How many cats - so many characters, specific behaviors. The more attention you give your pets the easier it will be able to understand each other. Yes, each other, because not only do we watch them, but they are for us. Many "ailurophile" noticed that the cat is particularly "careful", so to speak, to their owners when they feel that they have a bad mood. The story about cats and "psychics" that relieve pain, and "carers", not for a moment leaving the critically ill.

 

But it happens that the cat's behavior is alarming. I mean the two extremes - aggression and cowardice. Owners of some animals ask for advice, as the "aggressor" to turn into an "angel", while others - like a coward out of making a "normal" cat.

 

Aggressive 90% observed in non-castrated males. Sometimes they start to hunt for their masters, attacking suddenly and painfully to the blood biting his legs. This is a classic example of aggression aimed not at the object, so articulate. "The cat is excited without any reason" - they think its owners, but it is not.

 

Typically, cats live in a very confined space, do not let them outside, where they could vent accumulated excitation. These animals by their sudden attacks on the hosts (or guests) are trying to protect their possessions. If there is no natural rivals, the cats - no one to drive, each passing on its "path" - the enemy.

 

Most aggressive cats are thrown at his feet, but if you start to calm down cock, stroking, lifting off the floor at the time of excitation, may suffer and the hands. Cote tense, the whole "boiling with anger," and approach him in any case impossible: a fierce attack from the bloodletting is guaranteed.

 

What to do if you have an aggressive cat? No need to go too close to the cat if you thought that he was tense, "took the position," knocking the tail on the floor, ears held tightly to his head. Apply diversionary tactic - throw crumpled foil, paper or ping-pong ball to cause a reaction in an animal stalking. If you live on the ground floor, quickly open the door and transom, window. Nor is mad animal gestures and voice. It is better to be silent, to look away. Well to a small "water treatment", of course, if you prudently prepared a cup of water.

 

If the attack is repeated often, it is necessary to consult with your veterinarian, he may appoint your pet a small dose of tranquilizers.

 

Do not feed the cat protein and an aggressive monotonous food. If you want, and perseverance for 10-14 days, the animal can be transferred to the dairy and vegetable (with the addition of fish) diet.

 

Look at your actions.

Think, perhaps, before the "attack" you hurt a cat - came on foot, slapped, cursed and driven out from the long occupied the town - very animals vindictive aggressor.

 

On the other extreme cat behavior - cowardly. If you watched the kittens probably noticed how they just learned to walk in a hurry to escape, hide beside mom-cats at the slightest perception of danger. Later, they start on the defensive: to curve back, press ears, fur on end lift. Gradually learns to distinguish between the danger kitten real and imaginary, and behave accordingly. However, some animals can not adapt to its environment. They, and as adults, prefer to "stay in a dark corner" and a little something to hide behind the sofa or in another secure location. Usually cats sneaking cowardly move, low hanging tail, dilated pupils. Cat tries not to attract attention, and picking a secluded spot, lay there quietly.

 

cowardly cat does not rejoice in life itself and does not please their masters. Furthermore, attempts to stir up, to draw the game may be even more frightened her. And if a cat (or cat) to stick at a time when she tries to avoid unpleasant for a meeting, then, oddly enough, the animal uses the latest means of protection - attacks the "pristavalu", but more often they are the masters.

 

Typically, the reasons for this behavior in childhood. Perhaps your pet has been among their brethren the smallest and frail, did not participate in public brawls (instinct of self-preservation, because it could pin down a junkyard in total). For the same reason he did not come out to investigate some new object, later than other saturated mother's milk. As a result, a kitten does not accumulate experience and grow fearful, and when he robbed from the mother-cat is unable to cope with the influx of new experiences. The most obvious and harmless situation causes him stress and nervousness.

 

What to do if you have a cowardly cat? First of all, do not yell at my family at each other and the more of a kitten. Adult cat equip its own "house". Let your family is still, but the cat will be calmer if she literally feel the roof over your head. TV audio input bell, the noise from the chair to move, the roar of the vacuum cleaner and other annoying sounds until it will reach muted. In my house lives a cat go quietly, in the presence of the owners it will come out rarely. On the advice of a vet can give sedatives, gradually reducing the dose. Good help homeopathic medicines, herbal extracts. Without treatment, and to ensure peaceful living conditions of nervousness, especially when she spotted an adult cat to get worse.

 

Cats, like humans, prone to stress, and many of their illness - a reaction to it. Stress in animals can cause not only extreme situations, but also the most prosaic. On hearing the reason, the owners often wonder: "Yes we would never have occurred" many examples.

 

You left the cat on a vacation with the task to a neighbor who does not love cats, to come and feed it once a day. Or given at this time familiar with the words: "Let's fish and do not pay attention to it." Maybe you have been changes in personal life or daily routine (have come too late.) Decided to consult a veterinary hospitals, but there unfamiliar surroundings, smells, barking and snarling dogs. Appeared in the house puppy or kitten that you give all the attention and affection, forgetting about the old favorites. And the death of a loved one? Or loss of a companion cat or dog, a faithful friend of the family?

 

Of course, both people and cats in different ways to cope with stress. Some of this state is transferred without much harm to themselves, others arise depression, loss of appetite, painful sensitivity to touch (not given iron, sharp jumps), severe hair loss, diarrhea. Often when stress sweat pads. Marks cats (cats for this natural phenomenon) of their possessions and belongings urine - also a reaction to stress. Sometimes there are even depigmentation, "gray" epileptic shek <> Ñ" C,  

How to display the cat out of it? If the animal is at home all the time, and with him there was something wrong, we must observe, "calculate" irritating object. In addition to the above situations, it may even be a new carpet with a characteristic pungent odor, a hamster or a bird. Most often, problems are resolved. In the house where a cat - a family member, someone has to think about how to keep it quiet.

 

Another piece of advice for those who are growing kittens. After two weeks, until their transfer to new hosts (ie, 7-8 weeks) as often as possible to take their hands and saying sweet words, stroking his hand back. Do not be afraid to spoil the kittens, as they say: "Good word, nice cat".
