- In this video, we will talk about 14 strange things cats do and explain the meaning behind them.
Begging for food but not eating it
Your cat may beg for food, give it some sniffs and walk away. This can indicate your cat’s desire for attention and love. Recent studies from University of Vienna have shown that cats associate food with affection. To cats, feeding them means loving them. So if your cat needs some attention or love, they just ask for some snacks.
Why cats sudden jump around
Does your cat suddenly run around the house and then suddenly stop?
This behavior is often due to pent-up energy that suddenly overflows.
Cats are natural predators, and domestic cats retain this instinct to a certain extent. At times, they will feel the desire to hunt and practice their natural instincts.
Why cats lick you
Cats may lick you because they may want to show you affection and love. They may even want to groom you.
But when a cat licks you or themselves excessively, it is often a sign of stress or anxiety.
In cats, licking is also a way of marking territory. Your cat wants the other cats or animals to know that this is her area.
Why cats bury their poop
You may associate a cat’s burying feces behavior to cleanness, but the reasons are more complex than that.
In the wild, cats cover their feces to eliminate odors and prevent attracting the attention of predators.
Just as covering their poop, cats may bury any uneaten food to hide their trail and prevent attracting the attention of predators or potential preys.
Why cats roll over when they see you
If your cat lays on their back and exposes their belly, it’s their way of saying hello to you.
A cat’s stomach is a very sensitive part of their body as this region protects the most vital organs. So if your cat is laying on their back next to you with their belly exposed, it is a sign that your cat trusts you and feels safe around you.
Why cats scratch
Cats scratch to remove the dead outer layer of their claws, or to burn off some energy or stretch their bodies.
cats also scratch to mark their territory by leaving both a visual mark and scent mark.
Why cats ignore you
Cats are very independent creatures. They don’t like to be smothered with affection and they need some personal space or quiet time every now and then.
Arched back
While some people think an arched back indicates aggression, it doesn’t.
A cat who displays this posture is usually frightened or threatened. By arching their back and puffing up, your cat is trying to appear bigger and more threatening to their opponent.
Why cats bite you
Cats may bite to stop unwanted action or behaviors.
Cats also bite to show affection. But only with gentle and more controlled nibbles.
Of course, a cat’s bite can also indicate aggression, but rest assured that you’ll know when your cat bites you out of aggression versus when it gives you a love nibble.
Cat’s biting is also a form of communication to ask for something. If a cat nips you and then tries to lead you to an activity, this could be the reason.
Why your cat sleep on top of you
Cats like temperatures of 20 degrees higher than human’s ideal temperature. So when the ambient temperature is colder than this, your cat is going to look for a nice warm area to maintain their temperature. And your body is good source of heat.
Sleeping on top of a trusted human gives a cat a sense of security, as well as comfort to sleep peacefully.
Cats also sleep on you to show you affection and love!
Why cats’ pupils dilate
By dilating their pupils, cats allow even tiny amounts of light into their eyes so they can see better in the dark. During the day, cats contract their pupils.
Cats also use their eyes as part of a complex body language to communicate their mood and health. If you cat has dilated pupils, your cat could be stressed, anxious, excited or in fear.
Why cats stare at us
If your cat meows while looking at you in the eye, they may just be letting you know they’re hungry.
Cats also stare to show affection. Especially when a cat looks at you with half closed eyelids and slowly blinking.
If they feel scared, stressed out, anxious, cold, depressed, cold, or in pain, they may stare at to seek your support.
Why cats vomit
Cats vomit for a lot of reasons. The main causes range from incorrect diet or eating something inedible (like string), to allergies, infections, urinary tract disease, diabetes or even a sudden change in a cat’s diet
Another reason for a cat’s vomit is hairball.
To avoid the formation of the hairballs, you can brush your cat once a day and add more fiber to their diet.
Some people think it's ok for a cat to vomit once a week, but it's not.
Why Some Cats Hate Belly Rubs
Some cats don’t like belly rubs because their stomach area is the most sensitive part of their body. Their soft underbelly protects their most vital organs. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

My cat was about to give birth, and she came and grabbed my hand gently with her teeth and made me follow her to the "nest" we'd made together. I sat with her for about 5 hours as she had her babies 😸
@Doub Clashes "nest", the nest that they made together
@Doub Clashes The preposition of that particular clause was "the nest", and the gerund phrase ("we'd made") followed immediately after.
I'm not sure how you could have so completely misconstrued my meaning, but I'm pretty sure whatever lead to this is why humanity can't have nice things. 😸

