The cat "hen crouching" is a relatively vivid common name, which is usually characterized by landing on all fours, arching or bulging back and tense back or abdomen muscles. Cats use the posture of "hen squatting", generally because of stomach pain, which makes nesting more comfortable, just like people with stomach pain (stomach pain, menstrual pain) will curl up to nest.

Crouching or hunching posture of biped can relieve pain. Similarly, cats also have some pains, which can be alleviated to some extent by hunching their backs.

The reason why cats "hens crouch";

1, the weather is cold, so you need to keep out the cold.

The kitten's meat pad can feel the change of ambient temperature and emit heat. In winter, in order to reduce the heat emission, the cat's claws will be hidden under the stomach, which can achieve the necessary cold protection.

2. The hen squatting is also a preparation posture before the attack.

When playing with kittens, you may also see them squatting with hens, which is also the preparation posture before the attack. They have a serious face and occasionally swing little ass.

Step 3 get used to posture

It is very beneficial for cats and hens to crouch in this position. If there is any movement, they can get up and leave quickly, which is not easy to be caught by the shovel officer. Some cats crouch in a hen's posture to avoid cutting their nails. It is really a small machine.

Step 4 trust

Most cats and hens squat mainly to keep out the cold or to have a sense of trust in the people around them and the surrounding environment. However, if the kitten squats for a long time from time to time, accompanied by loss of appetite and poor mental state, it is likely to be gastrointestinal or stomach discomfort. Be sure to take it to the hospital for examination at this time!

But if the cat is just used to squatting with the hen, its mental state is good, it tastes delicious, and its excretion and weight are normal, then there is no need to be afraid.
