"Cats or dogs?" Regarding this question, I think most people's answer may be "cats and dogs"! After all, most animal lovers don’t just like one animal.

Although having both a cat and a dog is a great joy in life, if you already have one pet at home, you must choose the second pet carefully, otherwise it may cause unpredictable harm to both pets. The following incident is the story of a pet owner who went from having both a cat and a dog, to being extremely happy and miserable, and finally finally being able to enjoy all the hardships.

Uncle Zhou’s cat Xiaoxing has been climbing on the tree for three days, and has climbed from the height of the first three floors to the top of the tree, which is almost the height of the fifth floor. The uncle ran to the fifth floor with a flashlight and could barely find the location of his kitten.

Why did this kitten, which had just arrived at the uncle's house less than a month ago, behave like this? This started three days ago.

Three days ago, the uncle took his dog Fengfeng for a walk outside. When he came back, he just entered the house. The dog saw the cat Xiaoxing on the living room floor and immediately rushed after the cat and roared loudly. The cat was frightened because the uncle just came in and before he could close the door, the cat ran out of the door.

The uncle quickly chased after him, but it was too late. Xiaoxing had already climbed to the pine tree downstairs in the community, and climbed higher and higher. No matter how much the uncle called its name, it refused to come down.

Fengfeng is the dog that the uncle has raised for three years, while Xiaoxing is the cat that the uncle recently adopted. The uncle has always liked small animals. The uncle's idea of ​​adopting Xiaoxing is very simple. Firstly, Xiaoxing can accompany Fengfeng, and secondly, having a cat can add more fun to the family. The uncle has long thought that one day he would be able to have both cats and dogs.

But what he didn't expect was that Fengfeng didn't like the cute kitten who suddenly came to the house. On the contrary, he often bullied and teased Xiaoxing. Maybe he felt that Xiaoxing's arrival had taken away the attention and concern of his uncle and his family, so he was jealous of Xiaoxing.

The cat Xiaoxing did not directly resist the dog's malicious behavior, but chose to endure it silently. It has just arrived in its new home and has not yet adapted to the unfamiliar environment. Coupled with the very unfriendly attitude of the dog Fengfeng, Xiaoxing has become more and more timid and cowardly. It will subconsciously hide when it sees Fengfeng.

The uncle and his family also discovered Fengfeng's repulsive attitude towards Xiaoxing at first, but they thought that as time went by, the relationship between the two little guys would naturally improve, and they did not specifically stop Fengfeng's behavior. Unexpectedly, this happened less than a month after Xiaoxing arrived at her new home.

After Xiaoxing climbed up the tree, the uncle was also very anxious, but his family advised him to wait for a while. Maybe Xiaoxing climbed down by himself, but three days have passed. Xiaoxing stayed on the big tree for three days without eating or drinking, and there was no sign of coming down. The uncle is worried that if he continues to wait like this, Xiaoxing may fall due to exhaustion from not eating for a long time, or may cause other health problems. There was no other way, so the uncle had no choice but to ask the firefighters for help.

However, due to the special terrain of the community where the uncle's home is located, there are densely packed towering trees between the buildings and on the edges of the buildings. The tree where Xiaoxing is located is surrounded by several large trees. The ladder fire truck cannot get close to the tree where Xiaoxing is located.

After exploring the location where Xiaoxing was trapped, the firefighters decided to build a support platform at the same height as the location where Xiaoxing was trapped, and used a net bag to catch the kitten.

Lay a safety net under the big tree. If the kitten accidentally falls, it will not be damaged due to the buffering effect of the safety net.

It took some time to build a ladder and appease the cat. Finally, on the night of the fifth day, Xiaoxing was safely rescued. Looking at the frightened Xiaoxing, the uncle felt very guilty.

Although Xiaoxing was safely rescued this time, if Fengfeng and Xiaoxing are still in this relationship mode, it will only be a matter of time before Xiaoxing runs away from home again. A way must be found to improve the bad relationship between the two little guys.

For this purpose, the uncle specially hired an animal behavior modification expert. Experts believe that among cats and dogs, the one with the problem is not Xiaoxing but Fengfeng. Xiaoxing is a very well-behaved cat. It is very docile to people and will not actively attack other animals.

On the contrary, dog Fengfeng’s behavior is a manifestation of insufficient socialization. It is very cautious and wary of strange people or animals, so it will behave like chasing and roaring at new little stars.

Therefore, it is necessary to cultivate the socialization of dog Fengfeng and let him know that strange objects are not so scary. Experts used an electric toy dog ​​to correct Fengfeng's behavior. Fengfeng showed obvious hostility towards the dog at first, barking at it.

Slowly Fengfeng began to observe the toy dog ​​carefully and carefully smelled it with his nose. At this time, the owner needs to give the dog certain rewards, such as stroking the dog's head, praising it with words or directly rewarding it with food.

Such repeated training is needed to allow the dog to turn its caution towards unfamiliar objects into good intentions. In the process, sociality will naturally arise.

Then, the experts asked the owner to build a new cat house for the cat Xiaoxing, so that Xiaoxing, who had previously been hiding around, could rest in a place that dogs could not touch. Because Fengfeng has always regarded Xiaoxing as a competitor and was hostile to it..

Obviously, the easily satisfied Xiaoxing is very satisfied with her new nest!

We now cache the toy dog ​​in the cat star, and give it some rewards when the owner gets along with the cat, such as feeding, playing with the cat, hugging and stroking the cat. When Fengfeng has seen the behavior of the owner and the cat but has no special reaction, we will give it some rewards. Gradually let the dog's wariness towards Xiaoxing turn into good intentions.

The master has only been training for an afternoon. So far, Fengfeng has not shown any aggression when Xiaoxing is present, and seems not to care about Xiaoxing at all. The reason why this happens is because when Fengfeng shows no concern or kindness towards Xiaoxing, he will be rewarded and praised by his master.

At present, although the two little guys are not friends yet, their relationship has become much more relaxed. From now on, we must continue to train Fengfeng until he and Xiaoxing can get along well with each other when they are alone in the same space.

Xiaoxing, who spent five whole days in the big tree, returned safely to the arms of his family with everyone's help. Fengfeng, who was previously hostile to Xiaoxing, has gradually begun to accept Xiaoxing. She hopes that Xiaoxing and Fengfeng can become true friends in the future and spend every day happily with their master!

Finally, Xiao Ai would like to remind all pet owners that if you already have a pet and want to get another one, no matter whether the two pets are of the same breed, you must consider the feelings of the two animals. They will not be able to accept a new stranger as quickly as you think.

Pets are sometimes like children, not wanting to share their owner's love with other children. At this time, the owner needs to emotionally guide the pet, but many owners do not have relevant professional knowledge and do not know how to do it. The worst result is to send the new one away again.

Therefore, before an owner decides to raise another pet, he or she must judge whether the pet can accept another "new friend" based on its personality. This can be seen from the pet's usual behavior. If they do not like to share the owner's favor with other animals, then it is best to only keep one pet!
