三种类型的 领土
根据猫咪的心态,我们发现领地分为三种类型:
FIELD OF
ISOLATION
This is where your cat feels safest and most comfortable. For this reason, they dedicate this area to rest and withdrawing for some quiet time. It is also convenient for them to have a spot within this space to retreat, to which people and other animals have no access.
FIELD OF
ACTIVITY
These are places in the house that your cat dedicates to playing, hunting and sharing with people and other animals. It should be in this space that you locate differentiated areas for their toilet, their food and their water.
FIELD OF
AGRESSION
This is the extension of the territory that the cat defends, although they do not spend the majority of their time there. For example, it could be your garden, your terrace or surrounding areas.
如果你在布置房屋时考虑到以上不同的领土需求,猫咪会感觉非常舒适。
猫猫的领土或居住地的变化可能会给他们带来很大的压力。
他们与领地的关系
猫咪会与他们所居住的空间建立一种情感依恋,因此猫咪会对该地方进行标记,帮助他们自己定位,并向其他动物发送信息。
尽管对于你的眼睛和鼻子来说这些标记并不很明显,但是你的房子肯定会充满猫咪用来标记他们领域的气味标记(他们通过下巴,头部,身体的抹蹭而留下的痕迹)和视觉标记(例如爪痕)。
其他标记可能更明显,例如用尿液标记。为防止这种情况,可以对猫咪进行绝育。面对任何变化,例如家庭中新成员的到来,通常猫咪都会反应为做出更多的标记。这通常会持续一小段时间,如果其他人或动物持续尊重猫咪的空间,那么几天后他们就会恢复正常。
