appropriate activities enjoy making them feel bad many people find it amusing to put their cats in compromising situations to get a reaction often scaring or hurting them in the process these range and cruelty but even some which seem like a game can be harmful for example playing with a laser pointer means the cat will never catch the light which can cause serious frustration and confusion [Music] abandon them some people are simply too irresponsible to adopt a cat when they get tired of them they simply abandon them to nature many of these animals die as they

do not know how to survive or end up in a shelter and have difficulties in being rehomed don't educate them education is an essential part of a happy co-existence with cats this way cats don't learn habits which can cause a nuisance such as biting or scratching furniture with proper guidance and positive reinforcement cats can learn the rules of a home and behave appropriately here we share a video in which we give you tips to get along with a cat smoking well with them smoke is very harmful for a cat's lungs they can develop serious health

problems if they inhale it constantly furthermore with their need to groom regularly by licking they can ingest toxic particles from the cigarette which settle onto their coats treat them like a toy in some homes cats are brought in to be a play thing for children as if they were little more than a stuffed toy this is why it is necessary to explain to kids the importance of respect for animals as well as supervising play sessions give inappropriate food sometimes you may feel like pampering your cat with food especially if they give you longing looks however

giving cats inappropriate foods such as chocolate cookies or other types will harm their health especially in the long term if you want to offer your furry friend something more suitable you can buy them different treats wet foods or other ingredients which will not harm their health expose them to loud or annoying noises cats have very sharp hearing so it can be very stressful if they are constantly exposed to loud noises therefore your cat should have an area in the home where they can rest quietly without being exposed to loud noises similarly it is not advisable

make your cat happy [Music] like us and all multicellular organisms cats need to be well nourished to feel good adequate nutrition to meet the needs of the feline is essential to prevent diseases common to the species although it may seem obvious it is important to remember that if you choose a commercial feed it needs to be of good quality to get what's best for your cat there are numerous scientific studies which prove a good diet improves the general condition of the cat the quality of their coats their skin eyes etc and if you prefer to

make a homemade diet keep in mind that cats are obligate carnivals and need to consume a greater amount of protein in the form of meat and fish and don't forget the importance of having plenty of clean fresh water available at all times regular visits to the veterinarian are essential to prevent and detect the presence of disease the earlier the detection the better the prognosis additionally it is important to follow the vaccination and deworming schedules recommended by your specialist you've probably already noticed the amount of hours your cat spends licking itself cleanliness plays a fundamental role

in the life of every feline and without it they will not be happy cats can't stand dirt on their fur or in their environment a disorganized home lack of hygiene neglect of their litter box etc can seriously upset their well-being it is recommended to brush long-haired cats daily and to clean their litter box too there are some cats which are more sociable some which are more solitary the latter might be the kind which hide every time a new visitor comes into the house for this reason you shouldn't force your cat to do something they don't

want to do especially when they are afraid respecting their peace and privacy is essential to ensure their happiness the more you force your cat the less they will want to stay by your side this is because they will start to associate you with negative stimuli they will then begin to associate the things you like as things they don't like cats have a specific body language with which they can communicate with animals and as humans learning to understand this body language is essential in knowing what it is our cat wants to tell us at all times

and how we should act accordingly cats are natural hunters and need to express his natural instinct through play you won't need to invest a lot of money to do this as you can make your cat happy by crafting homemade toys or playing games at home to keep them entertained the important thing is to offer the animal a varied range of toys which stimulate them physically and mentally also you will need scratching posts posts shelves to let them walk at a certain height and anything which can help them replicate their hunting behavior safely most people think

it is enough to put some sand in a box without thinking about how important it is to choose the right type for each animal cats are selective creatures with personal tastes and preferences it's essential to get them the products they feel comfortable using or they will do their business elsewhere unfortunately there is no one box which is better than another since every cat is a world onto their own what is universally accepted is that the box needs to be twice as big as the animal so that they can move freely and not feel uncomfortable as

