilodwa noma olunye, ngaphandle kokuthambekela okuvamile okusebenzayo kuwo wonke amakati. Ngakho-ke kukumnikazi ngamunye ukuhlonza okuthandwa yikati lakhe.

Ukuze uvimbele ukungcola, ngokuvamile kuyadingeka, noma kunjalo, ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ikati ayesabi isembozo, futhi ikakhulukazi umnyango onama-hinged ngokuvamile okhona kumabhokisi kadoti avaliwe. Umsebenzi wokuhlala kancane kancane ungenziwa kulesi simo.

Okokuqala, ukuze uhlele indawo enobungani kakhulu yekati, kunconywa ukuthi ube namabhokisi amaningi kadoti njengoba kunamakati, kanye nebhokisi lodoti elengeziwe. Kungumthetho ka-n + 1 lapho u-n eyinombolo yamakati ekhaya. Isibonelo, uma unamakati angu-2, kunconywa ukuthi uwanikeze amabhokisi kadoti angu-3. Kungenzeka ukushintsha izinhlobo zemfucumfucu (evuliwe noma evaliwe) ukuze unikeze amakati ukukhetha ukusebenzisa lawo awathandayo.

Lapho-ke, indawo lapho ibhokisi likadoti libonakala lidlala indima enkulu ekuheheni kwebhokisi likadoti ekati. Kunalokho kunconywa izindawo ezingazodwa, ezingabonakali futhi ezingabonakali. Kodwa-ke, uma kwenzeka ukwenqaba ukusebenzisa ibhokisi likadoti, lingathuthwa ukuze livumelane nekati ngalinye.

Ikhwalithi ye-udoti substrate ibalulekile ukwenza kabusha isimilo sokuqeda ikati. Wonke ama-substrates atholakala ngokuthengiswa angakhuhla futhi agqibe indle. Nokho, izinga labo futhi ikakhulukazi ikhono labo lokucosha iphunga liyahlukahluka. Ucwaningo oluningi lubonakala lukhombisa ukuthanda amakati kukadoti owenziwe ngama-clumping grains ikakhulukazi ama-litter aphathwa ngamalahle kunokuba kube yilitha elilodwa noma aphathwe nge-baking soda. Ukusetshenziswa kwesifutho esithi “zero iphunga” kudoti kunganciphisa ukubonakaliswa kwenzondo yokulahla udoti emakati.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, amanye ama-litters anephunga elimnandi. Kuleli phuzu, ucwaningo lwakamuva aluzange lubonise noma yikuphi okuthandwayo, emakati, phakathi kwalolu hlobo lwemfucumfucu kanye nemfucumfucu engenalutho.

Kufakazelwa ukuthi amakati akhetha ukusebenzisa ibhokisi likadoti elihlanzekile. Cishe uzobona ikati lakho liya ebhokisini likadoti ngemva nje kokulihlanza. Lokhu kuziphatha bekungeke kuhlotshaniswe kuphela nephunga eliphuma emfucumfucwini ekhona ebhokisini ngakho-ke kuyatuswa ukuwakhipha nsuku zonke ukuze ikati lingaboni ukuthi linqwabelana ebhokisini likadoti. Okokugcina, ukususa izihlalo kanye nezinqwaba zemfucumfucu engcoliswe umchamo akwanele futhi kuyadingeka ukuthulula ngokuphelele udoti ukuhlanza ibhokisi njalo. Ijubane lalokhu kuhlanza lincike kusayizi wethangi kanye nezidingo zekati ngalinye. Ithiphu elilodwa lokukhawulela izingozi ezingcolile ukuhlanza ibhokisi likadoti nge-bleach ngoba iphunga liheha amakati futhi likhuthaze ukuziphatha kwawo kokuqeda.

Ekhaya, ungabheka ikati lakho futhi ukhombe ukuziphatha okuthile okubonisa ukuntula ukwaneliseka ngamabhokisi kadoti anikezwayo. Ngempela, lezi zimpawu mhlawumbe ziyizimpawu zokukhungatheka:

• ukunwaya eduze kwebhokisi likadoti noma izindonga ezingezansi, imizuzu emide, ngaphambi noma ngemva kokuchama nokukhipha indle;
• ukuthatha isikhathi eside ukuchama (isikhathi esithathwa njengesejwayelekile imizuzwana engu-20);
• faka udoti ukuze uphume ngokushesha;
• ukungabaza ukufaka ibhokisi lodoti;
• buyela ebhokisini likadoti ngokuvamile ukuze uhogele indle;
• ukuhambahamba ngesikhathi sokuchama noma ukukhuma;
• uchame noma ukhuphe ngaphandle kwebhokisi lodoti.

Kulezi zimo, izinguquko zingahlongozwa ukuze kukhawulwe lokhu kukhungatheka:

• ukushintsha kwe-substrate;
• ukwandisa imvamisa yokuhlanza;
• ukususwa kwemfucumfucu;
• ukwengeza izingubo zokulala;
• njll

Sengiphetha, kunezici eziningi ezithinta ubudlelwano bamakati nebhokisi lawo likadoti. Uma izintandokazi ezithile zibonakala zithinta wonke amakati (ubukhulu bethangi, ikakhulukazi), ezinye ziyahlukahluka kuye ngabanye. Ngakho-ke ukubheka ikati lakho kuhlala kuwukhiye wokuqinisekisa ukunethezeka okuphelele. Okokugcina, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi ukuphazamiseka komchamo njengokubuyela emuva naphambili ebhokisini likadoti noma ukungcola nokuba nenkinga yokukhipha indle kungaba uphawu lokugula. Udokotela wezilwane uhlala engumxhumanisi wakho onelungelo uma kwenzeka kuba nokudidayo.
