Among domestic animals, cats are the most hygienic. Cats can be seen washing their faces with their paws every day. In addition, every time you defecate in a fixed place, you have to cover the excrement with your claws after you defecate. The habit of cats like cleaning is a big reason why people are willing to keep cats. But are cats as hygienic and clean as people think?
Actually, the grooming and dressing of cats are completely out of for physiological needs. For example, cats lick their fur with their tongues to stimulate the secretion of sebaceous glands, make the hair shiny and smooth, not easily wetted by water, and can lick a small amount of vitamin D to promote the normal development of bones. It can also make the coat fluffy and promote heat dissipation. function. This is not difficult to understand as long as you pay attention to when cats are groomed. Cats usually start grooming and grooming after eating and playing, or chasing prey, exercising vigorously, and waking up in the sun. In the hot season or after strenuous exercise, the body produces a lot of heat, and in order to maintain a constant body temperature, the excess heat must be excreted from the body. We humans can use washing or sweating to solve the problem, but cats have underdeveloped sweat glands and cannot evaporate a lot of water. Therefore, cats use their tongues to smear saliva on their coats. The evaporation of water in saliva can take away heat. To the effect of cooling and relieving heat. Regular grooming during depilation promotes new hair growth. In addition, by scratching and biting, the coat can be prevented from contracting parasitic diseases, such as fleas, pediculosis, etc., and maintain good health. The behavior of cats to cover up feces is purely instinctive and inherited from ancestors.
The ancestor of the Persian cat, the wild cat, covered up its feces in order to prevent predators from finding it and tracking it from its fecal smell. This behavior of modern cats has no meaning in this regard, but it has earned cats a good reputation for being hygienic. Cats still maintain the nocturnal habit of carnivores, and many activities (such as mouse-catching, courtship and mating) are often carried out at night. Cats are most active at dawn or early evening, and spend most of the day lounging or sleeping. According to this habit of cats, the daily feeding time should be placed in the morning and evening, because at this time the various functions of the cat's body are very active, not only eat more, but also digest well. Breeding cats should also be arranged at night to ensure a higher success rate. This habit of cats is not welcomed by cat owners in most cases. Especially in urban households, the meowing of female cats and the sound of male cats fighting for mates at night are very annoying. The frequent activities of cats indoors at night sometimes wake people up. While this is the nature of cats and cannot be completely overcome, with training it is possible to correct them to a great extent.
The cat's licking behavior has several purposes. Cleaning the mouth after eating is the most common action, but when the cat is in a bad mood and anyone hugs or touches his body, he will lick the touched fur with his tongue until it is soaked, and then he will calm down. They don't like the odor that people give them, and the puppies will use their rough tongues to lick the fur off their abdomens so that the nipples are exposed so that the kittens can easily suck. When there is ringworm or parasites on the skin, cats also lick their hair to relieve itching. The cat opens its big mouth, meows twice later, stretches its body forward, curls its tail forward, fluffy upward, and rubs its body slightly sideways to the owner. The body also sometimes makes a small meow, which is a sign of a cat. Just wanting the owner to be happy, stroking, and paying attention to his actions, the owner can take this opportunity to establish a friendly and trusting relationship (RAPPORT), and this action can also indicate that the cat is in good health, eating and sleeping normally. The cat's ears are turned back, and only the back can be seen from the front, indicating fear and self-defense. If the sense of fear increases, the ears will droop down, the head will be retracted, the back will be arched, the body fur will be raised, and the dog's eyes will be raised sideways. Staring at the enemy, the appearance of opening his teeth and dancing claws often occurs at night when two males and females meet each other, and when they are chasing the same opposite sex, their screams can wake up people from their sweet sleep.
Cat's ejaculation, tomcats generally have this behavior when they reach maturity. They will stand upright against the target tail and tremble a few times.
