The journey of life is like a feast of taste buds, sweet, sour, bitter, spicy, and salty, all kinds of tastes need to be tasted; and the cat's world seems to be silently experiencing the taste of these life.
When it comes to the taste of "bitter", people often feel taboo, but have you ever noticed the unique reaction of cats when facing this bitterness? Do they have the same resistance to suffering as we do?
In fact, in the face of the hardships and challenges of life, whether it is emotional bitterness or physical discomfort, kittens always have a unique survival philosophy and coping strategies. This wisdom is not only a deep understanding of life, but also their innate way of survival. Then, let us enter the cat world together and explore their unique philosophy and wisdom when facing "suffering"!
01
cat Born to be unable to endure hardship!
Bitty taste is the most sensitive taste for cats. In fact, cats’ taste buds do not feel sweet, but they can taste sour, salty and bitter. Among these flavors, bitterness is the most repulsive thing for cats!
Therefore, many items that prevent cats from scratching and biting have added bitter or sour taste in food to prevent cats from destroying them.
02
cat Not enduring hardship is the protection mechanism!
Cats are born with bitter and sour foods represent toxic or rotten, and cats' keenness to bitterness is a protective mechanism to prevent cats from being poisoned in the wild.
03
For delicious Cats smell it!
The delicious food is tasted by our mouth, but cats can smell it by their nose. I wonder if you have noticed that cats only smell and don’t eat certain foods, because they are not interested in smelling them, so they stop eating them!
04
cats Hate to take medicine
We often say "bitter-mouthed medicine", but cats don't take this set!
Cats are too sensitive to bitter taste. Some cats may foam at the mouth when they take bitter medicine.
So, feeding medicine has become a headache for many shovelers.
Don't panic first, calm down! Below we introduce some tips for feeding cats to take medicine, hoping that it can help everyone!
1
How to "cheat" meat paste
We can feed the cat some meat paste to reduce their defense, then put the capsules into the meat paste, and let the cat swallow the meat paste and the capsules together.
Make good use of medicine feeding devices
The medicine feeding device is a good tool that can improve success rate and avoid putting your hands into the cat's mouth.
2
Then how do you use the medicine feeder?
First, we should tilt the cat's head backward, then send the medicine feeder to the base of the tongue, push the capsule out, and then immediately close the cat's mouth to keep the mouth closed to prevent the capsule from being spit out by the cat. At this time, you can gently caress the cat's throat or nose to stimulate the cat's swallowing reaction. If you see a cat licking its nose after taking medicine, it means the capsule has been swallowed successfully!
Note that if it is liquid medicine, it is recommended to inject the medicine into a small pouch between the teeth and cheeks, rather than at the base of the tongue. This is done to prevent the cat from choking with the liquid.
3 capsules are also another magical tool
If you go to the hospital for treatment, the doctor will ask the capsules to choose capsules or powders, because this can prevent the cat from being scared from being directly exposed to the bitter taste of the medicine. But if it is solid medicine or powder, we can also grind the medicine into powder and put it in an empty capsule, and then feed it to the cat.
It seems that cats are the most transparent children! Don’t eat the bitterness of life, don’t eat the bitterness of medicine, as long as it is bitter, don’t eat it!
So our cat shovelers must treat our cats well and must not let our cats "end up"!
