One morning, Xiaohui and her parents went to work and trimmed the nails of their cat Cola. Dad is responsible for catching Coke, mother is responsible for fixing Coke's body, and Xiaohui is responsible for cutting nails. I thought that everything would be fine after cutting my nails, but unexpectedly, cutting my nails was just the "beginning", and the bigger "turmoil" was still to come...
Since I finished cutting Coke's nails in the morning, Coke seemed to have changed into a cat. Not only did he ignore Xiaohui's family, but he also refused to eat or drink water, just like a child on a "hunger strike". However, this was only the first step. After dinner, Coke started scratching the sofa crazily. After seeing Xiaohui walking toward it angrily, Coke ran away again. This happened several times. Finally, Xiaohui couldn't stand it anymore and started a fire on Coke.
In fact, behavior like Coke's is a very typical "revenge-holding" behavior. When a cat with a full personality gets angry, most people can't resist it! Today, based on the incident between Xiaohui and Coke, the editor will tell you about the things that cats hold grudges~
1. The manifestations of grudges in cats
1. Indifference and aloofness: If they ignore or even look at their owners when their owners call them names, it is very likely that they are resisting their owners because of something. At this time. They generally ignore their owners' calls and refuse any touch or hug from their owners.
2. Abnormal agitation: If your cat is usually very well-behaved and obedient, but after being "criticized and educated" by you for something, it becomes extremely agitated and exhibits a series of behaviors such as scratching and biting. You should pay attention to changing your attitude in time and no longer treat them with the attitude of an "educator". At this time, you can try to use food to relieve the tense relationship with the cat.
3. Attack state: If cats show an attack state of "baring their teeth" when you approach them, accompanied by a low growl, this means that the cat completely regards you as an "enemy". At this time, you should first reduce the cat's alertness, make your movements and sounds gentle, and slowly show your kindness to them to re-establish its goodwill towards you.
2. Prevent "revenge-holding" before it happens
Cats holding grudges are largely due to their owners' wrong punishment methods, which makes them have a "rebellious" mentality. In their daily lives, owners should pay attention to the "combination of rewards and punishments" so that they will no longer be resistant to punishment. When they make mistakes, owners should not blame the cats blindly. They can use the "restoration event" method to let them understand the consequences of doing so. At the same time, after "criticism and education", you must also carefully observe the cat's little emotions. Once you find signs of "grudge-holding", you can use food or toys to close the relationship with the cat in time.
So, poop scavengers, you should be a careful and patient owner. Only in this way can the cat be less "grudge-holding" and more "gentle"~
