Many people think that cats are naturally aloof and independent, and do not recognize their owners, but in fact this idea is more stereotypical than and . So do you think a cat will be sad if its owner is changed halfway?
Let’s take a look at the stories of netizens:
Netizen 1: When my cat was 5 months old, I took it home. It was very small and thin. It was a stray cat. I thought it was pitiful, so I took it home.
The cat is very docile and is naturally friendly to people. It likes to stay with me very much and even plays games with me.
Gradually, the cat has grown up, and it is much mellower than before. It loves me even more now. It welcomes me home at the door every day, sleeps with me, and often acts coquettishly towards me.
Netizen 2: I took my cat home when it was still a kitten. It gets along very well with me and feels at ease having to sleep with me every day.
Once I had to go to the hospital for surgery due to appendicitis . Therefore, I couldn't take care of the cat during the two days in the hospital, so I had to leave it to my mother to take care of.
My mother called me on the second day after I was hospitalized and said that the kitten had been waiting for me at the door and was not eating or drinking. She was very anxious.
Later, after I was discharged from the hospital, my kitten saw me, meowed like crazy, circled around me, and rubbed against me everywhere, as if to say: Master, where have you been? I am so anxious, I really miss you, you are finally back.
And the kitten also started to eat.
Will cats be sad if they change owners halfway?
Kittens are generally raised when they are about 2 months old. They can easily integrate into new owners, adapt to new environments, and have a strong ability to accept new things.
Their memory is relatively not very deep. Even if their owner changes midway, they will soon forget it. They only know that the person who raises it now can give it food and drink.
Adult cats have a very deep memory of their owners. The longer they stay with their owners, the deeper their memories will be. Moreover, they are accustomed to their previous lifestyle and have difficulty adapting to new owners and unfamiliar environments.
Especially the previous owner treated it very well and loved it very much, but the more difficult it is for it to adapt to the new owner.
What impression will a new owner have on the cat?
, producing stress reaction
Some cats are naturally timid and sensitive, and have not seen any new environment. If the cat is directly given a new owner, the cat may have a stress reaction, become anxious, and in severe cases, even go directly to the cat planet.
If a new cat is brought into your home, it may be very anxious if it has been raised by another owner. First, do not disturb it and let it stay in a corner. Do not force it and let yourself slowly become familiar with the environment.
In addition, be sure to bring back toys and food that the cat is familiar with. This way, it will have some sense of security.
Pet owners can slowly approach the cat, interact with it, accompany it, and give it some snacks during the interaction to make it relax its vigilance towards you.
, poor appetite
When a cat has to face a new owner and has not yet recovered from the sadness of the old owner, not only will its mood become very bad, but it may also have a very poor appetite.
The editor has something to say: Adopting a cat midway through requires a lot of courage. After all, cats have to adapt to leaving their previous owners, but please also give the cat more care and patience~
