THESE 10 Everyday Things Hurt Your Cat Emotionally! (STOP it)
Of course, cat owners only want the best for their pet.
Nevertheless, sometimes they do something that can be unintentional, but bad for the cat.
To make sure this doesn't happen to you, we're going to tell you 10 things you should never do
with your cat, because these mistakes can even be dangerous for them.
1. Put poisonous plants in the house.
Some houseplants are poisonous to cats. That's why you should make sure you know about them
before you buy them. It can end badly if you bring the wrong plants or bouquets into the pet household.
2. Being pushy.
Unlike dogs, cats are not necessarily dependent on humans. They also like to have their quiet
time and if your cat doesn't want to be petted right now, you should accept that.
It will certainly come to you of its own accord.
3. Provide food around the clock.
Your cat should not suffer from hunger, but you should not provide food around the clock.
This increases the risk of her becoming overweight.
4. Feed only dry food.
Since cats hardly have the urge to drink,
they should be able to absorb a lot of moisture through their food.
If a cat is consistently under-hydrated, it often leads to tooth decay,
bladder stones and urinary tract infections. So if you feed only dry food,
then your cat can become dehydrated. It is best to provide her with wet food 1x a day.
5. Giving too much milk.
Cats like to drink milk, but you should not give it to them.
The lactose it contains can cause stomach aches or other discomfort.
Instead, reach for cat milk or, even better, water.
6. Pushing the cat.
Even if you find your cat in forbidden places, like on the bed or the kitchen counter,
you should still not push it roughly on the floor. Your relationship can take
damage from it and the push can harm your cat psychologically and physically.
7. Shave the cat.
You should not shave your cat even in summer, even if you think that your cat's fur is much too warm.
The fur helps your cat to regulate its body temperature. So shave it only if it is ordered by the vet.
8. Giving the wrong medication.
Do not give your cat any medication unless it has been discussed with the vet.
You should also not think of giving medications that are meant for humans or dogs.
These can cause great harm to your cat.
9. Ignore behavior changes.
If your cat becomes withdrawn, or if the loving cuddly cat suddenly turns into an aggressive
beast, these can be signs of illness. If your cat's behavior has changed so drastically,
then you should make an appointment with the vet and by no means ignore it.
10. Leaving cat alone for longer than 24 hours.
As a rule, cats can stay alone longer than dogs. However, you should not leave them alone for more
than 24 hours and only provide them with food and water. Your cat still needs cuddles and love.
