Whether you're sleeping, playing with your phone, taking a shower, going to the bathroom, you'll feel like someone at home is spying on you. Your cat is poking out its little head and keeping an eye on you... Rest assured, people are not hooligans, nor are they voyeurs.
For domestic cats, shovelers take the place of the mother, so they don't like to watch you go to the toilet, but like to follow you. It's to protect you. Afraid you'll get hurt.
Second, the owner as the leading big cat, although there is no strict hierarchy in the cat society, but there will still be a leading big guy, when playing, the leading big cat does something, the kitten will follow along, which is also a kind of herd behavior.
But after the kitten treats the owner as a big guy, he will feel that the owner is taking the lead in doing something strange and mysterious when he goes to the toilet, and then he follows.
3. Patrolling of the Territory
In the nature of cats, there is a sense of territory, and in the past, the territorial range of feral cats can reach several kilometers in diameter, so exploring unknown environments also belongs to their nature of expanding the field. When the shoveler goes to the toilet and closes the door, prompted by curiosity, the kittens will choose to follow along, because they will feel that the owner has a personal territory.
Fourth, separation anxiety, excessive dependence
Domestic cats live a superior life, will not be driven out of the house, do not need to hunt, do not need to be independent, do not need to grow up, so most kittens will still maintain a kitten mentality when they grow up, so they are very clingy like a small child, and they are not allowed to abandon themselves and have independent self-space.
If the parents close the door, the kitten's separation anxiety will show itself, constantly howling outside the door, and then scratching the door, trying to find a way to go in and see the owner, to see if the shoveler has other kittens behind his back!
For now, there is actually no good way to solve the problem of cat clinging! This is probably the sweet burden of love! Usually only mandatory isolation, after all, cats enter the toilet, kitchen and other places, is not safe, because these places are full of bacteria, damp, but also more dangerous, easy to make cats sick or injured!
In addition to mandatory isolation, there is more with the cat to play, the cat's sudden outbreak of hunting game behavior, in fact, is very physically exhausting, usually play for half an hour, you are tired, you need to rest! Therefore, before going to bed, you can play with the cat for a while, which can reduce the anxiety of separation before going to bed!
