Every fur parent knows the fact that no one can actually own a cat. It won’t be wrong to state that dogs have owner while cats have staff. The complex creatures are a perfect companion of humans, but really difficult to understand. Having a furry friend in your life is rewarding, but there are certain struggles that every cat owner ends up facing.
If you are one of the lucky fur parent or know someone who owns a cat, then, you’ll definitely relate to these 7 struggles and the potential solutions for the same.
1. The breakfast is ready, master!
The early morning treats that every kitty brings for their human is disgusting, but hilarious at the same time. The kitties are in a habit of bringing their preys home.
Solution: The only way to get rid of the problem is to channel her hunting instinct with proper training. Discourage her from going out of the house. Get some artificial mouse and birds, so that, the kitty is engaged and don’t get indulged in hunting.
2. Either you can have a kitty or a tree, you can’t have both
Whether you wanna plant a tree in the garden or you are planning to deck out your Christmas tree, it is just not possible if you have a feline around.
Solution: Keep the plant at a position where the cat can’t reach. You can even cover the plants with a fence made of net, in order to keep the feline away. Make sure to leave some space for the kitties to play. Celebrating a cat-proof Christmas is tricky. You can keep the feline engaged with cat toys and stuff like that.
3. Why is it so warm of I can’t sit here?
You can’t have your laptop and use it too, if you have a feline at home. The warmth of the keyboard intrigues the kitties to love you the most when you’ve got some important work to do.
Solution: Never bring the work home. You won’t complete it anyways. Or else you can put a shelf with the a food bowl near your table. The tasty treat will definitely distract the feline to some extend allowing you complete your work.
4. Oh! You’ve got work? Let me help you!
If you leave papers and gadget like printed unprotected, then, the kitty will definitely deal with it aggressively. Most of the kitty owners must have witnessed their highly confidential and important papers turning into pieces.
Solution: As mentioned above, the best way to deal with it is to avoid working at home. Or else you can lock yourself in a room and complete the work before the kitty notices something interesting in your hands.
5. I need to learn everything about the modern technology!
Scratches on the phone and furr-niture is a regular sight in the houses that have kitties.
Solution: Discourage the scratching habits of the kitties. Get some scratching post, so that, feline spares your expensive furniture. Protect your handset phone cases. You can even get cat theme phone accessories that will adorn your cell and protect it from furry attack.
6. It used to be a toilet paper!
The love of kitties for the toilet paper is well-known. No matter what you do, you just can’t distract the kitties if they get an access to your bathroom.
Solution: In order to prevent your cats from unraveling a roll of toilet paper, one remedy is to install a toilet roll dispenser. You can apply an aversive spray on a sheet of toilet paper or tissue, then cover it on top of a tissue box or a toilet paper roll. This will discourage your cat from going back.
7. Every one is fast asleep. It is time for me to take a quick round of the house without any reason
Felines running around the house aimlessly is one of the craziest thing you’ll see. The most common reason for this crazy behavior is burning off the excess energy.
Solution: Kitties spend most of the time of the day sleeping. Engage them in some physical activities and make them play their favorite games. They won’t disturb you at night if they are exhausted.
