A vacuum cleaner is an integral part of everyday life. Such a machine not only removes dust but also saves energy and time.
Everything would be fine, but if a pussy lives at home, cleaning becomes a real headache. In this article, let's talk about why cats are so afraid of the vacuum cleaner and whether you can do something about it.
Often they are afraid of loud hissing, trying to escape from the room where the unit makes a noise, dilated pupils, scratching the owner and even biting. Why is this happening?
It's simple. Many models have high noise levels. Your beloved ones hearing is much sharper than that of a human being, so she perceives an unknown buzzing apparatus with a wire as a danger.
Also, its vibration scares them as much as it does. Cats have sensitive receptors on their pads. This makes them feel the approaching of various cataclysms. The noise machine generates enough vibration to scare the purple.
It is much easier to teach your pet not to be afraid than to switch to a broom and a rag. And the sooner it happens, the easier it will be for you and your pet. It is desirable that she was a kitten at all.
Way to get used to it
First, roll out the vacuum cleaner in the middle of the room and let her sniff it out.
After a few days, turn on the "ugly machine" at low power, place a bowl filled with delicious food next to it, and leave the pet behind, closing the door.
Sooner or later she will realize that there is no significant threat to her life, and get used to it. Increase the noise range as she adapts.
Do not switch on your pet's sleep techniques. Otherwise, suddenly you can not only be afraid but also get stress with serious consequences.
After a while, when you make sure your cat isn't uncomfortable, try to plug in and gently start vacuuming, moving as slowly and smoothly as possible.
Get a helper from your home to pick up the cat and gently stroke it and sit next to you.
Remember, the more often you clean up, the faster your pet will simply get bored to worry in vain.
