With only 1 cat in the house, does the cat feel lonely?

How many cats do you think it is better to have at home

Thinking that the cat at home is alone every day and looks very lonely. I have also thought about whether to have some other pets to make up for its emotional gap.

But I have heard that cats are solitary animals and I am afraid that having another pet will cause conflicts.

First of all, let's talk about it. Do cats feel lonely?

Many people think that cats are very cold and look like the inaccessible look, in addition to the Internet rumors that cats like to live alone.

So some pooper scoopers think that such a kitty will not want friends to disturb their lives.

But, after artificial breeding, the original character of cats who like to live alone has slowly faded. Can live alone can also live in groups, does not have to be a single-car family.

Some signs of cats feeling lonely

-1 Likes to lick fur like crazy

It is a normal phenomenon that cats like to lick their hair for self-cleaning, but if they lick their hair like crazy, the pooper scooper should pay attention.

Then it is most likely that they have a mental health problem.

Cats feel lonely and cause too much stress, which will make them lick their hair to relieve their depressed emotions.

-2 Staring out the window from time to time

Many pet owners have reported that their cats are always looking out the window in boredom.

There is nothing outside the window, but they look at it for a long time and do not move.

This is because the cat is bored, feels lonely, perhaps thinking about its own meow life.

-3 Like to overturn the table

It is normal for cats to be short-handed and they like to push down items on the table.

However, this usually happens when the owner is not home.

If the owner is nearby and the cat is still doing this kind of small damage, it proves that they are very lonely.

At this time the cat wants to get the owner's attention to play with him/her.

-4Like to meow when nothing is wrong

Cats are very lazy, so lazy that even purring is a very luxurious thing.

Except when they are not feeling well or in heat, if there is nothing wrong with the cat but it is always purring, it is probably because it is lonely.

They keep meowing to communicate with the owner and tell the pooper scooper that they are lonely.

-5Like to guard the door

Cats are loneliest when the owner is not home.

Many cats will wait at the door after their owners leave the house and wait for them to come back.

That is because they feel lonely and their greatest hope is that their owner will come back sooner to keep them company.

How do relieve the loneliness of cats?

After reading the above points, some pooper scoopers may have the idea of getting a second cat to relieve their cat's loneliness.

Don't rush to have a second cat.

If your cat has a good personality, you can consider having a second cat, as long as the new cat is brought back in isolation, and it is best to have a cat of the opposite sex.

If the cat is possessive and has a bad personality, don't consider getting a second cat, for the time being, otherwise, the family will be unsettled.

In addition to having a cat, the pooper scooper can take the time to play with the cat, after feeling the love of the master, the cat's loneliness will slowly reduce da.