for selecting the right type of litter felines generally prefer those with finer grains and which have no perfume do you live with more than one feline if so did you know that it is ideal to have more than one box according to experts in feline behavior it is advisable to have one litter box per cat with one extra on top cats are territorial animals as well as being very neat and possessive of their belongings sharing something as important as their toilet can lead them to not using it although we think of training as limited to

dogs cats can also be educated positive reinforcement is the ideal method to guide your cat into certain behaviors you can even train and teach them to do tricks by rewarding the animal with treats or affection each time they behave properly the cat relates the action or attitude to something good this makes it more likely to repeat this behavior again in order to increase the likelihood of a reward punishment and yelling are not the solution they cause the animal to associate us with negative stimuli they can even develop problems they would not otherwise have had many

cats are very independent animals it is true but all they need is love affection and attention from their fellow humans you should spoil your cat when it is appropriate and don't neglect them when they come looking for attention they are very sensitive animals observant and have a good memory any inappropriate behavior on your part will not go unnoticed and it can cool the relationship between the two of you if you have one or more cats you'll likely have experienced this situation your cat is licking you peacefully then suddenly they strike what happened did they not

like the petting you were giving in return what is behind such capricious behavior and animal wise we explained both why it happens and what to do about it [Music] even with experienced guardians it's not always easy to understand what our cats are trying to say therefore it's essential we learn about ethology consult our veterinarian about any doubts and above all be attentive to our cat's body language what do biting and licking mean there's no single way to interpret the licking and biting of cats not even when they occur at the same time this is why

we'll try to explain in detail the purposes behind these behaviors both of which are characteristic of the species but before explaining more about these behaviors don't forget to subscribe to our channel to know everything about the animal kingdom why do cats lick when a cat licks us especially licking our hair they are carrying out grooming behavior as they would to another cat it's a very positive social behavior which strengthens a bond with the owner and shows a desire to make us feel more comfortable cats also lick as a sign of affection on the other hand

excessive and intense licking can mean that something is not going well indicating stress and anxiety and why do they bite as with licking biting can have several meanings they could be plain or angry very scared or angry cats display a very expressive constricted rigid and bristled body language this is usually accompanied by hissing warning meows and curved backs biting in this instance is not the same as biting carried out during play it takes place when they get out of control they may also give warning bites to ask us to stop bothering them biting may also

show affection but only with more controlled and repetitive nibbles so why do cats lick and then bite some cats can bite after licking us as a warning signal to stop petting them others may do it as a continued sign of affection while some yet might do it as part of grooming behavior when cats clean each other they lick and nibble to ensure thorough hygiene meaning it might be completely normal for our cat to bite us a little when grooming us in these instances it is completely normal and typical of the species not a negative behavior

what to do if the cat's bite hurts it may happen that our cat by biting us hurts us what should we do then the first thing we must highlight is that under no circumstances should we scold them since despite an unpleasant situation our cat is carrying out normal social behavior ideally after they bite us we should withhold interaction and attention if we are consistent and always follow the same pattern our cat should eventually associate biting with the end of an activity they enjoy they should learn to stop biting if they want to continue their fun

we should also remember to reinforce positive behaviors with encouraging interactions if you want to know more about cat behavior check out this video on why cats need us if you share your home with a cat you will well know they exhibit some strange behaviors which pique our curiosity for example many cat caregivers wonder why their felines roll over and show their belly to them even though they don't like being petted there does this happen to you let animal wise explain [Music] to understand what it means when a cat rolls over and shows you their belly

we need to better understand the cat's posture and how they affect communication between other cats and people in their environment more than humans cats use their body language to express mood opinion and perception usually when a cat leaves its belly exposed or sleeps on its back it means that it experiences a moment of relaxation and well-being of course a cat only adopts this position in a safe environment and in the company of people with whom they share affection and trust so if your cat lies down belly up beside or close to you this is a

