Cats always have a special liking for what is moving. Many cats raised at home like to catch various insects at home, such as cockroaches, and even centipedes! Many owners think this is a good thing, which means that the cat is smart! In fact, this kind of behavior has many safety risks! Be careful when you are a master and don’t let the cat do these behaviors!
Don't let cats be used as insect extermination devices
Many people are happy to say that cats at home can exterminate insects, but this is actually not a good habit.
How to correctly educate cats
1. Treat insects as gifts
Cats who like to catch insects sometimes treat them as prey to their owners. Can you still be ecstatic when you see your cat holding a huge cockroach in his mouth and trying to offer treasure to you?
But at that time, it is wrong to reject cats' kindness, so they cannot cultivate the habit of hunting at home from the beginning.
2. Cats are susceptible to parasites
Cats catch bugs at home and may eat them after playing with them, which is very dangerous.
Because insects, especially cockroaches and flies, they carry parasite eggs and various bacteria, cats are prone to infecting parasites in their bodies and become thinner after eating them.
3. Danger occurs on the balcony
If the balcony at home is unenclosed, then the cat may accidentally fall down while hunting, causing casualties.
Common problems are also prone to occur near open windows, so no matter in terms of the sense, the doors and windows of cat owners should be closed properly.
Let the cats show mercy under the claws of the home
Let the environment be well organized and do not let this place become a hunting paradise for cats.
1. Clean the room frequently. The room is clean and clean, so insects or mice are not prone to appear. You must clean frequently and use relatively safe insect-killing drugs to be careful to accidentally hurt your cat.
Pay special attention to the damp and messy places in the kitchen and bathroom. If a cat can always find insects, does it mean that your family is very sloppy?
2. Cats quickly seize food
If you find that cats are eating small insects or geckos that you catch, you must immediately snatch them out of their mouths and tell them firmly that this is not possible.
But not snacking them immediately afterwards will make them think that doing so will give them better food.
3. Release hunting energy
Domestic cats who do not go out will not be released, and the pressure is high, so they will entertain themselves to catch small insects.
So you must play with cats more often. You use cat sticks to accompany the cats to perform "simulated hunting" every day. When they are so tired that they sleep, they will naturally not cause trouble for the little bugs.
4. Let the cat eat full
In fact, this is the same for cats outdoors or indoors. Although they are interested in hunting even if they are not hungry, when they feel hungry, they will eat them immediately after hunting.
When cats start looking for live or dead objects to eat at the corners of their homes, hurry up and see if their rice bowl is empty.
That's all for now. There are still many cats with some quirks that can cause danger. It depends on the owner to slowly improve and educate it.
