Pet cats like shit scrapers, but don’t want to be touched by shit scrapers

A cat raised by a Japanese cat owner has become an Internet celebrity. The reason for its popularity is that the cat owner said that its character is a "tsundere": it clearly likes the cat owner, but it does not want to be hugged by the cat owner. It refuses when hugged, which makes the cat owner feel very cute and wants to touch it even more.

This pure white cat was named Muji by the official, which means the famous Japanese brand "MUJI", probably because its pure white fur color is consistent with the style of the brand's products.

A man who has kept cats for four years thinks he has a good relationship with the cat. However, every time he wants to get close to the cat, the cat shows reluctance and even turns around and runs away when the man approaches.

Look at the cat's expression of rejection and drooped eyes. It is obvious that he wants to say: "Go away, I don't want to have anything to do with you."

The cat refused to be hugged or kissed. The man’s grip was too tight, and the cat could not break free. He could only express everything with helpless eyes.

Cats don’t even like getting too close to another cat in the house. Every time another cat comes closer, even if the cat has its back turned to the other cat, it seems as if there are eyes behind it. It immediately senses the other cat's purpose, then stands up and runs away.

Some people may say that maybe the cat really doesn’t like this shit scraper. However, this is not the case. The cat actually likes the shit shovel very much. It will also meow and act coquettishly to the shit shovel, but it is limited to slight contact on the face and absolutely no big movements.

Tsundere is a word invented in Japanese culture. It is used to describe an awkward personality: one wants to act coquettishly to friends or partners, but for the sake of face, one has to pretend to be cold and mature. If one is exposed, one will blush and run away. This is a cute personality that is very popular among Japanese people.

Based on his own observations and guesses, the shit shovel official believed that his cat also had this kind of personality, and promoted it vigorously. As a result, it attracted many fans, and the cat became an internet celebrity with the label of "tsundere".

However, friends who have a little bit of cat knowledge should have already seen the problem with this cat...

Yes, you can tell by looking at the ears that this is a Scottish Fold cat, or a cat with the Fold gene. In the photos posted by the official, this folded-eared cat has been sitting on the ground in a strange posture, rarely standing on all fours like other cats, which means that it is suffering from illness.

In the early days, people's understanding of animals was not as comprehensive as it is now, and their views on animals were not as scientific as they are now. The genetic mutation of folded ears frequently occurs in Scottish Highland cats. Some cat breeders regard this genetic mutation as an interesting feature and preserve it.

However, people soon realized that there are health problems with folded-eared cats. The principle is also very simple. Under normal circumstances, if you want to retain a certain characteristic of a cat, people will definitely choose a cat that has this characteristic on both sides to breed the next generation. However, the offspring of two folded-eared cats have a surprisingly high rate of deformities and stillbirths. People with some experience can immediately see that the characteristic of folded ears is an unhealthy characteristic.

Modern medicine has made the health status of fold-eared cats very clear: due to genetic defects that affect bone development, not only their ears cannot stand up, but other bones in the body will also not be normal. Fold-eared cats often adopt a sitting posture like this white cat, which means that the bones in their legs cannot bear the pressure caused by their weight when standing, so they can only sit down to relieve the pain in their legs.

Research data shows that cats with folded ears will definitely get sick, it’s just a matter of time. Some cats with folded ears have swollen legs and feet that are unable to stand, and some have a stiff tailbone and a tail that cannot move normally. Moreover, this cannot be treated. The only way to relieve the cat's symptoms and pain is by taking some drugs such as chondroitin.

The white cat named Muji likes the shit shovel very much. The reason why it doesn't like being touched by the shit shovel is not "tsundere", but because it is already sick. It will hurt when the shit shovel touches it. The pain is so painful that even the cat can't bear it, so it uses all its strength to refuse. But the ignorant shit-shovel officer actually took this as an interesting character to show off.

If the shit scraper really doesn’t know, just say he is ignorant. I hope he can give the cat medicine to relieve the pain immediately after knowing the truth.
