Curiosity is a main behavior in a cat. Chewing on things, especially what they are not supposed to be chewing on it is fun and exciting for them, not for you though. The love to climb and explore is another habit that is hard to discipline. Jumping on kitchen counters it is simply not safe for your curious little cat, not to mention that it is entirely unsanitary.
So, what can you do to calm your cat down?? Well, it depends. You must teach them what is allowed and what is not. Be patient because they won’t learn from one day to another. Reward them occasionally if they had a good day. Give them treats, new toys, or new accessories that they can enjoy exploring instead of your household items. Be creative and open to new ideas that might just be the right one for your cat.
I recently told my father about a stroll in the park I took with my cat Diva in her new pink pet stroller and his reaction was somewhat surprising. He wanted to know if I had recently suffered some head trauma that was affecting my mental abilities. In short he thought I was crazy.
To understand his reaction you first need to know something about my father.
My father lives in Hungary on a small farm and loves animals. He has had both dogs and cats all his life, but because he lives in the countryside he has never had to worry about the dangers faced by pets living in a large metropolitan city. His pets have always been able to roam freely without fear of getting hit by a vehicle. Unfortunately that isn’t the case for Diva and I.
I live near a busy intersection within a large metropolitan city. Cars, trucks and buses are a constant presents in my life and I wouldn’t know what to do if something ever happened to Diva while we were out and about.
So while my father may think I’m crazy, I think I’m perfectly sane. My investment in a cat stroller has reduced the stress in my life and we all know that stress can make you a little crazy sometimes.
I was recently stopped by a neighbor while out for a walk with my pet stroller and congratulated on the new addition to my family. I was thankful for the attention, but when she then said she didn’t even realize I had been pregnant I couldn’t help but smile especially when the next sound we both heard was a loud meow coming from the stroller.
As my precious Diva meowed my only thought was where is my camera when I need it most because the expression on my neighbors face was priceless.
This wasn’t the first time that someone had approached me while I was out and about with my pink pet stroller, but it certainly was the strangest reaction I had ever encountered and made me wonder if anyone else who has a pet stroller has ever been approached in a similar manner.
I would love to hear from fellow pet stroller owners about your very own Kodak Moment and if you have any pictures to share I would love to see them.
