Did you know that catnip can be a huge asset to modifying your cat’s behavior? Most cat owners see catnip as just a nice treat or something that cat toys contain to keep them occupied. They then end up overusing catnip and eventually cats become immune to the effects.
What Makes Catnip So Powerful?
Catnip is made up of a volatile oil that is responsible for creating that ‘catnip effect’. The feeling that cats get is the same as an aphrodisiac. It is also very safe for cats and is not addictive at all. Catnip is actually a hallucinogen that minimizes a cat’s inhibition. It creates a feeling of euphoria that can last about fifteen minutes.
When a cat has diabetes this means that he has an unusually high concentration of sugar that runs through his blood and urine. Diabetes is essentially a loss of the control of how much sugar is in the blood. This disease can be just as dangerous for cats as it is for humans.
Your cat may have one of the two types of diabetes that exist. The first type is called insulin-dependent diabetes. This is when the pancreas has failed to produce enough insulin to regulate the body’s blood sugar levels. The second form of diabetes happens when the body is not responding properly to the insulin that is produced by the pancreas.
You should never hit or smack your cat! And never give your cat the idea that discipline is coming directly from you. That may sound like a strange request but it is quite fitting, especially since your goal is to create a strong bond with your little feline friend.
If your cat relates discipline, anger, and pain with you, then all you will do is create fear in your cat’s mind anytime you approach him. In other words, disciplining your cat should be done in a way so that he directly relates the action with whatever is he was doing “wrong” - not you.
