Psychoanalysis of cats: scratching the sofa is actually to attract your attention

For most shit shoveling officers, there are 3 dilemmas in raising cats.

Dilemma one: hair loss.

Cats shed hair all year round, especially when the seasons change, and the shedding is more serious.

To what extent? As long as the shit shoveling officer wears dark clothes, there must be cat hair on them.

Dilemma 2: Cat defecation is smelly.

As a "pure carnivore", cats eat well, drink well, and consume high protein every day; therefore, when cats defecate, the smell is also a bit pungent.

When a novice shoveler first raised a cat, he was often dominated by the shadow of shoveling cat feces.

Dilemma 3: scratching the sofa

Do you still want to buy a leather sofa after raising a cat? Don't even think about it.

One of cats' favorite sofa materials is leather sofas; secondly, fabric sofas, and then furry sofas.

How much love?

As long as the shit shoveling officer is at home, the cat will definitely scratch on the sofa and use all kinds of martial arts.

At present, I have 3 cats by my side. As long as I am at home, the cats will definitely scratch the sofa.

And when I'm not at home, the cat scratches the sofa very little, do you think it's strange?

After some research and observation, I understood the psychology of cats.

It turns out that the cat's behavior of scratching the sofa most of the time is actually to "attract the attention of the shit shoveling officer".

Comparative analysis of the child's cry and the cat scratching the sofa:

The psychology of cats is actually quite similar to that of children.

In the eyes of children, any need they have is often expressed through crying.

At the beginning, the crying of the child will attract the attention of the parents, and the parents will be very nervous; thus, this awareness arises in the child's heart.

"When I cry, my parents come to pay attention to me."

As a result, the child develops the habit of crying. Whenever the child has any needs, he will signal to the parents by crying.

For kittens, they imply the owner, and the way to attract the owner's attention is also very simple.

For example: scratching the sofa.

A lot of shit shoveling officers left a message to me and said:

Their cats are especially able to scratch the sofa, and the frequency of scratching the sofa will increase with the time the shit shovel officer is at home.

When the shit shovel officer is at home, the cat scratches the sofa frequently and with great force.

When the owner is not at home, the cat is less willing to scratch the sofa.

These shit shoveling officers observed this contrast and contrast behavior of cats through cameras.

From the perspective of animal behavior psychology, this behavior of cats is to gain the attention of the owner.

Do you think:

The owner works for so long every day, and only the cat is left at home; when the owner returns home, does not interact with the cat, and ignores the cat, the cat will feel depressed and aggrieved at this time.

The IQ of an adult cat is equivalent to that of a 3-4 year old child.

You say, what's the meaning behind the cat's behavior?

In the middle, it also involves the "game psychology of cats".

When the cat scratched the sofa, the subconscious action of the shovel officer was: scold the cat, chase the cat and plan to teach the cat a lesson.

The cat's coping strategy is to escape, hide and seek, and escape to the corner to observe the shit shovel officer.

This back and forth, one chasing and one chasing, just satisfied the cat's "hunting psychology".

Therefore, if the cat frequently scratches the sofa when you are at home, the shovel officer can have two reasons.

The cat is either bored and trying to get your attention, or has long nails that need to be sharpened by scratching on the couch.
