Living alone can be challenging, especially when it comes to pet care. While it's possible to take good care of pets while living alone, there are times when travel becomes unavoidable. Leaving pets behind can be worrisome, so what's the best solution? A Japanese netizen shared her experience with her pet hamster, which turned into an unexpected adventure.
The Journey Begins
During a holiday, the netizen decided to visit her parents, taking her hamster along. She packed the hamster's cage, thinking it would be better than leaving it alone at home, especially since winter requires careful temperature control for the hamster's comfort. However, upon arrival at her parents' house, the hamster displayed extreme distress.
The Unexpected Twist
The reason for the hamster's distress soon became apparent: her parents had three cats. Initially, she thought the cats and the hamster could coexist peacefully, but the cats' intense stares made the hamster extremely fearful. The netizen realized that bringing the hamster might have been more stressful than leaving it behind.
The Reaction
Netizens sympathized with the situation, commenting that it was like a horror movie and expressing concern about the stress it might cause the hamster. Fortunately, the netizen quickly noticed the problem and separated the hamster from the cats to prevent any harm. However, she didn't want to confine the cats either, so she decided to return home with the hamster.
Conclusion
In the end, the netizen chose to prioritize her pet's comfort and well-being, ensuring a happy and stress-free holiday for both. This story highlights the challenges of pet care during travel and the importance of considering all factors when making decisions about our pets' safety and happiness.
