Why are cats afraid of cucumbers?

Published

on


Cat’s videos have always been extraordinarily popular on YouTube, but more recently pet owners have captured a newer phenomenon: cats going crazy in cucumbers.
In these videos, cat owners sneak over their pets while they eat, placing a cucumber behind them.
Once the cats finish eating and turning around, they face the cucumber and react jumping and surround them to flee

But why exactly this behavior happens?

Cats are always on alert

As natural predators until the end, even the most lazy cats are aware of their surroundings and the search for dams

Confusing cucumbers with snakes?

Their survival instinct is afraid of everything, intermittent lights to noisy cat toys. Unknown objects that appear at random near them can start them.

Confusing cucumbers with snakes?

While it may not be the cucumber itself that scares the cat, it is the general change in the environment that can evoke an scared reaction.

If something has been silently in the environment in its presence, the cat could easily confuse the cucumber with a predator who prepares to attack.

Pepinos are long and green, which can make cats think that a snake has dragged behind them.

Is it cruel to scare a cat with a cucumber?

He can be tempting to try to scare his feline friend with a cucumber based on the perceptibly fun reactions that he probably obtains, but in reality this could be relatively cruel to his cat.

To deceive his cat to think that a dangerous animal has sneaked behind him or she can cause traumatic stress, and do it repeatedly could even lead to more aggressive or other worrying behavior, or even result in the PTSD in some cases.

You will not want to hire a pet travel service to take your friend to a retirement

Cats can also be injured when they try to maneuver around cucumber, jumping to nearby counters or other objects that result in injuries, or can break close valuable items.
However, if you have completely lost your head and want your cat to become familiar with an inanimate cucumber as a partner for life, it is better if you present the cucumber directly instead of being placed behind them, since they probably never get along if the latter continues to happen.

Try to resist the impulse to leave a “cucumber surprise” for your cat

Even if you simply want to present a cucumber as a surprise gift for a cat, which would be strange considering that there is nothing interest in them for a feline, it would do well to avoid awakening their stress and instead arouse their curiosity.

And although cucumber will finally never hurt the cat, the cat will probably have the same reaction again and again every time it presents itself as a surprise.
One way to see this differently is to imagine that someone is constantly dropping a false spider when you have Arachnophobia.

It would not be so fun, and although it is possible that you do not fall eventually, a cat will probably not learn that it is just a joke.
So, avoid doing your cat’s trick on your cat, since it does more damage than good

I love this story of Max, the cat, obtaining a doctorate at Vermont State U in Castleton after 4 years hanging on the campus.

According to the story, he was a friend of all the students, he helped keep the levels of anxiety, comforted and perhaps even advised them during difficult times and made the campus a more pleasant place to be.

(Copy and paste the link). I think you will enjoy the story.

Does the snoring always mean that a cat is happy?

Published

on


Cat lovers are well familiar with the relaxing buzz of a cat’s snoring and generally associate it with satisfaction and relaxation, but the complexities behind this subtle sound extend far beyond mere happiness. Cats are irrigated by a variety of reasons, offering us some ideas about their psychology and physiology.

Slipping serves many functions

With what most people are related is the scenario of a relaxed and happy cat in a lap while stroking gently. Many people assume that if the cat is snoring, everything is fine. Not always. Ronaronar is more complex than that. Cats can snort when they are scared or threatened, possibly as a means to calm or appease a perceived threat. Like a nervous person, he smiles in an insecure situation, a cat’s snoring during moments of anguish serves as a soothing mechanism, helping them to deal with anxiety or perceived danger and, hopefully, to calm an opponent potential.

Pain relief

This selfolegation behavior and the therapeutic capacity of snoring extend to the times of pain, illness or injury, where it serves as help in pain relief. It is known that females, for example, purify during childbirth.

The role of snoring in early life

The importance of snoring extends to the first moments of cat’s life, since kittens begin to purr shortly after birth. This helps the mother track their babies. Deaf and blind born, newborns also trust their mother’s snoring vibrations to help it, starting the union in those first days.

The curative slice

The benefits of the ronrona do not end there. The investigation suggests that the frequency of a cat can contain healing properties, potentially accelerating bone repair and injury recovery.

The cat’s slice is much more than a simple expression of satisfaction. It is a multifaceted tool and a therapeutic aspect of feline life, for service purposes that range from emotional to physical.

Each cat is unique

With many cats, the slice is audible. It may look like the soft buzz of the best engine, or it may sound like one that has long been tuning. Other cats can have such a quiet slice that he only knows his presence for the soft vibration.

From moments of satisfaction to times of anguish, from the first minutes of life to the last hours, the slice serves as a cat’s constant partner.
