How to cultivate cats’ self-protection ability? Cats’ self-protection ability! Cats are smart animals. They have extremely strong self-protection ability. On weekdays, cats often do dangerous things or encounter attacks from some animals. When danger comes, they will immediately fly over the eaves and walk on the walls and climb trees to avoid danger. So how did they use this ability?
1. Climbing to a height
For cats, having a height advantage means that for any enemy who tries to catch them from below, they can grab it with their front paws and cause them to seriously injure them. Climbing to a high place is often one of the first choices for cats when they are in danger. They will stay on it until safe before they come down. Cats can jump from rest to heights many times higher than their height, and they can easily jump away from other animals and people, which no other animals and people can do.
2. Up a tree
In life, when attacked by some wild dogs or other wild animals, trees provide cats with an ideal place to escape. Cats have sharp hook-like claws that help them climb textured vertical planes, and most experienced cats find climbing trees easy. Inexperienced cats or kittens sometimes climb up trees when they flee in panic and then get trapped in trees because they have never learned how to get down. These cats do need rescue, otherwise they either die in a tree or fall down. The experienced cat sat on the tree and waited for danger before climbing down. Since they may have to wait on it for a long time, people often think that they are trapped in trees, which is not the case. As a result, when emergency rescue arrived, they quickly and easily descended from the trees.
Going a tree is a kind of self-defense ability for cats
So, why won’t cats be hurt after falling from a high place? This is related to the fact that cats have a developed balance system and a complete body protection mechanism. When the cat falls from the air, no matter at the beginning, even if the back is facing down and the legs are facing the sky, the cat can always turn around quickly during the fall process, and when approaching the ground, the forelimbs are ready to land. The thick fatty meat pad on the cat's toes can greatly reduce the vibration of the cat's body's backlash. It can effectively prevent vibration from damaging the organs. A cat's tail is also a balanced organ, just like the tail of an airplane, which can keep the body balanced. In addition, cats have developed limbs, short forelimbs and long hind limbs, which is conducive to jumping. Its motor nerves are developed, the body is soft, the muscles and ligaments are strong, and the balance is perfect. Therefore, although the gap is large when climbing and jumping, it will not fall to death due to loss of balance.
We often think about how good it would be if we could fly over the eaves and walk around the walls like the characters in martial arts movies. If a cat has this ability, will it make you look at it with admiration?
