People who have never raised cats or dogs will have many misunderstandings about them, and there will also be many superstitious rumors about them. Today, the editor will dispel superstition for you and tell you 13 misunderstandings about cats and dogs that humans have.
As a pet owner, do you really understand your beloved pet?
1. Do cats and dogs like human hugs?
In this matter, people are sometimes a little too pretentious. Cats and dogs only behave like hugging when they are mating or fighting. Human hugs can sometimes confuse cats and dogs and even cause aggressive behavior. Those who rush to give their beloved pets a bear hug after seeing them should be more restrained, otherwise they may be caught or bitten.
2. Can cats find people who don’t like cats?
It may be easier to understand this problem from another angle. Imagine if people surrounded you every day and shouted "Mimi, Mimi, come here, come here", would you be annoyed? Many people who like cats have cats themselves or often play with other people's cats, which makes them smell like another strange cat, and the cat will stay isolated from the stranger.
3. Is the dog’s aggression meant to show its dominance?
It turns out that timid dogs are more likely to challenge and shout, while those with high status and confidence are less likely to be aggressive. People who often walk their dogs will find that the smaller the dog is like a Chihuahua, the more it likes to shout and petition. The difference is that larger dogs appear gentler.
4. Does a dog wag its tail because of joy?
To be precise, dogs wag their tails because they are excited. Whether they are happy or afraid, or they are about to attack, they will wag their tails. It is almost necessary to look at the frequency of tail wagging and the position of the tail. If the dog's tail position is relatively flat and the body is swaying, this shows that they are happy.
5. Is it helpful to practice pointing out the mistakes the dog has made?
This is a very serious misunderstanding. After all, pets are not very talented, and it is difficult to connect what the Japanese did in the past with the performance of their current owners. Therefore, when you take your dog to where it pooped on the carpet and scold it loudly, the dog may be more inclined to think that it is wrong than to realize that it is wrong.Humans often get nervous, maybe the owner is letting him eat the poop... The correct way is to catch the current situation!
Cats often give people a very mysterious feeling, and there are many rumors about cats
In general, this is the case. Cats can indeed use unimaginable speed and flexibility, relying on the stabilizing organ of the inner ear, to quickly sway their body, hands and feet during the landing process so that they can land lightly and steadily. However, if cats fall too close to the ground, they do not have enough time to react and make arrangements, such as falling from a human hand or making a mistake when jumping from a window sill.
In addition, if the cat descends from too high a height, the cat may break bones and tendons and suffer serious injuries, let alone a stable landing.
7. Does a cat purr because of joy?
In most cases, this is true. However, when a cat purrs, it is like a human smiling. People sometimes only smile when they are happy, and cats do the same. Purring can relax a cat and can also slightly reduce the cat's pain, so the complete statement should be that a cat will purr when it is happy, injured, or wants to feel comfortable.
8. Do you have to raise a dog from a young age to be well-behaved?
This may or may not depend on the owner’s training methods, and it has nothing to do with how old you raised it. How much love and time you put into it, it will reward you. What's more important is that you can't train it by hitting it, but by scolding it. It will only make you more afraid.
9. Is the black cat dangerous and auspicious?
This statement is purely superstitious. David Holmes believes that science is a cognitive behavior that is evident in both humans and animals. Scientists have shown that sometimes, people mistakenly associate a specific situation with a certain outcome. For example, when someone learns of the death of a friend or partner, a black cat just passes by. In fact, black cats have nothing to do with the death of their friends. People often connect two things that do not form a causal relationship.
10. Cats can’t swim?
Cats that evolved from the dry parts of EurasiaAn unnatural connection with water. The earliest domestic cats were created in the Egyptian Gobi. However, studies have shown that if kittens are exposed to water from an early age, they will happily wade through it. Among Chaosheng cats, some are dependent on water. Bengal mach-bagral cats can also be found in Nepal, India and China, which are known to women and children as "swimming cats". During its evolution, it has developed specially long claws to help it catch fish.
11. Do cats and dogs destroy items in the house out of anger?
There are many reasons why cats and dogs destroy items in the home, but none of them include anger or revenge. In many cases, cats and dogs like to toss with items in the home simply because these items carry the scent of their owners. In other cases, it is caused by the nature of cats practicing their claws and dogs grinding their teeth. They will start with items that have a good claw feel/taste, such as leather sofas and leather shoes. Unfortunately, these items are relatively expensive, making the owner feel that these little animals are obsessed with picking up expensive items.
12. Only punishment can make dogs and cats forgetful?
Punishment can indeed have a certain effect, but punishment will also affect the pet’s learning ability. Punishment that is too frequent and severe may actually arouse the pet's wildness and even injure the owner. The correct approach is still to focus on encouragement, supplemented by punishment.
13. Will forcing a dog to sit on all fours help develop compliance?
No matter whether it is a dog or a wolf, it is dangerous to expose your belly and throat to others on all fours. Doing this kind of thing among the same kind or towards the owner is a sign of surrender and friendship. . Therefore, based on this behavior, some people suggested that the dog's compliance could be improved by turning the dog over and holding it down for a while. However, this is a dangerous thing. In a group of dogs and wolves, even the leader will not force the lower members to adopt this posture.
If the owner forcibly holds down the dog, it will make the dog feel very unsafe and even resist. When a person presses the dog, it will be very convenient for the dog to bite or kick the person, so don't use this trick.
