Probably the most troublesome thing for shovelers after raising cats is whether to let the cats go to bed. We love cats, yes, but it's also true that cats fly everywhere they go. In particular, long-haired cats, although they do not fall on the ground where they go, they can pick a clump of cat hair from the top in the place where they often sleep for half a month.
And the cat usually after all, the paws are directly on the ground, but also to bury the poop, so the cat directly to bed, often sleep in the bed, the bed will indeed have a lot of cat hair and other dirty things. Some shovelers with sensitive skin may have rashes when exposed to these things, so they are reluctant to sleep with cats.
In addition, cats themselves are nocturnal animals, and they will actively adjust with people's habits after living with people for a long time, but in general, they still sleep mainly during the day and parkour at night when they are young. From five o'clock in the morning, the cat is more conscientious than the alarm clock, whether it is hitting you with two paws or licking you all the time, or sitting next to you and staring at you all the time, this is still a gentle wake-up service.
Some cats are directly on the ground walking around and meowing loudly, not waking you up, some cats jump directly from high to your chest, smashing you awake, some cats staring at your feet as toys, swooping around from time to time to bite twice, there is always a way to wake up the shoveler.
Many shovelers who have poor sleep quality, difficulty falling asleep, easy to wake up, and not very good hearts can really be neurasthenia and heart disease caused by this series of operations of cats. We, as humans, can't understand why the cat's small body can toss so much at night.
And the cat's tossing is also different from the dog's, the dog's call is tossing, shoveling the official training two sentences will be finished, the dog will not make a sound. The cat is torture, reprimand is useless, it is useless to drive out, it is useless to shut up, as long as it wants, it can make you sleep all night.
At first, the shoveler was still very rare this little kitten, and he kept hugging it, and after a few days he began to think about the separation of people and cats. Kittens can go anywhere in the house, but only the bedroom is resolutely not, which is the last piece of territory that the shoveler defends for himself.
But the kittens obviously didn't buy it, and as soon as they closed the door, the kittens began to meow, scratching the door and howling. In the bedroom, the shoveler listened to the cat scratching the door outside, howling loudly all the time, and his heart was also very uncomfortable. Not to mention that this noise makes the shoveler sleep worse at night, this reaction is enough for the shoveler to worry about the cat for one night.
When you open the bedroom door in the morning, you can often see the cat crouching in the bedroom door and waiting. As soon as he saw the bedroom door open, he rushed in, and the shoveler went in again to take the cat out.
When the shoveler pulls the cat out a few times, it will be found that the cat will still wait at the bedroom door for the shoveler to open the door in the morning, or howl a few times, and occasionally scratch the door. But after the shoveler woke up in the morning and opened the door, the cat stopped sullen and rushed straight inside. They would carefully observe at the door, poking their heads inside the door and observing the shoveler's reaction. Without obvious resistance, the shoveler would quickly run in and find a corner to hide, and then lie comfortably on the bed.
Seeing this kind of cat's reaction, the shoveler will really be very sad. But the shovelers also know that if you want to keep the cat from entering the bedroom at all, you can only firmly keep the cat outside, otherwise you will lose your previous efforts.
So how do we make the cat understand that we don't want it in the bedroom? Or don't you want it to disturb the shoveler's sleep?
Some shovelers "treat their cats in the way of cats", the cat just buried the poop directly to bed, the shoveler also put the cat litter in the cat nest; the cat quarreled at night until the shoveler slept, and the shoveler did not let the cat sleep during the day. It's fun, but it doesn't work, and the cat thinks the shoveler is playing with it.
If you decide from the beginning not to let the cat into the bedroom, close the bedroom door as soon as possible and never let it in. Playing with the cat for a while before going to bed at night consumes the cat's energy and makes the cat feel enough company. Prepare a comfortable place for the cat to sleep outside, because if the cat feels that the sleeping conditions outside are too different from those in the bedroom, they will persistently want to return to the bedroom.
Finally, every night before the shoveler enters the bedroom, you can say a word to the cat, or a fixed action, and slowly make the cat realize that this is a signal, which means that the shoveler is going to go to sleep, and will continue to come out to accompany him when he wakes up.
Cats are clingy, but they are also very pleasing to themselves. They want to follow their master into the bedroom to sleep, just to follow the master, or to be more comfortable in bed, or because the shoveler never lets him into the bedroom, it is curious. Knowing that the cats are careful and telling them in the right way that they can't, they will obediently play with their own toys outside.
