Although cats are cute, cat lovers do need to pay attention to some taboos when raising cats to ensure the health, happiness of the cats and the harmonious relationship between humans and cats. Here are six taboos that cannot be ignored for raising cats.
1. Pull the cat's tail vigorously
The cat's tail is its important balance organ. Violent shaking or pulling the cat's tail may cause the cat to lose balance, causing serious damage, or even fractures. Such behavior will make the cat feel painful and frightened, and may cause the cat to develop fear and distrust of the owner.
The tails of cats are like their "rudder plate", playing a crucial role in walking, running, and climbing. Once the tail is damaged, the cat's normal life will be affected.
2. The cuteness of holding the cat for a long time is heart-warming, and many people are eager to hold them tightly in their arms. But most cats are not convinced of this "domineering love" imposed on them. Cats have independent personalities and like to move freely. Holding the cat for a long time, especially holding it tightly in your arms and not allowing it to leave, will make the cat feel oppressed and uncomfortable and lack a sense of security.
If you encounter a little guy with a slightly hot personality, it is likely to use minions as a counterattack. Cats are like independent individuals, we need to respect their personalities and give them space to freedom.
3. Take cats to visit at will
Cats are different from dogs. Cats do not like to be close to people like dogs. To a certain extent, cats are relatively introverted. Moreover, cats have different personalities than other animals. To a large extent, cats do not like to meet strangers, so they must not take their cats to visit, as they may cause trouble to others.
Cats have a strong dependence on familiar environments, and suddenly taking them to strange places will make them feel scared and uneasy. When considering taking your cat out, be careful to ensure the comfort and safety of the cat.
4. Give cats human food
Some human foods are invisible killers of cat health. We cannot feed cats human food at will, whether out of curiosity or love. Because cats' metabolic system and detoxification ability are very different from that of humans, many things that are harmless and even beneficial to humans are deadly poisons for cats.
Especially onions are dangerous even in small quantities. Onions contain acrylic plasma that destroys red blood cells after intake of cats, which is at risk of causing severe anemia.
5. Trim the beard for cats
Cats' beards are not only part of their appearance, but also an important tool for them to perceive their surroundings. The beard is covered with nerve endings and sensors, which can help cats judge information such as space size, distance, and airflow changes. Once the beard is cut or damaged, the cat's perception will be greatly reduced. We should respect the cat's beard and not trim it at will.
6. Carrying the back of the cat
It's now 2024, and there are people who use this "smart trick" to deal with cats! Generally speaking, the act of carrying the back of the cat's neck is a way for the cat to be obedient when the cat was a child. However, when a cat becomes an adult, the cat is already very heavy. If you continue to treat the cat in this way, it is easy to damage the tissue on the cat's neck.
The correct way to hold a cat is to gently lift the cat's forelimbs to make them feel at ease. We should interact with our cats in a gentle way so that they feel respected and cared for.
Remember these points, the process of raising a cat can be easier and freehand, and can you get along well with the cat.
