17 Things You Should Never Do To Your Cat In Your Lifetime

Your kitty disturbs your radio set, and you pounce on him as if he is a traitor. Punishment, in short, is connected by felines to the person. In this scenario, the relationship between yourself and your cat can turn sour.

Avoid yelling because it only shows how critical you are of their behaviour. When cats undergo stressful situations, they pee randomly in wrong places. As an indifferent cat owner, you should take the blame for his bad behaviour and not your cat.

Meet a cat behavioural expert and learn the right method to handle your cat.

Cats, in general, require plenty of mental stimulation. Indoor cats need a lot in particular. Sleeping is one of the favourite activity all cat loves doing.

On a daily basis, try spending quality time with your cat, at least 10 minutes, thrice a day.

Pamper them with cat toys, especially with catnips.  In this way, you can get your cat to undergo a different experience.

Cats are quite finicky about their toileting. Some cats also ask for a separate tray for their fluid and solid excretions. Sharing a litter tray with a new cat indicates going soft on territorial limits.

Maintain the trays as clean as possible. No cat will like to use a nasty toilet and to register their protest, they might poop outside the tray.

If you find it difficult to clean the litter trays on a daily basis, then buy the latest self-cleaning litter machine.

Most cases of cat aggression include situations where the cat feels trapped, stressed, or nervous.

Cats, under normal situations, like to move away from depressing situations, but when pushed into a corner with no escape paths, they may retaliate. There’s a myth that cats are scared of cucumbers; never try them with cats and they may feel the phobia to everything else.

Kindly remember this simple fact about cat behaviour. Leave them alone and they will never disturb you.

Mosquitos and fleas that carry heartworms enter your home without any announcement and prove to be a headache.

Fleas can enter your home when you meet your friend with a cat or dog, and a small gap is enough for the mosquitos to sprint in.

With a plenty of flea treatment and heartworm prevention available across the table, your cats are safer than ancient times.

Important tip –  Heartworms in cats do not have a perfect cure and can be fatal.

Poorly closed windows can cause serious troubles to your cat. Curiosity over a cool sparrow’s fly-by can easily excite your furry friend and he may plummet.

If you are a working professional and something untoward happens when you are away, your cat would be in a critical situation.

Avoid this scenario by keeping the windows securely locked.

Most felines hate travelling and curse being stuck inside a mobile carrier. A free-range feline inside a moving vehicle can turn into a furry, terrified animal.

An unleashed cat is disturbing to the driver. They are, in fact, prone to injury. With a loose cat moving helter-skelter inside the car, your next stop is a hospital.

Place your cat’s carrier in a secure place before embarking on a road trip.

An exciting Kitty dipping her nose into the container may appear disgusting, but your cat deserves more respect. Kicking or manhandling your cat in anger can injure her,  both mentally as well as physically.

Treat them like a newborn child with extra affection and love, and your feline friend would never behave badly again.

Cats do not like to get their teeth’s clean and white, and this may prompt you to feed her with cat dental treats.

Over time, plaque buildup causes tartar, which leads to tooth loss and eventually excruciating pain to your cat.

Regular brushing of your cat’s teeth will ensure that your cat’s health and gums are good. You can also prevent unnecessary expensive dental cleanings by a vet.

Your Jelly looks healthy. He is active as usual, looks happy, and eats well. Cats are known to suffer from health issues, ranging from cancer to poor eyesight.

Cats are master actors when it comes to hiding their real health condition. A regular vet visit can help you identify and cure minor health issues before they turn horrible.

With your feline’s health condition recorded, there hardly remains any surprise.

When your cat is insured, you can heave a sigh of relief because you are free to choose the best therapy on your vet’s recommendation.

There are a lot of diseases that can drain away all your savings such as diabetes etc. Choose the best possible pet insurance for your cat and avoid this tricky situation.

With a microchip, it’s only a matter of few minutes to scan and identify the rightful owner by the shelter or any rescue agency.

Lack of any solid cat ID or tags will only delay the process of reunion with the rightful cat owner. Microchip your cat and feel safe.

Declawing means removing the upper portion of every toe. Never ever declaw your cat. If your cat irritates you with his scratching, then contact a cat behavioural expert for further suggestions.

There is a lot of scratch-resistant poles and toys available in the market and your vet could guide you better in this area.
