A new car I bought for half a year was broken by a stray cat. I knew who the "real culprit" was but could not "bring it to justice"
The "butterfly effect" caused by several scratches? Who has the best tricks? Ms. Wang's scratches
"A butterfly in the tropical rainforest in the Amazon River Basin in South America, occasionally flapping its wings can cause a tornado in Texas, USA in two weeks."
This sentence is the most common explanation of the butterfly effect.
Similarly, a stray cat from a community in the north of Hangzhou City can occasionally move its paws, which can also cause a discussion on how to treat and manage stray cats in two days.
The car was caught and was disfigured. The owner's heart was as if he was scratched by a cat. On the morning of October 10, Ms. Wang and her husband Mr. Xu went to District B of Dahu Dongyuan to visit their parents. As usual, Mr. Xu parked his car in the ground parking space in the community.
After noon, the couple had something to do temporarily and wanted to go downstairs to use a car. At this time, Mr. Xu observed some abnormalities: the car had not been washed for a while, and some dust had accumulated on the hood, but a few pieces of dust in the center were wiped out. Could it be that someone had touched it?
The couple looked along the dust and found many three-petal small footprints.
"It turned out to be the stray cat downstairs." Ms. Wang thought that the car was black. When the sun shone, the hood must be very warm, and it was nothing to go up to keep warm.
The couple planned to wipe away the dust from the car, but unexpectedly, they found many fine marks on the hood. Each thin mark is three roughly equal in length, and there are already cat footprints on the hood. Ms. Wang quickly thought that the thin mark must have been caught by the cat.
Although this is not a particularly serious car damage, the car has been bought for only half a year. The couple usually cherish it, but now they have broken their face for no reason, which makes Ms. Wang feel very uncomfortable.
The couple found the doorman, and the doorman also said that there is indeed a stray cat that often moves in the community and likes to lie on the car. It is precisely because this is a stray cat. When the car paint is scratched, some car owners can only admit that they are unlucky.
"I didn't think about anyone asking for compensation, but this problem cannot be solved? I will come again next time, what if the car is scratched again? If this cat hurts people, no one will care?" Ms. Wang was still feeling uncomfortable.
It is useless to find the "real murderer" because no one can do it.
The afternoon before yesterday, the reporter just walked into District B of Dahu Dongyuan and saw a cat with white background and yellow patterns on the trash can at the door of a unit, buzzing his head and turning around the plastic bag in the trash can. When the reporter approached, it immediately raised its head and called out to the reporter.
The reporter sent the photo of this cat to Ms. Wang, and Ms. Wang quickly replied: It’s it!
The cat twitched in the trash can for a while and jumped back to the ground. It whispers when someone passes by. Some children squat down and wanted to touch it, but they didn't hide, just whispered twice. A man stopped the electric car and went upstairs. Seeing that the owner had left, the cat jumped onto the electric car and sat on the bench, curled up and fell asleep.
The doorman on duty, Master Wang, was the doorman whom Ms. Wang found that day. "This cat has been here for a while, and is near the door of this unit every day. Because some residents look at it by the side when they are dumping the garbage, they pick some leftovers and feed it. I can see it every day when I am on duty every day."
Regarding the fact that the car paint is scratched by the cat, Master Wang was helpless: "There are actually a few cats in the community. This cat likes to climb up the car and stay for a long time. The car is scratched, and we can't do anything about it. Cats with owners can also find their owners, but they are stray cats."
The ground parking spaces in the community were full of cars, and there were five or six cars parked in front of the unit door that Master Wang said. The reporter observed carefully that there were more or less marks of cat claws on three of the cars, but no fine marks similar to those found on Ms. Wang's car.
"I'm also very surprised. Many cars here have been crawled by cats more than once, and I have never heard of scratches." said Master Wang.
Then, the reporter found Director Zhang of the community property. When asked about the cat, Director Zhang also had a headache: He noticed that cats love to climb cars, but it was the first time Ms. Wang received such a complaint.
"We understand the car owner's mood, but we are not unwilling to deal with the problem of stray cats, but it is really impossible to solve it." Director Zhang said with his fingers, "We have asked about the property management committee, community, and urban management, but Hangzhou only has regulations on managing dogs, and there are really no cats! What do you think?"
It's not the first time I got on the car to keep warm. Why was her car affected? Director Zhang walked to a car, pointed to the hood and said, "Look, this car cat has been on it, but it has no scratches." Then, Director Zhang gave an assumption: "Cats do not stretch out their claws when walking. Could someone drive it at that time? When the cat is nervous, it stretches out its claws and grabs the paint?" The reporter quickly contacted Mr. Xu, but Mr. Xu replied that when they arrived, the cat was not in the car and there was no situation of driving it. Then, he also gave a guess: Could it be that the cat grinding its claws on the smooth surface of the car, which caused the car paint to be scratched?
For this purpose, the reporter consulted an animal expert. Deputy Director Jiang of Hangzhou Zoo said that although individual cases are difficult to determine, cats still have common habits: when cats are moving, they will wrap their claws in their palms, and when walking, they will use meat pads to touch the ground.
Regarding speculation about grinding claws in the car, Deputy Director Jiang believes that the possibility is not high. "Because cats usually choose rough surfaces like tree bark to polish their claws."
