Although cats are known for being reserved and distant, their owners know that this is not true.

雖然貓咪以矜持和疏遠著稱，但牠們的主人都知道那並非事實。

Even with a more independent profile, felines always find ways to express their affection for their humans,

即使擁有更獨立的形象，貓科動物總能找到方法來表達牠們對主人的愛意，

whether it be asking for cuddles, hugs, or simply following them around the house.

無論是要求摟抱、擁抱，或是簡單地在屋內四處為隨他們。

And, like any creature, cats can also feel hurt by some of our behaviors.

而就像任何生物一樣，貓咪也會因為我們的一些行為而感到受傷。

So, check out the list below with 6 practices that can hurt the feelings of your furry companion.

那麼，請看看下方的清單，看看可能會傷到貓咪感情的 6 種行為。

1. Not Cleaning the Litter Box

1. 不清理貓砂盆

Cats are very clean animals and they hate doing their business in a dirty place.

貓咪是非常乾淨的動物，牠們討厭在骯髒的地方排泄。

Although many litter brands, wood pellets, or silica promise to avoid strong odors for several days,

儘管許多貓砂品牌、木質托盤或硅石都承諾可以連續數日避免強烈氣味，

it is important to clean the feces daily for the cat's comfort and to prevent it from choosing another place in the house as a bathroom.

為了貓咪的舒適感並防止牠選擇房子另一個角落當廁所用，每天清理排泄物是很重要的。

After all, who would like to use a bathroom that hasn't been cleaned for a week?

畢竟，誰會喜歡用一間一週沒有打掃的廁所呢？

2. Making Loud Noises

2. 發出巨響

If screams and noise can be unpleasant for the ears of many humans, for cats, it's even worse.

如果尖叫聲和噪音對許多人來說是不悅耳的，那麼對貓咪來說，那會更糟。

Due to their highly sharpened hearing, they can experience a condition called "acoustic stress", caused by excessive noise in the environment.

因為牠們的聽力高度敏銳，牠們可能會經歷一種稱為「聽覺壓力」的症狀，由環境中過多的噪音引起。

So, talking loudly or listening to music loudly can hurt your cat, making it feel that you do not respect its sensitivities.

所以說，大聲說話或聆聽音樂都可能傷害你的貓咪，讓牠覺得你不尊重牠的敏感度。

Of course, we can't always avoid these noisy situations,

當然了，我們不可能永遠避免嘈雜的情況，

so a tip is to leave your cat in a quieter and isolated environment to avoid stressing him until the agitation passes and it can return to its routine.

所以一個建議是讓貓咪待在一個更安靜且隔離的環境中，避免施加壓力，直到躁動消失、牠可以回到常規之中。

3. Leaving Old Food

3. 保留剩飯

One of the most common mistakes made by cat owners is leaving food in the bowl for too long, especially when it comes to dry food.

貓主人最常犯的錯誤之一就是把食物留在碗裡太久，尤其是乾糧。

Although it may seem harmless, this can activate the cat's ancestral instinct to avoid spoiled meat that can cause diseases.

雖然它看似無害，但這可能激發貓咪的天性，避開可能導致疾病、壞掉的肉食。

To avoid irritated meows for better food rights, it is important to establish meal times for your cat and put only what it can eat in the bowl.

為了避免喵星人為獲得更好的食物權而抗議，給予牠們固定的進餐時間並指在碗中放入能吃的量很重要。

If this is hard to follow due to your routine, you can try mixing the dry grains with fresh ones again in the food bag and hope your cat doesn't notice.

如果因為你日程使得這難以遵循，你可以嘗試將乾糧與新鮮的食物拌在一起，並希望你的貓咪不會注意到。

Remember that the instinct to avoid bad food also applies to water, so don't forget to clean and replenish the water container regularly to keep it hydrated.

要記得，避開不良食物的本能也適用於水，所以不要忘記定期清潔和補充水容器，以讓貓咪隨時補充水分。

4. Provocations Actions

4. 挑釁行為

Such as pulling the tail, messing with the fur, or picking up a cat without consent can be seen as hostile and confusing to the animal, causing agitation and making it feel that its safety is threatened.

諸如扯尾巴、弄亂毛髮或未經同意抱起貓咪等動作，對貓咪而言都會具敵意並使牠困惑，造成牠的煩躁並使其感到安全受到威脅。

It is important to avoid these "play" to transmit confidence and security to your cat, avoiding it to avoid contact with humans or try to run away from home due to these inappropriate behaviors.

謹記要避免這些「玩弄」以向貓咪傳遞信心和安全感，避免由於這些不適當舉動讓他逃避與人類接觸或試圖離家出走。

5. Moving Them Out of The Way

5. 把牠們移開

It's important to remember that cats are curious animals and always willing to help their owners in various tasks.

重要的是要記得貓咪是好奇的動物，總會願意在各種任務中幫助主人。

However, in some situations, it is necessary to move them away for their own safety.

然而在某些情況下，為了牠們的安全是有必要將牠們移開的。

This doesn't mean that they can't be hurt by this action.

這並不表示牠們不會被這種行為傷害。

To avoid hurting them, it's important to give the animal a moment to engage in the situation, give a pet, and gently redirect them to a more suitable place.

為了避免傷害牠們，很重要的是給予牠們習慣的時間、輕拍一下，並溫柔地將牠們導向更合適的地方。

6. Neglect and Long Periods of Absence

6. 忽視和長期缺席

Cats are animals that need attention and interaction with their owners, even though they have an independent personality.

貓咪是需要關注並與主人有互動的動物，儘管牠們的個性獨立。

The lack of contact, playtime, and prolonged periods of absence can leave cats sad and depressed.

缺乏接觸、玩耍時間以及長時間的缺席都會讓貓咪傷心和鬱悶。

Therefore, it is important to set aside some time to spend quality time with your cat, even if you have a busy schedule.

因此，留點時間與貓咪共度高質量時光是很重要的，即便你的日程可能很繁忙。

This will help strengthen the bond between you, and keep your cat happy and healthy.

這將有助強化你們之間的聯繫，讓你的貓咪保持快樂和健康。

These are the 6 practices that emotionally harm your cat.

以上是 6 件可能傷害貓咪情感的事情。
