Indlela yokuqeqesha ikati ukuthwala?

Ukwesaba ukuthwalwa ekatini kuzalwa ngokuhlangana kwalo. Cabanga ngokuthi kusekelwe kuphi "ukuxhumana" kwesilwane sakho esifuywayo nento embi. Ngokunokwenzeka, lokhu ukuvakasha okungajabulisi kudokotela wezilwane, okuhambisana nezinqubo ezingajabulisi, imihlangano nezilwane ezingajwayelekile (futhi hhayi njalo ezinobungane), iphunga elimnandi elingavamile. Mhlawumbe isilwane sasendle sesivele sinesipiliyoni esibi sokuhamba, esafakwa enkumbulweni yakhe. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abanikazi abaningi bavala amakati kubathwali ngenkathi behlanza. Izilwane ezifuywayo ezikhiyiwe, ukuzwa ukubhonga kwesicoci se-vacuum cleaner futhi zibona ukuthi azikwazi ukuzivikela, zingaba nengcindezi enkulu.

Amakati esaba abathwali ngoba abathwali cishe njalo behlotshaniswa nento engathandeki futhi esabekayo: umsindo, iphunga elingavamile, ukuvinjelwa kokunyakaza, futhi ngezinye izikhathi ubuhlungu bomzimba. Ukuze ulunyule isilwane esifuywayo ukuze wesabe, udinga ukuphazamisa abangane bakhe ababi, esikhundleni sabo kwabajabulisa kakhulu. Kungcono ukwakha ubudlelwane obuhle nokuphatha kusengaphambili. Kwenziwa kanjani?

Okokuqala, sikhipha umthwali ekhabetheni elimnyama, elesabekayo futhi sithole indawo yalo emkhakheni wokubuka ikati. Kungani senza lokhu? Uma umthwali esegumbini, ikati aliboni futhi alikhumbuli. Kodwa lapho ihora X lisondela futhi umnikazi ekhipha into esabekayo, ikati, lapho seliyibonile, ngokushesha likhumbula okwenzeka kulo futhi liqala ukucabanga into enjengale: “Kunento engathandeki kakhulu engilindele manje, njengangaleso sikhathi. Kumele ngenze konke okusemandleni ami ukugwema lokhu!”. Ngempela, ngemva kwemizuzu embalwa umnikazi uyahamba efuna ikati, uyafihla futhi amelane, kodwa usaqhutshelwa kumphathi, futhi isimo esicindezelayo siphinda futhi.

Kodwa uma ushiya isithwali sivuliwe khona kanye ekamelweni, ngokushesha noma kamuva ikati lizoba nesithakazelo kulo, futhi lizoqala ukulihlola. Yiqiniso, uma ikati selivele lisaba umthwali, kuzodingeka uhambe kumaqhinga amancane ukuze usize umuntu ojwayele isilwane esifuywayo nesitha esidala. Futhi umsizi wakho ongcono kakhulu kule ndaba yizinto ezinhle.

Thola ukuphatha okukhethekile kwamakati (akukona nje kuphela okumnandi kakhulu, kodwa futhi kunempilo kakhulu) bese ufaka izingcezu ezimbalwa kusithwali. Ungadangali uma ikati liziba lesi senzo futhi liqhubeka lingahambi, ligwema ngenkani into esabekayo. Thatha isikhathi sakho, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ucindezela ikati kumthwali, mnike isikhathi nenkululeko yokwenza. 

Ukuze udonse ukunaka kwekati lakho kumthwali, ungafaka i-catnip kuwo.

Kungase kuthathe izinsuku ezimbalwa ukuze isilwane siqonde:Akukho ukusongela, akekho ongihlukumezayo, abahambi nami ndawo“. Ngemva kwalokho, umhlaseli omncane uzoba nelukuluku lokwazi ukuthi le nto yenzani esandleni sakhe nokuthi ungayisebenzisa kanjani.

Uma isilwane esifuywayo sibambezeleka kumphathi, mkhuthaze. Nikeza ukudla okukodwa ngesikhathi ngezikhathi ezimfushane. Khona-ke isilwane sizokwazi ukuqonda ukuthi kumnandi ukuhlala kumphathi wenethiwekhi.

Kungcono ukubeka umthwali endaweni lapho isilwane sivame ukuvakashela khona, isibonelo, hhayi kude nombhede wakhe noma emhubheni. Uma ubeka umthwali ekhoneni elikude, ngokuvamile elingazange likuthole ukunakwa kwekati, khona-ke isilwane sakho sizoqala ukusishaya indiva ngentshiseko eyengeziwe.  

Kunconywa ukufundisa ikati ukuthi lithathwe kusukela ebuntwaneni, lapho izinhlangano ezingalungile zingakalungiswa kuye. Abanikazi abaningi baze babeke umbhede othokomele kumthwali, futhi isilwane sabo esinelisekile siyakujabulela ukugijima kuso ngaphandle kwezinkumbulo zezindiza kanye nemitholampilo yezilwane. Esikhundleni sombhede, ungafaka okuthile ngephunga lakho noma amathoyizi ayintandokazi yekati lakho kumthwali. 

Ungakhohlwa, umgomo wethu oyinhloko ukukhombisa isilwane sakho ukuthi ukuthwala akwethusi, kodwa kumnandi futhi kuyasebenza. Futhi-ke, ikati lakho lizothanda ukuthola izibiliboco ezihlwabusayo kulo ngezikhathi ezithile!

Manje ake ucabange ukuthi ukuphila bekungaba lula kangakanani uma ungasadingeki ukubamba ikati eliphikisayo bese uliphusha esitsheni imizuzu emi-5 ngaphambi kokuba uhambe. Isilwane esifuywayo esijwayele ukusithwala futhi esisibona njengendawo yokuphumula siyohlala kuso ngenjabulo. Ungakhohlwa ukumdumisa nokumphatha kahle, ngoba kwasiza kakhulu kule ndaba!

Uhambo olujabulisayo!
