I've had abandoned dogs like this too. I can always tell when a dog has been handled since birth and one who has never been or rarely touched by a human.
Squirting with water does the trick too.
And has the advantage of not getting cat hair in your mouth.
Cats simply have an internal instinct that they can’t control which is what causes them to become physically interested in anything that moves.These traits are uncontrollable and genetically acquired.So the cats themselves really aren’t to blame for anything.The genetically acquired instincts originally came from wild cats such as panthers, tigers, or lions who usually had no human contact in their entire lives.That’s why the physical violence from instinct is usually inflicted on us humans.Also and lastly there may be nothing else to inflict instinct on, especially if you live alone.
