What should I do if a cat is afraid of mice? What should I do if a pet cat is afraid of mice?

As the mainstream among pets, cats are often praised as independent, elegant and mysterious animals.

However, some cats make people feel abnormal, such as fear of mice.

Although people generally believe that "cats are afraid of mice" is abnormal, it is actually a kind of nature, and not all cats can be as brave and fearless as Tom. The origin of cats can be traced back to ancient Egypt thousands of years ago, when people put it together with mice in the hope that they could clear the troublesome mice.

However, cats are not natural professional mouse killers, their instinct for food is only out of their own survival needs.

Cats that survive in the wild mainly feed on small mammals, insects and birds, while pet cats that rely on humans to reproduce have lost a lot of their hunting instincts because their food rations have been guaranteed.

In addition, cats of different breeds also have their own unique nature and personality.

Recognized noble and elegant breeds such as Persian cats and Siamese cats have weak hunting instincts and are also afraid of free objects such as mice.

However, those mainstream domestic cats with flexible bodies, dark fur color and strong territorial awareness are still retained, but they may also "choose to use weapons", such as grabbing and chewing with their claws and biting with their teeth.

Although it is common for cats to be afraid of mice, this does not mean that your cat is completely unable to participate in family security work.

cat training may be a bit difficult, but the principle of "building habits" still applies.

First of all, you need a toy that can inspire hunting instinct, such as duck-feathered birds, mouse-shaped toys, etc.

You scatter the toys on the ground and let the cat observe, touch and attack.

If the cat is very excited, you can continue to train and use toys wrapped around small objects such as ropes and pompoons to guide the cat to chase the toys, and constantly stimulate the cat's animal instincts to make it more adaptable to mouse free objects.

In addition, scientific diet and healthy living habits will also have a positive impact on the physical quality of cats.

You need to provide cats with food rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals to ensure that they have enough energy and physical strength to run, jump, and climb so that their limbs can be trained and strengthened, and they will have the ability to catch and catch mice.

In short, it is not particularly strange for cats to be afraid of mice, but maintaining good communication with them, giving them enough attention, caress, and security, and cultivating their confidence and curiosity can gradually become brave, agile and witty.

Even if cats cannot be a professional mouse killer like the ancient Egyptians did when they paid homage to the gods, it doesn't matter how they act silently to serve us, but only the unique charm and temperament they exud.
