Cats have become the darling of countless families with their charming posture and unpredictable temperament.
They jump onto our hearts lightly with leisurely pace, bringing us a steady stream of joy.
However, as responsible pet owners, we must understand that proper training and education are just as important to our furry partners.
You must know that excessive spoiling of pets is like depriving them of their survival instinct. The following five major spoiling behaviors are something we must be vigilant and avoid.
1. Overfeeding snacks
Cats have almost irresistible love for snacks. Every time the aroma of snacks fills, they can easily capture their hearts.
However, as caregivers, we must strictly control their snack intake.
Eating too much snacks will not only cause cats to eat or be anorexia, but may also affect their health due to the unbalanced nutrition of snacks.
Therefore, feeding snacks in a timely and appropriate amount is a wise move to take into account both the happiness and health of the cat.
2. Unconditionally meet all the needs of cats
Cats sometimes make some unreasonable requests, such as when you are asleep, they are eager to try and want to play with you; or when you are busy working, they snuggle by, eager to get your attention.
If you always accommodate every little wish without thinking, you will only develop the cat's willfulness and incomprehension of the rhythm of the owner's life.
If you continue like this, it is too late to feel their annoyance.
3. Overprotecting cats
Indeed, cats are naturally timid and need time to adapt to the strangeness and challenges of the outside world.
But excessive protection will make them more timid, sensitive, and lack the necessary social abilities.
Imagine that when a guest comes to your home, your cat cannot hide all day because of fear. This is not only an injustice to it, but also an irresponsibility to it.
4. Leave the will of cats
When a cat occasionally exhibits aggressive behavior, if you choose to turn a blind eye, then you not only do not set clear behavioral boundaries for the cat, but instead encourages its aggressive behavior.
Over time, cats may become bolder and their aggressive behavior may become more serious, which not only poses a risk of harming you, but may also cause harm to people around you.
Therefore, timely correction and guidance are essential.
5. Make cats over-obese
Although the saying goes, "It is a blessing to be able to eat", for cats, excessive diet can also bring health risks.
Obacteria not only increases the burden on the cat's body, but may also cause a series of health problems, such as heart disease and diabetes, which seriously affect the lifespan of cats.
Therefore, reasonable control of cats' diet and maintaining a healthy weight is crucial to their long-term well-being.
Suggestions for correct cat raising:
1. Training
Kitten since childhood, I am full of curiosity and ignorance about this world.
As a master, you need to start from two or three months old, guide them carefully and educate them patiently.
Let them learn to distinguish which behaviors are acceptable and which are forbidden.
Combined with appropriate snack rewards, they can enhance their enthusiasm for learning and promote the development of good habits.
2. Respect the cat's personality
While avoiding spoiling, it is also crucial to give cats basic respect.
Try to understand and respect their preferences and dislikes. If some cats are born to dislike wearing clothes, don't force them, because such behavior will not only make them feel uncomfortable, but may also affect their normal body temperature regulation.
As pet owners, our goal should be to be their guides, friends and guardians, rather than unprincipled doting people.
So, have you examined your own way of raising cats?
Is your cat being spoiled quietly?
It is time to re-examine our relationship with them and make sure our love is both warm and beneficial to their growth.
