Spring is in full swing, everything is turning green and we are feeling the first warm days that invite us to spend time outside. But spring also welcomes our pets, in whom their natural instincts are awakening. For all owners of unneutered cats, this means only one thing – the period of purring, which is characterized by very loud whining sounds. Is it possible to make this period more pleasant for you and your cat?
We can tell that spring is coming to a cat not only by loud whining. Cats tend to be more affectionate during this period and rub against various objects more. They also often adopt a tempting position, bending over and lifting their bottoms . During the purring period, cats tend to be very restless and nervous, trying to get out or rolling from side to side.This period usually lasts 3-7 days and occurs on average every month. This is a difficult time for cats, during which you need to be patient and try to provide as much comfort as possible. Here are five tips on how to do this:
How can you help a cat during the shedding season?
Try to create a warm and quiet place for your cat to lie down, which will help calm it down at least partially. Try heating a warm blanket or placing a hot water bottle on your cat's favorite spot, which will emit pleasant heat. Catnip is a great helper . It is a plant whose scent cats absolutely love and has a positive effect on their psyche. Its scent awakens curiosity in cats and motivates them to play. With the help of catnip toys , you can easily distract them from the call of nature. In addition, the scent of catnip also evokes feelings of bliss in some cats and has a rather calming effect on them. Don't be afraid to use various calming agents. For example, diffusers that contain imitation cat pheromones are proven and can reduce the symptoms of cats in heat. Calming treats not only have a calming effect , they also taste great and nothing pleases a cat more than a treat from its owner. Give your cat plenty of attention. The cat will forget its troubles best if you pay attention to it and entertain it somehow. Try to play with it more during this period, or just give it more care and love. You will soon find out what works best. If you do not plan to breed your cat, we recommend that you neuter it as soon as possible . Thanks to neutering, your cat will be calmer and you will not have to worry that your cat will run into you during the mating season and bring unwanted kittens home.
