Description

  In the situation where many cats are kept in the present invention, even if cats that are not compatible with each other look and smell each other, they are excited and fight each other. The present invention relates to a training mask and a training method that can be trained so as to gradually get used to smell and not get excited.

  When multiple cats are bred, an unmatched combination of cats is inevitably produced. When one of them gets excited because of anger, the other cats get excited and a big fight breaks out. When the cat is excited, it releases a warning pheromone from the soles of the feet and the vicinity of the anus, which stimulates the surrounding cats. The fight between cats is very dangerous, sometimes involving the owner and causing injury.

  In order to prevent fighting between cats, owners need to keep them in separate rooms or keep cages separate from each other so that they do not face each other. However, this method is limited in terms of the number of rooms and space to be used at home. In addition, the ability to act only within a limited range may cause the cat's own stress and escalate his aggressive personality.

  Therefore, various biting prevention muzzles have been proposed to prevent the animals from biting. For example, Patent Document 1 is a barking and biting prevention mask invented for dogs, and Patent Document 2 is a blindfolded muzzle designed for dogs.

Japanese Patent Application No. 9-523932 No. 2005-2344

  However, the muzzle of Patent Document 1 was invented for dogs and is designed to fit the dog's face with the nose and mouth protruding forward, so the eyes and nose are flat compared to the dog. It does not fit the face of a cat. In addition, the opening and closing of the mouth is limited by a muzzle made of a hard material, which is a kind of punishment and is intended to make a habit, so the wearing feeling is bad and the cat is stressed very much. Furthermore, in the muzzle of patent document 1, since the eye part is open | released, there exists a possibility of injuring an eye by the fight between animals. Since the mouth ring of Patent Document 2 is made of a soft material, the feeling of wearing is improved and the eye can be protected by having a detachable blindfold, but the mouth cannot be opened or closed at all, so it is attached to a cat , The point that the cat is very stressed does not change, and if the blindfold is put on, the field of view is blocked, so it is very stressful for the cat and it falls off the top and falls or falls Accidents are easy to happen and dangerous.

  Therefore, the present invention provides a cat mask that has a shape that fits the face of a cat and that has a good wearing feeling that protects the eyes and does not block the view. The cat mask according to the present invention not only prevents biting and injury due to fighting, but also improves the relationship between the cats, thereby reducing fights and preventing injury.

  Accordingly, the cat mask of the present invention includes a forehead covering part for covering the forehead, an eye-nose covering part made of either a mesh material, a transparent material or a translucent material, and an upper right, right above and upper left of the forehead covering part. And three subbands provided at the lower right and the lower left of the eye nose cover part.

  According to the present invention, the opening and closing of the mouth is restricted by the eyes and nose cover part, so that when the fight between the cats breaks out, it can be prevented from being injured by biting the other cat. Also, by covering the face with a mask, it is hard to see the expression of the cat, so even if the cat gets angry and intimidated, the expression of intimidation is difficult to be transmitted to the other cat, and the other cat is less likely to be stimulated, causing a fight Can reduce the risk. Furthermore, since the forehead covers the vicinity of the forehead of the cat, even when a fight breaks out, it is possible to prevent the head from being injured by being bitten by the other cat. The eyes and nose cover is made of a net material, transparent material or translucent material, so the field of view of the cat wearing it is not obstructed and breathing is not obstructed, so there is less stress on the cat. Also, since the eyes and nose are not exposed, the eyes and nose can be protected even when attacked by the opponent's cat.

Further, the present invention is characterized in that a fastener capable of adjusting the length of the band or the submandibular band is provided at the end of the band and the submandibular band of the cat mask of the present invention.

According to this invention, it is possible to select and fasten the right and left belt bands under the cat's chin so that the optimal length is secured, so the cat mask can be securely fixed to cats of any size. it can. Also, by changing the position of the left and right band bands, you can adjust the attached cat so that it can open and close its mouth, so you can loosen it when eating, and keep it snugly fit when you are not eating, etc. , Can be adjusted flexibly according to each scene.

  Further, the present invention is characterized in that a loop-like string-like object is attached to the tip of a band-like band provided immediately above the forehead cover of the cat mask of the present invention and the edge of the Japanese submandibular band.

  According to this invention, the cat's mask can be securely fixed to the head of the cat by passing the collar through the loop-shaped string and attaching the collar to the cat's neck. Even if you dislike it and try to remove it, the cat mask will not come off. In addition, even if a violent fight between cats breaks out, the cat mask does not come off the cat, so that the head of the cat can be reliably protected and safe.

  In addition, the eyes and nose cover of the cat mask of the present invention is characterized by being made of black, dark brown, dark blue or other dark material.

  According to this invention, since the eyes and nose cover are dark colors, the field of view is better than when viewed through a light color, the stress on the cat is less, the risk of falling or falling is reduced, and it is safe.

  Also, the cat fight prevention training method using the cat mask of the present invention is to attach a cat mask to at least one cat and attach the cat mask with the cat smell to another cat. In order to prevent cats from getting used to each other's smell and fighting.

