Recently, Lele has received many complaints from novice poop shovelers: the little kitten at home has finally grown to three or four months old, but it has changed from the original cute, soft, clingy and clingy to me without warning. Love to attack, love to bite, fierce, disown...

This made them feel very frustrated: why are other people’s cats so obedient and obedient, while my own cats are always “domestic violence” to me, with claw marks scratched all over my body. This is completely different from the cat-raising life they imagined! Some people even have the idea of abandoning cats.

Oh my God! It's not true that everyone thinks that raising a cat is an easy task! Which shit-shoveling officer didn't come from this stage, and which shit-shoveling officer didn't have any "glorious" marks of being scratched and bitten by a cat?

Although Lele always persuades "Don't raise cats if you think about it carefully, this is an irresponsible behavior for cats", but nothing can change the reality. Then let's analyze and analyze why the cute and obedient little milk kitten that I just brought home suddenly "changed temperament" and fell in love with "domestic violence" when it was three or four months old.

Cats at this stage are full of energy

The kitten who has just arrived home is not familiar with the new environment, and it takes a certain amount of time to adapt. In addition, it is growing up, and spends most of the day sleeping. Of course, it is cute, soft and obedient.

But as they grow older and become more familiar with their home, they begin to unleash their natural instincts. Three to four-month-old cats are at the time when they are full of energy and teething. They will find a lot of things to do by themselves to vent their energy.

For example, digging through trash cans at home, breaking flower pots, biting you when you pet it, and even hiding in corners to "ambush" you... In the eyes of cats, all these are just "games" for it to vent its energy , it has no idea that this is wrong behavior.

At this time, the cat is like a child who needs to be taught. The shit-shoveling officer needs to be tolerant of their aggressive behavior. At the same time, they also need to be patient to find the reasons behind these behaviors, and then give appropriate guidance to change each other, so as to achieve harmony. state of coexistence.

cat play aggression

Cats leave their mother cat and companions prematurely, and have no one to play with, so they can only learn hunting movements such as lurking and raiding in the interaction with the shit shoveler.

In the process of self-study, it is difficult for cats to control their own scratching and biting strength, so they are easy to play off, causing injuries to the excrement shoveler; in addition, many excrement shovelers are used to teasing the cat directly with their hands, and when the cat grows up, it will develop Once you get used to it, it becomes easier to attack with your hands like toys.

In response to this cat's "game-like" aggressive behavior, what should the shit-shoveling officer do? Just walk away and ignore the cat's invitation to play.

Because any physical response from you at this time will be understood by the cat as that you are willing to play with it, which will induce subsequent aggressive behavior. After leaving the cat for a while, you can bring the cat teaser or other toys to play with the cat again, and give it snacks as a reward after the game is over, so as to strengthen the cat and tell it that the real object of play is not you, but It's a toy.

If, when the cat is attacking you, its mouth is heavy, you must promptly tell it "no!" , which will irritate the cat instead.

And stop the cat's aggressive behavior consistently, tell it to stop attacking with the same tone and tone every time, don't be capricious, this will confuse the cat. Over time, the cat will learn to control the strength, and will gradually become sensible after a long time.

Aggressive behavior caused by touching the restricted area of cats

There are also many shit shovelers who are very puzzled. The cat was lying in his arms and let him stroke it a moment ago, but suddenly he bit himself back and ran away.

If so, it's mostly because you've petted it for too long or touched the cat's restricted area, which made it uncomfortable. Therefore, when stroking cats, the excrement shovelers should not grab a place and stroking hard, but observe the cat's reaction during the process of stroking.

Once the cat has a tendency to tense up, turn its head, or show its airplane ears, or start to flick its tail more, you can stop immediately. After patting it a few times in this way, you will naturally know which places are restricted by your cat, and you will not be bitten by touching them in the future.

Forcing the cat to cooperate with the aggressive behavior you cause

Cats are animals with a strong sense of status and territory. When there are no other pets at home, if you encounter a shoveling officer who is obedient and obedient, the cat will undoubtedly regard itself as the boss.

So when you force it to do something it doesn't want to do, the cat will resist you by biting you and other aggressive behaviors. Or it can attack you when it wants you to do something that you haven't done.

If you don’t want this to happen, the poop shoveler needs to establish his own authority in the process of accompanying the cats on a daily basis, and accompany and observe the cats as much as possible in normal times to understand the meaning of some of their behaviors, so that they can get along peacefully. .

Self-protective aggressive behavior after being beaten

Many shit shovelers think that if a cat is disobedient, just give it a good spanking, and if it doesn’t listen anymore, keep beating it until it is obedient.

Let’s not talk about whether it works or not after beating a cat. Generally, the result after beating a cat is: the cat is afraid when it sees you, and your beating has left a strong psychological shadow on it. In order to protect itself, the cat will choose to attack actively, so even if you are not close, as long as it sees you, it will start to scream at you, and even growl at you.

Cats are timid and sensitive animals. Bad memories of the past, or scenes that make them fear, can even cause them to respond to stress. If you have caused a rift in your relationship with your cat due to your inappropriate parenting methods, it may take months of time and patience to repair. Therefore, it is really not recommended to hit cats!

Aggression due to physical discomfort

Cats are very pain-tolerant animals. If we don't take the initiative to check or the cat shows some abnormal behavior, it is difficult for us to find that the cat is unwell.

But when the painful part of the cat is touched by us, it may induce their aggressive behavior, such as arthritis, brain tumor, audio-visual impairment and other diseases.

Therefore, after raising cats, in addition to being addicted to sucking cats every day, excrement shovelers should also pay attention to observe the daily behavior and habits of cats, so as to find out what is wrong with them in time. For details, please refer to How to Tell if a Cat Is Unwell?

The matter of raising a cat has never been so smooth. Any sensible and well-behaved kitten cannot do without the careful company and guidance of the shit shovel officer. I hope that the novice shit shovelers can spend more patience, don't abandon the cat easily because of the rebellious period, raise it, please be responsible for it to the end!
