Having a cat in the house, if there is a treasure, but at the same time, it may also mean that everything in the house has to be strictly scrutinized by the "cat owner". In particular, those items with zippers always seem to attract the curiosity of cats, thus triggering a series of "zipper shenanigans". Today, we're going to talk about how to deal with these headaches.
1. The cat opens the zipper of the bag without authorization
Have you ever had such an experience: when you come home and find that your beloved bag has been "occupied" by a cat, it is a mess inside, and even the cat is still hiding in it and does not come out? Cats seem to be particularly fond of getting into small spaces, especially bags that smell of food or have key rings on them, which have become their "secret base".
However, such behavior may not only make the bag "covered in cat hair", but also cause damage to the contents of the bag, and may even cause harm to the cat itself. What's worse is that some cats will sit on the bag and use their little paws to play with the zipper, trying to do it.
2. Trying to escape from the cat's carry-on belongings
The modern pet products market is full of dazzling, among which cat carriers (commonly known as "cat bags") are a must-have choice for many families. However, some clever cats are able to play with this "safety device" in the palm of their hands. They will use their little paws to skillfully manipulate the zipper in an attempt to escape from the cat bag.
This behavior can not only cause cats to get lost in outdoor environments, but they can also be injured due to improper handling of zippers. According to the actual investigation, there are even cats who escaped from the cat bag because they successfully opened the zipper, causing a lot of safety hazards.
3. Open the zipper of the cushion cover and take out the cotton wool inside
The upholstery cover at home is also an object that cats like to "explore". They may use their paws to play with the zipper, or even successfully open the zipper to remove the cotton wool inside to play. This behavior can not only lead to cotton wool being everywhere, but it can also cause health problems due to cats eating cotton wool by mistake.
In particular, curious kittens and young kittens of 1 or 2 years old need to be more vigilant against this type of behavior because they have a stronger curiosity and desire to explore.
Fourth, how to deal with the cat's "zipper prank".
In the face of these "zipper pranks" of cats, how should we respond?
1.useZipperClips or key locks: With the help of zipper clips and key locks, we can ensure that the zipper is always tightly closed, thus preventing cats from opening the zipper. This method is simple and effective, and is preferred by many cat slaves.
2.Don't leave bags and other items randomly: To prevent cats from becoming interested in bags and other items, we should place them out of the reach of cats, such as high cabinets or closed storage compartments.
3.Choose styles that cover the zipper handles: When buying a bag or padded cover, we can choose those that cover the zipper handles. In this way, even if the cats want to play with the zipper, they will give up because they can't find the handle.
4.Use double protection: For particularly naughty cats, we can also consider using the method of double protection. For example, before putting a cat in a cat bag, you can secure it with a laundry net before putting it in the cat bag. In this way, even if the cat wants to escape, it will not be able to open the zipper due to the restrictions of the laundry net.
Summary
Living with cats means that we need to constantly struggle with their curiosity and desire to explore. While the cats' "zipper pranks" can be a headache, with the right approach and strategy, we can definitely defuse these potential safety hazards.
Let's work together to create a safe and comfortable living environment for cats! At the same time, it also allows us to better understand and feel the quality time spent with cats in the process of coping with these challenges.
