There are about a dozen stray cats in the community where I live, some of which are officially part of the establishment, and some of which are just casual cats. The specific situation is as follows: Officially established (five): In April 2020, the mother cat in the community next door gave birth to 6 kittens. After weaning, she could not bring them home, so the mother cat took 5 of them to a household in the villa area of the community where I live. Among the 5 kittens, two gray civet cats, There are two orange civet cats, and a cat that resembles the prototype of the Black Sheriff: with white beard, white breast, and white paws, we call him Black Sheriff; 7 temporary diners: In May this year, an exotic pregnant calico cat moved in and gave birth to four kittens; Black Sheriff’s parents also often come to dine. The male and female owners of this family originally liked cats very much and kept them until the cat broke a valuable vase at home and died. It seems that the cat mother knew after investigation that this was a good family to entrust her children to. One morning, the hostess opened the door and found five cute kittens in the unused cattery at the door of her home. She looked at her timidly and pitifully, and her heart softened. She turned around and took out the remaining cat food and started raising them. The five kittens officially settled in their home and were admitted. Throughout the summer of 2020, the kittens thrived. There are several thick poplar trees with sawed crowns next to the villa, which become a training ground for the five kittens. They sharpened their claws on the trees, scurried up and down, chased each other, chased and fought, and developed a good skill. The owner is very fond of the black cat Sheriff because he is very docile, very humble and does not compete for food. Therefore, the owner is worried that it will not eat well, so he always gives it some raw meat as snacks. Sheriff Black Cat is less alert than the other four kittens. The other four kittens are only allowed to be touched by their owners and are not allowed to be petted by others. However, Sheriff Black Cat actively rubs other people’s legs, and will also walk with his owner and those of us who love him. There is a big wonder in the community: others walk their dogs, and we walk our cats. It became my habit to visit Sheriff Black Cat frequently. If I don't go for more than three days, I feel like I'm missing something. Sheriff Black Cat has become my deep attachment and concern, and I always bring him delicious food. When I went to visit it, it brushed my face with its long tail. It was soft and gentle, and I became more tender and soft, from body to soul. It will also stretch out its face and let me scratch it. If I scratch the left side, it will automatically turn to the right, or it will automatically roll on the spot, exposing its white belly and looking cute. He would also sit next to me obediently, motionless, as if thinking about something. These scenes often remind me of American psychologist Harlow’s rhesus monkey experiments. Scientific research shows that genetics has an impact on psychology. Sheriff Black Cat's father, Dahei, lives in the park in front of the community, and he doesn't recognize life either. At dusk, as long as someone calls it, it will rush over and is very friendly. Perhaps the Sheriff also inherited his father's good character and mentality. Therefore, for the sake of children, before having children, parents must first improve themselves. Some psychologists say:"Nature affects nurture, and nurture determines nature". This means that what is inherited is also acquired. Heredity only provides prerequisites for psychological development, that is, physiological mechanisms. However, transforming inherited potential functions into actual abilities requires a certain environment and education. For example, a person's intelligence is just a potential passed down from the previous generation. To transform this potential and make it develop soundly and play its role, we must try to create a certain more suitable environment and provide a more complete education. The results of Harlow's rhesus monkey experiments proved that young monkeys need physical contact with their mothers most, far more than their desire for milk. In response to today's parents of chicken babies, there is a long way to go to transform them from blindly "friendly education" to "harsh education". The five lucky black cat Sheriff brothers and sisters, although their mother could not bring them here, her mother entrusted them to loving families to save them from the pain of wandering. They received good care, their wildness subsided, they developed trust and attachment to people, and they became the sustenance of many people in the community. Cats and people care about each other, need each other, and comfort each other. So, for teenagers who come for counseling, I sometimes suggest that they get a pet. Being needed is the last pull to prevent some children from going to extremes! Being cared for is a weak motivation for them to miss this world! Only by being comforted can they be reborn in Nirvana after all kinds of pain!