I got in my car one night to leave for work, pulled out of the driveway and didn’t make it 100 feet around the first corner and stopped to pick up 2 baby kittens on the road. Both white and orange, almost identical twins, and immediately turned around and took them home to my wife and left for work. Come home the next morning and they both laid with me for hours. Now over a year later, they’re the first 2 to greet me when I get home, they lay in my lap or on my chest for a good while, they love bite me, slowly blink at me, all kinds of things. They’re my boys. My kids. I love Jekyll and Hyde more than I thought I ever would. I’d do anything for them.
I'm jealous of you and such nice names.
They know you've saved them.
What a touching story that is..
Jekyll and hyde.... You named them after the characters in the strange case of dr. Jekyll and mr. Hyde??? Thats sweet
That’s funny. I was at work one night and there was this kitten meowing and once she saw my she ran up to me and would not leave my alone I tried getting her to stay there but she just kept running back to me and would lay in my lap even when driving. I tried keeping her but my current cat didn’t like her but I found her a good home. A few years ago me and my girlfriend had an apartment together and this one kitten we found would run up to us as soon as we got home, our cat would clean her like it was her own kitten it was so cute but then one day she was just gone…have no idea what happened to her but I hope she’s okay
Who else went to go pet their cat after this video? 🤣
Awww my cat is sooooo frigging awesome loves to be hugged 🤗 😻😸

i wish i had one):
BIf you have ears to hear, hear and understand you are probably one of GODS lost sheep that needs to be found there is this hole in your heart and you tried many times and many things and many ways to fill it and still are but it’s not working and it keeps getting bigger and bigger you would be around multiple people and still feel lonely and work so hard to take those bad thoughts away etc but let me tell you JESUS is the one who can fill that whole in your heart JESUS is that missing piece you’ve been looking for, that peace that’s never ending that true love and joy and happiness it’s in JESUS not of this world but of the kingdom of heaven and if you want to accept him in your heart all you have to do is believe in the gospel A-admit that you’re a sinner and that you need forgiveness, B-Believe that JESUS CHRIST died for your sins and rose again, and C-Confess your faith in JESUS CHRIST and his lordship over your life and you will be saved and this amazing feeling is not a drug it won’t last a couple hours but forever eternally bc it is not of this world but of GOD who sits on the throne of heaven forever and ever HALLELUJAH
@@Luvkioo This kinda bs makes people think Christianity is weird ASF.
Like you're so out context and you just sound crazy. And this is coming from a Christian
I had an odd cat that actually showed guilt. If we were playing and he accidentally scratched me he would run and hide for about 20 minutes. Then he'd come and show an abundance of love to apologize.
1 of my cats also shows guilt, like they accidentally drop something or trow up a hair ball I have to confurt her end show her it's okay 💖💖
Sounds like the cat was abused...
He was 5 weeks old when we got him. He had to figure out how to cat on his own. And his best friend was a hamster.
I could always tell which cat pissed on the sofa because it’s always the one that’s right up my butt while I’m cleaning the guilty party will always be right around you trying to help
@@lausine3741 😭😭😭😭 What kinda cats you guys have?😂😂😂
My pregnant cat woke me up and meowed for me to follow her into my closet. She had adopted part of it as her nest and let me know she wanted me there while she gave birth. It was such an honor!
@One of eight billion you don't know their situation at that point of time. Chill out dude.
@One of eight billion I'm not being a gatekeeper though? I'm just saying you don't know this person's situation and why her cat was pregnant or HOW she got pregnant. Spaying and neutering pets costs a lot and when you're in a tight place for a small bit financially, but that doesn't mean you're incapable of caring for a pet.
🥺 sounds like the two of you have a very beautiful and special relationship. Love to hear, thank you for sharing.
@@fenriswolfo a pregnant cat can easily have 5-7 kittens in one litter, and as someone who fosters it can be quite expensive to care for that many cats for 8-10 weeks or longer. Spay/neuter is much cheaper and the only responsible option.
@@bellona6356 oh I'm not against fixing your pets. I'm just saying at the time of the cat becoming pregnant, affording a spay probably wasn't financially possible. I'm waiting until spring so I can get my girl spayed, so trust me I know how important fixing your babies is ^^
My cat came in and is like: “Ah finally you’re studying my king-like species, good job peasant.”
About cat's vomiting, another reason you missed is they will throw up if they eat too fast. I have a Cat that lost his mother very young and was not weaned properly. He threw up daily and had test run on him and his diet changed numerous times until the Vet witnessed that he basically just inhaled his food. We got him a special dish that forces him to slow down eating and he is much better.
My kitty is going through that right now. Poor baby keeps vomiting and I'm assuming it's because he inhales his food like he hasn't eaten in a year. I'm glad to know those special dishes work, I think I'm gonna get him one so he'll stop making himself sick. He's a rescue so I don't know about his early years, he either lost his mother or he's just a hungry little idiot 🤧

