In the quiet of the night, the darkness that drowns everything is always hidden some secrets that are difficult to discover, and the same is true for cats, cats are nocturnal animals that we are familiar with, and nature is a good time to play its own strengths at night, but cat activities at night may not be as normal as human cognition, and some people have studied and found that cats will hold parties at night.
The identity of the person who first discovered this cat's behavior is unknown, and the editor guesses that it should have been quietly silenced by the crowd. However, through the ancient and modern books, there are very few records of cats' nighttime gatherings. But it is obvious that cats get together at night, and the owners often find in the confusion that the meows are gathered in groups of three or five, and after a while, they seem to disband in pairs. This raises the question of what exactly they are doing. Why get together?
According to this, the editor who is full of poetry books has also made his own guess. The reasons can be summarized as follows:
First, strange cats meet to show friendship
For the newcomer cats, it is natural to meet the local cat boss first, in order not to want to have a useless quarrel and fight, so make a pre-each other such as the first meeting, hello, I am... A self-introduction?
Because such nocturnal gatherings only occur in densely populated areas with high cat density, this kind of situation is rare in places with low cat density.
There are various opinions on the purpose of the cat rally, but many experts believe that the gathering of cats in the same area is likely to confirm whether there are outsiders breaking into the territory.
2. Foraging
Cats will also be hungry at night, hungry nature is naturally to forage, but the night is so dark, so afraid of ah, alone out of the foraging encounter some unclean things that are not good! So the cats are planning to kill in groups to go out to forage for food, so there are many people, and it is natural to have a meeting before foraging, Xiao Hei goes to the east, Xiao Bai goes to the south, Xiao Ming goes to the kitchen... Loot until the food is handed over and distributed uniformly!!
Of course, there will also be some people who choose to feed the cats at night, especially for stray cats outside, people who like cats will always be kind enough to give food to stray cats, so they will gather a lot of stray cats for a meeting. Stray cats usually do not return immediately after eating, and they stay around the bait for several hours.
The above two reasons do not know whether you are satisfied, there are shovels of that do not obey, do not sleep at night, take a good look at what your cat is doing. Basically, cats are nocturnal animals, so they often meet at night. But there seems to be no fixed assembly time, but they are gathered together inexplicably and scattered inexplicably.
Is it good for cats to party at night?
Next, it is time for science popularization, although the cat is a night owl, but the cat will still disturb the owner's rest at night, right? And a large number of cat activities will also make a mess indoors, the outside stray cat management is more troublesome, then for domestic cats, the owner can discipline it, if the domestic cat lets it wander around at night, in the process of rat hunting, mating and tearing, it is possible to be injured or dirty body. Cats are not conducive to the health of cats and also affect indoor hygiene. Such cats tend to be very wild and not well managed. If you bring back an infectious disease, it may also affect the health of the owner. Therefore, family cats cannot be allowed to travel at night.
An enclosed porch or a window that extends outward is a great place for cats to safely communicate with nature. If your yard has a fence, another good way is to put the fence on the internet and put the cats in your yard. During the day you can train your cat to walk with a belt, but be careful that you must use the lightest recyclable belt and attach the chest and abdomen band instead of the collar. Get your cat used to wearing a chest strap indoors, and then you can take it outside for adventure.
In addition, correction of the cat's nocturnal sex must begin with the kitten. When you start tuning, you should use a cage to domesticate the cat, release it during the day, and move indoors, but you must not put it outdoors and catch it back in the cage at night. Over time, you will develop the habit of not going out at night even if you remove the cage.