sign they feel very comfortable with your presence they think of their home as conveying the feeling of safety and well-being additionally if your cat sees you or greets you lying down and shows you their belly it's a friendly posture to get your attention and invite you to interact or even ask for something your feline wants to play and share a good time with you but you should not interpret this as an invitation to pet them in this region in fact most cats do not like their bellies touched as it is a very sensitive part of

their body eventually your cat may also roll up into a ball stretch out its back or rub against you these are natural behaviors that express pleasure and relaxation this behavior can also occur if you offer catnip to your cat as it acts as a powerful stimulus to their senses however if you notice that your cat continually rolls over as if to scratch themselves it's important to be alert itching may appear as a symptom of an allergy external parasites or even disease therefore don't hesitate to take them to the vet if you see this behavior being

repeated constantly and or compulsively that cats don't like kisses or being petted on their bellies doesn't mean they do not enjoy receiving pampering from their caregivers it simply means that being touched in such a sensitive region makes them feel vulnerable and generates negative feelings these can include insecurity stress and fear feeling threatened cats often adopt certain defensive behaviors to preserve their well-being such as scratching and biting a cat exposing their belly is not treacherous behavior the cat does not roll over with the intention of deceiving you then attack you when you come close and touch

their belly instead cats transmit several signs of discomfort and even anger before adopting such defensive behaviors we may just need to pay attention to the signals if your cat has their ears pulled back they have a crumpled body their facial expression is closed and or their tail is moving and bristled like a brush this is communicating anger and possible attack in general cats love to be petted on their head chin nape of neck and back however each cat is a world onto its own and it's impossible to establish a manual on how to please caress

or pamper every single cat to best know where and how to pet your cat you'll have to know their tastes and identify their preferences this is precisely the best part of living with cats spending time with them day by day and discovering their personality they will surprise us with their skills and learn to improve our bond with them completely are you determined to adopt a cat do you already live with one but think you're making some mistakes cats are very affectionate and funny animals which can bring much happiness if you know how to take care

of them properly although cats are relatively easy to care for it is important to know what the typical mistakes are when caring for a cat to avoid unwanted behavior therefore in today's animal-wised video we will explain the top 7 mistakes cat owners make [Music] unlike dogs cats in the wild are solitary hunters and although they've conformed social groups with definite hierarchy they are generally more independent than dogs therefore and although there are cats that are much more submissive and affectionate than some dogs if you are looking for an extremely faithful animal companion that shows unconditional

love and obedience the cat is not the right choice in this case it is better to adopt a dog to avoid disappointments and frustration it is only when cats actually seek human companionship and affection that they want attention cats are harder to train than dogs creating a bond with your pet is fundamental and this is why it's important for the cat to see their human as something positive and associate their presence with good stimuli well with dogs you should use clear current and simple orders to educate a cat it's necessary to gain their trust first

playing regularly with the cat and correcting them when they have done something wrong with clear orders and without using violence or force is essential one of the most common mistakes is to adopt a kitten shortly after birth the ideal is to do it once weaning ends which should occur naturally and never before they reach one month of life even if they receive all the necessary care and proper nutrition it is always better for the animals health to be with their mother throughout the lactation period with the mother and the cat's siblings socialization begins and the

cat begins to learn all the typical behaviors of their species another common mistake when caring for a cat is not to provide them with better tension by thinking that as they don't leave the home they can't catch any diseases or have parasites the risks of a cat that lives in a house are not the same than for a cat that has access to the outside and this is why there are protocols of specific vaccines for each one of the situations consult with a vet and define a vaccine schedule that is adapted to your pet's characteristics

and lifestyle regarding deworming it is recommended to de-worm internally every three months and apply a monthly anti-flea product mainly in the summer months breeding season for cats can bring some behaviors that may seem uncomfortable for humans in addition to some dangers to a kitten's health it is in spring and summer that cats are in heat for about a week in this period many males try to escape when they perceive that there is a female cat in heat nearby and can even be aggressive with other males castration decreases their behavior and its associated risks cats that

