What not to do with cats
Each cat has its own personality, of course; So what one likes, another may dislike. Anyway, there are some general things you should avoid doing with them, because the vast majority hate them. Follow the list below.
- caress the belly
While dogs simply love a belly rub, most cats hate being touched in that region and that's practically a consensus among kitty tutors. Therefore, avoid petting this part of their body as much as possible.
- Keeping potentially toxic plants at home
In this case, it is not a question of whether or not cats like plants and flowers. The problem is that some of them are toxic for them. Therefore, do not have any kind of lily at home, nor anthuriums, much less hydrangeas and dracaenas.
Buy colorful soft shipping boxes
When a cat is transported, it creates stress for him. In this sense, you must make this moment as unannoying as possible. Instead of soft, colorful boxes (which attract prying eyes), opt for boxes made of hard material for stability and in neutral colors.
- give chocolate
This is yet another guideline for your pet's health. Chocolate has a substance called theobromine, which is toxic to both cats and dogs and can cause diarrhea, vomiting and even death of the animal.
- give scares
Do you like to be scared? Certainly not. Yeah, your cat doesn't like it either. Any kind of scare is bad for these cats. They can even be traumatized to the point of being always alert and insecure in the environment.
- cut the mustache
The mustache has an important sensory function for cats. You should never try to cut the mustache of this or any other animal. There are some cats that are extremely upset even when this part of their body is touched.
- make the cat bored
Animals need activities to stay entertained and healthy, especially those who spend all their time indoors. So pay attention and arrange toys to keep your kitty always busy.
