People who have kept cats have the same feeling, that is, a cat is really not enough to suck, after all, most cats are like inferior domestic mobile phones, charging for two hours and talking for two minutes.
Cats are the same, you coax it for two hours, it can also let you suck for two minutes, more than a little, but sucking cat addictive young that is a call is not satisfied, this is not to mention how uncomfortable, just on the head do not let suck what to do?
Then raise a few more cats, just like the charging treasure, one is not enough, then another one, and then another one.
Cough, that's why many friends have more than ten cats in the house like cats, but how many shovelers who have more than ten dogs at the same time have you seen? Rarely, right?
However, there will be many problems in this, the most important thing is that the old cat will always be very hostile to the new cat, some people think that this is because the cat loves jealousy, think that the new cat will come to rob the shoveler of the pet.
But scientists have found that in fact, this is not the case at all, cats do not care how much the pampering of the shoveler is shared, Stephen O'Brien, head of the Dubzansky Genetic Biological Information Center, said after the study: Cats and humans get along ten thousand years ago, when because of the surplus of grain, so cats entered human life with "oil pickers", that is, eating and drinking postures, and some of the cats that were not so afraid of people stayed with humans and became the current domestic cats.
This is not a process of active domestication, and cats have maintained an active position during this time period, unlike dogs that will feel satisfied by the interaction of the shoveler, cats have no effect on this.
Since cats are hostile to new cats because it doesn't make sense to be jealous, then why do cats not welcome new cats, if they are people, new partners and friends are very welcome.
At this time, we have to understand what social animals and solitary animals are, which is related to the behavioral structure of cats.
Social animals: Also known as social animals, in their groups may consist of one to more than one family. Each family member has a more obvious status, and the representative animal is the lion.
Solitary animals: refers to individuals who do not belong to the group and act alone in a society with a unit cluster, and the feline representative is our brain blessing, no, the big tiger.
The same felines, one is called a mountain can not tolerate two tigers, one is to lead the lion group collective action, the essence of cats is actually a solitary animal, they are accustomed to hunting alone, facing danger alone, and are not adapted to teamwork work, when a cat's territory is challenged by another cat, then it will naturally show enough rejection, which is the same as you can comfortably enjoy a 10-inch cake, but now a person wants to share this cake with you, are you happy or unhappy?
The answer is the same as that of cats, when you are full and do not lack this cake, you will naturally not mind sharing some, but if you are not satisfied, it is natural to reject the other party.
Those who say that cats have a strong sense of territory are not wrong, but cat territory is not always unchanged, and animal territory is constantly changing according to its own needs.
Like the amount of food a tiger eats, it means that there can be no second tiger in the nearby mountain forest to grab food with it, because it will make it hungry, and in the time of food shortage, the territory of carnivores will expand again, and there will be common struggles between carnivores, which is really the kind of brain flower.
But when food is abundant, the territory of carnivores will naturally shrink, like the cat territory studied by scientists, the territory of free-range cats ranges from ten square spaces to thirty kilometers, and the root cause of the constant change lies in food.
Therefore, even if there are dozens of cats in a small home at the same time, they can actually live together, because there is a GM in this range that will provide items that can meet all the cats' living needs.
But each cat has a fixed place that other cats can't set foot on, and once this place is touched by other cats, there will still be fights between them.
Conclusion: Cats are actually solitary animals that can live in a space with other cats because the cat's core territory is suppressed very small when food is plentiful.
The first thing to help old cats accept new cats is to demarcate the core area of the old cat, especially the cat's food bowl, which is the source of food for the cat!
Items between the two cats should be fully distinguished, including food basins, water basins, cat litter basins, cat nests, toys, when the two cats are just in contact, these things should be prepared separately, which can avoid irrepressible contradictions between cats.
The second meaning is to gradually contact to adapt, humans have a safe distance, cats also exist in this way, when there are strange or not under their control within their own safety distance, then we will have anxiety, irritability, attack tendencies and other reactions.
The safety distance of cats is far and near, like some cats with a more relaxed personality, the safety distance may be only one meter, but some sensitive cats may be tens of meters away from the safety distance.
But most cats are not too nervous as long as they can't see, so even if the cat has an extreme personality, it is enough to keep it in two rooms.
Communication between cats is based on calls, body language, odors (pheromones, hormones) and other means of communication, maintaining enough distance, and then let the cat gradually adapt to feel that the other party is not aggressive, which is the best way to alleviate the conflict between cats.
The third meaning is human help, if it is determined which cat is going to join the big family of the shoveler, then the shoveler can first take a toy or supplies with the smell of the new cat and put it next to the aborigines, so that the cat can start to adapt in advance, and when the two cats start to contact, the shoveler can also use some pheromone pheromones to help the two cats relieve tension and help quickly familiarize.
In addition, the shoveler can also help adjust by strengthening interaction and increasing snack rewards, so in fact, as long as the method is right, the shoveler can actually enjoy the happiness of the people.
However, there is still a neuter problem among multiple cats, otherwise multiple cats will still rub out a lot of sparks of love together, which will also lead to a large number of cats in the family.
