The reasons for fighting between cats are nothing more than the following five types:
Territorial reasons
Male cat attack behavior
Defensive attack
Redirected attack
Apparently attacking
How to prevent cats and prevent cats from fighting, from two perspectives.
01 Wrong practice
In a more complex social environment like cathouses, the situation of two cats fighting often occurs.
Especially between two species. Because none of them are sterilized, if you are a little negligent in management, there may be a fight.
Compared with pet families, if two male cats are also raised, they are sterilized, and there are fewer cases of fighting between the two male cats.
Of course, there are many reasons for fighting between two cats, just like the five major reasons I wrote about in my article yesterday, and the fifth reason can be ignored.
If you are at the fight scene, you will definitely not tolerate the two cats continuing to fight, because the impact is very unfavorable for their health or the entire family environment.
So, we must stop the fight as soon as possible.
So how should we stop it?
Many parents who do not know the correct way may directly use their own bodies to intervene.
For example, directly extend your hand and arms to stop them from fighting,
For example, directly extend your feet and legs to stop them from fighting, some parents will even directly take away a cat that is fighting. The above
is wrong. The result of this is very high that you are injured and the battle will not be completely stopped.
If two cats are fighting and your limbs are involved, most of them will not care about how familiar they are with you in normal times. They will regard the part of your body as a living target.
And when fighting, the cat is highly focused. Even if he doesn't want to hurt you, if you rashly stretch out your hand, he may have already responded to attack before he can see you clearly.
So for our own life safety...
Let's share the correct method
The correct method
The following I will introduce x methods. The effect of the method will be based on cats, so you need to master more to ensure that you can successfully stop the battle at critical moments.
Method 1. Make noise
This is a large category of methods, and there are many ways to make noise:
You can yell them with your loud and sharp voice;
You can open the vacuum cleaner and scare them;
You can also applaud violently, close the door hard, and open the blank TV station to play a huge rustling sound;
You can fill a can with coins, then seal the mouth with tape, and shake it violently when needed;
You can buy a trumpet on the court to cheer for the team, and then blow it vigorously;
You can even take two pans and beat them violently (if the battle occurs in the kitchen);
In short, you can try any method that can make violent, short, loud noises, of course, don't scare yourself too.
Method 2. Throwing something to interrupt
This is also a major category of methods. A brief understanding:
is to interrupt the combat state by distracting attention.
For example, throw a pillow in the middle of them casually;
For example, take a board, no matter what material it is, and hold it apart;
For example, throw a blanket and cover them, usually darken, and they will temporarily lose their direction, so they run away under the blanket, and there is no blanket to replace it with clothes, bath towels, etc. There are many options for this kind of method, but the overall principle is not to hurt the cat because of the thrown out.
Method 3. Use water
Use water, which is very unpromoted when training cats to correct bad behavior, but is a very good choice in situations that prevent combat.
You can use a hand-held sprayer filled with pure water. If a battle occurs, you should be separated from the measuring ruler and spray it. Remember to not get too close;
If a battle occurs in the garden, you can use a watering pipe to spray it, be careful not to spray it completely on the cat, and it is best to spray it at half a meter of the ground in the combat area;
In addition, the water-squeezing gun is also a very useful tool, just buy a few dollars to spare.
Remember, don't use this method when the ambient temperature is very low.
The above methods can be combined together. In general, the best combination principle is that the method is both gentle and effective.
03 Methods to prevent attacks
For most ordinary fighting behaviors, how should we prevent them?
There are many methods, and we must respond according to actual conditions.
Generally speaking, I summarize the following strategies:
1. Male and female cats that are not used for breeding are spayed.
2. Spread water, grain, toilet, cat bed, toys and other resources to spread out different corners of the house.
3. Increase the utilization of vertical space.
4. When two cats are friendly, give rewards in time.
5. There are signs of fighting, such as starting a confrontation and hissing, separate the two before they make a hiss.
6. Let the cat stay indoors forever.
7. Different cats should try to give the same attention every day.
8. Use of pheromones to minimize territorial problems.
04 The above methods for handling and preventing redirected attacks are effective methods for preventing and preventing most fights.
But if you conclude that the fighting between two cats is a redirected attack, then the corresponding specific handling and preventive measures will be different in details, especially the cat management after the battle.