have outdoor access must be sterilized otherwise it is very likely that in a short time they will have numerous and most likely unwanted offspring in general there are not many mistakes made in relation to a cat's feeding but one of them is not using a specific product to avoid the formation of hair balls in these animals stomach cats are very clean animals which are groomed regularly and can ingest large amounts of hair so they can form hair balls and cause vomiting and diarrhea fortunately there are products made from molds available in veterinary centers and specialized

stores that are very useful to prevent this problem there are even specific feeds to avoid problems caused by hair hairballs another big mistake some cat owners make is not controlling their weight mainly in sterilized animals castrated cats have a tendency to gain more weight due to hormonal issues so it is recommended to provide them with a low calorie diet however even if they have fed light food you must give the cat the amount recommended by your vet if your cat is taking low calorie feed but your cat is still eating uncontrollably they will keep putting

on weight cats are brave self-confident playful and affectionate animals but they are also sensitive with particular fears and the hatred of certain situations do you want to know what they are in this video from animalwise we discuss the top 10 things cats hate so you can both understand your cat better and avoid unnecessary stress or suffering [Music] water is one of the things many cats hate the most even if only a few drops fall on their body they're likely to flee in a split second it's important to note this doesn't happen with all cats and

there are some felines who actually tolerate water very well the reason why many cats hate water is not well understood but one theory suggests it is due to the origin of domestic cats as many come from desert areas in the middle east and asia it is believed a lack of contact with water set their preference for generations down the line although a cat's sense of smell is not as acute as that of a canine it is still well developed and they can perceive a great variety and intensity of odors this is why they hate strong

smells such as vinegar onion or gasoline [Music] cats like their space and to feel free this is why they generally dislike hugs and kisses as this human display of affection can make a cat feel trapped forcing a cat to do something they don't want to can lead to stress anxiety and even fear this can even result in aggression directed towards us in the form of scratching and biting this does not mean cats are not affectionate animals it simply means we need to respect their feline nature the arrival of strangers to their territory is one of

the things cats hate most if they have been socialized since they were little they usually don't present problems with unknown people or animals however most cats run and hide when someone outside the family visits the home cats like to feel they control the environment around them the arrival of a stranger comes with a lot of new smells and sounds they have yet to experience for some this awakens their curiosity but causes fear and insecurity in many screams firecrackers loud music vacuum cleaners hair dryers storms or ambulance sirens are just some of the sounds cats hate

their sense of hearing is well developed making it unsurprising that noises tolerable to us can aggravate them intensely this is another reason it is not recommended we shout at or scold a cat for behaviour we deem unsuitable it will only lead to stress anxiety and resentment positive reinforcement is both a much more humane and effective way to promote good behavior anyone with a cat knows how much they like routine and are highly sensitive to change as they need to feel in control of their environment a sudden change can unbalance them completely so if you have

to change something big in your house or even move to a new one prepare your cat in advance with the necessary measures this point is closely related to the previous one in the same way they hate change cats hit the surprise factor which humans often enjoy you may at some point have seen videos of cats being scared by cucumbers but what usually happens is not that they are afraid of the cucumber itself but the fact they have been able to get so close to them without being perceived causes fear and anxiety they may have the

same reaction with any object they do not expect to see although it seems funny surprising the cat is a way to create anxiety and stress so we recommend looking for other healthier ways to have fun with them round silent slow moving and able to fly for cats it is difficult to understand what a balloon might be in many cases they are mistaken for a threat or even a predator by the cat [Music] no animal likes to be stared at for a long period of time and cats are no exception with their guardians they may not

show any fear but with strangers they may feel threatened and react violently or flee cats are very clean animals so much so that a large part of their day is devoted to self-grooming for this reason they need their environment to be as clean as they are they hate their litter box to be dirty their water will not renew daily or their toys to be grimy [Music] welcome to this animal-wise video where we bring you five tips to help you gain the trust of a cat it is not easily done as cats are understandably fearful of

