Cats love mice. These are fairy tales. The real prey of cats is birds, but there is an insurmountable gap between what runs on the ground and what flies in the sky. Catching rats is just a means that we have to do in order to survive.
Cats are very strong in survival ability and are used to being alone, and there are countless cases of fighting for food on the site. Because of the rough life, the strong vigilance against things makes them attack and cause accidental injuries. This image of a cat is what China people first recognized.
Gradually, the word “pet cat” became popular, and the variety of cats came into view like stars. People began to accept cats, but they were still less popular than dogs, especially black cats, which were considered as ominous.
In particular, the sudden behavior of some cats makes the elderly firmly believe in the danger of cats. In fact, as long as the cat’s heart activities, you can understand these abnormal behaviors of cats and remove misunderstandings:
1. A hunched back, a vertical tail and a growl in the throat are signs of anger and a precursor to attack. A growl represents a warning that if you don’t keep your distance, you will be listed as an attack target.
2. Mouth wide open, beard trembling, accompanied by strange howling, is a warning to danger.
Cats’ hearing is three times that of humans, and their sense of smell is as high as 200,000-270,000 times, so they can detect abnormalities more keenly than humans. There is a real investigation response. A few weeks or months before the earthquake, the cat will have a strange reaction of excessive excitement or panic, which is tantamount to a signal for help.
3. Pupil shrinkage, accompanied by increased tail flick radian, is in an excited state.
This phenomenon often appears in playing with cats, and it is pitiful to be caught with scars.
At first, a friend of mine misunderstood this phenomenon as a cat’s refusal to touch her, but I didn’t know it was just a way of expressing friendship and playing with people as if they were the same kind.
Cats only have the IQ of 2-3 years old, so they can’t think. This kind of subconscious behavior is like the psychology of human children frolicking with each other.
Even so, cats are far less clever than two or three-year-old children. The hunter’s blood in their bodies makes it difficult for them to obey discipline. Irreversible scratching habits have brought devastating harm to many families.
Therefore, the “sharp weapon” is generally cut off by polishing the nails. As everyone knows, cats communicate by grinding their claws, and sharp enough claws are the guarantee of their wild life.
Therefore, in the living environment of keeping cats at home, at least one climbing frame and appropriate space should be arranged so that cats can learn to use climbing frames, which can obviously reduce the damage of cats to furniture and will not affect their hobbies.
Because cats are poor at learning, they usually need to be taught at least three times to impress them. If you commit another crime, you need to teach patiently, and don’t be too aggressive, angry, reprimanded, beaten and scolded.
This will not work, but will increase the cat’s resistance, and the consequences will be more serious.
However, cats are not all shortcomings. Scientific experiments have proved that people will unconsciously relax, relieve their emotions and effectively reduce their stress while stroking cats. There are also data showing that among cat owners, there are very few people suffering from hypertension. You know, this is a very common disease in the elderly.
When touching a cat, we also pay attention to the ways and means-there are three H points of the cat, the position of the chin, the head and the tail root. Stroking or gently scratching these three places along the hair will make the cat feel happy and more docile, which is conducive to cultivating the feelings between the cat and the pet owner.
Then, from the following activities, we can see what is the relationship between you and your cat:
1. When you leave the cat’s sight, it will consciously follow behind;
2. If you sit still for a long time, the cat will find a place close to you to sleep;
Every night, the cat will sneak up on your bed, sleep at the head of the bed or at the end of the bed, and then leave quietly at dawn the next day.
4. When stroking the cat, you can obviously hear the purr, which proves that you are in a happy mood and easy to contact. If you show your belly for touching, it is already proof that the cat trusts you.
5. When you turn around suddenly, you will find that the cat has been secretly watching you.
This is because, after familiarity generates trust, cats will unconsciously want to be closer to their pet owners.
Earlier, I heard a friend tell an interesting story about him and his cat. Now I will tell it-at that time, he had a male cat, and the cat was even more arrogant in character. Although he always approached my friend, he quickly fled when his friend approached him actively, which made my friend wonder whether the cat hated him.
Call it or touch it, but always ignore it. However, I saw my friend come close to me every time he got up or just got home.
