As a cat slave, are you often worried about how to better care for and care for your kitten? Raising a cat is not just about providing food and shelter, but also about the cat's behavioral habits and psychological needs. Today, let’s discuss behaviors that may make cats feel painful and see if you become a real cat owner!
First type: Forced hugs and kisses
Cats are independent animals and they do not like to be forced hugs or kisses. This close contact may leave the cat feeling bound and unable to escape, resulting in stress and anxiety. The right way is to respect the cat's personal space and give appropriate touch and interaction when they actively approach you.
The second type: Bathing too frequently
Cats are born to like cleanliness, and they spend a lot of time licking their hair to keep it clean. Taking too much bathing can damage the natural protective layer of the cat's skin and easily cause skin diseases and infections. Generally, it is enough to take a bath once a month, unless the cat is particularly dirty or has special needs.
The third type: Ignoring the social needs of cats
Although cats do not need as much social interaction as dogs, they still need some attention and communication. Long-term neglect of cats’ social needs can lead to anxiety, depression, and even behavioral problems. As a master, you should spend some time every day playing and communicating with your cats to meet their emotional needs.
The fourth type: Inappropriate diet
provides cats with inappropriate diet, such as human food, expired food or inferior cat food, which may cause digestive system problems in cats and even lead to more serious health problems. Choosing high-quality cat food suitable for cat age and health is a part of the cat's raising process.
Fifth type: Inappropriate toys
Some toys and decorations may cause harm or discomfort to the cat. For example, toys with small parts may be swallowed by cats, causing clogged digestive tracts; while some sharp edges may scratch cats' skin. Choosing safe and durable toys and decorations suitable for cats to play is an important measure to protect their health and safety.
The sixth type: improper environmental layout
Inappropriate environmental layout can also make cats feel uncomfortable. For example, crowded spaces may cause cats to feel stressed and uneasy; lack of adequate space for activities and rest may affect cats’ physical and mental health. Given cat habits and needs, a reasonable environmental layout should provide them with sufficient activity space, seating areas and privacy protection.
