Stray cats earn cat food by performing shows after being adopted
Cats in nature can be roughly divided into two types, one is a pet cat that has no worries about food and clothing, and the other is a stray cat that lacks food and clothing. There is no doubt that a cat's fate is basically determined from birth.
Unless this cat is extremely lucky and accidentally meets a noble person who changes its destiny, it will be possible to escape from the life of wandering.
It is difficult for stray cats to live long on their own. Only by relying on humans can they have a better life.
Therefore, after being adopted, most stray cats have completely curbed their wandering habits and lived a pampered life, just waiting for their owners to work hard and buy good food and drinks for themselves.
A stray cat in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, after being adopted by a kind person, did not choose to lie down. Instead, he taught himself skills and performed talent shows to earn cat food. For this reason, he got a job at an aquarium and became a cat that is the envy of his peers.
Do you dare to imagine the versatile civet cat
? In an aquarium, the most popular animal is actually a tabby cat!
Facing hundreds of spectators off the stage, the cat showed no stage fright. He relied on his elbows to move nimbly between the parallel bars, perfectly performing a "cat show".
Such a hard-core performance not only received thunderous applause, but also got the dried fish that it cherished so much from the trainer.
You know, although cats have been accompanying humans for thousands of years, it is really not easy to successfully domesticate a cat and make it behave according to the owner's wishes!
If you think this cat can only climb the parallel bars, then you should really underestimate it! Cats have more than just one special skill.
The trainer placed a basketball on two bamboo poles. The furry child jumped on the basketball without hesitation. It stepped on the basketball and ran forward very flexibly. The basketball kept flipping under the cat's feet, but it did not affect its movements at all. The little guy seemed to be stepping on flat ground. It was indeed a cat with well-developed balance.
Performances and movements that may seem complicated to humans are, however, a piece of cake for cats.
The little guy relied on his performance to attract countless audiences to the aquarium, and at the same time he also got the dried fish he dreamed of. No bite of cat food is free. Cats will never be slaves unless they are fed and housed!
The "main pillar" of the aquarium
Many viewers come to the aquarium just to watch this cat perform. A video of the little guy's performance has received hundreds of thousands of likes and millions of views on the short video platform.
Even the curator probably didn’t expect that this cat would become the “pillar” of the aquarium. It’s obvious that cats are popular, and controversy over it has also followed.
Some netizens think that this cat is so pitiful and has to use its physical strength to make money. It is hard to imagine what it has endured behind the scenes.
Some netizens believe that cats are easily stressed animals. Performing in such a noisy environment and being watched by so many people, the little guy must have suffered a lot physically and psychologically. Some netizens said frankly that this cat is the worst pet cat they have ever seen.
In response to the above views of netizens, other netizens raised objections: In their view, cats are difficult to domesticate, and no one can force them to do things they don’t like.
The more you force it, the more it will do the opposite. Not only will it not complete the instructions as required by humans, but it will also bear a grudge against the person who hit it. A timid cat will choose to hide.
This cat in the aquarium obviously did it voluntarily. The trainer did not restrict the cat's freedom, but used food to train the cat to do some very simple actions for it. The cat also enjoyed it and enjoyed the whole process.
If the cat really doesn’t like this kind of performance, it can escape on the stage without any restraints. However, the cat did not do this, which proves that it likes its current life very much.
It was once a stray cat
In my opinion, in order to find out whether a cat is willing to go on stage, in addition to observing its performance on stage, you also need to know the story of the little guy's past. The trainer told us about the cat's life experience.
It turns out that because of the geographical location and beautiful ecological environment of the aquarium, many stray cats choose to live here.
Many people also abandon their newborn kittens here. This civet cat is one of the many stray cats.
When the staff first encountered this cat, it was looking for food in the trash can at the back door of the aquarium. At that time, it was thin and small. Out of sympathy, the staff took the cat back and bought cat food for the furry child with their own money.
Because this cat has a very naughty character and is very energetic, everyone named it "Pippi". In fact, Pippi is just one of the stray cats we rescue. They also vaccinate older stray cats and find adoption for young kittens.
Soon, the employees’ charitable deeds became known to the company. The aquarium set aside a special area for homeless stray cats to live in. It not only has air conditioning, but also is equipped with cat nests, cat climbing frames, cat scratching boards and other entertainment items for cats. It also arranges dedicated personnel to take care of the cats’ diet and daily life.
At the beginning, no one thought about letting the cat perform a show. Later, during the process of getting along, the trainer found that Pippi had a lively personality, strong curiosity, and intelligence. Because he had been a stray, he had an excessive obsession with food.
He began to use the food that the furry child liked to eat, to guide it, and let it do some simple actions according to human instructions. Unexpectedly, the little guy quickly understood it and perfectly performed one wonderful performance after another..
To be honest, not all cats are suitable for performing on stage. Pippi is just the one with extraordinary talent. We can see that he is very happy during the training process, and that is enough.
Wouldn’t it be nice to let a stray cat that has no fixed place to live, suffer from hunger and cold, use its own advantages to do some work that it is good at, and then it can completely get rid of wandering and live a life without worries about food and drink?
