believes that you all have heard the experience of "cat crying". It's midnight, late at night, and the sound of a child crying suddenly in the dark. It will definitely scare people to death. Of course, you will understand that this is just cat estrus. It's just a scream, but it's enough to scare you!
Cats don’t bark normally. Why does this cat bark so badly during estrus? Is it a male cat or a female cat?
cat crying and cat crying
actually have a difference between cat crying and cat crying. The cat crying mentioned above is actually a miserable cry, while the usual description of cat crying is the kind of crying that is "scolded" to the heart. Let's first briefly talk about whether this cat will really cry because of being scolded by you?
Zoologists tell us that the cat’s lacrimal glands are very developed and the tear ducts are very short, so tears can come out at any time. Some have a slightly irritating smell or they will cry when they move a little bit, even when they chew food. There will be tears in your face, so do you think this is crying for joy?
Of course not, this is the emotion that we humans impose on cats! But crying is crying, but the cat's tears and emotional expression are not synchronized, so you can cry as a cat, anyway, the cat is easy to cry! What's the matter with
meowing?
Cats also bark under normal circumstances, but it’s just a “normal” meowing. This “horrible” cry will only appear in the estrus period. Animals have undergone a long period of evolution. This is sex. The reproductive cycle phenomenon of mature female mammals in a specific season! Why does
have to evolve for a long time? Because the environment in the wild changes from year to year, animals born in seasons with abundant food are relatively easy to grow up, but in seasons when they are scarce, even their parents are unable to sustain themselves and still have the ability to raise cubs? So naturally we eliminated the variety that doesn't follow the natural routines!
Although pets are no longer worried about the source of food after being raised by humans, the menstrual cycle of millions of years is not changed by just changing, so calling the opposite sex during estrus is a headache for pet friends! Why does
cry so badly? The estrus period of
female cats generally lasts 1~3 days. During this period, the female cat’s temperament will change drastically, such as making a louder bark, rubbing against various objects at home, and touching the cat’s limbs. Lifting up, in short, it's getting restless, and it's easier to accept males! The most obvious feature of
is to use the "howl" method to call the male to approach. This sound can be said to be a relatively monotonous howling, which usually lasts for 2-3 minutes, but about 12% of female cats will continue Calling, such as Siamese cats, is particularly obvious! There are also 14% of cats that have a particularly big difference in crying sounds, and most of the crying sounds of ordinary babies come from these cats!
Animals also have sounds similar to humans. This is a semi-rigid cavity with a fibrous door located in the trachea. When the vocal cords are opened and closed or adjusted in different widths, they will produce different tones. The human vocal cords actually It is also similar, but humans can speak language because they have oral tongues and nasal teeth to make each syllable, while animals can only make the original sounds of the vocal cords or sounds that pass through the resonance of the oral and nasal cavity!
So cats can only make bleating and "howling" or about 6 other sounds. In 1944, Mildred Mork published an article in the American Journal of Psychology, saying that she studied cats’ calls. It can be divided into five categories, which represent various meanings, namely "The Purr, Chirr, Call, Meow and Growl/Snarl/Hiss", etc. Of course, what we are more concerned about today is "Call", which is what is mentioned above. "Howl"!
When the female cat starts to "howl", the call will be imitated by the male cat, and then the female cat will answer again, so the "cat crying" sound is formed one after another, and some sounds are very close to the baby crying. Scary sounds, especially in houses where no one has lived for a long time, such as "desert villages", are particularly scary! The behavior of
cats is disgusting? In fact, this is the principle of survival in the animal kingdom.
male cats use urine to mark their sphere of influence. Of course, this is a felineVirtue, but cats may be cuckolded when they mark them, because they attract each other through barking and cater to female cats fertilized after mating. The gestation period is about 60-70 days. In a litter of kittens, there are usually several fathers. , Maybe even every cat has a dad!
So this female cat's behavior is definitely a scumbag, and she is a estrus several times, including those unfertilized male cats, so you can imagine how messy this cat's private life is!
But don’t think it’s a pleasure for cats, but a very painful experience, because male cats have penis spines on their penis. This is a protein particle that prevents female cats from escaping during mating. It can also stimulate female cats to ovulate, but this function is not so friendly to female cats!
But in terms of the two significances of survival and reproduction, what is this pain? Isn't the mother cat so scumbag just to ensure that the next generation has kittens! So the male cat’s green hat is fixed, but it’s okay, don’t you all have a brother-in-law, make a table, Mahjong Mahjong!
This is the estrus call, just call it, and the call is so miserable, this is really panic! Is there a way to stop the cat from screaming? The method is also simple, neutering, so sterilizing pets has become an industry, but don’t think that cats will no longer howl after neutering. Sterilization can only solve the howling problem of cats when they are in heat. Howl of the factor!
still have to figure out the mind of the master, let it go before calling it! So where do you think Master Meow came from?
