Is a domestic cat happier or a wild cat happier? Why?

In modern society, with the increase in family income and changes in people's lifestyles and concepts, more and more families and individuals are starting to keep pets. Cats are pets that are loved by everyone and are one of the animals with the highest proportion of pets.

Many cat owners around me have more than one cat, and I myself have six. Raising, petting, and sucking cats is certainly a very happy thing, but as the number of cats increases, have you ever thought about the happiness index of cats? Before answering this question, let’s first talk about the personality of cats

Compared with dogs, cats are much more independent. They will not arouse their owners’ attention by barking loudly or making large movements. Notice. However, through careful observation, you can still notice subtle changes in the cat's mood.

They are animals with a strong sense of territory, which is determined by their original genes as cats. Big cats, tigers, cheetahs, etc. are all animals with strong territorial awareness and have a wide range of activities and hunting territories in the wild.

After knowing this, we can improve the cat’s life happiness index from the following aspects. Handle the relationship between people and cats

We all know that the emotions between people will affect each other, and we have experienced many things in our lives to prove it. According to the experience summarized by animal behavior expert Jackson Galaxy over many years of observation, human emotions are also transmitted to other animals in the home. Therefore, as the signal source at the top of the emotional transmitting tower, we must first control and regulate our emotions, so that the emotions transmitted will be stable, calm and pleasant.

When there are more cats in the house, you have to try to take care of each cat’s emotions. Don't put too much emotion into a certain cat. The correct approach is to spread the rain and dew equally. Although it is a bit difficult, because some cats are really clingy and easily get more attention from their owners. But this must be done, otherwise cats with unhappy personalities will feel more neglected, while cats with high-profile personalities will be more confident.

Let every cat feel your full love is one of the important ways to improve their happiness index.

Specifically: Each cat should have a unique name of its own. They can distinguish the specialness of your voice and know that they are irreplaceable individuals in your mind. By observing and memorizing each cat's personality, you can find ways to interact with them that make them most relaxed. Whether they play with toys or enjoy having you pet them, or just being around them and looking at them. You must be full of positive energy every day, and your relationship with your family must be harmonious. Don’t forget what I said above, emotions are passed on! Handle the relationship between cats

After handling the relationship between humans and cats, we must also handle the internal relationship between them. This one will be a little more difficult, but there are ways to do it. Cats will have their own micro-expressions or behavioral signs before conflict occurs. For example: hissing, which is a warning signal when it feels threatened. The bridge of the nose is slightly wrinkled and the body is frozen. This is the self-protection mechanism activated, ready to escape or attack at any time. If two cats meet with their ears flat back against their bodies, this is a sign of conflict. The pupils suddenly dilate, which may be due to curiosity or fright. The tip of the tail is downward and the base of the tail is arched, indicating a state of self-defense. There are two situations when the tail is raised: first, it swings slightly, with no hair, which is friendly; second, with hair, which swings from side to side, it is angry. There is also a more obvious arched back and sideways movements, which are also sending unfriendly messages.

When the above signs are discovered, the shit shoveling officer should intervene promptly and actively. You can reach out your hand, separate the two cats, stroke them gently, and whisper education softly. If you do this enough times, they will understand that this behavior is not welcome. Therefore, the poop scraper must play a positive role in guiding cats. When they follow your instructions, reward them with small snacks. Let them form the association: Friendly relationship = delicious snack. Handle environmental factors

The above two major aspects can be said to affect the cat's behavior from both psychological and external intervention, and the transformation of the external environment is equally important. This is mainly based on the cat’s territorial awareness and need for external space. We often see cats who like to squat by the window and keep looking outside, sometimes for a long time. This is how they defend their territory.

Specifically, you can refer to the following suggestions: Arrange reasonable activity routes for cats indoors, such as placing tables and chairs next to the wall or installing partitions on the wall for cats to jump and climb. Some cats like heights, while others prefer the ground. In short, giving them enough choices means that the territory is expanded, and the probability of misfire due to territorial disputes is reduced. Also note that these moving lines must be able to lead to the cat litter box, food basin and water basin. Observe whether there are other wild cats around the outside of the house. If there are, the sounds, smells, and figures of the outdoor cats will make the indoor cats anxious. The scavenger can use food to guide outdoor wild cats to other places where there are few people.
