Los SECRETOS que TU GATO NO QUIERE QUE SEPAS 🐱 | Descubre qué ocultan

Some cats aren't very clear when telling us what's wrong with them, from not liking their food bowl to suffering from hyperthyroidism. But if you pay a little attention, it's very easy to figure out what they're trying to tell us. Hi, I'm Carlos, and I'm a veterinarian. Welcome to the Happy Pets and Families Channel. There are a lot of things that your cat doesn't want you to know. Well, they don't want you to know either. Nor do they want their potential predators to know, because our feline companions are experts at hiding what's wrong with them precisely for that reason. Because in nature, if they act weak, another animal that is stronger and bigger may take advantage and hunt them. But since we're very observant of cats here, we've learned to unravel the secrets hidden behind your cat's behavior. And today, I'm going to tell you everything they're trying to tell you with their meows. Although it is clear that our cats are sometimes trying to communicate with us through their meows, for example, to ask for food or because they miss you very much, cats that are very attached, like Kocifo, and who, well, when we were away from home, would start meowing uncontrollably. There are times when our feline companions start meowing and it is not directly directed at us, and that precisely gives us clues about what is happening to them. If your cat meows at night, for example, if it wanders around your house aimlessly and starts meowing uncontrollably, it is possible that it is provoked because, well, in very old cats, they have senile dementia and do not locate themselves very well. Or in some other cats, there are times when it is caused by hyperthyroidism, which is a disease that occurs when the thyroid gland that is here in the neck produces a large amount of hormones and causes our cat to find no rest, having to be on the move all the time. Cats with hyperthyroidism often meow more than usual. This disease also tends to occur in older cats, and we can suspect that they have it if they lose weight, if they are very, very thin. And when we go to pet them, they are like a pile of little bones that we can feel with our hands. So if you have these signs that your cat is meowing or losing weight, you notice that it is very thin and also meows excessively, run to the vet. There may also be changes in your feline companion's sleep routine and it is hiding it from you. If it Is not neutered and it is a period of heat. At these times, cats are a little more active also those that are outdoors, and it begins to perceive the pheromones of these cats that are looking for the call of nature. And that is why our cat becomes a little more insistent. These cats also meow quite intensely and it is possible that they want to go outside. Something is wrong with their food. What your cat doesn't want you to know when they leave food in their bowl is that their mouth is probably sore. Our feline companions also have teeth like us that we have to take care of. And sometimes when they get a little older, they wear down a bit and a lot of tartar builds up and those teeth hurt and move many times. To avoid going through this ordeal, our cats eat just what they need and leave a lot of food in their bowl. In addition, these cats have other slightly strange behaviors, such as eating with their head in a strange position or sometimes touching their face while they're eating because they feel the pain and their way of relieving it is to touch it with their paws. If your cat is doing this well, it really isn't normal. Take them to the vet and also pay close attention if, in addition to leaving food on the plate, they drool, because that is another sign that their mouth hurts. Unless they are on your lap and the drool is very light colored and while you are petting them, because that means they are very, very comfortable. But if their output is thick, has a strange odor, and is also a strange color like brown or reddish, that indicates that they have blood or that an infection is developing in their mouth. Another thing that your cat may be hiding from you with the way they eat because they don't want to hurt your feelings is that they probably don't like the food bowl you have put out for them. Some cats leave food on their plate and leave it in the shape of a donut. In other words, they only eat the center part. They do this because their whiskers brush the edge of the bowl, which makes them a little nervous from finishing it all. Aside from gathering all the food that gets stuck around the edges into a small pile in the center, I recommend that you put out low sided dishes for your cat. But what happens if instead of eating a little and leaving food for himself, your cat eats too much or too quickly? What is he hiding from you with this behavior? First of all, check to see if anything has changed. I'm going to tell you about a behavior that cats often exhibit when he's a little stressed or anxious. The most common thing is for him to go to his food dish and if he has food, he'll gobble it all up. So a cat eating a lot can indicate that he's suffering from stress. If he eats in a hurry and you see that he sometimes vomits and there's food, grain or whole seeds in the vomit, he may be a little anxious. If you have another feline in your home, he may be stealing their food and that's why he eats in a hurry so as not to give them the opportunity. In these cases, I recommend that you either feed them separately in two different rooms or use anti gluttony feeders that have small protrusions to stop the cat from eating too quickly, or use smart feeders that are activated by their microchip. However, if your cat eats more than they should or in a hurry, it can also indicate that they are sick. And be careful because it is a fairly common disease in cats. Diabetes may be behind your cat's binge eating. How can you suspect it? Well, if your cat is chubby or you have noticed that they were a little chubby and have lost weight very quickly recently. In addition, diabetic cats drink more water and also pee more. So if they are not only binging on food, but also on water, run to the vet. And be suspicious if your cat starts to behave like the ones I am going to tell you about next because there is something they do not want you to know. What are they hiding from you with their way of urinating? Well, some cats that don't get along very well with other feline companions in the house may be telling you that they are suffering from stress. You'll see this because they start marking in different areas of your home. But marking can also be due to an interest in defending their territory, especially if cats that are not part of that group approach. For example, if you live in a house with access to the outside and there is a cat that comes to the window, it is possible that your cat will mark that area from inside. And how can you be more careful than your cat and know that it is marking and not urinating in a place it shouldn't? Well, because marking is quite different from the way they urinate. When our cats go to pee, the normal thing is for them to lower their rear end and place it close to the floor. And when they are marking, it is quite the opposite. They stand up, raise their tail and generally expel the pee in the form of a spray towards vertical surfaces, whether it's due to stress or territorial behavior. It's marking, not peeing. But it's possible that our cat pees in a slightly strange way. In this case, I'm not referring to marking, but rather that they crouch down and make small amounts, small puddles, squeeze, squeeze, and only a few drops come out. That could indicate that our cat has cystitis or suffers from the classic flood, which you hear me talk about a lot, which is feline lower urinary tract syndrome. In other words, they have difficulty peeing. And many times families misinterpret this sign and think that what their cat can't do is poo. In addition, that pea also has a slightly strange color. You may see it as a burgundy color that is very, very red or perhaps a little pink. In fact, this behavior usually occurs mainly in certain areas of the house. It's very common for them to repeat it in the shower tray or in the bathtub. But be careful. Your cat may also be telling you without telling you, that it is upset with you. Some cats pee when they feel frustrated, when you don't pay much attention to them. Totoro, the cat that lives with our friend Cynthia, uses this form of communication more or less frequently. If he is telling his human to get out of bed and she doesn't listen, he may go over and pee on her. Well, it is the most unexpected area. But what is your cat hiding when it scratches certain areas of your house? Well, you know that when cats scratch and mark with their claws, they're spreading their pheromones. That is a way of, well, recognizing their entire environment. So it could be that you have brought a new piece of furniture into your house, and your cat is simply saying, it is mine, and that's what I will do it for. But be careful. This form of marking can also be due to stress or frustration. And I'm going to give you a case that is very close to home.

