Things that annoy your cat the most.

Table of Contents

A cat is a capricious creature, and it can be easily irritated by any trivial thing.

Have you ever thought about what your cat really thinks about what you’re doing? You’ve probably wondered. Unfortunately, cats aren’t thrilled about the multitude of actions their owners are accustomed to, and if fluffy ones could speak, they would ask people to never do these few things again.

Playing loud music.

The ears of our furry friends are extremely sensitive, so they can’t stand loud music and shouting, especially from children. Loud, abrupt sounds not only greatly annoy cats, but also cause them stress and anxiety.

Making sudden changes.

Cats value order and routine actions and dislike changes, even minor ones like rearranging furniture. They perceive significant changes, such as moving or the arrival of a new family member in the house, even more painfully. If changes in the home are inevitable, try to prepare your cat for them in advance.

Using strong-scented perfumes.

Just like their ears, cats’ noses are very sensitive, so intense aromas can cause irritation and nausea in them. Moreover, strong odors can disrupt a cat’s appetite. This doesn’t mean that if you have a cat, you need to completely give up perfumes, sprays, and other strongly scented items. However, if possible, it’s better to use them away from your feline companion.

Interrupting sleep and play.

Cats enjoy spending time playing and sleeping as much as they want. If you can’t play with your cat for a long time, it’s better not to initiate a game and wait for a more suitable moment. It’s also best not to disturb a kitten unnecessarily while it’s sleeping. It can scare and irritate them.

Playing with the tail.

Tails are an important part of a cat’s body. They help our furry friends navigate their surroundings, express emotions, and maintain balance. Therefore, when children or adults start playing with a cat’s tail, it causes irritation in the animal and is often perceived as a threat that needs to be defended against with teeth and claws.

Hugging tightly.

All cat owners occasionally feel the desire to hug and cuddle their companions. Unfortunately, most cats don’t enjoy this at all. They prefer to initiate interaction with humans on their own terms and feel very uncomfortable when forced to engage. If you want to hug your cat, wait for them to approach you voluntarily. Yes, it’s incredibly difficult. But by doing so, your relationship with your companion will greatly improve.
