While working on a computer, when you come back from the bathroom, there is a mysterious string on the screen. The culprit is a domestic cat, apparently sitting on a keyboard. If you are a cat owner, you will probably have many similar experiences. Not only a PC, but even when you are reading a newspaper or a book, even if it gets in the way, it is a cuteness that is unique to a cat, but why does the cat disturb people in the first place?
In the first place, it is the action that comes from curiosity and anxiety of the cats. The main reasons are that he wants owner to do something together with his attention. And usually, such behavior should fade away as he get older, but a cat kept with only one animal from early childhood will repeat such behavior even as he get older.
It is caused by the cat’s feline temperament. It is said that “babyling (early ripening)” is derived from the instinct to want to receive love from parents. Originally, cats are curious animals, and in the process of growth, they will learn one by one about their surroundings by living with their parent cats and brothers.
On the other hand, there are many cats that have been domesticated by humans, and they have grown with the same curiosity as kittens. In addition, especially in the case of cats kept indoors, there is no need to hunt on their own, so they tend to be more dependent on their owners and less independent and independent.
Therefore, in the example of the personal computer mentioned above, He learns that the owner gets stuck, and also he feel a sense of security because the owner gets stuck in that way .
By the way, cats are said to have anxiety from human emotions. For example, when the owner is crying, there is also a story that “the tears are licked”, and it seems that he / she sensitively senses the situation of the owner different from usual. Anxiety of the owner is also transmitted to the cat, and he wanders his feet when he is concerned about the unusual behavior, or if the owner is depressed and does not move still, licks a part of the body to see if it is alive or not, In order to appeal their own presence.
My Ciel seems to be less interested in my feelings. She wakes up no matter how sleepy I can not help. But if you look at her cute face, I can feel like getting up early today as well. It is a great influence.
The season has come to spring. Spring is the season when kittens are born. After I got my cat Ciel, I suddenly began to pay attention to stray cats in the city. Sometimes I also wonder what to do when a kitten is in the street. Can this kitten live properly? Can he get food? Should I take him home and feed? So, I checked on the net the correspondence when I found a kitten.
If you find a kitten, first observe it for 30 minutes to see if there are any parents or siblings nearby. Frequently, parents leave their kittens behind and go searching for the next dwelling place or food. Stray cats’ mothers move regularly, but they make one kitten and carry them one by one to the moving next place, which inevitably results in a “missing kitten” while away from home. But in that case, the mother cat will always return within one hour, so please do not take it home.
It is called “abduction of good intentions” that a human misunderstands as an abandoned cat and takes away a kitten while there is no parent cat. Is that kitten really an abandoned cat ……?
Please do not touch the wild kitten easily if you do not want to protect it. The mother cat will not come to pick up with the smell of human beings. Such a child can not be glow alone. He can not live unless I feed him every 3 hours and encourage lactation.
Mother’s colostrum is very important for newborn kittens. He get all the nutrition and immunity. Mother brings up kittens around the clock. If you touch irresponsibly, his mother will give up. Please take care.
When protecting kittens, please only when “clearly abandoned by human hands”, “when in danger of walking around with only kittens”, or “when obviously weakened”.
Also, if you pick up a pre-weaning kitten, “do not drink milk”. And please keep his body temperature with hot water bottle.
And, if you feed milk on his back like this, it will enter the trachea and in the worst case will lead to death. So please do not milk your kitten with his back on its feet.
Protecting kittens with human self-assurance may reverse the future of the child. In particular, cats had a very sensitive sense of smell, so I didn’t know that just touching them could make her get away from it. It is important not to touch the kitten easily.
An amazing thing happened this morning. Ciel did not wake me up. On the contrary, I was worried and got up at 5:30 and went to the living room. There is no ciel there. When I said “Ciel!” to the living room on the first floor with a loud voice, Ciel quietly went up to the second floor. When I fed water-based soy sauce for her usual wet food, she started eating it as usual. Why didn’t you wake up today? On the contrary, I was worried that she might have felt ill, but I left home for work.
When I returned home that day, I knew one possible cause. At around 3 o’clock in the middle of the night, my father, who had been awake for the bathroom, found Ciel in the living room on the first floor, and gave him a Chule (a snack for Japanese cats) that he usually gave only at noon. . Because of this, Ciel may have been satisfied and did not have to wake me up early in the morning. However, because the amount of Chule is so small, I do not think that she will be full of it. Anyway, the effect of Chule is huge. It will helpful if my father-in-law will give it every mid night…
It is a record update again. AM 3:56. At 3:56 AM, Ciel came to wake me up. The time of sunrise is 4:33. It is no longer early morning but late at night. There is no excuse for saying that today is Sunday. It is Sunday every day for cats. Luckily, yesterday I was sleeping 30 minutes earlier than usual, so it was still better. I asked Ciel. “Why do you come in touch only when you want to eat?” Ciel was eating cat food as silent as ever. My life rhythm went completely crazy, I took a nap for about 5 hours this day and spent most of the day sleeping..
