Many people have a cat in their house, which they call their favorite. Each murka has its own fascinating story. You wonder if this can be? A cat is the owner of a character inherent only to her!
Most often, we want to have a beautiful kitten with an easygoing character, with whom you can safely leave small children, while not taking into account the mental abilities of the pet. This is completely in vain, since his character is not easy, you have to come to terms with habits that change with age. It happens that a kitten is playful and agile, but, having matured, turns into a real lazy person who constantly wants to eat and sleep. Why do most cats prefer to sleep most of the day, why does everyone consider these animals to be lazy?
The laziest cat in the world
First, let's talk about the record holder of the cat world, which broke all records for laziness and drowsiness. The most famous was the cat Shironeko, which in translation into Russian means "white cat". Fame brought him the owner, posting on his blog his photos.
Shironeko lives in Japan, where he is widely known as the laziest cat in the whole world. No one has done any research, but Shironeko's relaxation is very expressive, aesthetically pleasing and fun. No matter where this interesting animal is, it sleeps everywhere! Looking at unique photographs, one wonders: what would this cat do if he were in danger? Only one answer begs right away - I continued to sleep!
I can’t even believe that cats are lazy to such an extent. But, looking at the photos of Shironeko, you begin to understand - this is possible. After all, this cat does not care what they think about him. He even eats and drinks water, without rising from his berth. It might seem like some kind of joke, but Shironeko is really the laziest cat in the whole world! Or is he just a big fan of sleeping?
Cats are lazy after sterilization: true or confusing?
After sterilization, cats become balanced, calm, without aggression. The rest remain as they were before the operation - playful. If they start having problems with overweight, then the food was not balanced and the fault lay with the owner. Sterilized animals should be fed specialized feeds and, at the same time, increase their physical activity. Currently, you can buy toys-feeders, which will cause vigorous action even in the most lazy little purps.
Some owners attribute the passivity, weak-willed nature and laziness of cats to sterilization. They are very mistaken. The explanation is simple: a sterilized cat does not seek to wake all the cats in the area during estrus, and the cat does not run “on calls” over long distances.
Why are overweight cats lazy?
Fat lazy cats cause smiles on people's faces, but for the cocks themselves this condition is life threatening. As a result of obesity, animals have big health problems. They breathe heavily, cannot endure physical exertion, they try to avoid any movements. Especially they feel bad in the heat, then cats prefer to lie quietly, choosing a cool place.
The owner calls this behavior of his cat laziness, explaining that his small animal is very fat. Lazy cats are a delusion. This condition (laziness) occurs due to an improperly prepared diet. To make a cat active again, you need to reduce the calorie content of food and remove foods that are in excess carbohydrates.
Temperament or laziness
Cats are different. Some are always on the move, others can sleep all day, settling in a secluded place. This does not mean that cats are lazy. The explanation for this behavior is character.
Temperament is the basis of the cat’s character. His knowledge will help the owner correctly understand the behavior of the animal and raise his pet normally. For example, a phlegmatic cat can lie for days on end, watching indifferently. She is slow, calm, it is very difficult to make her angry. It can sleep for days. It turns out that such cats are lazy? No, they just have such a temperament, you can't call it laziness .
Why are old cats considered lazy?
Cats are big lovers of sleep, they spend almost 2/3 of their lives in this state. The duration of sleep is proportional to the age of the animals: the older it is, the more time it gives to sleep. This definition can be considered the answer to the question of why cats are lazy in their "golden years", and they come at them in 12-14 years.
When the cat grows old, the first signs of this condition is gray hair, the hearing loses its sharpness. In the morning she sleeps for a long time, then just rolls around at her favorite resting place, which is considered normal for old animals. You can say for sure that the cat is not lazy, she is just an “old woman”.
During this period of life, one cannot punish her, on the contrary, she must be protected from various inconveniences. Do not arrange its permanent place in the draft, protect from unnecessary stress, put the toilet tray in an accessible place. If it becomes known that the cat begins to see poorly, especially at dusk, you should leave the nightlight on for it.
Interesting facts from the life of cats
Cats love to sleep on paper. They consider her the most comfortable and soft bed. So, choosing a place for your pet, you need to pay attention to her taste.
