There should be no shortage of cats who "sleep beauty" during the day and transform into "Prince Bundy" at night, right?
Netizen @ Smit's two cats also love to "jump" on her after she lies in bed. Head, chest, stomach, thighs... No cat's claw is spared.
Like this:
Self-drawn description from @Smit
"I have to wear an eye mask to sleep every night, otherwise it is common for my eyes to be stepped on when I am asleep."
One day after @ Smit was stepped on, I felt a little pain in my chest, I didn't see any improvement in sleeping on my side, and I thought that I stayed up late to sleep too late, but the next day I woke up and still felt a burst of pain, so I went to the hospital for a checkup.
CT results show: right side 5th anterior rib fracture
In fact, the two cats raised by @Smit belong to the normal weight category, and the big one is about 9 pounds:
The small one is only 3 pounds more:
Although it sounds outrageous and belongs to a very small probability event, it is not spared in the end.
For multi-cat families, chasing and fighting is like a common thing, especially at night after the owner lies in bed and prepares to rest...
Cat: You go to sleep late at night, I'm going to take off
Shoveler: Sun Zei, step on me again and tomorrow you will open the can yourself!
One moment the stomach is stepped on, the next moment the chest is pressed, want to sleep well? inexistent!
Without searching, the tragic case of the shoveling officer being trampled by a cat falling from the sky abounds:
There is a "bungee jump" from the wardrobe, with the shoveling official face as the landing point:
There are precise landings from the couch to the shoveler's navel eye, and the navel eye is stepped on:
There are shovelers whose chest is stepped on to the soft tissues that are inflamed:
There are also 9 pounds of cats cats that cats cats directly from the chest in situ:
As cat slaves, in fact, most of us really enjoy the process of the cat sticking to us and interacting with us.
In particular, being "trampled" and "trampled" by his own meow master, there is a kind of "flipped brand" of stealing joy
If you are trampled by a cat, then congratulations, your life of raising a cat is very complete; if you are not trampled by a cat, then congratulations, at least you are a complete person. ——@MQ
It is natural for cats to love parkour, especially cats in their youth, full of energy, and their dedication to chasing parkour every day makes my already flat chest even more miserable...
And the puzzle of the shoveler is: why does the cat parkour always have to step around me?
In fact, cats like to step on people, there are three main reasons:
▌ Originated from the "milk stepping" behavior of the cat's childhood, you are treated as a mother
▌ Divide your territory, step on all the places you like, and you are occupied by it
▌ And trust in you: they say "I love you" in the most advanced way of saying
PS: There is pheromone secretion on the meat pad of the cat, when it steps on it, it will mark the pheromone of the meat pad into the environment and stay on us, which can be understood as "possessiveness" for us
So the cat "stepped" on you and broke three ribs overnight, which actually means that they want to attract your attention, which means that they love you very much.
But in order to avoid being "sent away" by too heavy love, we can try to pay attention to the following points:
01
Play games with your cat during the day
Unleash their energy
▌ Everyone takes a certain amount of time to interact with the cat every day to reduce the time when the cat is bored and Ge You slumps on the sofa.
Drain meow's battery, or you'll find yourself who consumes the battery first.
The time is controlled at 5 to 10 minutes. This prevents some cats from playing too long, causing them to be overexcited and aggressive.
▌ Buy some interactive pet toys, such as toys that can drop snacks.
In addition, to control the play time of a single toy, give the cat a different toy to play, help to maintain the cat's interest in toys. When you are tired of playing, naturally it will not torture you.
▌ Feed the cat some high-protein food as a reward after the game.
The physiological rhythm of a cat is actually patrol-hunting-rest, interspersed with normal behaviors such as mating and breeding and marking territory.
After doing the game at night and then feeding, the simulation is that the cat eats after hunting, and the high-protein food has a feeling of fullness, so after eating and drinking, it naturally has to rest, and it is not easy to be hungry in the morning.
▌ @Arcadia call from a veteran fan of Cute Claw:
I'll put parkour passing cats into the duvet like robber girls... After a long time, the cat is not willing to run around me.
02
Exclude the possibility that the cat has hyperthyroidism
Hyperactive behavior, the most common physiological cause is hyperthyroidism.
The thyroid gland is the energy level control mechanism of cats, and cats with hyperthyroidism not only do not sleep much, but also have a large appetite, and this disease usually occurs in elderly cats.
If it is detected that it is hyperthyroidism, be sure to help the cat treat it in time to avoid heart disease and high blood pressure.
Being trampled by a cat is actually not an individual case, although it sounds a bit funny at first, but we must pay attention to it.
Having more time to play with the cat is also indirectly protecting ourselves! If you think it is useful, remember to share it with the shovelers around you
