Once a cat appears in the house, the pet becomes the object of attention of all family members.

Experts advise giving the animal time to get used to the new place and come to its senses. Stress is not good, and then adaptation to the new place can take a long time.

We will tell you what you should not do in the first days after a cat appears in the house.

Bathe the cat

This is a controversial point, because if the animal got into the house from the street and there are signs of parasites, then you cannot do without treatment. In other cases, you can wait a few days with water procedures.

For most cats, especially adult cats, bathing is an emotional overload.

Scold and punish

It is completely natural if the animal will initially get used to the litter box and leave waste products wherever it wants. You should not scold or punish the cat for this.

The same applies to attempts to damage furniture, carpets, wallpaper and other property. It is better to get a scratching post and repellent sprays.

Children

Small children, in an attempt to pet and pity an animal, can cause it pain, frighten it, and cause it to develop nervous tics.

A frightened pet will hide, afraid of screams, sudden actions and anything incomprehensible - do not leave them alone.

Sleep in bed

You should not take your animal to sleep on your pillow or in your bed.

They get used to good things very quickly, and therefore it is better to immediately make it clear whose place is in the house.