We have about 4 cats in the house and I noticed that one of them is particularly attached to me. He comes to me whenever I am busy doing something and stays there as if to keep me company. Sometimes, I am pleasantly surprised to see that he goes even to places that I wouldn't expect him to be, like when I was repairing our ceiling or roof. Really amazes me!
My heart has officially been filled with love and affection for cats.. And I'm a dog person!!
same with my husband. he wasn't excited about getting our kitty. but he adoressss that little guy.

My cat actually tried to pull me once with her teeth to where she wanted me. She was pregnant and we were expecting her to go into labour and so she did... in the middle of the night. I was woken up to her nibbling and pulling on my cheek of all things, she had never done that before. As soon as I sobered up I was able to realise she actually wanted me to go to where she chose to give birth. And there I was, half awake, helping her with what ever I thought I could. Since it took a while, there were times I had to get up and leave for a moment. That was not tolerated. She would spring out, run behind me, grab me by anything she could reach and pulled me back until she was sure *we're* done.
Omg same happened to me. Sadly all of her babies were still borns.
@Wise Man I get it more like he was feeling sleepy due to the interrupted sleep. Most of the time you're not quick and alert during night time, so it takes some time to get used to the sudden awakening
@@Sada-yf6xh 😭😭😭😭😭
@@nardalis4832 that’s how I eventually interpreted it too. First when I read that part though (needing to “sober up”), I thought the same thing .. like wtf😠. But then I read on and it seemed he/she was more referring to “sobering up” as in fully waking from a very sound sleep in the middle of the night .. ?
@Wise Man Just fyi, to "sober up" is more of an expression, it doesn't necessarily mean someone was drunk. In this case, it meant they were woken up from probably a deep sleep and didn't know what was going on, so "sobering up" just means becoming more awake and more aware.
One of my cats loves belly rubs, the other not so much and is temperamental about it. It's amazing how they do have a way of telling you exactly what they want from you.
Yes, i think is pretty easy to understand them
When I was a small boy. I had a one eye street cat who my grandparents had follow and adopted after watching him use a cross walk in a small town located in Lowa, he waited for the red and walked across like any other people. His name was Pepe and he loss his eye to a feline cancer which I forget its name but moving on.
So I'm currently 21 years old, back in 2000 when I was born my parents were going through some tuff times and had to live in my grandparents basement until had the money to buy a bigger house for me and my then two year old brother, Pepe " Big Cheese" Strain is a cat who held unconditional love for all around him ontop of being a fat kitty he had taken beneath his paws three abandoned barn kittens all females, by the names of Boo... Trooper... and Pudge all black cats who mother had left when when they're 4 weeks old.
Pepe had become something like a father too these three kitten, and took care of them like if they're his own. Trooper being the closest with him when I was born upon the first day home from the hospital Pepe had never left my. He would sleep with me in my crib, or lay next to my jumper but most of all back when I was growing up I was a very timid sickly boy who was terrified by the world around him; but Pepe help teach me a important life lesson Dare to be Adventurous. Ever I was scared of the monster under the bed Pepe would always check it for me, when I came come crying my eyes out because my bullies at school when too far around agin he was there to comfort me. When I feel like I couldn't go on any longer that my kidney illness was too much I remember my little kitty with the single eye who keep on trucking through all of life's hardships and never back down from the challenge, because always at the end if the day pepe held the same Adventurous spirit no matter how bad things got even until the end of his life when loss the battle against his own cancer he always love those around him and inspired me to never give no matter how much it hurts now because that pain is only temporary and there always a silver lining.
I know for a fact I wouldn't be the man I'm today without him, and I'm thankful for moments I had with him. I say this to anyone who feels like you can't go on any longer, it's okay... I know it's mean seem bad but remember that your not alone, because you were never alone there is someone who will always to have your back. If my little eye cat could beat the odds so can you too, just don't be afraid to ask for help along the way.
I love your post, reminds me of my ginger cat , Trump who has only one good eye. He doesn’t let anything stop him and he has inspired me when I am having a bad day with my MS. My disease can make it almost impossible to walk without falling but I look at Trump who just keeps loving this adventure called life.

