The 12 things cats hate the most, we should try our best to avoid doing these things to our cats in our daily lives
1. Presumably you also have this experience, the master’s ears suddenly stood up and stretched out lazily, staring at somewhere with a stupid face, but when the shoveling officers looked at the cat’s gaze, they often couldn’t find anything, believe me, you will soon hear the sound of the key inserted into the door lock and turned. In fact, it is because cats hear much better than us and can hear some sounds that we can’t hear. Not only can owners hear lower-pitched sounds that cat slaves can’t hear, they are more sensitive to high pitches.
Many shoveling officials complain that their cat door always ignores their calls, don’t blame them, largely because, when they first came up with a name, they made a mistake, try a name with a high pitch, they will love you more!
Pink and tender cat ears are very sensitive, not only far beyond humans in terms of hearing, but even much stronger than dogs, magical little ears, like a direction finder for sound, like radar to accurately target the sound sourcePositioning! Cat ears with well-developed muscles can rotate 180 degrees and collect more and wider range of sound waves. Do you still remember when you petted the cat, you couldn’t put it down with the small opening of the cat’s ears, these structures are to help the cat better obtain and distinguish sounds. In the realm of sound, cats share the same world as us, but they also have another parallel world with lower and higher tones, two-legged beasts, admit it, as mortals, cat slaves can never feel the exact same world as cats.
Share your story with your snack shop about high pitches
Sounds that we can’t stand, such as thunder and firecrackers, will have a greater impact on cats. It may cause the pets to have a stress reaction, and even run away or even get lost. There are even studies that suggest that high-pitched tones can trigger epilepsy in cats (the most common triggers include scratching foil, tapping porcelain bowls and glass with metal spoons), which are more common in older cats. So in addition to trying your best to do a good job in anti-noise measures, when getting along with cats every day, you should also speak softly and don’t yell! Because it only causes stress, anxiety, and stress. After all, you are gentle, and you are more lovable, not to mention to cute kittens. The sound of sirens, noisy music and singing, the hair dryer vacuum cleaner we use or even the ringtone of our mobile phone in daily life are not the sounds that cats like
2. The cat’s favorite temperature is 20°C, which is much higher than the ideal temperature for humans. Do you always think that cats shed their cat coats only once a year to help them keep out the cold, but on the contrary, cats have hair all over their bodies to protect their delicate skin from exposure to extremely high temperatures, after all, they are active in the desert all year round. I still remember buying a cat climbing frame for the cat before, worried that the cat would be hot in the summer, so I deliberately chose a solid wood cat climbing frame, and as a result, I began to play on it for a few days, and I thought carefully about consulting the factory where the cat climbing frame was exported, different from the trees in nature, too smooth surface, and the temperature of the wood was short, which was also the reason why they didn’t like it, no wonder the export cat climbing frame was made of flannel.
Cat in the sun
We often see cats in the sun, lazily basking in the sun, and when feeding stray cats, sleepy cats stretch out in the sun, waiting for us to feed. So what about domestic cats, how can we provide them with them! Imagine a cat falling asleep on her favorite cardboard box in the afternoon, on the balcony, and as the sun goes down, the cat moves to the cardboard box
The normal body temperature of cats is 38.0°C-39.5°C, which is higher than the normal body temperature of us humans. The cat’s temperature is to insert the thermometer into the rectum through the anus, usually insert 1/3 of the thermometer, the kitten can insert the mercury head, the ordinary thermometer usually takes 2-3 minutes, the electronic thermometer only takes 10-30 seconds, this way of measurement is the most accurate, followed by the thermometer is clamped under the cat’s armpit to measure for 10 minutes, the measured body temperature is +0.5 °C, but the accuracy is low.
3. Maybe you think your cat needs to be bathed, but in fact they don’t, unlike dogs, cats will clean themselves. Almost 1/4 of the day cats lick their hair. The glands on the cat’s body secrete oil, which can block most bacterial and fungal invasions. Destroying the cat’s oil layer will cause the cat’s body odor to become heavier, and the smell will also expose the cat’s position. If you bury your head in the cat’s body and take a deep breath, you will smell a milky scent.
So in what situations can cats be bathed? I believe that many shoveling officers have had this experience, looking at the dirty little milk cat, can’t stand the urge to bathe her at home, for kittens, it is not recommended to bathe before getting full immunity, that is, it is not recommended to bathe before the cat triple and deworming, and the kitten’s first bath is generally after three months. For stray kittens, if they are too dirty, it is recommended to take them to the pet hospital for bathing or bathe them on the premise of keeping warm. For cats who are going to give birth, it is not recommended to bathe during pregnancy, and it is best to bathe the cat about a month before giving birth. For domestic cats, if they are not stained with foreign body excrement, it is not recommended to bathe the cat, and it is the best choice to keep the home environment clean.
In fact, many modern domestic cat breeds come from arid countries such as the Middle East or Asia, and no one knows why cats don’t like to bathe, and there is a theory that cats lack water in the process of breeding will make them not tolerant of moisture.
Although cats drink less water, water is important for their health. We need to make sure that the cat has access to enough water to drink. If your cat doesn’t drink enough water, you may get a UTI. Cats will always drink water in their spare time, which means that you need to prepare a clean plate to put water.
