5. Special reminder from professional veterinarians
1. Sudden changes in sleeping habits require investigation of health problems (such as arthritis leading to reluctance to go into deep sleep)
2. It is recommended for kittens to use a bionic nest with heartbeat sound during the adaptation period.
3. Households with multiple cats must ensure N+1 resting spots (N is the number of cats)
By analyzing hotspot data across the entire network, it can be seen that cats’ refusal to sleep in the cat’s nest is not only a behavioral problem, but also reflects the need for environmental adaptation. It is recommended that shit shoveling officers combine the personality characteristics of their masters and use patience + scientific methods to guide them step by step. Remember, sometimes the best cat nest may be your express carton!
