Recently there was a topic about cats’ personalities,
which was very popular abroad.
A pet owner shared the story of her cat.
She said that she had had a cat for 10 years,
but the cat had been hiding under the bed
or around the corner and refused to come out.
None of her friends have ever seen a cat,
and
her cat will only appear in the dead of night when
everyone is asleep.
Whether you can touch it depends entirely on
the cat's mood that day.
As soon as this topic came out,
aroused a lot of discussion.
Everyone is asking her: It has been 10 years,
hasn't your cat fallen in love with you yet?
Is there something wrong with the way you raise it?
The pet owner also continued to introduce some information about the cat.
It turned out that this cat was adopted by the pet owner from a pet shelter 10 years ago.
Actually, what she fell in love with was not this cat,
but its brother, another civet cat.
I planned to adopt Brother Cat,
but the shelter said
that
was too timid and shy
was afraid of people, so it would be too difficult to adopt.
But it has a very good relationship with Brother Cat,
will definitely be very sad after they are separated.
The shelter urges pet owners to
take away the two cats together,
as saving the cats' lives,
so that they can have companionship.
At that time, the two cats were 5 years old.
have been together for 10 years.
often sleep together,
lick each other's fur, and
play together.
But last summer,
Brother Cat went to the Meow Planet forever because of kidney stones.
Brother Cat has a lively and cheerful personality,
likes to be touched by others,
likes to play games in front of people, etc.
and Brother Cat will only come out when no one is around.
Since the death of his brother,
the cat brother has never come out again.
Thinking of this, the pet owner also cried sadly.
And today before she went to work,
the cat actually came out and asked to be petted,
which surprised her so much.
So I posted this very emotional post.
Many people have also shared the situation of their cats in the post.
My cat used to have a very similar personality to your cat.
But now it is very well-behaved.
I don’t know whether it’s because we have been together for a long time,
whose personality has improved, or whether it’s because I’m older.
I can’t escape even if I want to, so
I just come out openly.
Some people also say that the situation of the two cats they raise is almost the same as that of this pet owner.
The shy and timid one also became very close to people after the death of the other one.
I don’t know if it’s because I feel lonely or something else.
Some people also suggest that pet owners adopt another cat to
be a companion for the cat brother.
So what should we do if we encounter a timid kitten
?
You can refer to the following points:
1. Create a comfortable environment for cats that
makes them feel safe.
For example, a semi-covered cat nest,
or a closed cardboard box,
these will reduce the cat's anxiety.
It is best to cultivate the cat's habit of eating regularly.
When it is hungry, it will come out to look for food on its own.
And you only need to
prepare the cat food and water basin at this time.
Slowly win the cat's trust.
2. Try to keep the environment where cats are as quiet as possible.
Do not make loud noises to scare them.
3. Use a soft tone when interacting with cats.
You can use some snacks and toys to interact with your cat.
4. Never force a cat to do something it doesn’t like
5. Socializing a timid cat
requires a lot of patience,
determination and persistence.
But in fact, as long as there is love,
as long as you can persist,
I believe you will definitely gain a sweet cat.