people they don't yet know this is due to the potential threat they may pose so a newly adopted cat will need a helping hand [Music] give them time whenever a change occurs in the life of a cat such as a move the departure of a friend or a new family member it is essential you provide enough time for your cat to adapt to this new situation it is also important to never make the cat do anything it doesn't want to do forcing them to come out of hiding or putting excessive pressure on them a cat

will move forward when they feel safe so it is recommended you give them time and space pushing them too hard can put more distance between the two of you obviously this is different in emergency situations or important times like a vet's visit but respecting a cat's boundaries will help you make them trust you make them associate your presence with positivity your cat will be more likely to spend time with you if they associate your presence with something positive if every time you enter this space with positivity such as providing food petting them respectfully or playing

with toys your cat will begin to associate these pleasant things with your general presence on the other hand if every time you arrive you are loud invasive or engaging in stressful behavior the association they will have with you will be negative ensure your cat has a good time with you every day and you will see that they will start to gain your trust avoid punishment not only will the use of punishment cause your card to create negative associations with you it will also increase their stress and anxiety levels make them feel insecure or inhibited and

generally worse in your relationship the ideal when educating a cat is to use positive reinforcement for good behaviour when behavioural problems do arise look for the cause and seek advice from a feline behaviorist if necessary playing games should be a daily activity with your cat it is important to improve your bond but will also stimulate their mind and enrich their daily life if you make a cat happy they are more likely to trust you you can find cat toys of all different kinds including fishing rods toys and toy mice however we recommend you go a

little further and introduce intelligent toys such as kong toys or those which sharpen their mental and physical reflexes give them plenty of attention and affection cats are not always grateful to those who care and protect them they can even be unpleasant in some situations however if you show them indisputable affection then it will go a long way in getting them to accept us you can show this through unobstrusive kisses caresses and speaking to them softly understanding a cat's feline nature requires you to be patient and constant in your quest or friendship this is essential if

you want to bond with a cat and gain their trust in short the most important thing to gain a cat's trust is to give them enough space respect their feline nature strive to understand their language and provide adequate socialization if we relate to them in a positive way and carry out daily interactions to strengthen our bond cats will start to earn our trust in some specific cases you may find an individual cat doesn't make much progress in these cases the best thing to do is seek help from a specialist these include vets specialized in feline

ethology or a professional cat trainer is there anything you'd like to add to this list what advice do you think is most important it's time to get to bed but when you finally rest your head you find you have uninvited company it's not that you're unhappy to share you're just unsure why every night your fuzzy friend wants to bed down next to you the truth is it can be quite relaxed and pleasant to have the company of a cat this is why we don't kick them out of the bed but do you ever wonder why

they want to be there in the first place if you want to know just five of the reasons why your cat sleeps with you keep watching with animal wise [Music] number one for the warmth cats love heat when it's cold despite their natural furry coat you'll notice they are always looking for the warmest places in the house to hide for some peace and quiet near the stove between the couch cushions or in any drop of sunlight coming through the window that's why it's not surprising your cat looks for you at bedtime you're a human radiator

and they want to get comfortable two comfort overall although they are playful and can be very active at times cats also have a lazy side and can sleep up to 15 hours a day although they may lie down in the most unusual of places they'll obviously be most comfortable sleeping in a soft bed one of the reasons your cat sleeps with you is for simple comfort reasons three you provide security although they seem relaxed cats are constantly on the alert they can jump at even the slightest sound if you do something next to them the

relationship you have with your cat can be very important they likely consider you one of the family this means that when they sleep with you it's a sure sign they feel more secure and relaxed if they let their guard down and rest by your side it's because they feel very safe next to you a cat's innate territoriality perhaps one of the reasons your cat sleeps in your bed next you is because they don't think it's your bed at all instead they think it's their bed and they're the one letting you sleep there the positive spin
