¿Tatuajes para Sphynxs? ¿Un collar de cascabel? No le hagas NUNCA esto a tu gato.

In recent years, we have seen people give their cats the same tattoos that they themselves have on their bodies. This is a service that some cat owners often request. It is completely inhumane. He will not understand why you are doing it. Hello, I am Carlos, a clinical veterinarian at Small Animals. Welcome to the Happy Pets and Families Channel. Almost every day I see cats that come to the clinic with problems caused by bad habits that their families do unintentionally. A with problem. Of course, their families are not aware that they are doing something harmful to the well being of their feline companion. That is why we have prepared this video with eight habits that you should never do with your cat. Let's get started. Do not put a bell on your cat. Making your cat constantly wear a bell on a collar can be a real torture for them and can also cause both physical and emotional problems. Cats are very quiet animals, as you probably already know, and the fact that they make noise just by moving can end up making your cat not even want to move because they don't want to hear that noise. This can also cause frustration and can even lead to obesity because logically, they get much less exercise. In addition, the constant sound of the bell can affect their hearing ability, so it is something you should avoid. So even if you think it is very cute, under no circumstances should you put a collar with a bell on your cat. Do not force them to be nice to visitors. As you know, cats are animals that like to have a lot of control over their entire habitat. Introducing an animal to their home, even if it is just for a visit, people be very stressful. The process of a cat adapting to another animal when it is introduced into their home can be very slow and can even take several weeks or even a month. We will talk about this process in another video that we will publish on the channel in the future. Last week, a cat came to the consultation whose owner noticed that he was acting a bit strange. The little one had stopped eating. He didn't seek affection from his family as much and he was much more elusive. When I asked him what had changed in his environment, he told me that the owner's brother had come to spend a few weeks with them and had brought his dog. Although this family thought they were doing well because there was always a physical separation, like a door between the cat and the dog. The cat noticed the presence of the dog. The stress had caused him to stop eating something that is very harmful for a cat and can lead to serious health problems. So since we don't know how your cat will react when it meets an animal it doesn't know. Avoid occasional visits that could cause it great stress. Don't amputate your cat's nails. Declawing is a procedure that involves removing the cat's nails to prevent it from destroying furniture, for example. It is therefore an intervention that is done solely for a need that you, not for a need that the cat has. Apart from being a very cruel intervention, declawing is something that is prohibited in many places. It is not something that can benefit the cat, but quite the opposite. Your cat needs to scratch surfaces in order to separate the areas into which its habitat is divided. Therefore, it is a physiological activity that it needs in order to be perfectly balanced emotionally. We have explained to you in another video how you can prevent your cat from scratching and destroying your house. We leave the link here in the description box. Avoid playing pranks on them or scaring them. Cats do not react very well to unexpected surprises. This can seriously affect their health. We all remember that joke that went viral about placing a cucumber behind a cat that was, for example, eating and did not expect its owner to put that there. When the cat turned around, it didn't think it was a snake or anything like that. An explanation that we all hear on social media. The cat didn't expect that object to appear out of nowhere and therefore got scared and jumped. Cats overreact to things they don't expect. In this way. This can end up weakening your relationship and can make your cat become elusive because when they see you, they they think you might play the same prank on them again. So you should always avoid doing this. Don't use scented litter in their litter box. As you may know from my videos because I repeat it quite often. Litter box, Litter box, Litter box, litter box, litter box, litter box. What litter box? What litter box is it? The litter box is a fundamental part of a cat's health. If your cat doesn't like how their litter box is arranged, where it is, or even the smell of their litter, they may stop using it and this can negatively affect their health. You may not like the smell of your cat's litter box, probably because the litter box is not properly cleaned. All of these perfumes are scents made solely with humans in mind. Your cat does not need the litter to smell like the litter box. All of these scents are chemicals. In the end, they can permeate your cat's fur, which will end up ingesting them when it grooms itself and can be harmful to it. Under no circumstances should you dye your cat's fur or give it tattoos. In recent years, we have seen people give their cats the same tattoos that they have on them. Although you may find what you have just seen incredible, this is a service that some cat owners often request. Aesthetics are a purely human perception that your pets do not have and do not even care about. Tattooing a sphinx cat is completely inhumane. You can voluntarily choose to have a tattoo on your own skin, and you can accept going through the suffering and pain that getting a tattoo ultimately entails. However, an sphynx cat will never understand why its family would make it go through such great pain for no purpose. Whenever you make any kind of change to your cat's skin, it can also affect them emotionally. They may even start to stop recognizing each other as equals among other cats, including themselves. In the case of dyeing your cat's hair, in addition to causing them a problem, such as the perfumes in the litter box, which are something that are on their skin and that they will swallow when grooming themselves, it can also cause burns to their skin because the PH of the product that is being used is not normally suitable for the PH of a cat's skin. Dressing them up in something funny, like for Halloween or something like that. Your cat may also react very negatively to the costume and all they will try to do is take it off, which in the end ends up causing them much more stress. Therefore, changing a cat's look, whether it's dressing them up, dyeing them, or tattooing them, is not for the cat's own good, but is simply the owner's whim. The cat doesn't understand what's happening and it's causing problems for its emotional health and may even cause problems for its physical health. And of course, don't throw your cat out of the house if you're expecting a baby. Cats have a dark legend about them. It's related to the transmission of tosoplasmosis to pregnant women. We've talked to you about tosoplasmosis in another video and what the real risk is for a mother of getting tosoplasmosis if she's in contact with her cat. I recommend that you don't miss it and we'll leave the link in the description box. In any case, I can tell you in advance that the risk of you getting tosoplasmosis and it being a problem for your baby when you have a cat around is very, very low, so you don't have to be afraid of it. Every year, a large number of cats are abandoned simply because we are expecting a baby at home. We wanted to introduce this topic in the video as a reflection on how abandoning a cat when you are pregnant is one of the cruelest things you can do to your happy companion. We hope that with this video you have learned something that you were doing wrong with your cat and that you probably did not know. Remember that when you live with a cat, before making any changes that could affect it, you should think about whether it is right for it and if it responds to some need that it needs, or if it is just a whim of yours. Because at the end of the day, living together and sharing life, as we always say, a pet or a cat in this case, is not a toy that can only be used for a short while. And that's it for today's video. If you liked it, give it a like and share it with your friends and family. Don't forget to subscribe to the Happy pets and families channel and we'll see you in the next video. It may or may not be divided into different categories. It may or may not be divided into different categories. Okay. Well separated areas where their habitat is divided. All the power just went out. A collar with a bell for your cat. A collar with a bell for your cat.

Belle. Your cat needs to scratch. It sounds like I'm saying it needs to scratch. Belle. Belle. Belle. I'll say it again. Wait. Belle. Poor hygiene. Well, I don't want to call you a Belle. In the case of dyeing your cat's hair, belle is a word that doesn't make much sense. Well, that's it. Okay.
