Many friends like cats, but they don’t know much about some cat care knowledge. Many netizens will ask how to raise cats and what cats like to eat. Let me take you to see this question: Are cats clingy?
Cats are "harming their hair" every day, except sleeping, eating, and playing (hunting). In fact, hair care is a very important activity for them, not only physiological cleaning, massage, and promoting blood circulation; it even has the functions of "covering embarrassment, calming up distracted thoughts, and calming down" in terms of behavior and psychology.
Cats are not only for cleaning, but also stimulate the parasympathetic nerves and achieve relaxation and calming effects
According to Morningstar Publishing House, "What do you want to say for cats?" 》 mentioned that in addition to removing body dirt, old hair or skin cells, cat hair care is very helpful for health by promoting blood circulation through tongue massage. This is also a hunting nature. Clearing body odors can prevent other animals from smelling their own body.
Hair treatment can also stimulate the parasympathetic nerves and produce a "relaxation" effect. Therefore, cats usually start to take care of their hair after eating and waking up, which is mostly a time of peace. After finishing their hair, they will relax and may also recall the good memories of being groomed by female cats during their kittens.
In particular, when cats suddenly fall or make mistakes, they may also "cover up embarrassment" by reason of hair, because when they are upset, they want to calm down their inner self. For example, if two cats are halfway through the fight, it is difficult to separate themselves. They may suddenly stop fighting and then start to take care of their hair, in order to suppress their excitement of "not knowing what to do". By raising their hair, they can achieve a calming effect.
Cats may also "cover up embarrassment" by hair care, because when they are upset, they want to calm their hearts.
Hair care is so important for cats and has many functions, so the cat's hair can always be kept clean and smooth, and has almost no body odor. Some people even say, "The cat always smells of sunbathing!" However, doctors suggest that long-haired cats have long hair and are more likely to be knotted and produced hair balls. In order to maintain the texture of the hair, it is best to comb it every day and clean it regularly.
Two cats with good relationships will even help each other, and some cats will lick their owners. On the one hand, it is for cleaning; on the other hand, it is to increase the smell. Because a cat's sense of security comes from its dependence on scent. By touching its own scent, in addition to expressing possessiveness of "making marks", it is also the object that makes it feel familiar and at ease. In other words, cats will never lick an annoying or alert subject.
In addition, there is an ancient legend in Japan that "when a cat washes his face, it will start to rain", which is actually well-founded. Because cats’ beards and hair roots are particularly sensitive to humidity changes, if the cat washes more carefully than usual, it will really rain! Cat slaves may wish to observe and take a look.
Another thing to pay attention to the cat's emotions. If the cat is hungry, remember to give him the food he likes to eat.
