Parents with rich experience in raising cats know that cats can reflect their physical condition in different postures.
If the cat shoveler has sufficient experience, he can quickly discover its abnormalities from the cat's daily posture, so as to determine whether the hairy child is sick as soon as possible~
So today Mushroom Master will talk about the issue of cat's posture and health. I hope everyone will take a good look and make up for it if you are not clear! Now that summer is coming, there are more and more heat stroke, gastroenteritis, and infections. Friends should be more careful and always pay attention to the baby's physical condition.
First of all, the cat may feel uncomfortable in the following positions, so we need to pay more attention:
01
Bow dorsal posture
When the cat shows a sunken back and bends the spine into a arch, this may indicate that the cat is feeling pain or discomfort. This position is often associated with abdominal or back problems, such as back pain or indigestion. It doesn’t matter if it’s once or twice, but you should pay attention if it happens frequently. Occasionally, it is very likely to be frightened. This is a defensive posture of "welcoming the enemy"
02
Heading posture
When a cat picks up his head and uses his front legs to press it tightly near the head, it usually indicates that it is feeling uncomfortable or avoiding certain stimuli.
It may be due to a cat's head or ear problems, such as infection, wound or pain. For example, ear mites, etc., this may also cause head-shaking and other actions at the same time.
We need to regularly check whether there are any abnormalities in the cat's ears and head, and observe whether its behavior is normal.
03
Curging posture
When cats feel uncomfortable or painful, they tend to curl up and curl their bodies into a small ball. This position helps protect the cat's abdomen and sensitive areas and relieves physical discomfort. If the cat keeps this tight position frequently, it may mean that it is experiencing some kind of pain or discomfort and needs to be paid attention and consulted with a veterinarian.
In addition, in winter, it may be because of the cold, so pay attention to keeping your cat warm.
There are two other positions, and people often associate them with serious diseases such as cats' abdomen transmission, that is, [Heen Squat] and [Farmer's Squat]
Here, Mushroom Guru reminds you:
Not hen squats are all signs of cats' abdomen transmission
If a cat has hen squats, it may be caused by the following reasons:
Hen squats
1. The cat will squats when resting, and the cat will not feel listless at this time;
2. When the surrounding environment is low, the cat will squats with hens to keep warm;
3. When the cat's abdomen or stomach is discomfort, hen squats will occur, and symptoms such as listlessness and loss of appetite may occur, which may be a series of diseases such as gastroenteritis and cats' abdomen transmission. You need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination.
When farmers often move when they are happy and comfortable, they will also be divided into situations:
Farmers take
1. Most farmers take poses normally, and cats feel comfortable. Like hens, sometimes cats "hold their hands" to keep warm.
2. However, if you squint your eyes and keep the posture of the farmers, you may feel uncomfortable. You should observe its status more.
In addition, if your cat is like the following, it means that it is relaxing at this time and you can rub it more. It may not be angry. When the cat feels safe and satisfied, they may lie on the ground or on a soft surface, relax their limbs, lie flat and spread their bodies. This position shows the cats feeling relaxed and comfortable, and they let go of their guardian mindset and enjoy rest and sleep to the fullest.
Half-side lying posture
This posture feels that it is the most common position for my cats, and most of the older kids sleep like this.
This is also a state of relaxation, peace of mind and comfort in cats.
In this position, the cat lies on one side of the body on the ground, bends or straightens his feet, but maintains the tension in part of the body posture. This posture shows the cat's confidence and relaxation, and they may be ready to go into rest or activity at any time.
However, every cat has its own unique habits and preferences. Some cats may bow their backs and curl up when they are scared. As long as this posture is not long-term, there will be no big problem.
We understand and observe cats' daily behaviors and postures to better understand their emotions and needs, and adjust the environment and determine their health based on this~
