The cat kisses your mouth every day, maybe just drank the toilet water...
Saw a post online:
A netizen posted that cats usually developed a hobby, like licking their feet, and then kissing their noses.
You know, the cat's mouth has some peculiar smell, because there are many high-protein things in the cat food and food that the cat eats.
As carnivorous cats, their mouths are quite stinky.
However, netizens inadvertently discovered that their cats were drinking toilet water secretly.
At that moment, he felt that his whole person was not good.
The cat licked his nose just a second ago, and drank the water from his glass.
Doesn't this mean that he indirectly drank the water from the toilet?
Netizens feel that raising a cat is really a bit terrifying.
Ask the shit shoveling officers what is the greatest joy in raising cats.
Then the matter of "sucking cats" must be on the list.
If you keep cats and don't suck cats, half the fun is lost.
However, if you are a cat addict, you may also be harmed by the behavior.
This brings me to a case I saw earlier:
A feces shovel officer has been sucking cats all the year round, causing the bacteria in the cat's body to be continuously inhaled into his stomach, and accumulated for a long time. Finally, this netizen became "allergic to cat hair".
After that, he had to keep a distance from the cat, and it took a lot of effort to be optimistic.
For most shit shovelers, they may not be allergic to cat hair, but they are easy to "kiss" with the toilet indirectly.
When it comes to drinking toilet water, this does not seem to be a behavior unique to cats. If you have a pet dog at home, once you have no time to close the bathroom door, the dog may also run in to drink toilet water.
So, what is the magic of toilet water that makes cats so fond of it?
First: The smell of the toilet attracts cats
If you usually use 84 to clean the toilet with some special smelling disinfectant, then the cat is likely to be attracted by these smells.
Because there is a substance in 84, which can let the cat get on it, affect the cat's mood and reaction, and make the cat become excited.
Similar to cat grass and catnip, if your cat happens to like the smell, it will be attracted to the smell and go to the toilet.
Second: the temptation of flowing water, more than calm water
Zoologists have done many similar experiments.
for example:
Keep some cats in separate houses, and prepare the following water sources in the houses.
The tap is ticking, the toilet is open, there is water in it, and the cat drinks the water from the water bowl.
The results showed that the cat's favorite drink was the water from the faucet, followed by the toilet water, and finally the water in their own bowl.
These cats are basically the same.
This shows that, in the eyes of cats, flowing water can attract their attention more.
why?
Probably has something to do with the genes in the cat's bones.
When the ancestors of cats lived in the wild, they would give priority to finding flowing water sources, because they believed that flowing water was safe.
Third: the fun of playing with water is greater than the fun of drinking water
Nothing can resist a cat's curiosity.
Much of the behavior of cats is actually influenced by curiosity.
For example: the cat is sleeping and suddenly hears a sound, and the cat is instantly energized.
There is a saying that "curiosity killed the cat", there are too many things that cats are ugly because of curiosity.
In the eyes of cats, every day is something new, which can arouse the curiosity of cats.
They watch the shit shovel go in and out of the bathroom every day, but they can't go in and see what the shit shovel is doing.
Once cats have the opportunity to go to the bathroom, they must study the toilet water well.
How to prevent cats from drinking toilet water?
I think the best thing to do is: cover the toilet.
You can forget to close the door, but be sure to close the toilet lid.
