How to cultivate cats’ self-protection abilities? Cats’ self-protection abilities! Cats are smart animals and they have extremely powerful self-protection abilities. In daily life, cats often do dangerous things or encounter dangerous situations. When attacked by some animals, when danger comes, they will immediately jump over walls and climb trees to avoid danger. So how do they develop this ability?

1. Climb to high places

For cats, having a height advantage means that they will be able to defeat any enemy who tries to catch them from below. It can be scratched with its front paws and severely injured. Climbing to higher ground is often one of cats' first options when in danger. They stay up there until it's safe to come down. Cats can jump from a standstill to heights many times their height, and they can jump away from other animals and people with ease that no other animal or person can do.

2. Climb a tree

In life, when attacked by some wild dogs or other wild beasts, trees provide ideal shelter for cats. A place to escape. Cats have sharp, hooked claws that help them climb textured vertical surfaces, and most experienced cats find climbing trees an easy task. Inexperienced cats or kittens sometimes climb up trees in a panic to escape danger and then become trapped in the tree because they have never learned how to get down. These cats really need to be rescued or they will either die in the tree or fall down. Experienced cats sit on the tree and wait for the danger to pass before climbing down. Because they may have to wait up there for a long time, people often think they are trapped in the tree, but this is not the case. As a result, when emergency help arrived, they came down from the tree quickly and easily.

Climbing up a tree is a cat’s self-defense ability

So, why doesn’t a cat get hurt after falling from a height? This is related to cats’ well-developed balance system and complete body protection mechanism. When a cat falls from the air, no matter whether it starts with its back down and its feet in the air, the cat can always turn around quickly during the fall, and when it approaches the ground, its forelimbs are ready for landing. The thick fat meat pads on a cat’s toes can greatly reduce the vibration of the ground against the recoil of the cat’s body. It can effectively prevent vibration from damaging various organs. The cat's tail is also a balance organ, just like the tail of an airplane, which can keep the body balanced. In addition, cats have well-developed limbs, with short forelimbs and long hind limbs, which are conducive to jumping. Its motor nerves are well developed, its body is soft, its muscles and ligaments are strong, and its balance ability is perfect. Therefore, despite a large gap when climbing and jumping, it will not fall to death due to loss of balance.
