Today, an increasing number of families are raising pets, of which dogs and cats are two common animals that every family will consider.
For families with cats, many owners face the same problem: how to deal with certain sounds that greatly affect cats. In conjunction with a recentquestionnaire, experts have started to study this phenomenon.
This study explains why cats react to certainsounds. The sounds can be distinguished among different types, which ultimately serve as signs of suffering. Of these varying types of conditions, most people think that their cats are suffering from generalized tonic-chronic seizures,which cause cats to lose sensation for up to several minutes per incident.
The professors who took part in this study illustrate that extraction is the main reason that causes cats to react toward specific noises. The only thing cats can do to avoid the sounds is if they have no auditory sense, which is impossible.
Owners say that it is difficult to completely let cats hear such sounds, and that the volume of the sound is also a factor that increases their cats’ suffering.
There are many types of sounds that may negatively affect cats. Some examples include the vacuum, the sound of breaking a vase, and the sound of oil poured onto a hot pan. Personally,as a cat owner, I have encountered many instances when my cat was greatly affected by loud noises. For example, the first time she experienceda thunderstorm, she hid for the entire afternoon, shaking and unwilling to move. Such an incident allowed me to witness firsthand the implications of the study that researchers continueto look into regarding cats’ sensitivity of hearing.
Overall, animals are like babies. Because they are defenseless, we need to take care of them carefully. If we decide to raise them, we should treat them with equality and understanding, for they deserve the same rights that we do.
