Release Date: 2023.10.21

Hello, do you sniff cats today? Welcome to the Cat Lady Channel! I am the host, Kerry.

Today I want to share with you my new series of videos "Catlovers Watch Videos". Let’s watch videos to learn about cats!


This time I want to introduce an animation that has been very popular recently, "The Masterful Cat Is Depressed Again Today".

The main character is a cat named Yukichi. Because his owner lacks living ability, Yukichi gradually grows into a big cat. He can do laundry, clean, cook, shop, and deal with the neighbours, making him a perfect masterful cat! It also makes many catlovers envious and says, "I also want to pick up an excellent housekeeper cat like Yukichi! ".

​

Therefore, I plan to share with you my perspective on cat behaviour. If you meet a cat outside or just plan to adopt a cat, you can observe whether the cat meets these 4 conditions. The more conditions are met, the more likely this cat is to be an excellent cat! If you find him, don’t miss this treasure cat!

​

Thus, the main content today is to discuss what are the 4 conditions. You can tell how a cat might be an excellent housekeeper cat, including: 1. What do cats want? 2. The cat’s temperament and growing environment; 3. Socialization and habituation; 4. review, including some parts that I would like to remind you of.




According to International Cat Care, the "feral cats" we see in the wild, the "street cats" we see on the road and the "pet cats" living at home are all of the same species called "domestic cats", but we can obviously know that their lifestyles are completely different.


For example, most feral cats live in uninhabited areas, street cats live in some inhabited areas, and pet cats live in highly inhabited areas with humans. This also causes different cats to react differently to humans, including whether cats actively want to have contact with humans. Do cats want to live with someone? When cats interact with people, they are mostly happy, scary, or painful. Theoretically, we hope that the cat’s lifestyle and living circle will accept humans, and the interaction process will be happy.


So, Let’s take a look at Yukichi‘s lifestyle!




Yukichi was a street cat living in the park at first, and only some area was inhabited. Why did Yukichi finally have the opportunity to become an excellent housekeeper cat? Let's see if Yukichi meets the next second condition.




The second condition is to consider a cat’s temperament and growing environment.


Every cat is an individual with a different temperament. Some cats are timid and nervous by nature, while others are lively and outgoing, which is mainly determined by their parents’ genes and their growing environment. It means that if the cat's father and mother are both friendly cats, the next generation will also be likely to be friendly cats.


On the other hand, the growing environment will also affect whether the cat’s reaction to humans is mostly positive or negative.


If kittens are just 2-8 weeks old, cats at this time are most willing to learn about their surrounding environment and other species. Therefore, it is also called the "sensitive period", which helps to cultivate a positive attitude toward living with people and adapting to the home environment. In addition, adult cats basically have certain impressions of humans. If the cat has never seen a human in his life, humans may be a huge threat to the cat. It is difficult for the cat to be completely relaxed when he lives with people.


So, what is Yukichi 's temperament and growing environment like?

​




In the beginning, Yukichi was a street cat living in the park and met his owner. Yukichi actively chose to get close to the human, even licked her hand, and was willing to be touched on the head and held in her arms. Therefore, Yukichi is a cat that tends to be friendly to humans. More importantly, Yukichi is in the kitten stage at this time, which is the most suitable for training cats to live with people, adapt to the home environment, and establish a good foundation for becoming an excellent housekeeper cat in the future!




The third condition is that the cat needs to have socialization, that is, the ability to interact with family members and respond to visitors.


Feral cats and street cats get along with people, which may be hostile, strange or difficult to adapt to. We can imagine that a pet cat may be used to living with the owner, other people, cats, and even dogs at home since he was a kitten. He will be very adaptable to people.


So, what is the socialization situation of Yukichi?




We can find that Yukichi 's socialization ability is very excellent. Yukichi can actively interact with his owner, and help her brush her teeth. Yukichi is also willing to communicate with visitors and celebrate their birthdays together. In addition, Yukichi will also take care of strange kittens. Within a certain scope, Yukichi also accepts the dogs. This means that Yukichi can interact with many people, cats, and dogs, and his public relations skills are very outstanding!




On the other hand, cats also need to have habituation, that is, the ability to adapt to the home environment.

After a cat becomes a housekeeper cat, the cat's living area will be largely limited to the home, and the home living environment will be filled with many items that stimulate the cat's senses, such as vacuum cleaners and other electrical appliances. If the cat cannot adapt to these stimuli and cannot escape, he will easily feel painful. On the contrary, if the cat is well adapted to the home environment, he will be a cat that is very suitable for home life.

So, how is Yukichi’s habituation going?




We can find that Yukichi's habituation ability is very excellent! Yukichi can accept the sound of cleaning, the operation of the washing machine, and even enjoy driving in the car. He also enjoys the lively fireworks with his owner. Yukichi is very adaptable to the home environment. He does housework very well to be an excellent housekeeper cat!




Finally, in the summary part, let’s review Find “The Masterful Cat” for 4 conditions!


The first condition is “What do cats want?”

In cats’ lifestyles, most feral cats live in uninhabited areas, street cats live in some inhabited areas, and pet cats live closely with humans. This causes different cats to react differently to people, including whether cats actively want to have contact with people. Are cats mostly happy when interacting with people?

Yukichi was a street cat living in the park at the beginning, and only in some inhabited areas. Yukichi only just passed the first condition.


Therefore, the next thing to look at is the cat’s temperament and growing environment.

Most feral cats have lived in the wild since birth and therefore may feel highly threatened by people. Many street cats have lived outside since birth and often appear in cities, villages, and places with people. Therefore, they may feel partially threatened and partially friendly towards people. Pet cats live with people as companions and may be highly friendly to people.

Yukichi, on the other hand, is a very friendly cat. He chooses to get close to humans and accept being adopted home. In addition, at this time, Yukichi was in the kitten period, which is most suitable for training living with people and adapting to the home environment.


The third condition is socialization and habituation, which means cats need to have the ability to interact with people at home, even other cats and dogs, and the ability to adapt to the home environment.

Most feral cats and street cats have no experience of family life and may feel very painful at home. In theory, pet cats are very adaptable to home life. Yukichi can interact with many people, cats, and dogs and is good at housework, so he is very adaptable to home life.


The final fourth condition is that each cat is an individual. Before adopting a cat, you need to evaluate whether you can provide for the cat's living needs. If the cat has difficulty adapting to home life, we can also seek veterinarians, cat behaviour consultants and related professional assistance.


Hope everyone can find a suitable cat!
