Cats carefully study the environment in which they live using their hearing, sight and smell.
When danger approaches, they try to take precautions to avoid it.
Experts have revealed several factors that can help you understand what causes fear in cats.
Fear of man
In normal circumstances, cats show interest in humans.
Fear of people can arise from bad communication experiences.
When they see a person they are afraid of, cats try to hide and sit in a secluded place.
In this case, the owner should handle the pet with care in order to minimize the causes of fear.
Other animals
Cats are afraid of dogs and other animals that are larger than them.
Most often, the reaction to meeting other animals is fear. Also, when they see danger, they begin to break away, hiss and scratch.
The pet warns of unwanted contact with sounds or marks.
In this case, you need to determine a place for the cat where it will feel safe.
Fear of water
Cats drink water even from a running tap, but are afraid to bathe.
The fluffies are not used to water, as they cannot perform the movements they are accustomed to.
The noise of running water or the smell of shampoo will increase your pet's fears, and when it sees water in the bathroom, it will try to run away and hide.
Pets should be accustomed to water gradually, without any attempt at punishment.
