Being the plush guardian in the house, the leisurely cat often stares out the window, many new "tee shovelers" may not understand the meaning.
However, as the years of raising cats grow, people gradually realize that there are actually various unexpected reasons why these cats are obsessed with the window, and these reasons are often far from the initial guess of our human beings.
Let us explore the seemingly mysterious gaze outside the window:
1. The reason why cats love to look outside the window:
1. Driven by curiosity
The eccentric cats are full of curiosity about the world outside the window.
The corners of the home have been circulated by them, and every inch of the territory has left their footprints.
Therefore, they look for new horizons, and the windows become the best place for them to observe the ever-changing world.
The wind and clouds outside the window are surging and changing day and night, bringing endless satisfaction to the cat. 2. The temptation of birds
Cats with sharp eyesight have almost instinctive attention to objects in motion.
They stare out the window, probably because they are observing the flying birds intently, and even regard these birds as potential prey in their hearts, which is why they make slight "click" sounds.
3. In the cat's concept of territory, wherever they see, they are their sovereignty.
Therefore, the day after day gazing outside the window is actually a patrol of one's own territory to see if there are outsiders invading the peace of their rule.
4. Enjoy the warmth of the sun
Due to room restrictions, cats rarely have the opportunity to enjoy the baptism of the sun. When the warm sunlight spreads over the windowsill, they will choose to bask in the sun lazyly here and pay attention to what happens outside the window.
5. The expectation of the owner returning
When the owner leaves home, the cat also likes to search through the windows. This behavior of them is actually the expectation for the return of the master.
At the window, they can first capture the figure of their owner coming home, so they often look out the window intently.
2. Cats’ complex outside the window: Do you desire freedom outdoors?
The answer is: not necessarily!
Modern cats live in the room, and they are often afraid of unknown people and environments.
Even if the owner wants to take them out, they may not be happy and may easily have stress reactions.
In contrast, indoor environments can provide them with a safe shelter.
3. Precautions for raising cats in indoor captivity:
1. Satisfies curiosity
Provides novel toys, cat sticks and other interactive tools, which can effectively satisfy cats' desire to explore.
Remember, don't limit your cats to cages for a long time, they should have the right to freely explore the indoor environment.
2. Pay attention to emotional health
Ensure that you have enough interaction with your cat every day, about 20 to 30 minutes, which helps your cat build a sense of security and maintain a happy mindset. If you feel that your cats are in a different mood, you might as well use snacks to comfort them.
3. Conventional deworming
Even if a cat does not go out, the importance of deworming cannot be ignored. It is recommended to perform external deworming every two months and internal deworming every three to four months. 4. Control weight
Due to limited indoor exercise and rich diet, cats are prone to gain weight, which can cause health problems. Therefore, in addition to increasing exercise, choosing cat food with moderate oil content is also of great benefit to controlling weight.