I rescued my Boo 1.5 years ago. She was covered in fleas and on the streets by me and a wee little baby (vet says about 3-4 months when found). She is extremely intelligent-possibly the most intelligent pet I have ever had. She quickly learned how to give high fives and sit on command. She also cries and howls and has major separation anxiety so leaving her makes her cry. She follows me from room to room and literally taught herself how to play fetch. I kid you not she wakes me up with gentle bites trying to play fetch with her!!!! She legit fetches the toy and brings it back. I have never heard of a cat doing that. She also comes and cuddles with me on command. I am absolutely obsessed with her. She is like a catdog except less work than a dog. The only strange thing is she never covers her poop in the litter box. I tried teaching her but she hasn’t learned. Very strange. Anyway I LOVE CATS! Give me the kitties right meow!!!
My cat rescued himself! He strangely appeared on my front porch on a rainy and kind of cold late one evening about 9 years ago. He was underweight, wet and shivering. What a pitiful sight to behold! Knowing that my husband was skeptical of cats it wasn't without trepidation that
I suggested we could "foster" this young cat...until....
Well, I guess you can deduct what I'm trying to say...
I, myself was not a cat fancier but, well... I can't imagine my life without him. He came into my life at a point of desperation and loss. My one and only son had recently suddenly died. Not only did he save his own life but in many ways mine, too. Some time later I found out through a neighbor that he was an identical twin, of which he was the runt of the liter. So much so, that his liter-mates, his mom and specially his twin brother were trying to kill him by excessive fighting and starving him out. Even his mother rejected him trying to nurse. No wonder he was so skinny, poor thing.
Now he's happy as can be having a human mommy and yes, a human daddy, too. This little soul is so good that about a year and a half after he saved himself and was healthy, he went over to where he was born ( trying to make things right, I guess) and he found himself. In a fight for his life. (He goes out twice a day to our yard,, relieves himself and then he's back at the door scratching to be back inside. I guess he saw our dog doing this and mimicked the behavior with positive came results. He's so smart. ) He came back 2 days later bitten and scratched all over and specially one eye and ear. The vet put him on antibiotics and something for the pain. His right ear still bears a gap of tissue where a hunk of flesh was just ripped right off. HE HAS NEVER EVER GONE BACK AGAIN. Guess family is what YOU
make it out to be. 🤩😍❤❤😻😻😸😸🐈😻😺😸😸🐈
5 years back I was living with my parents while I got some issues under control, and one day while they were getting ready to walk their dogs I decided, spur of the moment, to go with them. Keep in mind that one of said issues is moderate agoraphobia, so this should give you some idea of the infrequency of my attendance. Anyhoo, we had to go to a local pet sore to purchase more dog food, and once we got there I went inside to get out of the heat for a little bit. First thing I see is a cage with a small black cat, and for some reason he was sleeping in his litter. I went over to check it out and a sign said that he's 4-years-old and blind. He'd been available for awhile, but on account of him being a black cat, not a kitten, and blind, no one was interested. I asked if I could see him, and one of the workers got him out of his cage and handed him to me (the litter had just been replaced, I learned), Immediately he starts snuggling into my shoulder and neck, and I knew right then that I had to get him. A few days later I went back to pick him up, and he's been my shadow ever since. I named him Murdock on account of him having absolutely no fear and, well, navigating extremely well considering his disability. He's asleep on my lap right now, and he is in no small way responsible for my vastly improved mental health. I don't believe in fate, but it truly does seem like we were meant to meet. I love the little guy.
Cats are so smart and can be so sweet. Don't know what I would do without her company.She is such fun!!!!
My cat loves me for sure she lies on her back and wriggles like a puppy when she sees me. I rescued her 5 year ago from 9+ months in a cage in a large Pet Store.. the rescue group placed her there.i was across the large store and she started screaming and screaming and she stopped when I came over. The teenagers there were looking at kittens. I had lost a male black kitty 3.5 years earlier at 17. I was still waiting bit she picked me so I went back to the per Fair the next day and applied for her and of course got her. I am not young and very stable with a home. I ADORE her she is the sweetest cat I ever have known and I have known many. She slept oy head the first week,very uncomfortable. Now she sleeps pressed against my side. Her only bad habit is putting tons of teeth holes in certain kinds of plastic like shower curtain liners. She doesn't even knock things down or off tables, shelves and counters and She picked me. I hadn't wanted another black cat she is a Tuxedo but she is fantastic.
That’s beautiful. Kismet.

