It has become a common phenomenon for modern people to keep pets. Some people even have cats and dogs, which is very enviable. The author once heard someone joking about his friends in a pet store: "Some people may seem to be prosperous, but in fact they don't even have a cat." These words made people stunned for a while.
It can also be seen from this sentence that pets seem to have become a standard household feature like televisions in the eyes of modern people, and modern people's concept of keeping pets has gradually matured. For example, cats are no longer needed to catch mice, but are kept as companions. The owners even buy the cats a lot of nice clothes. The pet products industry is booming, but do cats really need to wear clothes?
Recently, a pet owner in the north caused a hilarious incident by dressing his cat in clothes.
This owner raised a Siamese cat. This cat is originally from Thailand. As the weather got colder, the owner found that the Siamese cat seemed to be afraid of the cold and always stayed close to the electric heater for warmth. However, this Siamese cat had no concept of a safe distance. It was too close to the electric heater. On several occasions, if the owner had not discovered it in time, it would have burned its fur.
The owner thought about it and realized that it was right. Thailand is a warm Southeast Asia. A Southeast Asian cat coming to northern China must be afraid of the cold, so the owner bought Siam a special cat nest with an electric blanket and a pet down jacket.
This makes Siam very happy. He likes the cat’s nest very much, so much that the owner can’t even touch its nest. Anyone who touches it will get angry.
The owner is a little worried about this. Siamese hides in the cat’s bed with an electric blanket all day long. What if he gets angry while sleeping or gets sick?
The owner thought that Siamese must be afraid of the cold if he liked to sleep in the cat’s nest, so didn’t he buy him a down jacket? It will definitely not be afraid of the cold if you wear it, and it will not sleep in the nest all day long.
So I quickly brought a down jacket and put it on Siam. At first, Siam was very awkward when he first put on the clothes. He couldn't even walk. After getting used to it for a while, he could walk slowly and no longer go to sleep in his nest.
That afternoon, the owner was busy in the kitchen and saw Siam standing motionless in his clothes. He had maintained this posture for almost an hour.
The owner hurried over to check. This sight made the owner extremely happy. At some point, Siam quietly played a trick with the owner: "Escape the Golden Cicada". The down jacket stood in place and kept walking, but the cat in the down jacket was gone.
At this time, Siam was lying quietly in the cat's nest, looking at his owner with hatred. The master looked at this scene and really didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Siam: "Damn humans, put me in such heavy clothes, it seriously affects my flexibility"!
In fact, the author believes that there is no need to put clothes on cats, because cats’ perception and motor nerves are particularly developed, which means that clothes will become their “shackles” when worn on them. Cats wearing clothes feel like they are wearing armor for humans. If the weather is not very cold, there is no need to dress your cat at all.
If the weather is too cold and you need to dress your cat, it is recommended that owners choose clothing that is close-fitting and thinner, so that the cat will be more comfortable. The author does not recommend the down jacket that the owner bought for his cat in this article because it is too heavy.
But if owners dress their cats in order to look good, it is even more unnecessary. Pets are our family members. When doing certain things for pets, the author hopes that all owners can stand from the perspective of pets and think about them a little bit. What do you think?
