If you have a cat at home and a vacuum cleaner, you may have witnessed the so-called confrontation between the animal and the household appliance.
In the understanding of a cat, a vacuum cleaner is nothing more than a monster, and at the mere sight of it, some particularly sensitive representatives of the feline family run away.
The reason most likely lies in the loud noise that the vacuum cleaner makes.
Since it is impossible to completely abandon the idea of tidying up using a device, it is worth learning what techniques can reduce the stress that a pet experiences because of a vacuum cleaner.
To begin with, try simply leaving your pet and the non-working unit in the same room so that the cat can sniff and touch it. If the acquaintance was successful, do not forget to treat your tail with its favorite delicacy.
After this, you should leave the vacuum cleaner for several days, periodically moving it from place to place, but avoiding areas near the bed, bowl and tray.
Now you can try leaving the cat in one room and turning on the vacuum cleaner in another. Make sure that the pet is in the company of another family member who will play with it and reward it with a treat.
The next step is to take the vacuum cleaner in your hands and turn it on for a while in the presence of the animal.
Afterwards, you can try vacuuming, keeping the direction away from the cat. After you are done with cleaning, do not rush to put the vacuum cleaner back in place - give your pet the opportunity to once again make sure that such a neighborhood is safe.
