My cat has quite a story. The protagonist is named Pikachu.
At first, this little cat was actually a stray. A friend of mine accidentally found it under a car in the community. The kitten was about one month old at that time. Out of love and affection, my friend took it home to raise.
My friend’s family seems to have never raised a pet before. Suddenly having a cat at home, and what’s more, since this cat was a stray before, it was timid and not affectionate towards people. The elders in the family were reluctant.
After raising it for about two months, my friend had an argument with her brother about the cat. She called me crying, asking me to deal with the cat. I went to pick it up that night. As soon as we met, it made all kinds of angry “woof – woof” sounds. It was really timid. Looking at the pictures, I think you can feel its sense of grievance:
It was really panicking.
……
This picture shows it looking quite aloof.
At that time, I planned to keep the cat at my home temporarily. I posted on Moments and Xianyu, hoping to give it away for free. After about half a month, I finally got in touch with a guy in the city who was willing to take it. However, this guy made an appointment with me three times in ten days to pick up the cat, but each time he said something unexpected came up and we had to reschedule. The last time, I was really angry. I sent him a scolding message in WeChat, and then blocked him. After this incident, I decided to take good care of it myself.
This is how I started my cat – raising experience. I’ll talk about the process of raising the cat later.
After all, tabby cats are domestic cats, and they definitely have better physical resistance than pet cats. They are really easy to raise. But their clingy nature can’t compare with that of pet cats. They are aloof. However, there are exceptions to this personality. I think it mainly depends on the growth environment and genetics.
My cat is very shy around strangers. It runs away quickly when it sees them. My cat – raising experience should be helpful to those who also raise stray cats. I usually keep the cat in my small room. In the first two months of raising it, it wouldn’t let me touch it at all. It ran away really fast. At first, the cat – raising experience was really bad.
It just stayed in a small corner of the room.
If I tried to catch it, it would climb to a high place and not come down.
When raising a cat with such a personality, you must have a good temper. You need to be patient, patient, and more patient. Believe that with your careful care, the cat will gradually trust you. Never hit it (although I hit my cat once because it always hid from me, and I really regret it). When the cat can accept you touching it, it won’t be long before it becomes clingy to you. Usually, when you get off work and have nothing to do, petting the cat will make it trust you more. When it’s cold, take some warming measures for its nest, which will also deepen its impression of you. The moment the cat trusts you, you’ll really feel that raising a cat is more interesting than raising a dog. It’s suitable for a lazy guy like me, and it’s very worry – free.
After raising it for about three months, the cat was finally not afraid of me and would come to me on its own. It would sit under my chair, and I was very happy.
It’s lost a bit of weight, right? Hahaha
You can choose cat food and cat litter according to your own preferences. The price depends on your personal financial situation. All these things happened in the first half of last year. Now this little cutie is very obedient at home. If there’s interest, I’ll update more. I’ve been writing for over an hour. After all, I’m a lazy guy.
The cat has grown up.
