An orange cat named "Kimchi" has been adopted by the owner for many years, but it has never been "homey" enough. It seems that it has never regarded the owner's home as its own territory, but just a place to stay and have food. The poop manager also said she understood this, because when she adopted Pickle, a horn had been punched in its ear, indicating that it had been neutered before.

Before Kimchi was adopted, he was used to living with a group of local stray cats. Although he had been fed by humans, he did not show any special affection for humans. Even in the house of the shit collector, he could not hide out. The shit collector couldn't even touch it, so he could only sigh, leave a door for it to run out at any time, and let it go.

Nine years after he adopted the orange cat Kimchi, he encountered a little stray orange cat at the pet hospital. It was only five weeks old, thin and surrounded by fleas and parasites. The man immediately felt that he could not ignore it, so he took the little orange cat home.

Unlike the big orange cat Kimchi, this little guy is very grateful to the rescuer and is very clingy. However, his physical condition is a bit bad and his spirit is not very good.

Kimchi came back at this time and found that there was an extra little guy in the house. He came over and smelled the little one, and then kindly combed its hair.

Sometimes kittens not only need medicine and food, but also need the company of their mother cats to feel at ease. Although Pickle is not the little orange cat’s mother, she will get along with the little orange cat in the way that the cat is accustomed to, which can improve the little orange cat’s mood and be very helpful to its physical health.

Under the care of Kimchi, the wilted little orange cat who had gone to the emergency room once, gradually regained his energy, and his body swelled up visibly to the naked eye. At first, the poop scraper just wanted to help the little orange cat, but unexpectedly discovered that her pickle turned out to be a considerate and gentle big cat. Even under the influence of the little orange cat, Pickle, who had no relatives at first and could only see him only a few times a week, is now willing to stay on the shit shovel's sofa and cuddle up with him.

In the past, we kept cats just to catch mice. It didn’t need to be close to people, as long as it was willing to live in the home and contribute. Nowadays, most of us keep cats as pets. They need to be loved, sensible, and prefer to interact with people. Therefore, there will be people who specially select cats with good personalities to breed them into breed cats.

Relatively speaking, most of the pet cats purchased through regular channels have clingy personalities. As for stray cats adopted from outside, especially those that are “kidnapped” and are over 6 months old, if they are not relatives at the beginning, it will be more difficult to raise them right away. This is because the cat’s personality has basically been determined by 6 months.

Cats’ personalities are generally inherited from male cats, but their attitude towards people will be affected by the education of female cats. Children brought out by unloved female cats will also become wary of people. Many people choose kittens instead of adult cats in the hope of cultivating them to interact with people from an early age.

Cats’ basic personalities are difficult to change (for example, some are quiet and some are active), but their likes and dislikes of people and things mostly come from conditioned reflexes formed by their mother’s teachings and their own life experiences. If you want to change some of the cat’s living habits, you can try to help it establish new conditioned reflexes, or like the article, try to introduce a new cat into the home, change the living environment at home, and thus change the cat’s thoughts.
