Socjalizacja kot\u00f3w to jeden z najwa\u017cniejszych etap\u00f3w w \u017cyciu kota<\/strong>, especially in its first days and weeks. It is precisely then that its reactions to the world, to people and to other animals take shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prawid\u0142owa socjalizacja przek\u0142ada si\u0119 na poczucie bezpiecze\u0144stwa<\/strong>, \u0142atwo\u015b\u0107 adaptacji w nowych sytuacjach<\/strong> i zdrowe relacje z opiekunami<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our cattery we attach enormous importance to this \u2013 because even the most beautiful cat will not be happy (nor will it make a new family happy) if it is not prepared beforehand for life in a human home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Socjalizacja<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Kiedy zaczyna si\u0119 socjalizacja kot\u00f3w?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Proces socjalizacji rozpoczyna si\u0119 ju\u017c w pierwszych dniach i tygodniach \u017cycia<\/strong>, a jego najbardziej intensywny okres przypada na czas mi\u0119dzy 2. a 10. tygodniem<\/strong>. It is then that the kitten soaks up stimuli like a sponge \u2013 and its later behaviour depends on what it gets to know and gets used to then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dlatego tak wa\u017cne jest, gdzie i z kim kociak sp\u0119dza ten czas<\/strong>. It is not a stage that can be \u201emade up for\u201d after adoption \u2013 it is something that is built daily in the cattery from the very beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kluczowe elementy dobrej socjalizacji<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Below we present the 7 elements of cat socialisation that we consider key. We describe why they are important, and how we – at Kotki K\u0119dziorki*PL – try to put them into practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Kontakt z lud\u017ami<\/strong> \ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udc67\u200d\ud83d\udc66 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Daily contact with people is the foundation \u2013 stroking, carrying, talking to the kittens, the presence of children and adults make the cat not afraid of people and \u0142atwo buduje relacj\u0119 ze swoj\u0105 przysz\u0142\u0105 rodzin\u0105<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

In our cattery the kittens have daily contact with the household \u2013 we are with them, we stroke them, we talk to them from the first days of life. They have contact both with adults and with our children. After vaccination they also have contact with other people visiting us.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

2. Kontakt z innymi kotami<\/strong> \ud83d\udc31 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

R\u00f3wnie wa\u017cna jest mo\u017cliwo\u015b\u0107 kontaktu z mam\u0105, rodze\u0144stwem i innymi doros\u0142ymi kotami<\/strong>. Dzi\u0119ki temu kotek uczy si\u0119 j\u0119zyka kociego<\/strong>, appropriate grading of force during play, communication, self-control and boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lack of contact with other cats at a young age can lead to later behavioural problems and aggression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With us the kittens are in the „nursery” (a place\/room dedicated to them) for about 4 weeks – then they have contact with their mother and with us. After that time we move them to the „kindergarten”, where they already have contact with our other adult cats or other litters.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Eksploracja domu\ud83c\udfe1 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A kitten should have the possibility of safely getting to know various rooms, surfaces (including various textures), places to hide and to climb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to this rozwija ciekawo\u015b\u0107, pewno\u015b\u0107 siebie i radzi sobie w nowym domu<\/strong>, bez nadmiernego stresu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Our aforementioned \u201enursery\u201d is in our living room – the central place of the house, where they are initially enclosed in a large pen. But later (around 6-8 weeks) they can already freely explore the whole house (including taking walks upstairs, or freely coming up to us while we work from home).<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

4. Ekspozycja na d\u017awi\u0119ki i sytuacje<\/strong> \ud83d\udd0a <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n

A well-socialised kitten knows various sounds: the intercom, the vacuum cleaner, the blender, the sounds of conversations, music, the television, street traffic, nature. Thanks to this nie panikuje<\/strong> in normal home situations and copes more easily with changes of surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From an early age we get the little ones used to the vacuum cleaner, the hairdryer, the sounds of the kitchen and everyday life. Thanks to this they are not fearful later. Because we also have a large glazed terrace, our kittens also learn contact with nature in a safe way. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
