  • 14 ways you could be hurting your cat without realizing:
    #14. Neglecting the litter box:
    Cats are very clean creatures. Neglecting to clean the litter box can be harmful to your cat's health, as well as your own. Your cat may even refuse to use the litter box altogether if it is very dirty. The litter box should be cleaned at least once a day if you have one cat, and more frequently if you have multiple cats.
    #13. Not cleaning their food and water dishes:
    You must clean and wash your cat's food and water dishes daily. Leaving food or water unchanged for more than one day gives the bacteria a chance to grow, especially if you're using wet food. This can directly harm your cat's health. Your cats dishes should be taken care of the same way we take care of our dishes.
    #12. Not using the right dishes:
    It is best to choose dishes made of stainless steel and avoid other materials such as plastic and ceramic. This is because these materials get scratched over time and bacteria accumulate inside these scratches, making them difficult to clean. Stainless steel on the other hand does not develop such scratches and is easier to clean.
    Do not choose deep dishes. When the dish is deep, your cat's whiskers touch the sides of the dish. Since cat whiskers are highly sensitive, this can cause discomfort and stress to the cat. Some cats even take their food out of the dish to avoid having their whiskers touch the sides. Therefore, you should only choose wide, shallow dishes.
    #11. Punishing your cat:
    If your cat does something you don't like, never think of punishing or shouting at them. Simply because they will see that you are trying to hurt them, and that will break the bond of trust between you, try searching online for specific reasons why your cat might be acting in this way, and how to address it properly. You will find many tips that can help you change the bad behavior.
    #10. Surprising them:
    You may have seen videos of people putting a cucumber near their cats. This action usually scares cats. In fact, cats are not afraid of the cucumber itself. Rather, they are afraid of the sudden appearance of this thing near them out of no where. This is a natural reflex for cats, as they think it might be a snake or some other animal that wants to hurt them. If you want to play with your cat, look for the right ways to do it and never do such actions with these lovely creatures.
    #9. Waking them up:
    Cats sleep between twelve and eighteen hours every day. They love sleeping a lot and will never be happy if they are disturbed during their sleep in any way. Do not make any loud noises while your cat is sleeping and definitely don't wake them up.
    #8. Ignoring them when they ask for attention:
    Despite cats spending a lot of time alone, they sometimes need to spend time with you to get the affection and feeling of security that you provide. So, you may find your cat trying to get your attention sometimes, either by rubbing against you, sitting next to you, or getting near your hand. When your cat asks for your attention, never ignore them. Doing so will make them feel sad, lonely, and possibly even depressed if you keep ignoring them.
    #7. Loud noises:
    Cats are afraid of loud and unexpected noises such as the sound of vacuum cleaners, a hair dryer, loud TV or loud music, loud human voices, thunder, slamming doors, and many others. Therefore, try your best not to expose your cat to these noises, and definitely never shout at them.
    #6. Strong smells:
    Cats have a sense of smell that is fourteen times stronger than humans. Therefore, cats are usually annoyed by the smells we use around the house, such as cleaners or air fresheners. also products such as perfume, creams, or shampoos bother them. Do not hug your cat immediately after using these products, this could make them associate you with these undesirable smells.
    #5. Grabbing their tail or rubbing their tummy:
    Most cats don't like having their bellies touched. This is because the belly area is one of the weakest areas of a cat's body. In some cases, if you have owned the cat since it was a kitten, or have handled it with great care and made it feel very safe with you, it may allow you to touch its belly. But generally, it is best to avoid doing this if your cat shows signs of discomfort:
    Gripping the tail is also not welcomed. The cat may react with an unexpected reaction if you try to grip its tail. Especially if you pull on it. Avoid any actions that make your cat uncomfortable, so you can be their source of safety and comfort.
    #4. Aggressive Petting:
    When playing with your cat, don't pet it forcefully or quickly. This will scare the cat and make it try to escape. Also, don't hug your cat too tightly. This will make it feel trapped and unable to escape. You should always be gentle when petting or playing with your cat.
    #3. Not respecting your cat's privacy:

      Been thru that. It's horrible. Have inside cats and separate yard cats. A 4 month old kitten vanished 10 days ago. She wouldn't leave as her mom and dad and me raised her with her brother. At 4 months momma cat still loving and washing her and running to see she's not doing unsafe things. Known cats all my life but never have seen a strong family bond like this. Either preditors or accident got her or kids took her. She's only outside cat but I dewormed and treated ears etc. She was my buddy and hurts not knowing what happened loss of cats can hurt more than loss of relatives as they are in our life completely and the loss is a big hole.

