Cats are the most popular pets in the world, and it is not surprising, because they are charming, mysterious and beautiful.
All these characteristics make us, their owners, spend hours watching graceful and agile animals, and also fight the irresistible desire to caress, stroke and pamper them every minute.
But do cats themselves need such "tenderness"? Let's figure out together what excessive hugs and caresses lead to and why you shouldn't ignore your pet.
Too much attention
The main difference between dogs and cats is that dogs are always happy to be petted, while cats only enjoy being petted when they want it.
However, the purrs do not intend to hide this, moving away and even running away when you try to hug them.
If your pet exhibits this behavior, do not insist, so as not to stress the animal.
Instead, pick up your pet and scratch behind the ear when he meows or rubs against your legs.
Lack of attention
Lack of communication with your cat is no less destructive to your relationship with your pet, since these creatures love to be the center of attention and do not want to feel forgotten.
Try not to leave your pet alone for long periods of time, as you may find scratched furniture and damaged items upon returning home.
Left alone, the cat may feel abandoned, experience stress and, in anger, begin to take revenge by damaging things. When you return home, be sure to give the cat 10 minutes - this will make both of you happy and calm.
