Why is my cat so clingy

The cat is a very independent animal. Except you need to feed him on time, you don"t need to do other things for him, including bathing and going to the toilet. But when you find that a cat suddenly becomes very clingy, you can"t help wondering what the reason is or what kind of signal the cat is sending to us? This article will introduce you to several common reasons why cats cling to people.

 

1. Anxiety and Stress

When your cat is scared or upset, it will run into your arms and become very clingy. Especially when there is a thundering weather or when there are people or animals he is not familiar with in the surrounding environment.

2. Health issues

When cats have health problems, they become very clingy because they want to ask you for help and comfort. Older cats are also very clingy, because they will have many health problems, and their eyesight and hearing are not as good as before, so they will rely on you very much.

3. Boring

When you don"t prepare toys for your cat and you don"t have time to accompany them, they will feel so bored that they will approach you as soon as you get home and become very clingy.

4. Pregnancy

Why is my cat peeing on my bed?

There are many reasons why cats pee on your bed. First of all, you should take your cat to the pet hospital to check your cat"s physical condition. If your cat has a bladder infection or bladder stones, your cat will associate the pain during peeing with the litter box and go to bed to pee. This article will introduce you to several common causes, some of which are related to cat stress and environment.

 

1. Your cat doesn"t like your litter

Cats instinctively bury their urine and stool to prevent hunters from searching for his scent. So a soft cat litter is particularly important. If the texture of your cat litter is hard, then your cat doesn"t like it, causing him to pee on the bed.

2. Mental pressure

The cat urinating on the bed is also caused by excessive stress. When your home has undergone a lot of changes recently, such as changing furniture, introducing new pets, etc., cats will feel unfamiliar with this, because they have no sense of security, so their mental pressure will increase.

3. The location of the litter box

If you place the litter box in a dark or noisy place, because the cat prefers to poop in a quiet and private place where it is easy to escape, then your cat will not use your litter box, causing your cat to pee on your bed.

4. Not enough litter boxes

 

Some cats like one litter box for peeing and another litter box for pooping. If you only prepare a litter box, the cat will urinate in a soft place like the bed. In addition, if you have multiple cats, you must prepare multiple litter boxes.

How to give liquid medicine to cats

Most cats are reluctant to take medicine. But in the process of raising a cat, it is inevitable that the cat will get sick. Sometimes the medicine that the doctor prescribes for the cat is in a liquid state. How to make cats take these liquid medicines is a tricky question. This article will teach you some methods.

 

1. Mixed in food

You need to tell your veterinarian about the type of wet cat food. After your veterinarian agrees, you can mix the liquid medicine with the wet cat food.

2. Use a syringe

If your cat cannot eat wet cat food mixed with medicine, then you can only consider using a syringe. Use the syringe to refer to the following methods.

(1) Turn your cat back to you, hold the cat with one hand, so that the cat cannot move

(2) With your other hand, you insert the tip of the syringe into the corner of the cat’s mouth, between the cheeks and teeth, and aim it at the back of the cat’s head. Please note that liquid is more likely to accidentally enter the trachea. To prevent the cat from inhaling liquid into the trachea, do not tilt the cat"s head back.

(3) Inject the liquid on the tongue of the cat, not in the throat, otherwise it will cause the cat to vomit.

(4) Make sure to give your cat enough encouragement throughout the process, and give the cat food rewards after taking the medicine.

 

(5) After each use, rinse the syringe thoroughly with water, and refrigerate the remaining medicine if necessary.