Sleeping is also a cat's bonding time. If they sleep near you or on you, they are bonding. It's why you see cats snuggle with dogs and other creatures they share their homes with. I learned a lot from the show "my cat from hell".
That guy is awesome watched alot of episodes,showed myself how really ignorant I was and probably others might be to a cats complex psych and behavior behind these misunderstood majestic creatures.
I guess my cats are just bonding, but when you have 3 of them on your neck while in the bed and you are fighting to breathe it's not fun 😆😆😆😆😂😂🤣

Great advice 👍 My cat is sleeping in front of me now. Is that Galaxy Pheonix aka my cat from hell? He has some refresher stuff on u tube.
We had one cat who seemed to "break the mold" of cat behavior.
He was a very large (but not at all overweight) Seal Point Persian and we named him Gronkowski (Gronk or Gronky for short😏😁).
He liked to sit like a human with his back legs out in front of him like a person in a recliner, and his front paws just kinda chilling in his lap (he would often cover his kibbles with one paw 😄). He was over-the-top affectionate. He loved to cuddle all the time and would place his face next to my cheek on one side of my face and hold my other cheek gently with his paw. Despite being healthy in every way, he really wasn't at all agile like a "normal" cat. Our other cats would climb and jump everywhere and he'd be loping along behind like a floofy bear or something. He was so gentle as well as being a very polite gentleman and had a quiet, calm meow.
We love and have loved all of our cats immensely but he was a special experience and we all miss him very much💕
awww what a funny little gronk
That’s so sweet💙

I have two cats, one who was raised by humans from a kitten until now, and one who was a stray after her family abandoned her when she got pregnant. Merlin, my male cat who has been around humans all his life, is super duper affectionate, and rolls onto his back for belly rubs when he sees us because when we got him, we had a dog and that's what our dog would do, so merlin would do that as well. Suki we got after her kittens were weaned from a friend who rescued her when they found her. Suki was extremely food aggressive, wouldn't let us hold her and grooms with her eyes open. After four years though, Suki lets me hold her and love on her, and she isn't food aggressive anymore, and will roll onto her back for belly rubs when seeing us because she learned from Merlin :D

I felt the pain but I wasn't upset. I looked at my cuts sadly. What touched me most was although he was still wet he came close and sniffed near my feet asking for an apology he then climbed up and cuddled himself on my lap. I was so touched I then patted him and said it's ok kio you really didn't mean to hurt me and patted him dry with a towel. All he wanted to show how much he was sorry for hurting me, Pure soul. 💖.
My cat would not leave my side when I started to go into labor with my daughter. She stayed by me a lot during the pregnancy, but the night I went into labor, she would not leave me alone. She did this even before I started having contractions. She knew. She's a sweet kitty too. Very gentle with my kids and she let's me rub her tummy. ❤

So sweet. My girl cat who isn't really a snuggled would sleep across my belly. She didn't do it before and hasn't slept on my lap after. I don't know how people don't like cats.
We had a cat pee on my hubby shortly before my water broke...I still think it's funny he doesn't for sum reason
My cat doesn't like many ppl. When the girls from across the way visited, she was very loving to one of them and not so much the other. In fact even more than she is to me. It turns out the girl in question survived cancer. Maybe that what made her so loving to my friend. 🤷♂️
@@jambodave72 there's some strong indication that cats are capable of "smelling death" on people. I know that sounds morbid but studies have shown some compelling proof of this. And a cancer survivor would definitely qualify.

