'I have 15 cats at home, I really regret it': Are you addicted to raising cats?
How many cats do you have at home?
How many cats do you have in your house most of the time?
I saw a post on the Internet, and a netizen posted it saying:
He has 15 cats at home, and he almost broke up with his lover because of the cats.
Fortunately, the money for raising cats over the years was all his pre-marital property saved by himself; in order to raise cats, he deliberately rented a small house.
At the beginning, my husband could still understand her thoughts and think she likes cats, so he should support her.
However, this female netizen seems to have a deep "obsession" with raising cats, and she gradually became addicted to raising cats.
At the very beginning, she kept 2 cats at home and kept them for more than a year. The two cats gave birth to 5 cats and kept 3 cats.
This is equivalent to 5 cats, and then after another year, the cat fission again, this time the cat in the house became 9.
The remaining 6 are stray cats she adopted nearby.
After raising cats for many years, the expenses on 15 cats are almost 100,000 yuan.
But gradually, her passion for raising cats was rubbed off by life.
The burden and pressure of raising a cat is finally unbearable amid the pressure of life and the conflict between husband and wife.
She started to regret it.
Why regret it?
First, the relationship with her husband is in jeopardy.
Although children also love cats, so many cats are really time-consuming.
She has to go to work every day and occasionally pick up and drop off the child; she spends more time with the child than with the cat.
The husband was tolerant from the beginning to unacceptable, and even proposed that "if you keep a cat again, you will divorce."
Second, she herself was exhausted by cats.
There is a big difference between raising 1 cat and raising 15 cats.
For 15 cats, the most common cat litter will cost hundreds of pounds a month.
In one month, 15 cats eat almost 50 catties of cat food.
And she vaccinates cats every year, deworms them, gives them occasional baths, and occasionally a cat gets sick.
All these expenses are at least 20,000-30,000 yuan per year.
Not only mental exhaustion, but also material stress.
Why do some people get addicted to cats?
I think there are several reasons.
1. Transfer emotions to cats
Many people keep cats, but they actually regard cats as emotional sustenance.
Loneliness, helplessness, loneliness, depression and pain in the relationship, all transferred to the cat.
Over time, they are more willing to get along with cats than with the outside world.
2. People with "social anxiety" are more willing to keep cats
There is also a category of people who seem to have social phobia.
I don't want to get along with people, I only want to get along with cats.
Because when dealing with people, they feel pressure and anxiety; when they are with cats, they do not have any anxiety.
3. The cat's posture will remind people of a baby
Babies always make people feel love and desire for protection.
In cats, we can often see a side similar to that of children.
Big eyes, expressions that seem to be able to speak, cat meowing, etc. These gestures will make people unable to help but want to protect the cat.
As a shit shoveling officer who has raised multiple cats, I would like to say a word to everyone who plans to raise cats:
No matter how much you like to keep cats, you must first analyze whether you are suitable for raising cats; after all, raising cats is not only an emotional investment, but also a material investment.
You have to invest time, money, material, and emotions in your cat.
When you're sure you're a good fit for a cat, make up your mind.
Don't keep too many cats easily, it will become a trouble if you keep too many cats.
