The Nature of Cats

 

While cats can't talk, they are extremely good at communicating with us.

They purr to let us know that they are happy.

There are other reasons why cats will purr.

A mother will know that her kittens are in good health by their purring.

Kittens also purr when they want adult cats to play with them.

There are other times when cats will purr, such as when a superior cat is trying to approach another cat in a friendly manner.

Cats are very clean animals; even stray animals will regularly groom themselves by licking their fur.

Male cats will also lick female cats when courting, and another cat will lick its kittens to help stimulate excretion.

Cats also like to mark their territory so that other cats know whose property they are on.

They will generally do this by backing up to an object, tree or plant where they believe another cat has been and spraying urine that will leave a pungent scent that other cats will notice.

Cats will also mark their territory by rubbing the corners of their mouths and temples against objects, as these areas have scent glands.

Sometimes cats might even do this when they feel threatened, and this can happen when there is more than one cat in the family, and one of those cats is trying to assert itself.

In such circumstances, you can have a problem where the cats might spray inside the house.

Unfortunately, this sometimes becomes difficult, as you feel like reprimanding the cat. In reality, assuring the cat has your support might be the fastest solution to stop this from happening.

Most cats are quite happy to be on their own and often prefer the company of humans to that of other cats.

They can, in fact, get quite jealous if they think another cat is getting their share of the attention.