As I watched this video, my cat, Tucker, stared at it intently for almost the whole video. He was really watching closely. When I started to type this response, he gently put his paw up on my arm, so I took a few seconds to rub his head and he was fine. Now he's looking at me like I've insulted his intelligence 😂😂😂
I ❤️ Sim Sim 🐻 my 🎀 kitty ;); I always feed him, give him attention and spend time with him. Lol, love when he runs randomly at time, sleeps 💤 in a way that makes you want to do the same, I like to think of him like a 🐅 🐯 🐅 🐯 🐅
My cat runs to play and “chase/hunt” me! She will jump up and run around a corner, then waits for me to “sneak up on her” she then jump scares me and I run. She’ll chase me and we run circles around the house. She’ll chase me, then I chase her. Inevitably she will jump in the bath tub to hide and I’ll pretend not to see her so she can jump out and catch me as soon as I turn my back. It’s the best play time ever.
my beloved Mei-Sha do the same to me :D i really love my cat because she shows the true love.
Same with my Winston 😸 We'll be at opposite ends of the hall poking our heads around corners until one of us comes chasing 😆
My cat does the same!!!!
Yas, he'll chase me around the house, and cause he's kinda small, I can't see him and then jumps on my leg to nibble it lightly.
Why my cats don't do the same
I used to think my cat loves me and thus sleeps on me. Finding out I am it's personal room heater is not the best feeling in the world.
But is a sign of love too
It is a sign of love. It takes immense trust for them to do that. If they stay with you all night, they 100% want to be with you.
😹😹😹😹😹😹
well that means it trusts you
That means it feels safe around you! A cats sleep is the most vulnerable time so they trust you to protect them :D
Every cat i’ve came across, they just naturally get near me. I try not to give them too much attention, kneel down as to be their size and I meow while putting my hand out letting them know Im here to pet them, if they’re open to that. I usually just leave food or water so they know hooman is here to take care of them. Most cats I come across have always naturally trusted me. I love it so much. Its rewarding af.
My cat gives me all signs that.s loves me + give a hi5 everytime i come back home if i miss more then 5 hours.On winter he sleeps on me, give head bumps and most of the time sleep near watching me.God i love him so much!
Whenever my cat stares at me I just stare back 😂😂
Ballsy!
Me too! I can out-stare some cats!
Same then I'll talk to him until my mom sees it babbles to me on why and how to communicate with pets and flowers... Sadly me and flowers don't like each other.
Pretty sure if you blink slowly that can be taken as a friendly hello

Cats are my spirit animal now
My cat begs me to open the door to the basement. I open it, he walks away. I close it again, he begs me to open it.
CAT LOGIC
Edit: I am aware why cats do this, cats are weird.
Cats and dogs believe in the "open door" policy. That's to say if its a door.. it better be open!
Your cat basically wants you to get in the basement so that he can lock you in there
Yea dude, you closed a piece of his territory. Or at least what he considers his territory maybe. He must just like it open 🤣

When my cat was dying of kidney failure I drove him to the emergency clinic for some oxygen as a desperate attempt to keep him alive. He was staring at me the whole 20 minute drive. It was a pleading side eye. I told him this is your only chance, I’m so sorry. I’ll be haunted by the way he starred at me forever.
@@Natalia-lx6yt What is the two year period? My cat Mimi lived with chronic kidney failure for 2.5 years. I will never know if he was predisposed or something preventable caused it.

I had no idea what these things meant . Great video, 👍
I do not like it when people say that they hate cats. They just don't understand them, and most of the time they refuse to understand cats.
Most people overstate the word "hate" as well, some in the comments say they hate cats but are annoyed with them. When I say the word "hate" I'm using it in it's literal sense.
1000% true
Although hate is a strong word, I'm pretty sure no one hates cats. "Don't like" is better.
@@Hmmm777 I've met many people who say they hate cats. I'm not sure if they actually hate them, but most of those people I've met refuse to try to like cats.
I don't dislike cats, but I am wary and cautious around then because I know I don't understand them well. But I would like to!
@@shaya8080 You should! I got one 4 years ago (along with 2 of her babies) and, now, I'll never not have a cat. They're loving, have unique personalities and just strange, beautiful creatures.
Cat: buries poop so their scent don’t get traced by predators.
Also cat: scratches to leave scent marking territories.
😂
Yeah i guess scratch marks on a tree are more intimidating than poop x)
Maybe it's because it gives them more control over when and where they choose to mark. A cat might have to poop but not want to mark a spot at that time.
*Not all scents are created equally*

