Misbehavior of Scottish Folds. Family members

Содержание

This question is a difficult one to talk about as it's related primarily to the psychological aspects of animal behavior, as well as our perception of them.

There are a lot of opinions on the ways to interact with animals, but zoopsychology is developing more actively now. This very science helps to find a solution to many problems which owners of purebred cats face. And the bulk of questions only confirms the view that man and cat look at the world from completely different angles, whether it is the perception of themselves, the environment or even the color palette of the world. How are we supposed to understand each other?

Some aspects of zoopsychology

I have heard many times that cats react very jealously to the appearance of new people in their environment. Let's analyze some real situations.

The first one, you have just brought home a kitten and everything is brand new to it: new environment, new smells, sounds, new people, and in addition, a new dog or a parrot. How is one supposed to stay calm, not confuse a litter box as the previous house was absolutely different? So at first the kitten will look after you, it needs to understand if you are trustworthy. The most confident and brave ones will immediately begin to examine the entire room (bypass the property). A Scottish Fold taken from a breeder knows people but if the animal is used to a very loud command voice, or a very low or high voice timbre, then it will take time for the cat to get used to and adapt to new realities.

If you have noisy guests, and everything was quiet and calm before, then what kind of reaction you can expect from your favorite fluffy kitten? That's right, the animal will run away and hide in a quieter place. And you don't have to smoke it out and lure it out, it will only scare the animal even more. It goes without saying that extremely emotional children can make the situation even worse. In this case it is necessary to respect the pet and let it make its own choice, rather than turn a living creature into a toy.

Appearance of a new family member

Let's try to see the situation from the perspective of a cat that truly believes itself to be the master of the house and treating others as service staff mainly (in most cases it's like this) if you decide to buy a Scottish Fold kitten in Rostov or any other purebred cat.

So, you lived together with a cat and then your marital status changes dramatically. How should you introduce your soul mate to someone who has lived side by side with you for 5 years and has been the most beloved creature in this house to this day? It does seem challenging.

First, you should get acquainted correctly, it's better to avoid petting or feeling the nose. Second, let the animal smell your hand, and you should bring some delicious food it likes with you. Play with the cat. You need to create your own ritual, but the host should always be present and involved in all these activities, at least initially, to make the animal feel comfortable. In no case should the host forget about the pet, otherwise the animal can react in its own way, for example, it will act as the master of the house. Then it won't be easy to correct the behavior.

Another situation is the appearance of a child in the family. If before your child was a Scottish Fold, which you cherished, now all your attention is focused on a small creature, and you don't have enough time for your cat. In addition, the pet, seeing your disposition to a newcomer, also tries to understand what this creature is like that made everybody be sleep-deprived and wakes everyone up in the middle of the night.

A Scottish Fold can also take part in the upbringing of a child by sleeping in a crib, lulling with his purring, distracting the baby, rubbing and caressing, which has a beneficial effect on the child's development. To do this, the kitten must be properly brought up, and the price for a Scottish Fold kitten will be appropriate. But there are some drawbacks. Parents may be worried about germs, allergies, the possibility of a cat scratching a child, etc. With regard to Scottish Fold cats, we can say that they will definitely not stay away, they are so curious and sociable.

The Scottish Folds also get along very well with children, participating in all games and pranks. The main thing is that a properly brought up cat and a child, both with a stable psyche, will bring you a lot of positive moments.
