Anything can happen in life. Of course, it will be ideal for every cat to meet its family at an early age and live with people all its life. But in fact, cats are often abandoned due to relocations, sudden allergies in newborn children, and for a thousand other reasons…
What does a cat feel if it is given to strangers?
And this, by the way, is not the worst scenario. Some people, without a shadow of regret, put animals out on the street and take them to some wilderness to get rid of them. And someone, feeling remorse, is still trying to find another family for the cat, with whom it has become impossible to live under one roof for one reason or another.
What will the cat feel if it is given to strangers?
1. Stress
For any cat, such global changes are stressful. The cat gets used to the owners and, having lost sight of them, does not understand what happened and how to react to it.
2. Fear
The cat will be afraid of strangers and a new home. Most likely, it will immediately try to hide and seek shelter (under the sofa, in a dark corner, in a closet, etc.)
3. Sadness
Cats remember their former owners and are sad. The same goes for the place where they lived before! It will take more than one month for the animal to get used to and trust the new owners and get used to unfamiliar housing.
However, if the people who decided to take the pet to themselves will be able to surround it with warmth, affection, and love, then the cat will soon reciprocate them. After all, living with those who can betray and abandon at any moment is not what an animal needs.
If you once decided to have a cat, then try not to give it to anyone. Love your animals and don’t leave them!
