For many hundreds of years, fluffy favorites have lived with us next to one side. But is everything we know about them true?
There is an opinion that cats are very touchy and can spite the owner and shit wherever they want. It's a lie. Cats change their litter position because they may be under stress. This can be: renovation in an apartment, human quarrels, rearrangement of furniture, the arrival of a stranger in the house, or a kidney disease.
Many people think: the thicker the animal, the happier it is. This is not true. On the contrary, if the cat begins to gain weight, this is a serious reason to contact your veterinarian. Chances are, your pet is just sick. Gaining excess weight can lead to diabetes, obesity, vascular and heart disease and other troubles. In some countries, such negligent handling of the animal is punishable by monetary fines and even imprisonment for several months.
A cat, jumping from any height, always lands on four legs and it is not painful at all. It is not true. Of course, they perfectly know how to redistribute their weight during a fall, but this does not mean that it is not at all painful for them to do this. Many animals after such jumps broke bones and even died.
If you castrate a cat, it will become lazy. It's a lie. Even after such an operation, a pet will sleep as much as it always does. Sleep can take 15-18 hours a day. Don't worry - this is normal for a healthy animal.
Cats see perfectly at night as well as during the day. This is not entirely true. In fact, cats, of course, can see much better than humans in the dark, but they also have vision problems. Farsighted animals may not see the mouse under their nose until it tries to escape. In the dark, they rely more on their sense of smell.
When a pet begins to lick itself, this does not at all mean that it is cleaning itself. Perhaps he is just thinking hard about something or is faced with a choice. Of course, licking the wool serves for washing as well.
March is the month when cats start yelling. It is not true. Regardless of the time of year, animals do not stop this activity. With the help of a cry, they attract the attention of the owners to themselves, divide the territory and look for a partner for themselves. Why is March the most active month of the year? It's just that the warming comes and people start to expose the windows and open the vents, thereby allowing their pets to get together.
The most evil breed of cats is the Siamese. This is not at all the case, it's just that this breed is the most active and emotional compared to others.
The dog and the cat are the worst enemies. Of course it is not. All representatives of our smaller brothers behave insecurely at the first meeting. However, if a cat and a dog live in the same house, they coexist perfectly with each other. And if they meet at a very young age, they will become the best friends.
Before spaying a cat, you need to give it a chance to lamb. Not true. If you don't want to have more cats, then you don't have to. The instinct of reproduction in animals is laid down by nature, if you do not let him "wake up", then your cat will not know anything about him.
Cats can heal themselves. Of course this is a lie. They cannot cure serious diseases. All the same it is necessary to show the animal to the doctor.
