At present, more and more animal rights activists are paying attention to and caring for stray cats and dogs, so more and more stray cats are being adopted as pets, but for stray cats, this is not something to be thankful for at first. This is because in the early stages of raising cats, there will be an adaptation period due to changes in the environment, and cats will be very unstable, anxious, and may have other problems. If owners ignore this, more serious injuries may occur.

1. Will cats feel stressed?

Normally, cats need a period of time to adapt when they are first brought home by their owners. For example, cats that don’t like to be too close to humans may get angry if you always hold them and play with them. You feel pressured by these intimate behaviors. Stressed cats are more likely to exhibit aggressive behaviors than ordinary cats and are also more susceptible to illness. However, if the adopted stray cats have lived in a human family before and they were recently abandoned, they may be able to adapt to the new owner's family life quickly.

2. About cat depression

Don’t think that cats won’t be depressed. Once cats become depressed, owners will also have a lot of headaches - they always ignore you, become less fond of eating, always appear in poor spirits, etc. In order to prevent cats from being troubled by depression, owners need to pay attention to the way they are raised in daily life, such as providing a relaxed and pleasant living environment for cats.

3. Understand the cat’s mentality

When owners feed stray cats that have just entered their homes, they may find that their food is not as gentle as cats that have been raised since childhood. Instead, they seem to eat as if the food will be taken away if they don't finish it immediately. In fact, many owners can understand this. Stray cats need to solve a big problem when they wander - food. Due to limited food and high density of cats in fixed areas, many stray cats simply cannot get enough food, so they will eat it as soon as they find food. However, if the owner feeds more and the cat does not control it, the cat will be more likely to suffer from gastrointestinal diseases, etc. Therefore, the owner must do a good job in the cat's diet.

4. They are also afraid of being abandoned

Anyone should think carefully before adopting a cat. If they cannot continue to raise the cat, the owners should also find a good home for the cat and do not let them become stray cats again, otherwise the cat may also develop some psychological problems.
