Nui nā pōpoki makemake i ka mint a honi lākou iā lākou iho ma luna o nā mea kanu, ʻai pū i nā ʻāpana o ia mea a moe pololei i loko o ka mea kanu. Hoʻomaha maikaʻi nā pōpoki, akā hiki ke ʻike ʻia i nā pōpoki makua. Hōʻike liʻiliʻi nā holoholona kahiko a me nā pōpoki ʻōpio i ka mea kanu. ʻO ia ke kumu o ka hoʻopuka ʻana o ka mea kanu i kahi ʻala e like me kekahi mau pacifiers sex cat. Hana ʻo Nepetalactone, kahi pheromone, i ka ʻōnaehana nerve a pēlā e hoʻopuka ai i kahi hopena ʻona a hoʻomaha paha. ʻO nā pōpoki makaʻu hoʻomaha hoʻomaha, ʻōwili a puni i nā mea kanu, purr, a pāʻani me nā lau a hiki i ka wā e ʻai ai lākou.
ʻO ka mea kupaianaha naʻe, hiki wale kēia hopena ma kahi o 50% o nā pōpoki āpau. Manaʻo nā kānaka ʻepekema i kēia lā ʻo ka "hoʻoliʻoli" e pili ana i ka catnip he hoʻoilina. No ka mea ʻaʻole ʻino ka catnip, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka make ʻana me ka hiki ʻole. Hiki i nā pilikia ke ala mai, akā naʻe, inā hauʻoli nui ka pōpoki i ka mea kanu a pinepine pinepine. Inā ʻaʻa ʻia ka "lāʻau lapaʻau cat" iā ia, hiki iā ia ke alakaʻi i ka huhū i kekahi mau holoholona, e hōʻike ana iā ia iho i ka huhū nui, ka hoʻoulu ʻana a i ʻole ka huelo nui. No laila, pono ʻoe e hāʻawi i ka mint i kekahi manawa ma ke ʻano he "kūikawā" i ʻole e loaʻa nā hōʻailona withdrawal ma kahi mua.

Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka mea hope e hana i nā mea pāʻani ʻoi aku ka hoihoi. Akā, pono ʻoe e hōʻoia ʻaʻole i nui ka waiʻona i nā kulu, no ka mea e pōʻino kēia i ka wā lōʻihi.

He mea nui ia no ka hoʻokumu ʻana i ke koko a no laila he mea nui ia no ke kino o ka pōpoki. ʻO ka ʻatikala hou aʻe, ʻo ka ʻai ʻana i ka mauʻu e kākoʻo i ka paʻa ʻana o ka lauoho i moni ʻia i loko o ka ʻōpū a kōkua pū i ke kaʻina hana ʻāʻī. Kōkua ka mauʻu ʻaʻole e hoʻopiha i ka ʻāpana digestive me ka nui o ka lauoho a pēlā e pale ai i ka pipili.
Nui nā ʻano mauʻu popoki a ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea kanu i loaʻa ma ke kālepa akā ʻaʻole ʻōlelo ʻia. I mea e ho'āʻo ai inā kūpono ka mauʻu no kāu mau tigers, pono ʻoe e hana iā ʻoe iho. ʻAʻole pono ka paʻakikī a i ʻole ka ʻoi o nā lau a ʻaʻole hoʻi e pua nā pua. Hiki i kēia mau mea ke hōʻoki i ka ʻāʻī a i ʻole ka ʻōpū o ka pōpoki, a i ka hihia ʻino loa, hiki ke alakaʻi i ka make inā ʻaʻole ʻike koke ʻia ka lau o ka mauʻu. Inā ʻike ʻia ka nāwaliwali o kāu pōpoki ma hope o ka ʻai ʻana i ka mauʻu pōpoki, ʻaʻole ʻai hou, a kihe a hamo i kona ihu, pono ʻoe e ʻike koke i kāu kauka. ʻO ka hope, pono ʻoe e hōʻoia ʻaʻole i hoʻomoʻi ʻia ka mea kanu a mālama ʻia me nā pesticides.
Nā mea kanu i manaʻo ʻia
