Why do cats trample us?

The habits of the seals surprise and touch their owners. Many furry friends' habits are very difficult to interpret correctly. One of such examples is the moment when a cat jumps on its knees and starts to touch its paws.

Understanding why cats trample their owners with their front paws is very difficult, especially if a person is guided by various false explanations. In case of a misunderstanding of his needs, a cat may even experience stress, as a result of which the animal will become not only helpless, but also vulnerable. But you can also find such cats that do not tread on their legs at all. This happens in cases where the cat did not breastfeed for some reason, their babies were transferred to an artificial diet. For this reason, they no longer need to stomp a cat with its paws in the stomach.

In addition, they also do not trample with their front paws and those cats, which with the lambing were very few, respectively, there was enough milk for them. They also did not need to stimulate milk. Cats can trample not only a person, but also various objects that they like and do not pose a threat to them. These actions have nothing to do with the desire to get milk or to express their discontent, but, on the contrary, only with positive moments or even an expression of some love.

Various scientists observed animals for a long time and carried out various experiments. They identified several reasons for treading with the front, and not with the hind legs of objects or parts of the human body.

• Milky step. One of the earliest and most plausible versions means that almost all cats have such a habit in very early childhood. To get milk in the right amount, the kitten must press on the mother cat's belly. At this time, he feels calm and believes that he is safe, because the cat will be able to protect him in any case. Subsequently, the cats repeat this massage on a subconscious level, that is, they make it instinctively, even as adults. For this reason, pets try to climb up to their host on their knees or on the stomach and enjoy the light stroking of the paws. Sometimes you can hear how they purr with pleasure. At this time, they may even lose control of themselves and use not only their paws, but also their claws. However, do not immediately scream at the cat, gently patting it on the paws, it will immediately remove them back.

• Revealing love for his master. In the second version, the idea is put forward that a cat may feel towards a person who shows affection and care for her, the same feelings as to a cat-mother. Accordingly, the kitty behaves with him in the same way as with the mother. Cats can purr very loudly, massage not only the belly or legs of the beloved master, but also a blanket or rug that the person is sheltering. Most often this behavior is observed in those kittens that were taken very early from the cat or were brought from the street.

• Genetic subconscious. There is another interesting version that says that this behavior has been going on since a very long time ago. That is, since the time when the cats were wild animals, they had to make a place to sleep themselves. They trampled down the bed in one place, trampling on its forearms.In addition, there are many different poisonous insects or even snakes in nature that can climb to rest in bed with a cat. Therefore, when they came home from a hunt, they would surely tread on it with their own paws to make sure that there were no uninvited guests. It is for this reason that they trample down their masters or even a blanket, in order not only to please them, but also to get more comfortable and sleep in a prepared place.

• The boundaries of the territory. Some experts put forward such a version as an attempt to designate their territory in this way. They claim that certain sweat glands are located on the paw pads. During trampling, they emit sweat, which only the same animals can smell and mark their territory. On a man, cats also make their mark, as if warning their relatives that this man is already busy, and they will not allow anyone to touch him.

• Great mood. There is another version, which refers to the sensitivity of cats to mood swings in humans. This means that when he is in a bad mood or even depressed, an animal can help its owner cope with it. At this time, the cat is trying to come closer and cheer up its owner. She licks his hand or begins to massage. At this time, the cat begins to produce a lot of endorphins, hormones of joy. The animal itself receives pleasure from such a procedure, which means that it wants to share a wonderful mood with its owner.

• Stress relief. Very often you can see how the animal begins to knead a soft chair, sofa or bed, but at the same time it does not purr. This happens more in such cases when the cat was offended with something - they either didn’t let them sleep, or they shouted loudly, or they didn’t give a favorite treat. In this way, the animal tries to get rid of the accumulated stress. After that, it calmly goes to its owner in a good mood.

• Mating season. Trampling in many cats indicates the beginning of the mating season. This behavior can be both in cats and cats. If there is no animal of the opposite sex nearby, the cat switches its attention to its owner. In addition, she not only bangs her paws and meows loudly, but in some cases bites her hand. Do not immediately shout at your pet. If you can not immediately find a pair for your ward, you will need to suffer a little, distracting your furry friend.

If you believe the observations of ordinary people, many cats are very fond of not only purring, but also to tread down their owners. Some of them claim that they soothe and heal their masters. According to traditional healers, in this way cats can fully restore the energy balance to their owner.

Very often you can see how the cat falls on the sore spot of its owner and begins to touch its paws. Most often, he does it at bedtime. At the same time, he grunts and even bites a sore spot with his teeth, and sometimes he may even pick at his claws. Do not be afraid of this, because, in the opinion of the healers, this is a bit like acupuncture and has the same effect.

All people are completely different and one of them likes this procedure, while others do not. For those who like this massage, you just need to relax and have fun with your cat or cat. For those who do not like it, you need to keep a little bit of your emotions and not shout at your favorites. Moreover, you do not need to drive or beat them, because the animal came to its owner as the closest and dear person and wants first of all to share a good mood with him.

If the cat also releases its claws while stamping with its paws, they can simply be cut a little. However, this should be done very carefully and cut off quite a bit to two millimeters. If you can’t do it yourself, you need to contact a specialist. In addition, you can try to gently stroke the paws of the animal. As a result, the cat itself will hide its claws. If you do her stroking every time, then she eventually gets used and will not release them at all.

In addition, while the cat begins to release its claws, it must be shifted to the side, and it will also have to hide them. And it is also possible at the time of releasing claws something to distract her attention. It is worth noting that stamping with the paws of their master in any case brings both sides more pleasure than trouble.. And no matter for what reason does this pet. The main thing is that he shows his love. Therefore, a person should not be annoyed at his furry friend, much less shout at him.
