The Needs:

The needs of the cat/dog are often the same as the basic human needs.

We begin by trying to gain the trust of the cat/dog.  You start by providing food, water, affection; you may also start bringing special treats or toys to play with them day by day you repeat until you know you’ve established the trust knowing they will not go anywhere else and that they’ll stick around.

Sometimes life we become busy and you may begin to ease up on the frequent things you did to gain the trust of this new companion but they stick around because they know that or hope that you will remember them and provide them with their needs. Others begin to notice and start to provide water/food and affection but they still hang around because you’re their sole caregiver and they trust you.

You become stressed with everyday life sometimes we tend to take out that stress on the ones who didn’t inflict the stress we may start to become easily agitated you start to raise your voice maybe become a little physical but the cat/dog is forgiving and understanding and still comes back to you to try and comfort you, You may push them away they feel hurt shocked and surprised by your behavior but still hang around hoping that you will come back to how you used to be to gain their trust.

Over the time the cat/ dog become stressed with your behavior and your lack of caring for their needs that you once provided them to gain their trust they may still stay around but they begin to look elsewhere to fulfill their needs and to feel they’re loved and to be treated like they’re needed you begin to take notice and you start to try and attempt to gain their trust back but its already broken.

You sit and think what happened, why did the one you once cared of and provided for left you or became distant from you. Sometimes we miss all the opportunities to fix things but ignore them and try to label the problem on someone else and don’t take credibility for your actions. We’re often the fault of our own chaos we want to blame others because we don’t want to face the reality that we have a problem. The first step in fixing the problem is realizing what it is and admitting what the problem is our ego and pride gets in the way of this and prevents us from fixing the true issue even if it’s within ourselves.

In order to keep the trust of a human or cat/dog once you’ve established their trust don’t just stop continue doing all the things you did to gain it, don’t your anger out on those who didn’t inflict it leave it at the door once you enter your home don’t bring it with you, Your companions are not your enemies they’re there for you; one will not stay though where they’re not appreciated.