    • @janeymashburn7862
      @janeymashburn7862 Год назад

      I understand the loss. I pray she returns to you. Talk to her each day. Shake Treat jars like Friskies. My Sylvie (TNRs) i had 6. She was 3 yrs old. Someone stole her. We live on a cul de sac, walkers always looking toward our home. They heard me loving her and she was hanging on me and rubbing her face on me. Sylvie was super affectionate b/c she was receptive to my others ages 5-12 yrs old. I aches for her. When a pet has crossed over to rainbow bridge they will come to you in a dream. She hasn’t.
      At one time we had 13 TNRs and 6 indoor domestic pets. All of the TNRs became affectionate & unafraid. I’ve lost 3 sibling felines in 18 months. Heartbroken 💔. The TNRs are down to 5 in front and 1 in backyard. Our dog is 15, we’ve had her 12 yrs. She recovered from being abused; no more trauma shunning. God and our Vet ER saved her in 2018. #bouncingbeardie

There have been some awful situations in my life recently that have been making me incredibly depressed! This was a huge decision for me. I have never owned a pet while living on my own. I have always traveled, was always affraid i wouldnt be able to financially keep up with any pet. But now, in my mid 50's, i have saved tooth and nail for this little guy! I have a seperate account that is just for him! Vet visits, if anything ever happened, i know that i am completely covered! It was hard work to save like this, but i have to say......

    I would like to make 3 additional suggestions: 1. Many cats do not like being left alone if you are gone a lot [working, traveling, etc]. You might consider getting a second cat. 2. Indoor cats need to have ways for them to connect with nature [such as having a screened porch or letting them outside in back yard occasionally] 3. Declawing cats can be very traumatic, esp for feral cats.

    Yup!

I report it. What’s worse is that people think those things are funny and owners who get a kick out of scaring their cat, or teasing them only to be drama queens when the cat lashes out.

    Do not use chemicals to clean your cats bowls. They have sensitive noses and they won't like it. Warm water is just fine and I heard this from Jackson Galaxy who is a cat expert.

    • @catloversforum_en
      @catloversforum_en  Год назад +26

      Warm water alone is not enough to clean your cat’s bowls. It won’t remove all traces of food and bacteria from the bowls, and it won’t disinfect them. You can use dish soap to clean your cat’s bowls, but you need to rinse them thoroughly and dry them with a clean towel. You certainly need to avoid leaving any residue on the bowls. You should also use a separate sponge for your cat’s bowls.

Soon as I went back out to work he went outside roaming and was poisoned. I cried for days and still cry and miss him so much. Now my other 2 cats are strictly in the house I never let them out alone and keep my eye on them all the time when I do.

    My orange Tom cat likes to have his belly rubbed. But he trusts me. I talk to him in a low pitched voice, low volume. He finds that somehow soothing; like we're "the same." That, in fact is why he was given to me - he just naturally gravitated toward me so my friend gave him to me. It was either my scent or my voice. He follows me everywhere. We both like to look out the window at the birds. He (like me) loves birdies. I'm thinking of getting him an Audubon Society membership.

    The dishes part. I have a plastic connected water and food dish I’ve been using through three previous cats and my boy uses it. I clean it every day. Hasn’t bothered him one bit! My girl uses the plastic food and water dish that my late Chihuahua used. I clean those every day. My have no preference between the their dishes. They alternate. Hasn’t bothered anyone especially the brown attached one whose seen Moon, Taco, Manny and now alternating between Manny2 and his sister Money. No problem with deepens, no interference with whiskers. Have had cats since 1980. I know what I’m doing and don’t need anyone telling me what dishes to use. I’ve used my late dog’s food bowls also with no problem as my two like to alternate. They don’t care what bowls I use. They’ve not gotten sick because I wash them out good every day. Plastic is NOT difficult to clean if you do it every day. I take good care of my bowls so there are no scratches and my cats previous and current have never gotten sick with bowls used down the line. Use what works for you with bowls.

    Is is ok to give a cat lactose free milk The amount should be small, a liquid treat. When you clean the kitty box be sure there is no evidence of upset. The pet stores sell lactose free milk for cats. I use 1% for myself and warm a little for my cat. Using a wide mouth coffee cup I microwave a small amount of water 45 seconds and sit the stainless steel bowl with the milk on till warm. I’m sure the amount is less than an ounce, only once a day. Mommy has a cappuccino and Trixie gets her milk treat.
