A cat's sudden alienation from its owner may be because the owner has been aggressive or hit it recently, so it is holding a grudge. Secondly, it may also be because the cat lacks the company of its owner for a long time, so it becomes withdrawn and unwilling to interact with people. Furthermore, if the owner has been in contact with other cats outside, the cat will also become jealous and angry and ignore the owner. In addition, if the cat is usually very close to its owner, and suddenly one day it ignores people, and its energy and appetite are also abnormal, it may be that the cat is sick and does not want to pay attention to the owner because it is not feeling well. In this case, it is recommended to seek medical treatment in time. .

1. Holding a grudge

If the owner has been harsh or hit the cat because it made a mistake recently, the cat will hold a grudge and alienate the owner. At this time, the owner can give the cat some snacks it usually likes, and can also play with it and coax the cat with its favorite toys.

2. Lack of companionship

Cats also need companionship. If the owner does not play with the cat for a long time, the cat lacks interaction with the owner, and the cat’s personality will become worse. As it becomes more and more withdrawn and unwilling to get close to others, it will naturally gradually alienate its owner. Therefore, no matter how busy the owner is, he should try to spend more time playing with the cat, which will help deepen the relationship with the cat.

3. Angry

Cats have a very sensitive sense of smell. They can smell smells that we cannot smell. If the owner is contaminated with the smell of other cats outside, then his own cat will They may become jealous and angry and ignore their master. Therefore, if the owner comes into contact with other cats outside, it is best to change clothes and wash hands after returning home, so as not to arouse the resentment of his own cat.

4. Sick

If the cat is usually very close to its owner, but suddenly ignores people one day, the owner should pay attention, as the cat is probably sick. It is recommended to carefully observe the cat's condition to see if there is loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, elevated body temperature, etc. If so, seek medical attention promptly.
