Many people may have heard the phrase "don't raise cats for ten years", what is the meaning of this sentence? After reading the stories shared by netizens, you must understand that there are these truths behind it, no wonder the old people say so!
Netizen self-report:
My cat was brought home when my daughter was in the third grade, and it didn't die of old age until my daughter got married, at the age of 20.
When it left, I buried it in its favorite woods, hoping that it would be fine in heaven.
When it left, my daughter and I cried silently, and I felt a twitching pain in my heart, and I was really not used to it in the days that followed.
I can't help but look forward to its sudden appearance, I think I must be stunned, and for many years after that, I haven't completely recovered, until I met a cat that looks like it very much, I think it may be reincarnated to find me.
In my personal understanding, if you don't keep a cat for ten years, it's not that you have to abandon it after ten years, but because cats have successfully integrated with our lives and are inseparable.
And the life span of the cat is more than ten years, when it is ten years old, it means that it is already old, life has begun to enter the countdown, the appetite is not as good as before, and walking may not be able to see the road clearly, the heart is strange and uncomfortable, I really feel that I don't know which day the cat will leave itself.
What are the signs of a cat dying of life?
1. Can't eat, can't even drink water, and will foam at the mouth;
2. It becomes extremely clingy, and it screams when I can't see you for a second;
3. Find out your lost old things as a farewell signal;
4. Drowsiness, every day as if you can't wake up, many cats pass away in their sleep;
5. Incontinence, don't scold it, it can't help it, and it's about to say goodbye to you.