awesome info- thanks - after all these years of owning a cat which is my fave animal I learned alot - some I knew other things I was enlightened. SMILE
Back then when my depression was very bad, I stayed mostly in bed and were sleeping. My one cat (which passed away this year) was always laying on my arm and licking it non-stop for hours
rest in peace sweet baby 💖
@@sarah.j.777 Yeah :) She spend wonderful 12 years with me and died in my Mom and my arms.
I went through this too. My cat passed last month. She was my baby. It's a tough thing :/ wishing ya the best bud
I've never had a pet before this cat and I've had her for roughly 4.5 Years and reading this stuff with her sound asleep on top of me rn has my 28 year old ass welling up. This sweet beautiful furball is NOT gonna die🥺not ever.
I’m sorry you lost your friend 💔😞
I remember my gramdma and papa had a cat named Georgie. He never liked people much and almost always preferred to be alone. He hated his belly being rubbed, his chin being scratched and only liked you for a few mintues when he got food out of you. But, right before he died, he suddenly had a change in behavior. He wanted to be with me, he didn't mind it when I petted him and he actually slept on my lap for almost an hour. We just kinda hung outside together. I miss him.
So sad. I'm glad he ultimately snuggled with you, if only for a little while.
If you were young and grew up as he did, he could have sensed you grew up and understood, and felt safer.
I had a short haired black & white tom cat (tuxedo) who would reach out & touch my arm or hand or even my face all the time, followed by a calming meow as if to say. . . ."I love you dad!" He was my sweet boy & i loved him so very much!!!
My kitty was 6 months old when she got pregnant. When she went into labor she jumped up on my lap and proceeded to give birth to her first kitten in my lap! I will never forget it. Everyone told me that cats hide when the give birth. I felt honored that she trusted me enough to help her.
When I was a kid my cat had kittens. She demanded we sit with her and rub her belly during contractions or she would bite us 😂 It was an amazing experience
omg thats adorable
I wish my my cat was adorable
My cat needed me to hold her paw and rub her belly each time she gave birth. She insisted I stay with her every time. Time to give birth? She would find me and tell me, then lead me to the birthing box we had prepared earlier. Then, she would grab my hand with each contraction and squeeze tight. She really loved me and thought I was her mum.
My cat hid in the closet and
In 1 hour gave me5 grand kids, shes just a stray I adopted I got 2 siamese a perfect orange tabby and 2 calico with bright blue eyes,,,
I was only person allowed to touch kittens
Woah, I got a mental picture of that. Along the lines of "I don't fucking want to get pregnant again, hooman...where the fuck you going?help me push this kittens!"
Yep, that's my mind
“Cats also bite to show AFFECTION but only a “NIBBLE””
Me: looks at my cat *ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT-*
If a cat bites at the same place there may be a skin condition. It may notice it smells different than the surrounding area.
I eat rice OMG U EAT RICE?
Actually this does happen and I have experience, we call them "love bites" which can come from there bigger ancestry like tigers and lions, who also sometimes bite to show affection. You can tell by how hard they bite and if they try to grip onto the limb.
My cat likes to chomp on my hands but I still love her ❤
@Ann Moore those are love bites, it's a way they show affection like how tigers/lions nibble there mates. Unless your cat has teeth issues
I've always had a doggo, I love golden and labs. I never ever liked cats, then my daughter brought one home. Even though I avoided her that cat would follow me, sit on my chest, demand to sleep in my bed and well now she's a family member and I adore her. Strange how life goes
yes pretty much all reasons have something to do with love and affection.....just tells you how great cats are
My cats eyes when he’s hyper: ⚫️👅⚫️
Yeah my cat is so cute when shes like that😂😂😂😂😂
So true,big pupils in my cat are not a good sign.... beware!!
frr
I have two outdoor barn cats, siblings from the same litter, and let me tell you, those little furballs had me from day one. I never knew before getting them how much I needed cats in my life. When they're not hunting rodents, they like to follow me around outside, insist on lots of attention and play, snacks, and long naps on my lap (they probably see it as payment for their hunting services lol). They like to chill on my shoulder and will come when I call. If they catch something, they'll bring it back as if for my approval. They have yet to scratch or bite me. They're my two best friends who really, truly love me. I honestly don't know what I'd do without them.
This sounds so wonderful! I’m happy for all three of you and I wish you all peace and lots of adventures together 🥰😻
@Joe Blogs weirdo
@Joe Blogs wow, that sounds so amazing ! Would you mind telling me a bit more about those "incredible stories" that you mentioned ? I am really excited and looking forward to it. Please narrate, not all but at least a single. Would you ?
@Joe Blogs lmao if they brought you a cockroach, would you eat it
@Joe Blogs how to pretend eat it. I have a cat for few months now. I need an advice
This was fun to watch. I rescued my cat after her owner passed away. She is adorable, very loving and gentle. She likes me singing to her and she loves sitting next to people. I think cats are very clever, my brothers cats gives him a high five, he is class.
Every time my cat leaves the litter box after relieving himself, he zooms. All we hear is “THUMP-THUMPTHUMP-THUMPTHUMP” of his little paws hitting the hardwood at high speeds, and it always seems to be at 3am when everyone is nice and cozy in the bed. After a few minutes of running the halls back and forth, we’ll sometimes hear him knock into something, meow real loud, then come prancing into the bedroom to go to sleep as if it’s no big deal.
The fun nights are when you’re dead asleep and hear the heaving-cat owners know exactly what I’m talking about. You think you’re dreaming it, but wake up to a lovely puke puddle on your hardwood floors. Sometimes you don’t know until it’s too late and you’ve done stepped into it, all while the cat watches from off to the side and acts like he doesn’t know why you’re so grossed out while demanding he be fed because it’s that time of the morning.
I miss my Shelby so much. She passed away almost 5 yrs ago. I had her almost 15 yrs. The best friend I ever had. ❤️❤️❤️😔