Deputy Director Jiang also listed four main possibilities for cats to stretch their claws: one is when catching prey; two is when climbing or jumping vertically; three is when being funny with people, the cat's claws will be slightly opened after relaxing, but the claw tips will not be exposed; four is stress reaction, that is, when being frightened or threatened.
Deputy Director Jiang also said that each of the cats has five claws, which are particularly flexible, and it is difficult to judge the actual number of claws, and the number of claws is not fixed.
It is already autumn and the temperature is getting lower and lower. Many stray cats choose to keep warm in cars that have just turned off or are directly shining in the sun. To this end, animal protectors make an initiative every year. When starting the vehicle in cold weather, please be sure to honk the whistle first to avoid accidentally hurting stray cats hiding under the car, especially those who are warming near the wheels.
However, when stray cats affect the "face" of the car, is there no targeted solution?
At present, it is indeed "unequal to cats and dogs". Is there any "folk remedy" that can be used first to
Ms. Wang has consulted the urban management department for this matter. The reply she can get is "Only manage dogs, but not cats." Ms. Wang is a little confused: "We know that raising dogs requires dog tags, and stray dogs have ways to manage them, but they are also common pets, why can't cats be managed?"
Regarding the matter of managing cats, Deputy Director Jiang also said that both domestic cats and stray cats are necessary to manage them. In addition to harming people, because cats have a more three-dimensional range of movement, the Toxoplasma gondii they carry are more likely to be infected by humans and animals. Toxoplasma gondii is a parasite that threatens the fetus in pregnant women's abdomen. Even women who are not pregnant may lead to infertility if infected.
However, from the current perspective, there is indeed a gap in the management of cats.
"For the management of dogs, the government has long issued the "Hangzhou City Regulations on Restricting Dogs". Domestic raising requires registration and application. As for stray dogs, if you receive a complaint, the urban management department can also handle them in a standardized manner." Section Chief Wang of the Comprehensive Section of the Directly Undergraduate Brigade of the Municipal Urban Management Committee said, "However, the government has no regulations on the management of cats. Our urban management department does not have the management function for the time being." Section Chief Wang said that at present, Hangzhou's regulations on dog raising have been relatively complete. As for the gap in cat raising, she personally hopes to make up for it as soon as possible.
Of course, there are not only policies gaps in management of cats, but also more difficult at the operational level than managing dogs. Deputy Captain Jiang, the first squadron of the Municipal Urban Management Committee, mentioned in the interview that since cats move faster and can climb trees, it is more difficult to catch and control than to catch dogs.
For the time being, there is indeed "inequality" in the management of two common pets, cats and dogs. Before the relevant management regulations were issued, are there any "folk remedies" that can be cured first for cats that are still in an "extremely liberal" state, especially stray cats?
Why are dogs and cats more in charge? If you look at a 9-game PK, you will understand
1. Brain PK
Dogs have an average of 64 grams
Cats have an average of 25 grams
However, the average weight of the dog is much larger than that of the cats, so the cats have a larger brain weight. More importantly, cats have 300 million cerebral cortex neurons, while dogs have only 160 million. The cat wins.
2. The domestication history of PK
Both are relatively vague. The ancestor of the Dogs was domesticated about 50,000 years ago. The first Dogs who "don't work" may have been on the dining tables of residents in my country's Yangtze River Basin 16,000 years ago. So far, archaeological evidence about cat domestication can only be extended to about 9,500 years ago. Their functions are to look at the fields, accompany them and bury them alive. Dogs win.
3. Intimacy PK
This game was almost a complete victory for the Wan Xingren. Cats are even more unwilling to leave their territory and are more independent. This is determined by genes, which is the so-called nature.
4. Number PK
According to statistics from scientists in the top 10 countries in the world, there are more than 200 million cats as pets, while the number of dogs is less than 173 million. The number of cats is the dominant one.
5. Understanding PK
Both have good understanding of sound signals, but the dog has a better understanding and response to gestures. Dogs can also understand the authenticity of human emotions and even information, which makes them not only superior to cats in their "vocabulary", but also perform better in communication skills.
6. Solving the problem PK
Both cannot obtain food through tangible clues, but the dogs can do it after being motivated by their owners. Scientists believe that the Dogs are bad problem solvers, but fortunately they tend to seek collaborators. But cats, let’s forget it...
7, Voice PK
This game is a counterattack of the cats. They make few sounds, and only understand each other, with a similar sound frequency to that of human babies. The Dogs are even more troublesome and can convey information and express emotions through different wavelengths, amplitudes, intensity, frequency and tones. So, they are more noisy.
8. Obedience PK
seems to be no longer necessary to compare this game. The Dogs have evolved to a stage where they can easily adapt to living with humans and abide by human rules. Although scientists believe that through stimulation and reinforcement, cats can also have similar results, in fact, haha...
9. Sensitivity PK
people have 5 million olfactory receptors, while dogs have 300 million olfactory receptors. Although cats have an average of only 200 million in this number, due to the large gap in the sensitivity of smell between dog breeds, it is generally believed that cats have a more sensitive sense of smell. Cats and dogs are not as sensitive to colors as humans, but in dark environments, cats have better vision. At the same time, the auditory reception frequency range of cats is larger than that of dogs.
In total score, the Wanxingren won 5:4! However, I hope everyone can protect them equally.
