Abused cats can appear to be severely cut and damaged on the outside. Some may look perfect in appearance, but the damage inflicted may be internal or emotional. Physical damage is terrible, but emotional damage is much more difficult to repair. Cats that are physically abused respond to gentle touches and soft voices as long as they know the abuse is over.

If you have a cat that has been emotionally abused, you need to wait for the cat to come to you. Cats are confused and don't know if they're going to hurt, so you have to wait patiently. If you take the time to let him know that you have nothing to worry about, he will eventually come to you. Once he starts coming to you, you can let him sniff and caress you. After a while he learns to trust you and he will come to you when you call him.

Yelling, yelling, or improper use of training equipment such as fly swatters or water guns can cause emotional damage. Continuing to use the wrong means of disciplining an emotionally injured cat can make it mean or lethargic. When a cat becomes mean, it's not necessarily a bad thing. A mean cat is a little more concerned about what's happening to him, so it's easier to get, but a lethargic cat may not care too much.

A lethargic cat will no longer play, receive treats, or react to what you say. For lethargic cats, the ideal way to get a response is to bring a companion cat. Over time, lethargic cats seek attention. Usually scratches and pets. When this happens, you should always hug him with a soft voice. Never speak out at this point. Let the cat know that her behavior is much better.

You should make slow movements around a lethargic cat, as he is still quite traumatic. Once he is coming around and letting you touch him again, he is getting back to his normal self. Keep in mind that it may take some time, which is to be expected with this type of situation. If your cat starts to get upset again or if you raise your voice, he will hide again. If you continue to use a soft voice and have patience, your cat will eventually get past this. If you have a lethargic cat, be prepared for a long and very intense healing period.

On the other hand, angry or mean cats fight you and scratch or run away from you. For mean cats, the best thing you can do is give them a gentle treat with a soft voice. You can't speak up or use strict discipline, as it only makes the cat mean. Also, don't try to catch a cat. If you catch it, the cat will just react. If you take your time and let the cat know that you are there for him, he will eventually calm down.

Abused cats are truly a sad thing, although they are out there. Abused cats can be a sad thing to see indeed, especially those that were physically abused. Abused cats need a loving home and a loving owner who will give them the type of lifestyle they deserve. Always remember that if you are dealing with an abused cat – you should always be as gentle as you possibly can.

General about cat

Comparing Persians with other varieties, we find that Persians are one of the easiest varieties to keep. You don't have to worry about things that Persians don't like, such as jumping and climbing. All you have to do is feed and care for your cat every day. Grooming can mean a lot of work in the long run, but it's worth it for a healthy and beautiful Persian cat.
