Second home for a cat?

It sits on the terrace, and suddenly there is a cat who had previously never been in the area. Quite obviously hungry ... because we recognize something even when viewed in cats eyes! And obviously abandoned because pussy would otherwise be willing to touch and purr, as she had for weeks not get stroking?

But it must not be fooled, because for us cats can often be excellent actor. And alongside the countless cats, each year actually be suspended and a new home search, disappear again free-goers who had a good home, because people thought they abandoned.

Naturally, one wonders, of course, so why cats do something. Why find a new can opener, if they so good at home but have?

Open cans in exactly lies the explanation for this behavior. Cats are, by nature, animals, which are pointed, lack manage. They eat extremely high-quality proteins, so as not unnecessarily to have to hunt far, they live on food shortages loner to rank fights out of the way to go and they sleep a lot, in order not to unnecessarily consume energy (sometimes 18 hours or more - when I have my Izi the feeling that she sleeps 23 hours a day!). For an animal that originated in the desert, is such a behavior obviously.

As a cat that is programmed at any time can be expected that an emergency occurs, it must of course ensure that as many as possible to secure food sources. This is a behavior, which is deeply rooted in our cat is programs and is not aware expires. The cat decides not about 'Oh, my man so tomorrow could no longer come home, looking for safety's sake, I already have a replacement people, where I can retract. " No, Clear-goers as they go on wandering and exploring, where it is in their area of more food sources could give. For a tame house cat is not only an old barn in which it is the only way teeming mice, a potential food source, but also the friendly neighbor who is in a position to open a can.

The cat signaled with its flattering for us not behavioral appears that they are at home feeling unwell, but our quality tests as a food source. Is "man" to a feeding the cat and makes them perhaps into the house, has a second home pussy conquered. Not infrequently it happens that the cat will sometimes spend more time in their "second home" spends. These are the cases where it is called in reports: "Eventually, she was there, and after a few weeks, then recovered with me." That must not mean that the cat now for a home has decided. It aims cases of cats have given, which is a whole handful of owners and agencies feed assured, without something that one of the other knew. Mieze was then only by chance "caught".

In these almost anecdotal cases, it is always to extreme free-goers, the already little time in their ancestral home have spent. Most owners will have noticed if their cat rarely comes home. In the search for causes but they are quite helpless, because how can you find out where the tiger's office, if not by coincidence or evidence from the neighborhood?

It will be tragic if the cat due to changes in their home of origin decides to their "principal" for some time to relocate. While a cat with no alternatives in the form of alternative can opener and "second homes" has to deal with small disturbances in their normal environment must be addressed and that quite successfully doing, pulls a cat with "second home" perhaps prefer to. The causes can sometimes banal and for the people hardly evident in: redenominated furniture, a washed Cushions cuddling, other feed, a new litter, perhaps a new family member, other work and thus feeding times. Therefore, many owners are not actually on the reason for the disappearing of pussy, but perhaps fear, her former roommate would be dead on the roadside.

And the new "owner" logs, perhaps desperate to showcase out not because he thinks the cat would have it at home anyway had no good - and makes perhaps from the free-goers a house cat, so they do not back away.

With this article I would like to point out that we should necessarily refrain from, well fed and cared for cats appearing "anzufüttern" and even into the house to take. If in doubt you should begin in the neighborhood umhören, whom the cat may belong.

Is the cat very pushy and seems genuinely in need, then you should take it into the house and "cat-walk to" distribute posters. It should get pussy office arrest. The last station, the shelter, where you then - if you like - yes as a prospective diary can. Under certain circumstances you can also find shelter in the report and the cat kept at home. It is only important that the discovery of an animal must be reported, because the animal is still owned by someone who is. Only after a certain period can be assumed that the original owner has abandoned his property.

Another word to the conclusion: Clearly sick, injured, malnourished or significantly unkempt-looking animals as quickly as possible to the vet or shelter to be placed.
