Milk cats cannot eat mints because all cats lack the 247 base pairs that make up the amino acids that make up the second gene. This also leads to the fact that dairy cats cannot taste sweetness. At the same time, mint candies can easily get stuck in the throat of nursing cats, causing serious consequences. It is recommended not to feed mint candies normally.

1. Calm down first

When a cat is stuck on candy, the owner should first Calm down, let the cat's neck relax, and remove the collar if there is one. Then open the cat's mouth, pull out the tongue, and see if the candy stuck in the throat can be seen with the naked eye. If you can see the sugar, try taking it out with your hands or tweezers.

2. Shake in the air

If the cat is stuck in the candy and you can't tell where it is, you can grab the cat's hind legs, then put its head down and shake it in the air.

3. Heimlich maneuver

If it takes too long on the way to the pet hospital, the owner can also use the Heimlich maneuver to treat foreign bodies in the airway. The most effective first aid technique for suffocation caused by obstruction. The owner should first hold the cat in his arms, then make fists with both hands and place them in the depression under the cat's chest, and then press inward and upward quickly about 5 times, so that the stuck candy can be pushed out with the help of thrust.
