Xiao Hu's cat likes to steal Xiao Hu's hair at night after eating insects during the day. I originally thought this was the most bizarre thing.
When shopping for the post, I found that Xiao Hu still underestimated the cat.
Let’s take a look at how novel the cat’s pica can be?
All plastics, wires, wires, tapes, and towels are cats’ favorites.
The plastic packaging cats at home don’t want to let go of any of them, and they will chew them when they catch them.
All the garbage in the trash can was kicked out, and after sucking in as garbage, licking the garbage bag, and wrapping it around with the squeaking sound of biting the trash can.
hair rope, rope and other hair ropes, you can see a thread when the cat is "fishing for shit" on his butt the next day.
is not recommended to pull it out directly at this time, because it is difficult to tell whether the cat eats a hair ring or a rope. Forced pulling out may damage the cat's intestines.
Originally, Xiao Hu thought that the cat liked cartons, but she liked the tape or tape-shaped plastic exposed in the express box.
Some other poop shovelers said:
cats may be caused by pica.
First, let’s understand what pica is
pica is a pathological manifestation of some foreign bodies other than sucking or licking food in . is also a common nutritional metabolic disease in pathology.
cat pica is often manifested in swallowing foreign objects such as wood chips, stones, rags, mud, sand, hair, green grass, etc. Sharp foreign objects may damage the mouth, causing salivation and oral bleeding in ; even if it may cause obstruction or perforation of foreign objects in the esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
Causes of pica pica in cats
Psychological problems
When cats have psychological problems such as anxiety, stress, etc. , there will be compulsive sexual behaviors. Due to psychological problems, cats will also cause pica pica.
Nowadays, many pet cats rely on their owners very much and like their owners to masturbate their hair. is like Ragdoll Cat and Siamese Cat . If the owner has not rubbed his hair, held it, or played with it for a long time, they will really be depressed.
This behavior depends on the cat's ability to accept. Most cats don't like the of another cat at home, which makes them feel that their territory has been violated. In this case, one of the two cats will always be anxious.
inheritance
pica is inherited, and , such as Siamese cats and Berman cats , are all cat breeds that are prone to heteroeating behavior. If you keep these cats, you can pay more attention to them.
Don’t accidentally eat everything.
Parasites in the body
If there are parasites in the cat, in addition to swallowing foreign objects, will also experience a lot of hair loss, dull fur vomiting, bloody stool , etc.
The body lacks certain vitamins or trace elements . There are about 70 trace elements in
, referring to elements ranging from 0.01% to 0.005%. Including iron, iodine, zinc, selenium, fluorine, copper, etc., the lack of trace elements will affect intelligence, emotions and the development of some organs. Vitamins are a kind of trace organic substances that humans and animals must obtain from food in order to maintain normal physiological functions.
If cats lack trace elements and vitamins, it will cause emotional, psychological and physical discomfort. They will look for something to eat on their own, hoping to supplement trace elements and vitamins in the body.
Cat's rebellious psychology
When the cat was young, the owner saw what the cat was biting and snatched it hard. There may be a hint in the cat's mind: he won't give it to me! I insist on it!
Under such psychological effects, cats will be more interested in this thing and bite them every time they see it.
Is there a solution to cat pica pica?
1. Correct it little by little, and wipe the wires at home with lemonade or other cats that are disgusting to prevent the cat from biting the wires and swallowing them.
2. If the situation is serious, you must seek medical treatment. , especially if you swallow wires, gravels, and other things that may cut the stomach or intestines or may be poisoned, seek medical treatment immediately.
3. Clean the cat litter box in time. Once eats poop, clean the cat immediately after going to the toilet.
4. Enrich the dietary structure and supplement trace elements and nutrients. Cat owners should pay attention to supplementing trace elements for cats. They can feed the cat some trace elements.
But be careful not to feed the cats trace elements that people eat, as this is not good for the cats. You can consult a doctor and give your cat some nutritional supplements that supplement trace elements.
5. The care and companionship of the cat owner is the key to solving the psychological problems of cats. Cloth the cat more and play together.
Don’t always keep your cat in a cage. No matter how luxurious the cage is, it is always a cage. Cages can be used as emergency responses, but keeping cats in cages will largely lead to psychological problems for cats.
