Cats represent coziness and comfort in the home. Their soft fur and cute little faces make you want to pick them up, pet them and stroke them.
But animals themselves hardly need hugs. Moreover, such displays of love can have a negative impact on humans.
Today we'll tell you about four reasons why you should be careful about close contact with a purring pet.
Hygiene
In terms of hygiene, cats are completely different from people: they do not shower daily, do not wash their paws with soap, and do not brush their teeth.
Medical factor
Hidden diseases that your pet may have are a ticking time bomb. This is especially true for cats that roam outdoors. Indoor cats may also be at risk, as they may pick up an infection that you bring into the house on your shoes, clothing, or in some other way.
Cat temperament
Features of the animal's psychology, its character and temperament. Excessive activity on the part of a person can cause discomfort and even pain to the cat. Of course, the animal will begin to defend itself, and the degree of "defeat" of the offender will entirely depend on the character and temperament of the animal.
Mysticism
Since ancient times, people have believed in the supernatural abilities of cats. These animals often appear in legends and myths. Although many myths are fiction, some signs have a basis.
Previously, we talked about how cats affect men’s health.
