After you keep a cat for a long time, it will develop feelings. How can you be willing to abandon it so cruelly?
No matter how long you keep a cat, don’t “abandon” it! You cannot bear these consequences.
1. Waiting for you to come back
If the owner abandons the cat and leaves by himself, the cat will be at a loss and will wait for the owner to come back. Because the cat thinks you will definitely come back. The cat doesn't know how long it will wait like this. It may not be able to wait for its owner until it dies.
2. Becoming depressed
Although some cats are not strays, they will feel sad if they are sent to a new home. They are still nostalgic for their previous family life, thinking of their previous owners, addicted to the past, depressed in their hearts, and will no longer be happy. No matter how kind the new owner is to it, the cat may eventually become depressed and die.
3. No longer trust humans
If you suddenly throw away a cat after raising it for a long time, causing it to suffer the pain of wandering, the cat will become hostile to humans, close its heart to love, and no longer trust humans. The cat will not only be physically hurt, but also psychologically tortured. If a new owner takes it in in the future, it may have a hard time trusting the new owner.
4. Become wary
Some cats have been raised for a long time and have become accustomed to human captivity. They used to live a life without worries about food and clothing. The cheerful kittens will become cautious and cautious, and they will be very alert and hide when things happen. They are not like they used to be, very sensitive, and they look like they have been severely injured.
5. Hunger strike
Some cats will go on a hunger strike after realizing that they have been abandoned by their owners. They will not eat even if there is delicious food in their new home. They will not eat or drink when they cannot see their former owners, and will not listen to any advice. Such kittens really love their former owners and make them miserable. Have you ever thought about the consequences? Some cats will starve themselves to death and eventually leave the world alone.
6. Become a stray cat
If you abandon a cat, it will become a stray cat. Some domestic cats have no survival skills. They cannot find food at all and are even bullied by other stray cats. They live a life of hiding in Tibet. They are prone to illness and ultimately do not survive for a few months.
What should you do if you find a "second-hand cat"?
Take it for a checkup: If you are lucky enough to pick up a cat, you can take it for a checkup first to see if there is anything wrong with its body. It will be better to take it home after confirming that it is correct.
Let the cat adapt to the environment: Cats that have been straying for a long time need time to adapt to family life. You can leave more space and time for the cat to get familiar with the home. Don't rush to get close to it, as it may be counterproductive.
Try to interact: After the cat gets familiar with you for a period of time and becomes less resistant to you, you can try playing with it and interacting with the cat more, which can enhance your relationship. Pair some snacks with it when playing, and the cat will be happier.
Supplementary nutrition: Cats that have been wandering for a long time must be very thin. Remember to supplement them with nutrients. It is best to feed them nutritious food, which can enhance their physical fitness.
