It has long been known that cats are independent animals. The nature of the animal may not be as complaisant as you expected.
To find a common language with her, you need to pay attention more often and learn to understand the actions of a cat.
What does cat meow mean?
Often you can hear complaints that the cat gets its owners with meow. It turns out that with their sounds they can act on the subconscious of people and thereby achieve what they want. Most often they meow when they are hungry. But it happens that by this they show their poor health and ask for help.
So that the animal does not interfere with unpleasant sounds, it is necessary to create comfortable conditions for it. Feed well, show that your pet is not indifferent to you. Take the cat in your arms, caress, talk to him. Maybe he just needs attention. If the meow continues, attention should be paid to his health. Therefore, a visit to the veterinarian should not be postponed.
Why do cats rub on their feet?
Many people believe that rubbing a cat on its owner’s feet means a greeting or a request. In fact, it leaves its smell in this way. By this she tries to show to other animals that this person belongs to her pack. On the head of cats, in the temporal part and at the mouth, a specific substance is secreted, with which they mark their person. They also do this in order to feel comfortable and recognize their own and others.
Some cats in this way relieve fatigue from the legs of their owner. In this case, friction on the legs occurs when the person is already lying down.
What does scratching mean?
Typically, feline scratching is often regarded as aggressive behavior. But, this does not always indicate the bad temper of the animal. If the kitten is small, then this is quite acceptable. After all, he thus cognizes the world. Yet these “cute creatures” are predators by nature.
But sometimes even adult cats strive to bite or scramble their master. In this case, your pet is very highly developed hunting instinct. He perceives your moving legs and arms as "prey." To satisfy the desire of the "hunter" purchase special toys for him.
Sometimes curtains and furniture suffer from scratches. Cats do this not out of harm. When scratched on the surface, they remove the old nail flakes. And they also support the muscles of the legs in tone. Spoiled furniture and curtains, for them not pampering, but a necessity. Therefore, it is worth thinking about buying a scratching post.
Tail movements
With the help of a tail, cats express emotions. If the tail is raised upwards by about forty-five degrees and starts moving sideways, then the animal is in a bad mood. During a fright, the tail is straight, and the hair on it is raised.
If the tip starts to tremble, then the animal is interested in something. And if he is direct and often trembling - this is a manifestation of friendliness.
Choosing a kitten
The habits of all cats are generally similar. But what about the nature of the animal, if it is a small kitten? How to determine who we choose for ourselves?
There is a theory according to which hormones influence their development. They have an effect both on the body and on behavior.Therefore, these two factors are connected, which means that the kitten must be chosen according to the expression of its muzzle.
Also, when choosing, you need to pay attention to parents. Since kittens are constantly with their mother during growth, they manage to adopt basic skills.
Scientists have proven that cats - fathers affect habits and preferences, even in the embryonic period. Therefore, if possible, look at the parents.
The largest role in the character of the cat is played by the breed. Therefore, first of all, you need to choose the right breed. The period of socialization of the kitten passes in the first four months. All the skills that he can get will remain for life. Therefore, the owner’s task is to teach his pet everything necessary. And in the end, get the maximum positive energy and the joy of communicating with this independent being.
