1.Being Ignored
If you’re new to the “cat world,” this one may have caught you by surprise. Contrary to popular belief, most cats hate being ignored by their humans. The reality is that cats desire and need attention; they’re just more subtle about it than dogs. While a dog might wag their tail and run around excitedly, a cat might give head bunts or hangs out close by.
Cats desire attention on their own terms, and oftentimes don’t ask for as much attention as dogs. However, rubs, snuggles, and playtime are things that cats usually want on a daily basis. As an FYI, some cats develop such strong bond with their owners that being left alone causes them distress. That’s why cats shouldn’t be left alone for more than 8-10 hours at a time.
