- "Cat Behaviour"
| Cat Body Language and Vocal Sounds It's important to know the body language of cats in order to understand them. When a cat lifts and constantly shakes its paws or rapidly swishes its tail, he's feeling disgusted or agitated at something. If you see a cat kneading (pressing its paws downwards) against a blanket, carpet, sofa, or you, it is certainly feeling relaxed and contented. And scientists say to humans, the pleasure of this action is like humans getting a massage. Cats always rub the top of their head or body on their owner, or an object. That's a sense of affection and security. Sometimes, a cat would walk and suddenly fall on its side. That means it is not seeking attention and doesn't want to be disturbed. When a cat gives a low growl or snorts, he is feeling angry or frustrated at something. A happy cat would meow at a low tone and the tone would go up and back down. When a cat is in distress, it would give out a loud and high-pitched meow or repeated meows. |

Cat Eating Patterns Other than their normal diet of canned food and snacks, cats eat grass or leaves of certain plants to help in digestion. Read up our article on how to feed your cat the right way. Cat Social Behavior Cats are scared of humans, but with proper care and affection, they will develop trust and love to the humans who take care of them. Cats are very friendly animals; treat a cat with love the same way you treat your loved ones and they will give you the same, or even more. Cats have a strong escape or defensive technique. If you try to corner a cat or catch it, you will notice that he would be in an escape stance and would respond quickly and promptly to your actions. |
