Cats live next to us, but love unconditionally, like dogs do not know how. For the dog to reciprocate, it is enough to scratch behind the ear. On the contrary, a cat makes contact only when it wants to. And if she is not forced to lead like a dog, then she will be the most loyal and sociable friend in the world.
Independence
No one has domesticated the cat like other animals. She came to the man herself. The first appearance of cats near a person belongs to Ancient Egypt. Namely, she was attracted by the granaries of the pharaohs because of the horde of mice. The people themselves were not very attracted to the cat. However, the Egyptians quickly realized that it was these animals that could save crops from rodents. Cats began to be worshiped. Her life began to be considered above human and was punished with the death penalty for premeditated murder, and heavy fines for accidental murder.
Over the years of living together with humans, the character of cats has changed. But, nevertheless, they are still more attached to the place than to the person.
A special beast
A cat, like any other pet, needs food, shelter and a partner for procreation to live comfortably.
The easiest way to win over your cat is to deal with nutrition. Now in pet stores there is a huge selection of food. Of all the variety, you can always find something that will be seductive for a four-footed friend. By changing the diet, we give the opportunity to get the joy of life without leaving home. Moreover, new food is a great cure for boredom.
Since a cat is an independent animal, she needs a secluded place where she can relax and rest. It can be a chic set from a store, or a simple cardboard box with soft bedding inside. The main thing is for the cat to feel safe in its shelter.
One of the biggest challenges hosts face is tags. If you are not planning on becoming a breeder, then your pet should be spayed. Do not think that this will undermine the health of the animal. On the contrary, the cat becomes less susceptible to sexual instincts, aggressiveness and the risk of tumor formation decrease. In addition, the pet becomes human-oriented.
Cat friendship
Cats do not lend themselves to traditional training. However, you can find a common language with them. Use positive reinforcement - praise and reward for good behavior. For bad - ignore. It happens that the cat does things that can get mad: bites, scratches the wallpaper, does not go to the tray. Do not punish her in these moments. Cats have the ability to take revenge for an insult. Better to figure out why she's doing all this. If out of boredom, buy her puzzle toys. So as not to tear the furniture, and the wallpaper, a scratching post will come to the rescue. The cat can ignore the tray when it does not suit her in terms of parameters, or because of the filler. If problem persists, contact your veterinarian. Perhaps urination and defecation cause discomfort, and the cat is looking for a place where it will not be so painful for her to do her own business. The doctor will prescribe treatment and the problem will be resolved.
