Are they bad cats? The most common types of people’s problems with cats

Some cat behaviors are not always understood by its caregivers. This is due to a different way of communication and the subsequent interpretation of the signals that the custodian sends us. Today we consider the most common dilemmas and questions of the feline caregivers. None of the behaviors presented here is due to feline evil or jealousy. These concepts are completely unrelated to cats; They act instinctively and do not want to make their caregivers feel uncomfortable.

It is important to note and learn to read discreet messages, so you can react immediately and possibly help your cat.

Why does the cat make noise at night? How can I stop the misery of the cat at night?

Cats can vocalize for several reasons, in different tones and volumes. This is their way of communicating with people, their caregivers. The stimulus can be pain, hunger, search for interest, warmth or desire to obtain or force something that is not available for the cat. However, the most common cause of the agitation and the night Miaunat is the improper cat before bedtime. These animals have a night lifestyle by their nature. So, like innate predators, their hunting instincts and the desire to play are intensified. This is a completely natural process and the animal should not be blamed for this. With systematic work, you can reach an adequate compromise for both sides. It is sufficient to respect the hunting sequence, which consists in compliance with the natural stages of the cat’s day, that is, sleep – hunting (game) – Food – toilet. This will avoid the frustration of the cat, which can manifest, among other things, excessive vocalized. An hour or even half before bedtime, the cat should be energetically stimulated and then give it food. Any toy for cats, cats for cats and cat games will help in this sense. The lack of efforts before going to bed only guarantees that the cat will find its occupation in the form of pursuit, attacking humans and other animals, playing alone or in the middle of the night.

On the other hand, if we are sure that the cat is healthy, we made sure that it had the necessary goods (clean liter, fresh water) and was treated and nourished, then we should not react to its midwife. It is likely that it is an attempt to attract attention, to impose a constraint. Reacting, the cat only learns that vocalization will get what he wants and will begin to repeat this method of work.

How does the cat choose food?

Pisions take control of food preferences from the mother since childhood. What a cat that breastfeeds eats influences the taste of milk and already model the taste buds of cats. Furthermore, cats don’t like changes too much and, often, instinctively, they don’t want to try the new food for fear of not being broken. If you have a pretentious kitten, which does not want to try new flavors and stubbornly stay in a single type of food, it is better to move on to a new, better and gradually.

With the same food consistency, but moving on a different composition (dry wet wet and wet), it is better to mix the front product with the new one and increase the amount of the new one every day. When the cat still feels the family aroma, it is more likely to taste the new food and avoid digestive problems. When you decide a completely different type of nutrition (from dry food to wet food), it is better to immediately give it wet food, but flavor it with the cat’s favorite goodies, for example sauces, jelly and, perhaps, even a splash of previous dry food.

If we have the opportunity, it is good to pass the cat already pregnant with a correct and precious food.

Please note that Gatti’s hunger is very dangerous. Studies show that not eating anything for more than 12 hours leads to damage to cat liver. If your cat has stopped eating and is lethargic, you should go immediately to the vet. On the other hand, when the food has changed, the refusal of the food is ordinary, but long -term long -term food should not be allowed. If the aroma that plays does not help, it returns to the preparation of the initial food and perform the whole process again slowly.

Why does the cat make its needs outside the litter and how can I find out?

The cat’s urine outside the litter is a very annoying and serious problem. Cat urine has an intense smell and persists on a certain surface for a long period of time. Both health and behavioral problems can be the source of this behavior. Therefore, the signals should never be underestimated and as soon as the first symptoms appear: act. The custodian must be careful when the cat finds himself longer in the litter, sings excessively, vowel before or after, and did not do it before. Often, the signals that the cat transmits are so discreet that they are just observed and the effect is already visible – in the form of stool on the floor.

It is important to remember and consider that the unstoppable cat will always mark the area, in lighter cases with urine, in more difficult cases with the stool. This is a natural reflection and the only way to change is castration. It should be done as soon as possible, because starting the marking becomes a habit and this unpleasant habit is difficult to remove later.

In the case of a castrated cat, the most common reason for the discomfort outside the litterie are health problems. Renal stones, constipation, inflammation of the bladder, kidneys, urethra, etc. They are extremely uncomfortable conditions and the pain causes the cat to associate it with the litter and cause it to avoid it. The first action of the custodian in the event of any alarming signs must be a visit to the vet and perform the necessary tests. Behavioral defecation outside the litter is a rather large topic and, depending on the case, the cause can be different. Constant stress, fear and tension from the cat, inappropriate positioning of the litter, too small quantities of bed linen in relation to the number of cats, an inadequate bed linen, a dirty litter and impregnated by smells, incorrect size, covered instead of open (and vice versa), etc. It can influence the cat’s reluctance to enter its cabinet.

If the kitten makes its needs outside the liter, it can mean that it has not yet learned that the litterie is the best place for this. Therefore, as soon as you notice that the kitten is about to sit in the wrong place, you should easily move it to the litter and praise it. In no case should they be punished or punished. If your kitten would already like a different place from the litter, it may be useful to put … a bowl of food there. Usually, cats don’t make their needs where they eat, so this can be the simplest solution to the problem.

Any liquid that neutralizes the smell of the urine and discourages the cat to pee there, like urine, can also help solve the problem.

The cat scratches the furniture: does it do it from evil?

NO! Schooling different surfaces is a cat care procedure. In this way, it sharpens and cuts the claws, extends and leaves its specific smell. The scratch has the role of marking the area. Cats have olfactory glands located on cushions; Truing, leave your mark and find the area better. If we do not provide the cat to scratch, that is, scratching the pillars, will easily direct its instinct to something else that is not necessarily foreseen.

However, each cat has its own preferences when it comes to scratching the pillars. There are toothpaste supports: vertical, horizontal or inclined. You can try to encourage your cat to use the support of scratches already purchased, for example by spraying it with grass or playing it. If the cat does not yet want to use one, it is worth trying it with another, this time of different shape. Choosing the right pillar of Graffi is an investment for many years.
