Cats are one of the most popular among family pets, they are docile and cute and often become people's companions. However, we may be confused when we see them stepping on their hind legs. Why do kittens step on breasts? What are the reasons behind this behavior? How to help them overcome this behavior? Let's discuss it together below.
First of all, why do kittens step on breasts? There are complex reasons behind this behavior. From a biological point of view, kittens feel very lonely and vulnerable after birth and they need to find a way to soothe and soothe their emotions. Stepping on milk is actually a soothing behavior. When the kitten is still in the arms of the female cat, they need to gently bite the female cat's nipples with their teeth to suck the breasts. This process is very soothing and beloved. When it leaves its mother, it still needs to find a way to pursue the same feeling, and it will continue similar behaviors.
Secondly, stepping on breasts may also be related to the kitten's nervous system. When kittens are stepping on their hind legs, their brain levels increase, a hormone that makes people feel pleasant and euphoric. This means they are likely to be stepping on milk out of self-satisfaction needs. So, what should I do? Although it is a natural behavior for kittens to step on milk, if this behavior is excessive, some countermeasures need to be considered.
The following are some effective ways to help your cat reduce the behavior of stepping on breasts.
1. Provide a comfortable environment. One of the reasons why kittens love to step on breasts is that they need to find a comfortable and safe environment to relax. Therefore, providing a soft bed, music and a good atmosphere to soothe the kittens’s mood can help them reduce their breast treading behavior.
2. Take kittens out to play in the water regularly. Cats like water. When the weather is hot in summer, taking them to swim or play in the water regularly can also relieve their emotions and reduce the behavior of stepping on milk.
3. Punitive measures cannot be taken. Active measures should be taken to reduce the behavior of kittens stepping on breasts, and punitive measures should not be taken. Any ruthless method will aggravate the kitten's emotional fluctuations, and over time, it will also cause distrust.
To sum up, it is a natural behavior for kittens to step on milk. Many kittens may not be able to escape this behavior, but if you follow the advice above and use some scientific, friendly and effective methods to ensure their mood is relaxed and soothed, you will be able to successfully reduce the behavior of stomping on your breasts and let them live in harmony with your family.
