Many people sometimes give in to the noble impulse to take in a poor street cat.

It takes some time for the animal to adapt.

The pet learns to go to the toilet in a certain place, finds a comfortable place to sleep, learns to live without freedom within a limited space.

In most cases, within a short period of time, street cats begin to behave as if they had lived in a palace their entire lives.

Why does this transformation occur?

It is worth remembering that the intelligence of street adult cats can be much higher than that of ordinary pets. They had to take care of themselves and their own survival.

This means that cats react well to any changes in the surrounding world and successfully adapt to them.

If we are talking about positive changes, then it is even easier for cats to get used to them.

Therefore, it is not surprising that a street cat begins to "sort out" food and behave more confidently over time. Also, thanks to these qualities, the pet very quickly gets used to and becomes attached to its owner who rescued it from the street.