I don't have a cat, but I still found this interesting. Mostly because felines (cougars, lions, tigers, etc) are some of my favorite animals. This gives a bit of information on how these big cats might behave.

Are u planning to own a cat?
@@TheKittyCatnip In the near future, probably. As a life long dog lover, my buddy passed away a few weeks ago. Still torn up about that, but knowing myself, I think I'll want to have another member of the family eventually.
Bit of a long answer, but yes, I think the chance of getting a cat this year is high.
When my cat was a kitten and wanted through a door she would meow after getting frustrated getting up all the time, i showed her how to open them by taking her paw and putting it under and pulled, after showing her twice it's been the last time I've had to get up to let her in or out, unless the door is latched
I think purring actually means they love you, unless my cat is broken, because when I pet her, she purrs, but I’m no *expert* .
(edit) So i'm sick of people coming to me saying "ho but your cat is not happy" "ho but your your cat is annoyed" just stop ok! i know my cat and i know she is not annoyed. In fact since i don't know what it's called, here is a video of what she does with her tail when she come and ask to be pet : th-cam.com/video/ovDBrgkVWpo/w-d-xo.html . Maybe people will stop talking like i don't know my cats, or like i'm a stupid kid. Thanks and sorry to be this annoyed, i'm not a native english speaker so there is words i don't know!! (end of edit)
One of my cat don't purr at all, but i know for a fact that she love me. She make her tail wiggle when i pet her or when she see me, she show me her belly she bonk my hand and rub her head against me. In a matter of fact if my cat purr it's mostly the sign that she is not feeling well. Purring can mean "i love you, i'm happy" but also "i'm not feeling good help me." Knowing your cat help to discern between the two.
my cat purr's when he's happy
Same my car purrs when i sit next to him when he eats 😂 and when I pet him
My cat purrs when she bites me. I'm the one with he broken cat
@@arsenxavier1899 ahhh you raised a special one 😎
My cat hates doors to be closed. It triggers his separation anxiety. That's what he told me, when I found him. He was looking for his family who moved away and left him behind. I leave him fresh kibble and treats and tell him "I'll be back" everytime I leave. He's calm and comfy in a chair when I return home.
Aw
Like who does that?!? Picks up and moves, leaving their pet behind? We had the same thing happen on our street. The cat left behind was the most beautiful cat I had ever seen. We fed him daily and were able to pet him after awhile. However….that didn’t last long! There is a family of feral cats in our backyard….started off with just 1(who I named Jynx) who had babies, then Jynx and one of her girls(Jetta) had babies, long story short, we ended up with 14 feral cats. Shortly after the last litter in 2014, we had Heaven Can Wait bring out cages, we captured all 14 cats between 9am-10pm, all cats were picked up(throughout the day), taken in, spayed or neutered and 3 or 4 days later were dropped back off in our backyard. The male cat who was left behind by his family was not fixed and was constantly getting into fights with the fixed cats who obviously looked at him as an intruder into their space. I’m sure it was my yelling when the fights would break out that scared this beautiful boy to the point he would run anytime I brought food out for him. Haven’t seen him in 8mos or so, I’m hoping one of our neighbors took him in or he’s just avoiding my backyard. I know other families were feeding him also.
My kitty is the same way. If I so much as close a door, he claw the door and throws his entire body against it until it opens.
He's definitely my little shadow.

Cats are amazing. I once went to a friend's house. His cat immediately jumped into my lap. My friend was amazed, said he never had done that before. I'd go to the house and where ever I was this cat wanted to be. The way that cat would look at me. I could feel the love it touched my heart in away I've never had any human do.
Happens with me all the time. Most cats just love me.
Hi Reos, I can relate, it's true what you say, cats touch an inner side of us that humans can never reach. I think they show the ultimate compassion and that's what we pick up on :)
cats are similar to snakes in regards to dislike. if you anger them they can scratch you and inject you with a type of poison. they were a lizard type animal in the past when the world was different.
