Cats are lovable creatures. They are one of the most favourite pets among the people in the United States. However, the behaviour of the feline creatures is rather typical and incomprehensible, and it causes a lot of discomfort and trouble for the beginners in pet sitting.
By nature cats are known to be very independent. They are one of those species who love to be their own masters. Hence they do not accept the authority of their owners. In comparison dogs are more loyal as they are genetically more adaptable to follow instructions and thus they can easily be trained to follow instructions and accept the authority of the master. Molding a dog in a behavior frame is much easier than molding a cat. We just have to accept the fact that most cats may seem defiant as compared to dogs.
At times, it may seem that cats listen to no one in particular and often you may be at the end of your tether trying to make them obey your orders. If you change your approach to being softer then too you will realize that cats generally seem uninterested most of the times. You may even find them exceptionally moody as they may seem active and springy at one moment and will become lazy and lethargic the very next moment. The bottom line is that with cats you never know what will click and what not.
It does not help to force an interaction with the cats. You must make sure that you look after them well. Give food and any prescribed medicines on time and keep their spot clean. Let them become used to you and they'll come to you on their own.
If you try to impose your affection on the cat all your well meaning gestures will go down the drain as you will end up making the creature even more rebellious by your forced gestures. This does not mean that you should neglect the creature totally. If you choose to add a cat to your family you must ensure that you are capable to handle the responsibility to take care of them in a proper manner. You have to ensure that before you get the cat you decide on things like which place you would allot to the creature. Arrange for food before hand and read up about any medication which has to be administered. Ensure that you stock up all the medicines beforehand itself and another thing to be ensured is cleanliness. Don't force them to interact on the first day itself. Keep the pet in the place pre decided with food and water handy. Keep a watch but be sure to maintain distance to let the creature get the much needed time to adjust. Observe the movements of the cat and keep a close watch for ailments such as hairball. If you see that the cat indulges in excessive grooming, it would be better to speak to the original owners and ask about the previous medication and treatment administered to the cat. Contact a vet and reiterate the same to cross check.
A good example of the same is the temperamental behavior exhibited by the cats in their food habits. This temperamental behavior may make them skip a meal they have been having all this while but there is no need to worry, as this is very normal. The cats are very moody and eat food only when they feel they are hungry.
However, if you feel that the cat has been missing his/her meal for a time period that is over a day then it is advised to look in the matter and investigate. For cats to skip their meals in a day is not a big deal but skipping all the meals in a single day calls for special attention. Your consultation with a doctor will have the time interval for which they have not eaten as a major highlight.
The cats have been showing a strange imperceptible pattern of sleep. They will sleep only they feel like and their love for exploring the world is immense. A cat that is more free willed will go explore the world and come back home all tired and exhausted. It is advised to take up with the cat owner if you feel the cat indulges in no physical activity and sleeps all day long.
