What should I pay attention to when traveling with cats?

When you are tired of the boring life at two o'clock every day, used to seeing the red, green and green city lights, and want to release the air in your chest, you might as well open the door, choose a sunny day, hug your cat and have a wanton trip. Don't worry about whether your cat cares, because many cats are not satisfied with lounging on the windowsill when their families go hiking. Make some preparations, and you can also bring your cat.

Laura Moss, a foreign traveler, said: "When you see cats climbing mountains, hiking and camping, you may think that dogs should do it, but in fact, cats can do it, but people will look at you differently." ?

Moss herself adopted two stray cats and a dog, and she decided to combine her love for cats and nature. However, when she searched online for how to train cats to walk outdoors on leashes and how to turn them into good hiking companions, she didn't find much information. So she decided to set up a website about traveling with cats, where people can share their experiences with pets.

Moss's cat

Moss hopes that the website can provide information for pet owners and let them know how to safely let cats get in touch with nature. The content covers everything from basic training to wearing a dog chain to determining whether your cat's personality is suitable for this outdoor adventure. In addition, Moss also hopes that the website can help break people's negative impression of cats and cat owners, and even promote more adoptions. ?

In the content posted by netizens, cats can be seen lazily lying in hammocks in the camp, drinking water in the mountain stream, some on their owners' backpacks, and some rowing canoes and kayaks with their owners. Moss said: "Although cats give the impression that they are lazy and cold, there are actually many cats who are willing to take risks, climb mountains and even swim with you. This is also the cat we want to highlight. "

Before Moss took the cats out, she taught them some simple instructions. Most importantly, she trained them to respond to names. She said, "Many people know how to train dogs, but they have no idea about training cats. Actually, there is not much difference. I was very careful when I first took them out. I want to train them to respond to my name in case their belts fall off or they get scared and run away. " ?

When she was ready to take Sirius out, the cat was both excited and cautious. It clings to the ground, its eyes are wide open and it is very interested in grass. When the cat came back to the house, it grabbed the door and wanted to go out. Moss did the same thing to her other cat, Favre.

If your cat has no natural curiosity, it may not be suitable for adventure. Moss said: "It's normal for a cat to be timid and afraid when it goes out for the first time, but if it's scared to death, don't push it." She admits that some cats may be satisfied by staying on the windowsill and looking at the outside world.

Moss said that even if you train your cat to be an outdoor enthusiast, you never know what kind of experience you will have. "Not all cats can walk a long way like dogs. Some cats may feel that they can wander around for a while."

In addition, in Japan, there is also a Mr. Mori Jian who wanders to film the world of cats. Mr. Sen Jian has not only been taking pictures of cats, but also is very active as a wedding photographer and illusionist. Before digital cameras became mainstream, he took pictures of cats while wandering around the world. Whenever a cat appears in his mind, he will leave. He has a strong belief that he will keep looking for it the day before he sees it. The photos he took were evaluated by the public as very unique. ?

What Mr. Mori showed us was a photo taken on an island in Fukuoka. There are many cat lovers on the island where many cats live. ? For example, the most famous island for cat lovers is Fukuoka. The only canteen on the island is often full of people. On the other hand, the cat feels that she knows nothing about it, and she is still rolling around lazily, and the scene of adding a smile to her mouth has indeed expanded. There were many guests on the island who came to enjoy fishing, and then some figures approached from behind.

Therefore, if you take a cat to travel, you should also pay attention to the method of taking pictures of the cat. ?

Don't force it?

Don't always think about taking pictures. Sometimes you may meet the moment when a cat slaps the ball with its claws, but this moment is more likely to happen when you don't expect it-even you will never wait. So you have to accept everything they show you.

Check the lights

Lighting is extremely important to cats. Their eyes are suffocating, and their eyes can tell you their emotions. Generally speaking, when cats are excited, their pupils will become larger, while when they are relaxed or sleepy, their pupils will become narrower. Cats' pupils look far away and cold when they are narrowed, and they look a little crazy when they are dilated. Therefore, it is most appropriate to maintain a moderate pupil width. Light will affect the cat's pupil, so it is a method and a challenge to capture the most suitable moment with light, but such a challenge will pay off. ?

Same height

Don't be afraid to lie on the ground. You can even roll on the ground and make yourself laughed at, so that they will have a great chance to see you. Besides, you should not make too much noise. Try to keep your body below your eyes and do something that makes your eyes feel worthy of seeing-so that you can capture some wonderful pictures. ?
