Is your cat scratching your sofa or shitting in your slippers? This is not mischief, but a cry for help.
For example, a closed tray with a lid causes claustrophobia in animals - they would rather end up in your closet than climb into a "cave" with smells.
And scented litter irritates cats' sensitive sense of smell. Choose neutral clay or silica gel options.
The most terrible thing
But the worst thing is cheap food. Canned fish labeled "for cats" often contain bones and skin that are not digestible.
Look at the ingredients: if the first three ingredients are grains, it's a dud.
Cats need at least 80% meat.
Little known facts
They also hate dirty dishes - bowls must be washed after each meal, otherwise the pet will go on a hunger strike.
And if a cat constantly licks its fur until it goes bald, that's not cleanliness. It's a sign of stress from loneliness or an allergy to your washing powder.
Switch to hypoallergenic products and buy a pheromone diffuser - it calms animals.
And never yell at a cat! It will remember the insult and begin to take revenge on the sly.
Hidden reasons
Cats mark their territory when they feel threatened. If you bring a new smell (for example, after interacting with other animals), your pet may start to poop on your bed.
Use pheromone sprays to neutralize "competitors".
And if your cat scratches door frames, install vertical scratching posts near her favorite spots.
Games are the key to peace
Cats that are deprived of activity become aggressive. Buy interactive puzzle toys or make your own: hide treats in a cardboard box with holes.
Give your pet 15 minutes a day to hunt for “prey” – this will relieve stress.
And don't forget about the height! Cats love to watch the world from the top shelves - equip them with a "house" on a cabinet or windowsill.
