Many believe that cat behavior is due to the cat being abused or ignored. I want to get rid of this for you. Abused cats are rare. Most cats are wary of strangers. Bad behavior is usually because they have never been taught correctly or actively played. So how can you identify an abusive or abandoned cat? Let’s see what cat abuse and neglect look like. Then you can talk about the reaction of the cat.
Abuse of cats can be intentional or unintentional. Unintentional abuse is commonly referred to as “neglect” and is addressed by animal protection associations around the world. There are actually three levels of abuse. Neglect, excessive discipline (overuse of discipline tools) and intentional abuse. This article describes neglect, the least harmful form of abuse.
Neglect Description-
Neglect means not addressing the key needs for animal survival: water, food, shelter, rest and hygienic exclusion. Second, there are more serious types of cats that are forced to live in filth, are constantly trapped in cages, and are denied dating with humans or other animals. In many cases this can be caused by castrating or not casting your pet. Unwanted kittens, or too many cats, are the main cause of almost all of this type of abuse. Sometimes people get too sick or have allergies. You may be trying to keep your cat in an environment where you can’t take good care of it.
I remember seeing a homeless man walking down the street with his luggage in his shopping cart many years ago. At that time, he stood out because it was difficult to find a homeless person. He was pushing the cart with one hand and had a carrier with a cat in the other. I feel sorry for both, but when I was a kid I didn’t know what to do. The cat was experiencing negligence, but felt a lot of love. The man probably didn’t know he was harming the cat. He knew he couldn’t put his beloved cat in a shelter-all the shelters I knew at the time were murder shelters.
Older cats (1 year and older) are unlikely to come out of a killing shelter. Most people want a kitten. Adult cats are often given within two weeks to find a home and then euthanized. This tragic situation often occurs when people lose their homes, develop allergies, or do not want to deal with the discipline and behavioral problems that occur in cats. The only biggest reason people give up on cats is improper exclusion. Then allergies come and the cat’s owner dies. Some cats surrender because people cannot move and find pet-friendly accommodation.
I understood the man’s love and anxiety for his cat companion. I also realized that cats cannot live long in their careers. There was no safe place for them. Homeless shelters do not take men with cats. In this case, I don’t think the abuse was intentional-Ignore it, as explained. However, I think the cat and the man’s heart were in the right place. Unfortunately.
In news reports, you may hear about cat farms that are kept until they are depleted and are not kept in optimal condition. Cats become a problem in the neighborhood, listening to people who keep taking their lost children home until they are overtaken and unable to take care of them. All of these situations can create negligence.
Now let’s look at the cat’s reaction to negligence. How do cats react? Why do you do it? By understanding specific situations and responses, affection, patience, and training can address the resulting behavioral problems.
Impact of neglect
Cats left in cages with other animals nearby are often sly and afraid of people. It sometimes expects food and a clean toilet, but hugging and attention may make it uncomfortable. These cats often have no privacy issues in their cages, but when released, they become very private about their litter habits. If the cat is placed in a small carrier, it can pollute itself or delay excretion until it becomes very uncomfortable. You may be dehydrated and need to see a doctor. Cats become overweight due to lack of activity. You may be indifferent when play is offered without knowing what is expected. The lamp means that a person is coming, so it may cause a cat’s horror reaction. In other cases, darkness may be scary at first. It’s okay if the cat’s eyes are adjusted to the level of light, but turning the lights off or on can cause the cat to cry or make hiss. For cats that are in the dark except when people come, they can be scary all the while the lights are on, hoping that food, water, and a clean litter box will be provided.
What can we do to help these cats?
These cats are awkward to handle. It’s better not to try to stroke, hug, or hug these cats in the first place. Let the cat come to you. It will happen if you have time. Pay attention to the comfort of the creatures (food, water, beds, clean toilets). But don’t expect a cute cat for a while. It happens when the cat feels you can be trusted. You may be scared of the sound of your feet hitting the floor. You may run when you enter the room. Over time, the cat stays and is just watching over you. You may also be able to get close to the back of your ear and scratch it. Eventually, you will be able to give a complete hug. Don’t try to pick up the cat, but you can pet it, and the cat doesn’t run away or feel assault. If your cat doesn’t try to escape by snorting, sticking out your cheeks or ears, or stroking your spine, you have a cat that pays attention only to you. Continue until the cat hugs you. This may have already happened. Still don’t try to pick up a cat. If it wants your knee, it will come. This cat can escape from you even if you are surprised by the windowsill, dresser, or toilet. Saying the cat’s name in the tone of the conversation, the cat will not eventually escape and will probably tolerate a stroke. In the case of the toilet, just say the cat’s name and don’t try to hug the cat in the toilet. Cats can stay in the room if they can provide a privacy screen.