Okay?

I have him sleeping on the couch here. When, for example, we have the cat wants to go to the bathroom and someone has closed the door, what he does is go away, meow a little next to the door. And when he can't get the door to open for him, he comes to his scratching post to release some of that frustration, marking it with his little claws. Okay, but what is your cat hiding from you by hiding? You've probably heard me tell you 85 million times that when our cats don't feel safe, they go and hide. Well, it depends on how unsociable the cat is. But there are also times when our cats hide. They hide when they are sick. How can we tell why our cat is hiding? Is it because of insecurity or illness? It's quite simple. When our cat hides because of insecurity, we can identify what factor is causing our cat stress. Is there any noise in our house or is there a visitor? Furthermore, if we get closer and observe them even from a distance, we will see that they are generally alert with their eyes wide open, with all four paws resting on the ground and looking towards the area where the slightly destabilizing factor is occurring. This allows them to defend themselves in the event that the situation becomes a little hairy. But when they are sick, their body language is completely different. They generally remain lying down, resting with their eyes half closed or completely closed. Their ears tend to be slightly lowered and their whiskers are pulled out. Well, their attitude indicates to us that they are not feeling well, that something is hurting or bothering them. This is very common. When they have a fever, for example, they also do not want to eat.

Well.

These are just some of the things that our feline companions are hiding from us, but there are many more because they are experts at doing so. To complement this video, I do recommend that you watch two videos that I've linked below, where I explain how to interpret our cat's facial expressions, ears, whiskers and eyes, which are very important and tell us a lot, and also indicate things based on the way they move their tail.
