In the hearts of people who want to raise cats but have not yet raised them, there are many questions about cats, such as “how much does it cost to raise a cat”, “what cat does not shed”, “what cat personality is so clingy”, etc., among which the question about the cat’s personality is even more popular. Many cat breeds do have personality tags, according to this each has different breeding methods, such as Maine, Bengal cat and other breeds have a cheerful personality and like to exercise, suitable for indoor breeding with a larger area, British short, American short, Muppet, Siamese, strange short and other breeds have a gentle personality, suitable for the vast majority of ordinary families to raise, etc.
But for cats, the relationship between breed and personality is not absolute, just like humans of different skin colors and races, there are also different personalities such as cheerful, introverted, gentle, and rough. At the beginning, breeders used artificial breeding methods to shape the differentiation of different varieties, but individual differences cannot be erased. There is also some connection between the personality of some cats and the color of their coats, such as most orange cat relatives are gentle and well-behaved and will please people, most cow cats are lively and funny, and civet cats are always arrogant and cold.
Having said that, it is not all like this, there are also very close civet cats and cold orange cats, which are related to individual differences and acquired development. As mentioned in my previous article, in addition to the natural personality label, cats also have acquired personalities determined by the breeding environment and experience. If cats live under high stress and stress for a long time, their personalities will become sensitive, irritable, and unfriendly, and a comfortable and comfortable environment, coupled with a patient and moderate shoveling officer, can make cats feel at ease and relaxed.
Some people also want to know if the home will become dirty and messy after raising a cat, for fear that the cat will not like cleanliness. As a senior shoveling officer, I want to tell you that if you really have a cat, it is definitely impossible for the living environment to be absolutely clean. The specific reasons are as follows.
1. Cats shed hair and dander all year round:
Shorthair cats do not shed less than long-haired cats. The floor, furniture, and clothes at home will definitely stick to the fallen cat hair, and since I raised a cat, I have said goodbye to dark clothes, as well as clothes, scarves, hats, etc. that love sticky hair. Even if you vacuum it every day and roll it with a roller, there are still cat hair that is missed.
2. Cats like to grind their nails on the scratching post:
So there will be nail clippings and scratching post fragments falling indoors, and then the cat will step on them and spread to all corners of the room. If you don’t have a scratching post at home, then the cat will attack the sofa, curtains, chair backs, and screens, and the final effect is similar, the difference is that the scratching post is broken and not distressed, and the sofa will be distressed if it is scratched.
3. No matter what type of cat litter you use for your cat, there will always be some particles brought out outside the litter box:
Those bells and whistles on the market that claim to be unable to bring out cat litter, you will know when you really use it, there will still be sand that slips through the net, it is inevitable, it is just the difference between more and less, but whether it is more or less, even if you bring out three grains, you have to clean it up, right? There is also the fact that if the cat’s excrement is not cleaned up in time, the house will still have a peculiar smell, which is really strange……
4. Most male cats will urinate indiscriminately without sterilization:
Ignoring the litter box for most of the heat period, or only pooping in the litter box, pee will appear in every corner of the house, including on the sofa, in bed, in the closet, in your shoes. Moreover, the urine of male cats during estrus contains more retained pheromones than usual, which translates to extremely unpleasant and difficult to remove. Enough to break you down.
Personally, I think that if you want to be a qualified shoveling officer, in addition to the cat’s personality, you must also carefully consider whether you can endure the occurrence of the above situations for a long time in the next ten years. The shortcomings of these cats are not to dissuade them, but because I have seen too many people abandoned for strange reasons in recent years, such as cat poop is too smelly, estrus barks too loudly, cats are too clingy, cats are not clingy, cats eat too much, cats always love to shed hair, and so on. These things can be understood in advance, before taking the cat home, I advise everyone to be more rational than enthusiastic, think carefully before making a decision, so that it is good for both people and cats.
