Cats are amazing creatures that differ from each other in behavior, habits, and characters.
Despite their differences, these animals are united by their dislike of rudeness and cruelty. Cats also do not like being stroked against their grain.
Few people know why such petting irritates pets. Let's look at the reasons in more detail.
Electrification of wool
When the owner strokes his pet against the grain, the fur may become electrified. For this reason, the cat may get an electric shock. Of course, this will not lead to a fatal outcome, but the animal will feel the strongest discomfort.
Discomfort
The cat likes to be stroked in the direction of hair growth. This can cause pleasant emotions in the animal.
The situation changes if the stroking is done in the opposite direction. Raising the hairs can cause unpleasant sensations on the skin. The reason for this is the abundance of nerve endings.
Now you know why you shouldn't run your hand through your cat's fur against its growth.
