'It's been less than 2 months since I had a cat, I really regret it'

Do you have any regrets while raising a cat?

When I first started raising cats, I only had occasional contact with cats, and I didn't have a cat of my own.

Later, I raised several cats in a row, including a friend's cat who was fostered here; at most, I raised 5 cats.

These cats have different personalities and have their own characteristics.

When they are well-behaved, cats are indeed very popular; but when cats are energetic and mischievous, they will break you down in minutes.

A netizen sent me a message to complain, he said:

I started to regret having a cat for less than 2 months.

I thought that raising a cat would bring some companionship to the dull life and give him spiritual comfort when he was single.

He didn't expect that raising a cat would cost him money and make him angry.

The curtains I just spent thousands of dollars on were scratched by the cat. The sofa and shoes were all scratched by the cat.

For this reason, netizens have taught cats many times.

But this cat's character has almost been developed, especially naughty and energetic.

Why is it so destructive for a cat that is only half a year old?

The netizen was very annoyed and regretted having a cat; but he regretted it, and his temper was gradually smoothed out by the cat.

Cats like to scratch the curtains, what is the reason?

1. Cats need to constantly "grind their claws" during the growth stage

Especially kittens, their nails grow really fast.

It only takes a week for the kitten's nails to grow back into sharp shape.

And when kittens have long fingernails, they're uncomfortable; after all, having sharp fingernails digging into the pads can make it difficult for kittens to move around.

Therefore, in order to sharpen the claws and make the sharp nails smooth, kittens tend to grind the nails to a relatively comfortable length by constantly scratching.

And curtains, shoes, sofas, scratching boards, these are the favorite places for kittens.

2. Cats like to sleep in high places

If you have enough experience with cats, you will find that:

Where cats sleep every day, or hide in a corner, it is best not to be easily found.

Or the cat will hide in high places, such as window sills, above cupboards, above washing machines and refrigerators.

There are also some cats, which are more destructive, they will climb the curtains and sleep on the curtain racks.

Do not doubt the cat's action and determination, once the cat looks for the place, they will work hard for it without hesitation.

Even if the price is being beaten by the shit shovel officer, or being locked in a cat cage, the cat will not hesitate.

3. The wind blows the curtains and shakes, attracting the curiosity of cats

When the wind blows, the curtains will sway with the rhythm of the wind.

At this time, the cat's attention will be attracted by the curtain; therefore, the cat will regard the curtain as an "attack target".

The cat scratched the curtain and lay down under the curtain, ready to play a game of "hide and seek" with the shit shovel officer at any time.

This behavior shows the strong curiosity of cats.

The cat is always scratching the curtain, what should the shovel officer do?

From my own experience, I can only think of two compromises.

First, trim your cat's nails regularly.

Trim your cat's nails as soon as you see them growing.

Controlling the cat's nails to a certain length, even if the cat scratches things, will not leave scars, this is the best state.

When the cat's nails don't stick to its pads, the cat's desire to scratch will also decrease.

Second, spray the drapes with scents that cats hate.

For example: orange water, orange water, toilet water and so on.

The combination of these odors is really disliked by cats.

If you see a cat scratching the curtains, scold the cat to stop scratching; then, quickly spray the scent on the curtains.

Repeat it a few times, and the cat will naturally stop scratching the curtains.

Sofas, shoes, do the same thing.
