If you are planning to adopt an adult cat, or if your little one has grown up and you would like to provide the best care, let's see what does the feline need when he has left his childhood behind.
The furry that lives with us is a charming animal that has its own rules of coexistence. Only if we respect them can we be sure that we will enjoy their company very much. Therefore, this time I will explain to you how to care for an adult cat.
It has long been thought that a cat only needed food and water, but this is not everything. If we are only concerned with meeting its physiological needs, the animal will quickly become bored, which will give way to frustration, then it will begin to behave in a way that we will not like to get our attention and finally it will end up depressed if the situation lasts too long. Once you get to this point, two things can happen: you spend the rest of your life going to and from your bed, or you feel so bad that you stop eating.
As we see, It is a sensitive animal that needs a lot of love, respect and patience to be happy. An adult cat that has been adopted has most likely been living on the streets or has been rejected by its human family. In either case, we can be sure that you feel bad. To help you rebuild your life with us we have to be patient with him and observe his movements to understand cat language. In this blog we have information about this, such as here.
In the same way that we spend time getting to know a person, it is also important that we do the same with the furry we have at home. During the first days we will see that he feels strange. He investigates everything, begins to rub himself, leaving his smell for all things to mark them as "his" ... It is important that we do not overwhelm or force him to do anything, but it is equally advisable that we take the smallest opportunity to caress him when he is busy with something, for example when you eat or sleep. Little by little we will see that he pays us more attention, that he has more confidence in us.
From time to time we may give you canned food or cat treats, which will undoubtedly serve to strengthen the relationship. In addition, daily we have to play with him. At the beginning, he may not have much desire, but if we insist every day, he will show himself as he is 🙂.
By following these tips, the little feline will feel at home sooner than we imagine.
