To a certain extent, it is more difficult to judge whether animals are sick than when humans are sick. They cannot speak and can only communicate through behavior. This requires family members to be attentive to the small animals, care more, and pay attention to them all the time.

However, sometimes if you love small animals too much, you can easily hurt yourself and become so angry that you vomit blood.

Have you seen this black cat with a wretched face and a half-dead expression?

As a game anchor, Black Cat’s poop-sweeping officer @ Amber (PaladinAmber) is usually busy with game live broadcasts, but she still cares very much about the pets at home.

Just a few days ago, she suddenly noticed that the black cat at home often sat or lay down blankly, without eating or drinking, or even interacting with her. She no longer played hide-and-seek, her favorite game, and looked more like a lonely old man who was careless about everything and seemed to be detached from the world.

After this frightening phenomenon continued for many days, the young lady was worried that Black Cat’s body could not bear it. What if he really got seriously ill? I took it to the vet.

After repeated observations by the doctor, and even taking some X-rays for physical examination, he finally explained to the lady based on his experience: This cat may have just been wronged outside, such as losing a fight, which caused serious emotional and psychological damage, and it was unacceptable for a while. Physically healthy, nothing is wrong at all.

The young lady was so angry. Looking at the abnormal behavior of the "dying man", I really thought that his end was coming. Who knew that it was just a bad mood!

But what can I do? After all, it is my own cat.

After returning home from the hospital, the black cat seemed to have not come out of the "drama" yet. Although it knew that the doctor had already exposed it, to be a professional actor, you have to perform the whole drama!

So, after waiting for three whole days, the young lady took a sneak peek at the black cat drinking water crazily.

As the saying goes, people are like iron rice and steel. If they don't eat a meal, they will be hungry. If people are like this, how long can a cat last?

It finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Attention! Is your cat or dog really capable of pretending to be sick?

Don’t doubt your own eyes. If your dog or cat has never had a history of pretending to be sick, it only means that you have trained it well or that they are of good quality.

Just because you have never pretended to be sick does not mean that you will not pretend to be sick, because it is very common for cats and dogs to pretend to be sick.

According to a rough statistics from pet clinics across the country two years ago, the probability of cats and dogs malingering is as high as 38%. Generally speaking, many dogs and cats at home are found to be behaving abnormally, or suddenly not eating or drinking, acting like a fool, or suddenly having a lame foot, etc. After taking them for examination, a considerable number of them are healthy.

Cats and dogs usually have only one purpose for pretending to be sick, and that is profit.

Cheating for food and drink is a low-level interest. Some cats and dogs will pretend to be sick in order not to go downstairs to exercise. In cases where there are multiple animals in the home, one of them will pretend to be sick to gain more favor from the owner.

Therefore, if your body is in normal condition and it suddenly behaves abnormally, you should be careful to judge that it is pretending to be sick. At this time, you can observe in secret and record the evidence. Don't let these four-cornered beasts lead you by the nose.