These cats need socialization. They need to learn to live with others outside the cage. They need gentle discipline and may not know the meaning of the word “no”. They like to feed, but are afraid if you need to walk near their food bowl and escape from food. Give them time, move slowly, and speak gently near them. They need to learn in a good way what people are about.
Once you learn that your cat trusts you a little, you can start to bond with your cat so that you don’t run away when you enter the room or when you start coming to you. I will. The ticker wand is your best friend for this. Gently shake the cane so that the edges move jerky. Your cat may be interested, but at first you may only see it. Great if your cat likes it! Once the cat has the business end of the wand, it stabilizes the wand for a while and makes the cat feel successful. Once the cat has let go, it can start cramping again. Cats will play with you for quite some time like this. When the cat gets tired, put the cane out of the way and force the cat to play with you as well as the cane. If the cat grabs the cane in its mouth and tries to escape, give resistance and do not let go of the cane. Some cats can take a cane and hide it under or in the corner of the sofa to worry for a while. Don’t allow this-cats need to play with you, not just a cane. After playing with the cane for about 10 days, you will find that the cat is more likely to accept the new situation. Your cat should blend in well with your home. Some people may not accept it, and you can play with the cat to build a bond.
Under no circumstances should the abuse be perpetuated or ignored. Any discipline needs to be done gently and carefully. A long favorite tool for discipline, the spray bottle should only be used in the early stages of training while the cat is learning the word “no”. Then you shouldn’t need it. Redirection is your best training technique. If you are interested in or show interest in something that your cat does not want to be involved in, refocus on what your cat is or is allowed to be involved in.
Some of these cats can be trained in clickers, but first there must be a bond with a person. Intensive training is required to match the cat to the clicker. Some cats are so clever that even the best treats don’t condition them to clickers. If the cat escapes from the clicker after a week of conditioning, do not continue. Your cat is never comfortable with the unexpected sounds it makes. It’s better to clap your hands and say “no” to stop bad behavior than to try clicker training for positive behavior.
These cats are very grateful for the good treatment. Chewing, one of its expressions of love, can be unacceptable. This is especially true if the cat bites hard and uses canines. To prevent the cat from biting or injuring, push your hands or fingers into your mouth instead of pulling. You can push hard enough to cause a pharyngeal reflex, but it’s not difficult at all. Do not injure a cat in response to a person’s injury. Hitting is never acceptable, but raise your flat hand so that the beard of the eyebrows feels acceptable.
If you need to pick up a cat, such as when you put it in a carrier or move it to another room, be careful with your cat’s body. Be sure to lift the cat with your ribs and hind legs at the same time to minimize stress on the cat. If you are stiff, do not hold the cat in your chest. Allow the cat to struggle, but keep it out of the way of the claws. When you put the cat down (don’t let it jump), stroke your back if you can. Talk to the cat. It stops a few steps away and looks at you. If provided, the cat may come to you for scratches. Always speak kindly and lovingly to cats.
Finally –
With all these warnings and shouldn’t, you may find ignored cats too annoying. Not so many. They take a little time to get used to people, but these cats will love you very much once they trust you and know that you have their best interests from the bottom of their hearts. .. The early stages of a neglected cat are of utmost importance. Then you may find a loving, compassionate, demanding cat. It’s demanding because it may not want to leave you. Request because whatever it was rejected before it coveted from you. Moreover, you will be loved very deeply. It cares you that way. If you are down or blue, perhaps sick, the cat will worry about you and try to find a way to comfort you. These cats are very sensitive to their people. Hypersensitivity is a good explanation. Empathy is another good explanation of their behavior. Some cats even approach a symbiotic relationship with their people.
Give love and patience, and love and patience will be returned. Pay attention and attention, and they will be returned. Ignored cats are one of the best pets for an elderly person. Cats are quickly adapted to that person. It will give love and affection to alleviate the loneliness and loss that these people sometimes experience. When a person is ill, the cat will be there for understanding and comfort while allowing the person to take care of him or herself.
