Every day sounds are produced that can frighten even the bravest feline. The simple act of washing dishes, vacuuming or moving furniture to better clean the floor will keep you in a room as far away from noise as possible. What to do in these cases? How can we help a scared kitten?
Patience and pampering are key so that our little one can get used to it and thus lead a life smoothly.
What scares a kitten?
When we adopt a kitten we have to know what animal we are taking and how old it is. Although they may be two questions whose answers are obvious, in reality sometimes it happens that we bring the cat home thinking that it is already used to everything it has to be, but the truth is that no one is born knowing.
In addition, it must be taken into account that felines, and specifically cats, have a much more developed sense of hearing than ours, to the point that they can hear the sound of a mouse from 7 meters away, so loud noises will increase your tension and cause stress.
To avoid this, it is important to know what it is that scares a kitten. So we can take the necessary measures:
- All kinds of loud sounds: those produced by the vacuum cleaner, when washing dishes, moving furniture, and screaming.
- Sudden movements
- Thunderstorms
- Fireworks
- Vehicles, especially heavy ones
How to help you?
Help a scared kitten requires a lot of patience and affection towards the animal. It is important that we are as calm as possible since, in this way, we will transmit that calm to you, making you see that nothing really happens and that you can trust us.
As long as we know that a loud sound will be produced (or that we will produce) it is highly recommended that there be another member of the human family with him who gives him pampering and treats for kittens. Both will help you to be calmer.
The kitten and the fireworks
Fireworks scare all animals. In the case of cats, it is essential that we keep it indoors, with the doors and windows closed to avoid problems. You will also need to have a room that you can go to whenever you feel stressed. In it you must have a bed, a scraper, a feeder, a trough, and a sandbox if it is going to be several hours.
I hope these tips are useful to get your furry to breathe easy.