Don’t be careless about giving your cat water, these three types of water are suitable for cats. Obtaining water through food is the best way, when feeding cats, dry food and wet food should be eaten together, the so-called dry food and wet food are not pointing, dry food is soaked in water to drink, this way is the easiest to breed bacteria. If there is time and conditions, you can feed the cat raw meat 3-4 times a week, and the cat that feeds the raw meat needs to be dewormed regularly every month. If you are feeding cooked meat, the broth should not drown the meat, and if you drink the soup to your heart’s content, it will make the cat unable to get enough food. The second is flowing water, cats like to drink living water, which is why they like to drink water from the faucet, or lie down in the toilet. Instead of buying a water dispenser for the cat, it is better to prepare a large water basin for the cat, put it on the balcony, and raise some grass carp, crucian carp and other freshwater fish with high activity resistance in the water basin, and put a few aquatic plants is more perfect. When the cat comes to drink fish soup, the fish is frightened and will cause the water to fluctuate, and you can drink water while teasing the cat, and the cat will love to drink water more. Remember, cat owners must brush the cup before drinking water, and slowly taste the foot washing water of the meow meow.
4. Presumably, you must have seen the picture of the cat being frightened by yellow light on Douyin, but do you really know the reason behind this? Cats are not afraid of cucumbers themselves, they are afraid of the cucumbers that appear silently around them, these unknown things may represent danger and predators for cats, especially cucumbers are more like snakes in the cat world. Behind the scared cat, these problems are worth pondering, although many of us will feel very interesting, but this kind of accident will cause anxiety and fear in cats, it is best to play with cats in a different way
5. Stale food. Maybe you think dry or wet food can be stored for several days, but it’s not. Cats only like to eat fresh food, such as freshly opened food. But they won’t touch them again. Cats need to eat every day, but the way they eat is still different from that of dogs. If you find that your cat is throwing food, it’s because they want to tell you, shovel, it’s time to change to new food, this kind of bad food, don’t leave it to this meow. It could also be because they don’t like the taste.
6. Dirty litter box
Cats are extremely clean animals, and they spend a lot of time cleaning their bodies every day. They hate unclean litter boxes, stuffed animals, and dirty water bowls. If you want to win more love from your master, remember to clean the litter box regularly every day and put the litter box in the right place. Imagine a closed litter box filled with cat waste, would you like it if you were a cat? Many people will say that cats poop smells, in addition to feeding a large amount of indigestible cat dry food every day, shit shoveling officer, how often have you forgotten to shovel shit?
7. Some specific smells
Cats don’t like the smell of gasoline, which is why when you drive out or go to the pet hospital, you must make sure that your master can adapt. In everyday life, cats do not like spicy things, such as onions. Vinegar, menthol, holly, mint, etc. Clever use of citrus scents that cats hate can prevent cats from gnawing on furniture. Cats don’t like the smell of lavender either, which is also the smell of lavender in many insect repellent sprays, which can prevent cats from licking cat hair, but spray deworming, you are happy, not to mention more. Many female shoveling officers will feel that cats will like those old men at home more, imagine that the cat will like you by spraying perfume and hand cream to cover up your own smell. Presumably, Mao-kun is also a plain makeupist, ahaha. What’s more, it is the litter box at home, when the cat is going to go to the toilet, the closed litter box blocks the smell in a short period of time, and the litter box full of odor and warm bedding will be chosen.
Using these smells that cats hate, we can use them to protect our furniture from harm, but don’t use these smells to hurt cats, don’t let cats come into contact with some harmful substances, and protect the safety of cats.
8. Strangers or animals
Cats do not like strangers and people who come unexpectedly. Because they like to stay in the territory they can control. The arrival of strangers brings new smells that need to be familiar to cats. When strangers come, don’t blame your master for not coming out to meet people, it’s not shy, it’s just that he simply doesn’t like strangers or animals. If you want to avoid this problem, it is best to introduce them to new friends and the outside world when they are still young.
9. Cats are very sensitive and don’t like frequent changes. Cats like to live in an environment they can control, and small changes can touch their fragile minds. If you need to move or change the arrangement of furniture, make sure to bring it to your cat ready.
10. Take the cat for a ride
Unlike dogs who love cars, cats don’t like to go for a drive because it destroys their original living habits. An unfamiliar environment can make cats feel uncomfortable and stressed. If you are going to take your cat out for a drive, prepare the cat travel flight box in advance, and provide them with a familiar towel blanket, it will be better to put them in it, it is best to let them sleep beautifully, and think that they are still at home. If you envy pet bloggers who travel everywhere with cats, remember to give your master a process of adaptation, preferably from an early age. In this way, they can satisfy your love of freedom and travel, and better accompany you during the journey.
11. Balloon
Do you really know that the reason why cats are afraid of balloons turns out to be because in their minds, they regard balloons as an opponent that cannot be defeated. For cats, balloons are like an intruder that can hurt you or them, imagine that if a cat encounters a mouse or a large flying insect, they can defeat them, but with balloons, they can’t defeat them, they will feel fear.
12. Pose and take pictures
If you are a cat lover, you must have seen many cute selfies with cats. But let’s calm down and think about it, in the real life of cats, they are not willing to pose with them to take pictures, and they don’t want to wear ticket clothes and costumes to take pictures. I still remember that I have swiped a lot of Douyin up owners, every day I want to do my best to wear all kinds of clothes for the cat to take pictures, the naturally delicate cats really love to show off their beauty!
If one day, you and the cat swap roles and you become a cat, how do you want the shoveler to treat you? Don’t love your cat the way you love, think about their nature, and the right one is the best choice for the cat. People pleasing cats and cats pleasing people is a controversial topic, what will you think?
