Problems with the litter box
Conflicts between pets and changes in the home can lead to urinary problems, which can be solved with a special litter box, diets, pheromones, supplements and medication, but you should consult your vet to determine the most effective solution. If you have several cats do not place the litter boxes too close together and check that they are clean enough; if this does not work either then try changing them.
Thick scratch
Cats scratch to mark their territory, do their nails and play, redirecting the behaviour to scratching posts and special toys can help to protect furniture and your hands. You can also use pheromones to calm stress and anxiety.
It bites anything
If the cat tends to bite everything, and you rule out the possibility that it is just playing, then perhaps the cat has chewing problems. In this case, consult your vet to eliminate possible dental problems. Otherwise, the behaviour may be caused by boredom, nutritional deficiency or pent-up aggression. Pheromones and supplements can help reduce the problem.
Aggressive cat
To solve aggressive cat behaviour, it is important to identify the cause. Stress, anxiety or medical problems can be the root of the problem. Avoiding unnecessary punishment and completely ignoring the cat's aggressive behaviour can reduce tension. Pheromones, supplements, medication or special diets can be used. Also, offering the cat toys that encourage exercise and catnip can focus its energy elsewhere.
It licks itself too much
Chronic licking in cats is usually caused by pain, stress or anxiety. However, a cat in pain may lick a painful area of the body, causing unusual hair loss or wound formation. To solve the problem, in addition to consulting a vet, you can try to create a safe and secure environment to reduce the cat's stress and anxiety.
Excessive vocalizations
To solve your cat's excessive vocalisations, provide it with something to keep it busy at night and more exercise during the day. Also, do not immediately give in to your cat's requests as they may encourage further vocalisations.

The world is beautiful because it is diverse, is a phrase we have heard a thousand times, and this is true not only for human beings, but also for animals.
On our planet, the variety of fauna is far greater than that of human beings, who are basically almost all the same. On the other hand, in the most remote parts of the Earth, but not only there, there are absolutely unique species of animals, so much so that they even enter Guinness World Record. Birds, fish, mammals, so many characteristics that make them absolutely recognizable, and also very rare.
