They are solitary and live alone except during the breeding season.

In the alpine bare rock areas and spruce forests on shady slopes, due to the lack of plants, the number of rodents is rare. So there is no trace of it. In areas such as cypress sparse forests and alpine shrubs, where there are good food and hiding conditions and a large number of rodents, traces of their activities, such as footprints, shed hair balls, food remains and feces, are very common.

In autumn, various rodents invade the naturally dry wheat piles in rural fields. Some dig tunnels from the ground and extend under the wheat sheaves, pulling wheat ears and stems into the tunnels.

In winter, when the temperature is low and the ground is freezing, desert cats go to the edge of the cliff at night to prey on finches, chickens and other small and medium-sized birds. However, excessively deep snow often affects the activities of rodents, causing a shortage of food for desert cats. Sometimes they are forced to move near residential areas and steal poultry. Most male animals live in such caves. It also has a habit of reusing old nests.

Cat-scratch disease
cat-scratch disease
An acute infectious disease mainly caused by domestic cats scratching or biting people. The disease is benign and self-limiting, and most patients recover within 2 to 3 months. First reported in 1950.
The pathogen is unknown. Some people have found Gram-negative bacilli in skin scratches and swollen lymph nodes. They can be isolated with special culture media and may be the cause of the disease. Some people also believe that the pathogen is a virus, but the virus has not been isolated using chicken embryos, tissue culture and animal inoculation. Some people also believe that the pathogen is chlamydia. About 90% of patients get the disease from scratches, bites or licks from domestic cats. A few patients can also get sick from being scratched or bitten by dogs. The disease mostly occurs in autumn and winter. There is long-lasting immunity after illness, and reinfection is rare.
The incubation period of cat scratch disease is generally 2 to 6 weeks. The skin at the scratch or bite site may be inflamed, painful, and may suppurate; local lymph nodes may be swollen and tender, and in a few patients the lymph nodes may become suppurated and may rupture to form sinus tracts; there may also be mild generalized lymph node enlargement and splenomegaly; approximately 1/3 of patients may develop fever, with body temperature between 38 and 41°C, accompanied by headache, general malaise, etc.; a few patients develop congestive maculopapular rash, nodular or multiforme erythema 3 to 10 days after illness; some patients have Conjunctivitis and conjunctival granuloma, accompanied by preauricular lymph node enlargement, is called Parrino's eye-node syndrome; patients may also develop encephalitis, meningitis, myelitis, polyneuritis, thrombocytopenic purpura, Osteomyelitis, etc.; the total number of white blood cells and neutrophils in peripheral blood increased slightly, and the erythrocyte sedimentation rate increased rapidly.
Diagnostic basis: history of being scratched or bitten by a cat; typical clinical manifestations such as skin inflammation and suppuration at the scratched site, local lymphadenopathy and fever; positive Hanger-Ross skin test; lymph node biopsy, The disease is diagnosed by the presence of reticulocyte hyperplasia and necrotizing granulomatous lesions.
There is no specific treatment, and symptomatic treatment is the main one. Antipyretic and analgesic drugs can be used to reduce fever and relieve pain; when lymph nodes are suppurating, puncture and extraction of pus can be done to reduce fever and systemic poisoning symptoms; incision and drainage are not suitable. To avoid fistula formation; antibiotics can be used in case of secondary infection. To prevent this disease, you should avoid being scratched and bitten by cats.
