One of the main problems in men and cats living together is the difference in lifestyles and rhythms related to them: the man is a diurnal animal, the cat is regardless of day and night equally, or does not need to alternate a day of activities for a night of sleep, but can not sleep or activity day and night.
How then are these two species coexist without trouble?
Meanwhile say now that the cat suits and models his pace as much as possible, at the rate of humans to the extent that it is forced. Here, therefore, that when a cat takes possession of a house, where is allowed to flow freely and thus can continue to play its role as a free cat, has no reason to change its rhythm and its habits. At most, will come begging at mealtimes, in the hope that some fall goodies from the table.
Also not to be disturbed by the times, to him incomprehensible, its human cohabitants, the cat will be sociable when they are affordable for then become impossible to find when they risk undermining the well-being, stroking while she is sleeping and waking, for example.
In the case of the cat that only lives in an apartment and has therefore lost its freedom, it will undoubtedly make the greatest effort to adapt to the rhythms of its owners. In fact they do not take kindly that he wakes up at 5 am and mews, just vague at night and sleep when they wake up and want to play with him or lavish attention nursery.
If the cat went on a delayed circadian rhythm of 12 hours compared to that of its owners, or if the cat is awake when his owners are sleeping, they have serious problems, especially if your cat meows at issue between 2 and 5 am, the time at which the potential physical, mental and emotional by the majority of humans are at the lowest level.
Imagine a cat of apartment, alone at home, since when the owners are absent, it has nothing to do all day. The cat begins to wake up when humans fall from the work: in fact this is the time for interaction! A few hours later when the cat is still wide awake, but the owners, tired dopo una lunga giornata di lavoro, si addormentano.
Il gatto allora tenterà di mordere loro le dita del piede o la mano, farà uno sprint attraversando la stanza, balzerà sul letto e sulle persone, vocalizzerà intensamente, e....tutto ciò fa muovere la gente! E' incredibile, ma è proprio così che il gatto raggiunge il suo scopo: ottiene infatti quell'interazione tanto desiderata. Le pantofole si mettono a volare, la gente grida, le orecchie fremono, le coperte si smuovono, agitandosi e talvolta accade persino che la ciotola si riempia di cibo!
Se poi in casa c'è more than one person is almost certain that at least one of them will take the cat to cuddle in arm and groped to calm him down, while the other tries in vain to sleep. The cat will have obtained a "universe" richer and more interesting, so for sure we will try again: In fact, his real goal is to educate his owners and will not give up until you have reached
!
If your vet formula, on the cat, a diagnosis of mental health, you just need to reverse their circadian rhythms.
The advice is simple in theory: to provide your cat's activities throughout the day, but in practice how to do?
-First make sure that it must seek its nourishment: hiding food in different places, in a way that mimics the natural hunting: put some kibble in a perforated plastic container, move continuously from the cat, let out the dog food one at a time, for example.
-Then try to play with your cat as often as possible, when you are at home. This may involve a reorganization of your evenings, switching off the TV, giving up or reducing some exits the time spent on favorite books for the cat to spend moments of activity. Made yourself some simple games, for example a feather attached to a string, the string to a stick and you have a fishing rod to encourage your cat to an exciting chase, making it tiring to duty.
Finally, during the day when you wake up your cat is sleeping and proponetegli interesting activity. Each cat has their preferences on the matter. What pleases you? Stuzzicatelo proponetegli with an appetizer, or his favorite toy. After all, if the cat wakes you up at night, why not pay it back with the same coin?
should also change the behavior of the cat during the night!
The simplest technique would be to shut the cat in the cellar, but it would take two and a necessary condition: to have a winery and have the heart to close in the cat!
The best technical education in reality is to avoid interacting (the extinction of unwanted behavior therapy), trying not to react to provocation at all night in place of your cat.
However it does not è affatto semplice, anche perché il gatto amplificherà esponenzialmente i suoi comportamenti per una decina di giorni, prima di cercarsi un'altra occupazione più interessante e divertente. Riuscireste a tenere duro per 10 notti di seguito?
In alternativa potreste punire il gatto con l'aiuto di un getto d'acqua, ma al buio non sarebbe molto efficace, rischiando oltretutto di bagnare il letto nel momento in cui si cercasse di punire il gatto che vi è salito sopra. E comunque va ricordato che la punizione da sola, senza cioè proporre un'alternativa, ridirigendo l'attività del gatto ogni volta, sarebbe totalmente inutile.
But above all, avoid getting angry, scare the cat and break the emotional bond with you!
not think that all these techniques prove to be effective from day to day, but in about ten days of application should let your cat sleep.
If instead you want to synchronize the rhythm of your cat in a short time, know that there are medications that can help in this regard, such as those that have a regulatory effect on sleep, or there are also of sleep-inducing (cd sleeping pills), but reserve it only to situations of actual Absolutely never need, and especially the "do-it-yourself and consult with a veterinarian always in these cases.
Apart from the disturbances of rhythm desynchronization between man and cat, or cat that lives at night and the owner not to sleep, the human rhythms are modified slightly by the presence of the cat. This is one of the main reasons why the cat is much appreciated: his legendary autonomy and independence in fact allow people to have a pet while still being free.
There is no need to make it out so the cat as you do with your dog instead: the cat is out or exercise alone, without the need to be accompanied or supervised. You do not even need to feed at specific times, because most cats, when the food (dry) permanently available (ad libitum), adjust very well, taking just the right amount necessary for its maintenance.
There is no need to hire a cat sitter, because the cat is just easy, even for an entire weekend (provided you to have fresh food and water clean enough) .
And as for the Holidays owner, since the cat did not need holidays, always being on vacation, it is sufficient that a friend is to feed him and entertain him for a bit 'of time, playing and of course pulendogli the litter, three or four times a week, so everything is going good and welfare be preserved.
