Whether it is a leprechaun who loves to walk their own ways, or a lazy couch potato, they have one thing in common - the hunting instinct, which makes it more difficult for cats to sit still, also among plants.When letting your beloved purr into the garden, we must bear in mind that he will soon start hunting for birds that are nesting, and for fish that are floating in the pond.
When hunting, the cat acts instinctively. He climbs trees, falls in with unannounced visits to neighbors, digs up soil in pots and flower beds, marks the area, buries the droppings, rubs his claws, and when he gets tired, lounges in the sun. That's his nature.
If we want to protect tree trunks from cat's claws, cover them with a thick net to protect against scratching.It is also worth systematically mowing the grass, because the cat is most eager to take care of its physiological needs among tall blades.When however, we notice urine stains on the turf, pour water over them.
Cat's feet are very sensitive and rarely visit rocky places. It is worth remembering this and lining the manicured places in our garden with coarse gravel. Potted plants are loved by cats. They often make a lair or… a latrine in the containers. Pebbles will also be helpful here.However, if the cats still nibble leaves, flowers or shoots, let's think about sowing special grass for them.Picking barley, wheat or commercially available grass will only benefit our flies, because it will improve their digestion.
Away from birds
To protect the birds from catches, hang the birdhouse as high as possible.Special "spikes" (the ends of the spikes will not hurt the animal!) On the trunks are also helpful. Thanks to them, cats will be discouraged from climbing trees.Kot, we can also put on a collar with a bell, thanks to which it will be more difficult for him to sneak up on the birds unnoticed.
Remember - this is what cats are characterized by
- Cats are less social than dogs, but the presence of their owner makes them feel calmer and safer. In order for the purrs not to get bored too much, they should be provided with attractions appropriate to their temperament and time for fun.
- Climbing a tree is one of the favorite activities of every purr.Garden owners know very well that cat's claws can seriously damage the bark of trees and young trunks, so they make sure that a special scratching post is placed in the green asylum.
- Fish swimming in the pond are never safe with a cat lurking around the corner. Therefore, it is best to feed the fish by placing their food in the center of the tank. This way, they get used to swimming by the shore, and the cat will have no excuse to hunt.
- In order for the potted plants not to serve as a toilet or a couch for cats, it is worth putting pebbles that are very uncomfortable for cats' feet.The same should be done for flower beds and vegetable beds.
