Social Environment Impacts When Pet Cats Are Allowed Outdoor Access

 

As the world progresses, certain changes in the environment take place. Some of these changes are good, but some are bad as well. Some changes may impact your life, even the lives of your other loved ones like your cats.

So, it is understandable if you choose to keep your pet cats inside your home all the time. There are several negative impacts your cats may experience when you give them regular free access to the outside environment, including social environment effects.

What are these effects?

Social pressures do not happen to humans alone but also to cats. When you let your cats go out, they may encounter territorial disputes and fights may ensue between them and other felines in the neighborhood. Your cats may encounter aggression and may acquire injuries when chaos occurs. These cases may lead to anxiety or even stress among cats.

Akita Grooming And Training

 

Akitas have this unique trait of grooming themselves like how a cat does— they lick their bodies. When stalking their prey, Akitas aren't like most dogs bark before attacking. They are silent, lowering themselves to the ground like tigers. Akitas have a muscular build and weigh more than 100 pounds. They are domineering, so you must train them properly. As loyal dogs, you and your dog's bond mustn't break by entrusting him to a trainer.

Research about training Akitas before adopting this breed. They don't take harsh ways of training positively, so keep in mind that the dog's respect can be earned by being respectful to him, too. Although they're intelligent, Akitas can take longer to train. Their natural stubbornness is a major issue in training, and it's best to research the training tips for Akitas first. This breed isn't for timid owners.

Any problem affecting your pet's skin and/or hair coat should require a visit to your nearest pet hospital Washington DC.
