One problem that many cat families often face is that cat relationships are not harmonious. First of all, it is normal for cats to have this problem, because cats are animals with strong territorial awareness. Most cats living outdoors form groups based on blood ties, and the group is also very loose. Everyone just gathers in a large area and hunts alone, but they will lick each other's hair, and the female cats may help each other see the child, etc. For cats who are not in the same group, unless they are in estrus, everyone will try to avoid meeting each other and avoid entering the territory of the other party. If a cat suddenly appears in the other party's core territory, the owner of the territory will launch an attack to drive away the invaders.
When the cat lives indoors, the area of the home is already a smaller version as a cat's territory. At this time, a strange cat who had never been in contact with and had no blood relationship suddenly landed onto the territory, and everyone was facing each other at a very close distance. This was not something they could accept for the two cats, and it was in line with their social habits. Therefore, it is normal to have conflicts. If two cats hit it off at first sight, it is a rare situation to be surprised!
Many owners put their cats in the same space without knowing these. Some cats are highly accepting of their kind and have a gentle temperament. After a period of time, they can eventually live in harmony. But there are also a considerable number of cats, even if they are not fighting continuously, they still continue to have conflicts. Sometimes this conflict will suddenly escalate, causing one party to be scratched and bitten, or the two cats to suddenly be unable to meet.
The best solution to this problem is of course to make behavioral adjustments. If your new cat has not entered the home yet, it is best to gradually let the new cat know and contact the native cats in the correct way to introduce the cats. Some owners said, I have been quarantining the new cat for two weeks, and I will still be in a fight if I release it. Why is this? Gradually introducing the process of the other party's understanding is not that simple. If you just quarantine for a period of time and then release it directly, many cats will still not accept it. There are many steps and details here.
If you have cat relationship problems or are preparing to introduce a new cat, you can consult customer service related courses. What we want to talk about today is a product that serves as a behavioral aid, that is, a product that can be used in the adjustment of cat relationships to further reduce stress between cats. The Feliway Friends version uses pheromones that play a soothing role in the cat's face as the main component, which releases it into the entire environment, allowing the cat to react friendly to another strange cat, to reduce the auxiliary effect of cat fighting.
Because this is a sustained-release agent, it needs to be continuously inserted to maintain the required concentration. At the same time, whether it is a training or an auxiliary product, it takes a period of accumulation to produce effects. A sustained-release agent can achieve ideal results in the range of 50 to 70 square meters. If the entire space is larger, the number of sustained-release agents needs to be increased. You can use it for a month first. If it can reduce the frequency of cat fights, you can continue to use it for a month or even longer if necessary. If you observe that the cat is more anxious, stop first and confirm whether it is caused by using Feliway.
Some owners also said, I have used sustained-release agents, why are the cats still fighting? First of all, animals have individual differences, so the effect of the product will be different for each specific animal. In addition, this is just a behavioral auxiliary product. That is to say, if behavioral adjustment methods are not used to change cat cognition and behavior at the same time, it is more difficult to rely solely on products to solve the problem. But on the other hand, in the process of behavior adjustment, using auxiliary products can speed up the process of behavior improvement, which is of great help.
If your cat has other behavioral problems, such as urination, timidity, aggression, excessive hair licking, etc., if these behavioral problems are not caused by cat relationships, you can use Feliway classic models as auxiliary products. Of course, behavioral adjustments to specific problems must also be carried out at the same time. For behavioral adjustment, please consult customer service and fill out the corresponding questionnaire to help us better evaluate the course plan.
