When heading out into nature during the warm season, many cat owners want their pet to enjoy the positive emotions of such a pastime with them.
Still, you shouldn’t rush headlong into it: weigh all the pros and cons, and then make a decision regarding your upcoming trip.
Benefits of going out into nature
Once in nature, the cat will be able to release its energy by hunting flies, butterflies and other creatures that are strongly associated with prey in the animal’s mind.
In addition, your pet is guaranteed to receive fresh impressions and new knowledge, and will also strengthen the respiratory system and get rid of the fear of trips to the country and visits to the veterinarian.
When it is better to refrain from traveling
If your cat is timid and wary of guests and other people's pets, as well as any changes in the house and extraneous noises, go on vacation without it. In case of danger, the animal will probably try to run away or hide under the influence of instincts. It is quite possible that it will be difficult to find the cat.
Such a walk is unlikely to be to the taste of a lazy cat, who prefers to rest all day long, and new objects in the apartment or birds outside the window cause her complete indifference.
It is better to leave the cat at home if it shows independence and does not feel affection for the owner. Having heard the call of nature, such a pet can run away and get into trouble.
Outdoor trips are dangerous for unneutered cats, older animals, and those that have not been vaccinated.
Finally, there is no need to disturb the cat if she is pregnant or sick - she definitely does not need additional stress in this situation.