  According to this invention, when there are a plurality of incompatible cats, at least one cat is attached with a cat mask, and then a cat mask with a cat smell is attached to another cat, Slightly accustomed to each other's scent, so fighting between cats can be suppressed. Also, the cat mask makes it difficult to see the facial expression of the cat, so even if the cat is angry and intimidated, the intimidating expression is difficult to be transmitted to other cats, and the cats that are intimidated will start to fight. Can be prevented.

Even if you hate it at first, you will gradually become used to the feeling of wearing and will not try to remove it, so you will be patient and train yourself every day.

  Next, a cat training method using the cat mask 100 will be described.

  In the training using the cat mask 100 according to the first embodiment, in the case where a large number of cats are housed, when cats with poor compatibility look at each other's faces and smell the scents, they are excited and fight. It is a training method that aims to suppress the fight by gradually getting used to each other's presence and smell.

  First, the following requirements must be met as a prerequisite for starting training.

  First, the owner has a lot of love for each of the two fighting cats. Second, more than a year has passed since the fight between cats. Third, cats who live together except for fighting cats are not disturbing. Fourth, during training, make some places where cats can escape, such as closets and high places, in case of a fight. Fifth, the two fighting cats are not taking any action to find the other cat. Sixth, keep the cats' nails off. Seventh, prepare several water sprays in the cat's range of action in case cat quarrels break out.

  Make sure that all seven of the above requirements are met before starting training.

  First, as a first training stage, two cat masks 100 are prepared, and a cat training mask is attached to each of two cats that are incompatible and fight each other for 1-2 minutes. Of the two cats, A is a cat with a more aggressive character, and B is a cat with a character that is susceptible to attack. The first stage of training is that each of the cats A and B gets used to wearing the cat mask 100. It is necessary to install it in a place where the existence of each other cannot be seen. Also, the wearing time should not be longer than 1-2 minutes.

  When the two cats A and B have become accustomed to the wearing feeling of the training mask 100, the next stage moves to the training second stage. The second stage is to get used to the smell of the other party, and replace each other's training mask 100 and wear it. The period is about one week, about 5 to 10 minutes every day, and the training mask 100 worn by the cat of the fighting partner is put on the previous day alternately. That is, the cat A wears the training mask 100 worn by the previous day cat B, and the cat B wears the training mask 100 worn by the previous day cat A. Cats are already accustomed to wearing the training mask 100, but by wearing the training mask 100 with the smell of the opponent's cat, they are gradually getting used to the smell of the opponent's cat.

  Even if you wear a mask of the fighting partner's cat, you will not be disliked, and when you get used to the smell of the fighting partner's cat, you move to the third stage of training.

  The third stage of training is to get used to seeing each other. First, the incompatible cats A and B are each fitted with a training mask 100, the cat B is placed in a room with a glass window, the cat A is placed outside the room, and each other's appearance is shown through the glass window. Like that.

Next, incompatible cats A and B are each fitted with a training mask 100, put cat A in a room with a window, put cat B outside the room, open the window and close only the screen door. , Show each other through the screen door.

  If you are used to seeing each other through the screen while wearing the training mask 100, move on to the fourth stage of training. Next, the training mask 100 is attached to the cat A which is the more aggressive cat among the two incompatible cats, and the training mask 100 is not attached to the cat B. Then, only cat B is put in the cage. Cat A wearing the cat mask 100 is placed outside the cage. If cat A intimidates or is excited about cat B in the cage, water is sprayed on cat A with water spray, and the training is immediately rounded up to keep cat A and cat B away. The cat A is trained every few minutes every day so that the time that the cat A can see without seeing the cat B in the cage is gradually increased.

  If the third stage of training is carried out for several weeks and cat A is not intimidated by seeing cat B in the cage and each other's cats get excited and can live their normal lives, Move to four stages. In the fourth stage, both the cat A and the cat B are put on the training mask 100 and are then taken out of the cage and stayed in the same room so that they get used to each other's smell and presence.

  In the fourth stage, the cat A and the cat B are each wearing a training mask 100 and spending a short time together in the same room. The time should be a few minutes at first and then gradually increased.

  To release cats A and B in the same room, what should be prepared is to prepare water sprays in several places in the room. Water spray is used to calm the excitement of cats when a fight between cats breaks out. Further, while the cat A and the cat B are released in the same room, the owner needs to keep an eye on the cat A and the cat B.

  If it is confirmed that the fight between the cats does not occur even if they are in the same room, next, only one cat mask 100 is removed. If possible, the cat mask 100 of the cat B having a more personality (not aggressive but passive when fighting) is removed. With only one cat mask 100 removed, observe two cats in the same room, confirm that no fighting will occur for several days, and then remove the other cat's cat mask 100. I will do it.

  Generally, after months of training, the cats get used to each other little by little, and they are no longer intimidating or fighting in the same room.

  The above describes a training method with two cats that are incompatible, but it is also possible to train a plurality of two or more cats that are aggressive and easy to fight. When training two or more cats at the same time, prepare as many training masks 100 as the number of cats. In the second stage, wear all the masks 100 for cats in rotation. First, bring the cats together through the glass window or the screen door, prepare the same number of cages as the number of cats, and take the cats out of the cages one by one in order.
