There are cute pets at home, and cats are naturally one of the most popular choices. But many cat slaves have had this experience: when they want to interact with the cat intimately, they run away. So, why do cats always "chase the cat and run"? And how can we deal with this situation and easily catch our cat? Next, let's take this issue together.
1. Three reasons why cats "chase cats and run".
1.A natural instinct to escape
Cats are natural hunters and have excellent catching abilities. However, they can also become prey for other animals. In order to protect themselves, cats will immediately choose to run away when they are chased. This instinct to escape is the nature of cats, so they always choose to flee the scene quickly when faced with chasing.
2.The psychological shadow left by the unpleasant experience
Cats have very strong memories, especially those unpleasant experiences. For example, being taken to an animal hospital, forcibly having their nails cut or their hair washed can be frightening and uneasy for cats. When they are chased again, these unpleasant memories are awakened, causing them to flee to avoid being hurt again.
3.Mistaken for a game
In the world of cats, chasing games are a common form of entertainment. They simulate hunting behavior by chasing and fleeing, exercising their bodies and reflexes. Sometimes, cats even take the initiative to invite their owners to participate in this kind of game. However, since our human speed and reflexes are far from those of cats, it is easy for cats to mistakenly think that we are chasing them and choose to run away.
2. How to cleverly catch the cat that "chases the cat and runs".
1.Stay calm and avoid overstimulation
When we want to catch a cat, we first have to keep ourselves calm. Excessive chasing and stimulation will only make cats more nervous and frightened, making them more difficult to catch. On the contrary, we should try to maintain a calm attitude and approach the cat slowly to give it enough security.
2.Use the cat's preferences to induce
Cats have their own favorite toys and food. We can use these preferences to induce cats to approach us. For example, use a treats or toys that your cat likes to attract its attention, and then gradually approach and grab it. This not only reduces the cat's tension, but also increases our interaction and intimacy with the cat.
3.Use professional capture tools
For some cats that are particularly difficult to catch, we can consider using professional capture tools such as laundry nets and bath towels. When using these tools, we need to make sure that we are safe and that we are careful not to harm the cat. In general, it is smoother and safer for two people to operate together. One person is responsible for attracting the cat's attention, while the other takes the opportunity to catch the cat with a laundry net or bath towel. After catching the cat, we should try to maintain a gentle and soothing attitude, so that the cat can feel our love and security.
Summary
Chasing a cat and running" is a problem that many cat slaves will encounter. Understanding why cats are escaping and having the right way to catch them is essential to solve this problem. By staying calm, using the cat's preferences for inducement, and using professional capture tools, we can more easily catch our cats. In the interaction with cats, we need to pay attention to their emotions and needs at all times, and give them enough love and security. Only in this way can we build a deeper and more intimate relationship with our cat.
