After seeing more cats, you will find that there are also great differences in personality between cats. Some cats are very close to people and are not afraid of strangers at all. Some cats are very timid and will hide or even attack people when they see them. So how should cats change if they are afraid of strangers?
This article will analyze several key factors that affect cat personality and introduce some cat selection techniques to maximize the possibility of having a cat.
In a 1995 study, McCune found that cats tend to be human-friendly if their fathers are human-friendly and are not afraid of strangers.
The results of this experiment have given us great inspiration. When choosing cats in the cat house, you can check the personality of the kitten's father. If the kitten's father is very close, the probability of having relatives when he grows up will be higher.
In addition, early sociology of cats refers to the process in which cats interact and become familiar with humans and other animals in their childhood.
Early socialization was very important for cats' personality development. The degree of friendship between cats to humans is also largely affected by early socialization (Earlysocialisation). The most sensitive period for socialization in cats is 2-7 weeks of age, but it may also last until 14 weeks of age. In the natural environment, kittens start playing the same litter of kittens around 12 weeks old; 12 weeks old; after 12 weeks old, the proportion of social games and object games gradually decreases, and after 4 months of age, the frequency and frequency of game behavior gradually decreases.
Some studies have shown that if cats are cared for by several different people during the sensitive period of socialization (especially 2-7 weeks old), then these cats will become more relatives and more afraid of strangers when they grow up.
If cats have not experienced social training during sensitive periods of socialization, it will be more difficult to make cats grow closer.
So, if the owner of the cat house is very loving and often interacts with the cat during the sensitive period of social interaction, the cat will not be afraid of strangers, so pay attention to this point.