Before entering the toilet, he squatted quietly at the door, and after a while, his good friend came out, and then he swept his tail and left coldly. If he stays inside for a long time, the cat will inevitably scratch the door and scratch the wall, yelling.
The family is surprised to see this scene too much. They often tease my friend and say that the cat is worried that he will fall into the toilet and can’t get out, so he is waiting at the door.
At first, my friend didn’t believe me, but this time passed quickly for two years. During this time, he often came to communicate with me. I think I know that kind of cat very well now.
It seems disdainful to sweep its tail lightly, but it is actually a sign of relaxation. The indifference revealed, but when a friend stroked his chin, he narrowed his eyes lazily.
Different cats have different personalities. Biting is not necessarily injury, and howling does not mean disgust.
If you want to really understand the cat’s psychology, you must obey its mind. The cat’s territorial consciousness and possessiveness are very strong, and only in the process of following it can we explore more cat’s psychological activities little by little.
Among them, the cat’s territorial consciousness must be sensed by the pet owner who keeps the cat. When the cat enters the new environment, it will quickly crown its own smell here. Such as rubbing the wall with your body, rubbing furniture with your cheeks, and grabbing things with your nails.
This is because there is a special odor gland in the cat’s chin, which releases a natural pheromone. Cats rely on this pheromone to mark their territory. Cats like to be scratched on the chin, which is also a sign of swearing sovereignty.
This pheromone is especially important for cats. Although humans can’t smell it, they use it to identify newcomers. While smelling this pheromone, it will also make cats feel happy and relaxed.
Among them, rubbing walls and furniture is just a way, and some cats even jump on the pet owner’s bed to pee, leaving a more obvious and strong smell.
Often when this happens, you must take immediate action. It is best to grab the bag while the cat urinates. You can increase the volume appropriately to make the cat realize that his behavior is wrong.
However, this behavior of cats comes from nature, which is generally difficult to get rid of, and is mainly aimed at attracting female cats’ hearts in order to release their hormones after estrus. The stronger the smell, the more female cats will be attracted, and at the same time, other male cats will be warned not to break into its territory. In this regard, pet owners must relax their mentality and patiently persuade, because beating and scolding cats can’t play any role in reality.
But there is another problem that is more serious than urinating-if your cat has some abnormal behavior, please make sure to correct it in time. That is, to protect food.
This kind of behavior is rarely seen in cats that have been raised since childhood, but in nature, protecting food is an instinctive reaction. I often hear wild cats howling downstairs, which is extremely lethal and dangerous. They are fighting for food and territory. The defeated cat can only whine and run away, and the victorious cat will bark triumphantly for a long time.
Even after such a cat is adopted, it is difficult to abandon this habit immediately. Often in the process of eating, I will subconsciously encircle the food under my body with a protective posture and warn others to stay away with a low howl.
If at this time, a naive pet owner wants to approach and appease it, he is bound to be drenched with blood from fangs and claws. Because the cat at this time is no less lethal than a small beast.
Of course, this is enough to show that it doesn’t trust you enough. After thinking that the pet owner poses a threat to it, it will beat its opponent at all costs.
Pet owners can tentatively feed on their hands first, let the cat approach actively, and repeat it several times to reduce the cat’s vigilance.
The second step is to let the cat get used to having someone next to him when eating, just keep a proper distance and express that he is not attacking with a friendly voice.
If it is determined that the other person is not enough to pose a danger to himself, the cat will gradually get rid of the habit of protecting food.
Pay special attention to, in the process of correction, you must be patient enough, and you must not be violent to the cat or rob it horizontally. Cats can be said to be typical of eating soft but not hard, and the more relaxed they are, the more obvious the effect will be.
In daily life, if you want to quickly enhance your feelings with cats, you can use toys and snacks to achieve twice the result with half the effort. Feeding them daily and eradicating their excrement can also achieve the effect of relaxing vigilance and generating trust.
Because in the cat’s eye, these behaviors of the pet owner are a very unabashed please. This makes the cat’s self-centered psychology satisfied and happy, while maintaining arrogance and wanting to be close to the pet owner.
