三種類型的 領土
根據貓咪的心態,我們發現領地分為三種類型:
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.
如果你在佈置房屋時考慮到以上不同的領土需求,貓咪會感覺非常舒適。
貓貓的領土或居住地的變化可能會給他們帶來很大的壓力。
他們與領地的關係
貓咪會與他們所居住的空間建立一種情感依戀,因此貓咪會對該地方進行標記,幫助他們自己定位,並向其他動物發送信息。
儘管對於你的眼睛和鼻子來說這些標記並不很明顯,但是你的房子肯定會充滿貓咪用來標記他們領域的氣味標記(他們通過下巴,頭部,身體的抹蹭而留下的痕跡)和視覺標記(例如爪痕)。
其他標記可能更明顯,例如用尿液標記。為防止這種情況,可以對貓咪進行絕育。面對任何變化,例如家庭中新成員的到來,通常貓咪都會反應為做出更多的標記。這通常會持續一小段時間,如果其他人或動物持續尊重貓咪的空間,那麼幾天後他們就會恢復正常。
