I wish I wasn't allergic to cats because I love them so much
Maybe not the concept of them knocking stuff off of shelves for the hell of it necessarily, but everything else makes up for it
that's one of those things that a well-cared for cat doesn't actually do, they knock stuff down and do other mischeif because they're bored.
Cats, even well-cared-for cats, often will do things for no knowable reason, even to the cat themselves.
We've all seen it: cat is industriously licking their crotch, leg in the air; cat pauses, leg still in the air, head slightly raised, tongue out, vacant somewhat cross-eyed stare; cat is bouncing all over the house at the speed of sound, chasing invisible interdimensional gremlins.
I can explain almost all of those behaviors.
When cats leave their legs up like that is because they got distracted and wanted to resume what they were doing, which they usually do. Remember they hear way better than you and can be focusing on something far away, so watch their eyes and ears. Sometimes they're watching whoever is watching them from the corner of their eye. Were you staring? They notice and don't like direct attention like that.
And cats often get a surge of energy at certain times of day that's linked to their circadian rhythm and/or hormones. It's not unlike people who suddenly get an urge to go on a walk in the afternoon or want to do a social activity with friends.
They're really not that mysterious. Lol
Cats do insane shit all of the time, it's hilarious
I'll keep that in mind, thanks! With another person suggesting the allergen reducing food (which I immediately bought, so wish me luck) and all the other advice I might end up keeping her
Pro tip there is food called live clear or something you feed it to a cat for thirty says and they stop producing the enzyme that causes allergies. Life changing for my house.
Never heard of this before. That's amazing!
Purina live clear. Truly amazing
Wow, that's crazy. I actually just happened into getting a cat (and her kittens) from my friends so I'll definitely check this out!
While your always be allergic to cats, you can desensitize enough you your own cat that you're effectively not allergic to it.
I'm full blown went to the hospital with a jelly eyeball because a cat hair got in it type allergic, with asthma to boot, and have a cat. Took months to get acclimated though.
Thats great! Do u still get symtomps?
Not at all, I went from hard to breath red itchy eyes and nose by being in the same room to being able to smother my nose into his adorable fur without a blink. It took about 20 days to start feeling relief and now it's been about 5mo and it's the best
You can feed it Purina liveclear and it will change your life.
In my experience they do it for attention. My cats don't give a shit about things on most surfaces unless they know I'm watching, and even then it's uncommon for them to knock things off.
