What s going on with the kitten that just got home and keeps barking?

Kittens bark all the time are common in the following situations:The kitten itself is hungry and wants to alert its owner;Stress response after changing the environment;May be pathological, such as pain. If there is no such situation, consider whether the mother cat is isolating the kittens.

If there is still no improvement, it is advisable to consult a doctor.

First of all, it's not hungry, or thirsty.

Remember to put drinking water next to the cat food, and have you shoveled the feces in the cat litter, the cat litter is very dirty, and the cat will not want to go to the toilet.

If there is water, food is eaten, cat litter is clean, and there is nothing uncomfortable, it is that he is bored and messed with, play with him.

Cats spend 14 to 15 hours of the day sleeping, and some cats sleep for more than 20 hours, so cats are called "lazy cats". However, if you look closely at the way the cat sleeps, you will find that the slightest sound will cause the cat's ears to move, and if someone approaches, the cat will wake up suddenly.

Originally, the cat is a hunting animal, in order to be able to keenly feel all the movements of the outside world, it does not sleep very dead, so it should not be called "lazy", because the cat only 4 or 5 hours is really sleeping, most of the time should be regarded as "fake sleep" or called closing the eyes to recuperate. But cats, which have been accustomed to human beings since childhood, sleep more dead and sleep longer.

Cats seem to be a little willful and go their own way. Originally, cats were animals that liked to act alone, unlike dogs, which obeyed the orders of their owners and acted in groups. Therefore, it does not regard its master as a monarch, but obeys orders.

Sometimes, whatever you call it, it doesn't even hear it. The relationship between the cat and the owner is not master-slave, and it is better to see them as equal friends. It is precisely this relationship that makes it unique.

On the other hand, the cat regards its owner as a parent and loves to be spoiled like a child, and when it feels lonely, it will climb on the owner's lap, or jump on the spread newspaper and sit on it, showing its coquettishness.

For cats who are sensitive and timid and cautious, they are very nervous after entering their new home.

The new environment around the cat makes it impossible to judge whether it is safe or not, and if it is a kitten that has just left its mother, the reaction will be greater, and the constant barking is one of the ways to express their nervousness.

We can make a good analogy, when we humans are inexplicably transferred to a new environment, adults may quickly observe and familiarize themselves with the environment, find food and drink and other living materials, while children will cry loudly, looking for their mothers, and going home ......The child will cry non-stop, Lao Hu has tried, the child can cry for 2-3 hours without stopping, until the neighbor complains (don't ask Lao Hu how he tried).

It's the same when it comes back to cats, big cats will generally take the initiative to patrol their new homes and don't know how to bark, while kittens will keep meowing.

At this time, the kitten is most likely crying "I want my mother" and "I want to go home", which is a very good opportunity for the shovel officer to cultivate feelings with the kitten, and we can "take advantage of the situation" to become the most reliable person in the kitten's mind.

We can gently stroke the kitten's neck and back to stabilize the kitten's mood first, and some heartless little ones may only need to be soothed for a few minutes before they purr under your hands.

Then take the kitten to familiarize yourself with the environment, and tell it that there is food here, water there, and a litter box for its poop in the corner. In addition to being nervous, the kitten will bark when it is hungry, thirsty, and cold, so let it know that what it eats, drinks, and uses is all **, so that it will use it by itself. After getting acquainted with the environment, you can let the kitten explore it on its own, don't follow too deliberately, and secretly pay attention to it with the corner of your eye.

The kitten may continue to hide in the corner, and when it feels safe, it will sneak out on its own and inspect the familiar environment again, eating, drinking, and pulling.

The process of getting acquainted and adapting to the environment generally takes about 3-7 days, and we can't always have time to spend with it. The kitten's personality is mostly lively and active, and if there are fun toys to accompany it, it can distract its attention and consume its excess energy, so that it will be tired and sleep well at night.

Of course, if the cat is not feeling well, it will also meow, so when we find that the cat has been barking, we need to carefully observe it first to confirm that it is not caused by injury or illness, first solve the physical problem, and then solve the psychological problem.
