Learn More About Your Cat

Domestic cats are very independent and intelligent. They

do something only when they want to do it. They are not

hesitant in demanding anything that they desire, from

play, food or even being left to itself.

Cats come with diversified personalities. Some would meow

most of the time, while the other kind remains quiet.

Likewise, some are quite fussy and choosy of their food,

while others would eat almost any food item and require

attention from everybody around. Many are loners, but

some want to sit in your lap and love to be held

physically.

When it wants to draw your attention, a cat would rub

against the masters' legs, meow continuously or follow

you around. Quite a few cats give the impression of being

attentive to what is happening around them - listening

and watching as if they understand all that. Some out-

of-door cats are known to glance at either side of road

before crossing it.

Cats are known to demonstrate intelligent and even

surprising behavior at times. Some of them enjoy

listening to music and watching programs on TV. You can

know whether a cat is stressed or not - simply lift it

up. If it is light and loose, it means it's relaxed. If

the same is heavy and tight, it's stressed. Some can be

trained to perform tricks like dogs. It is very normal

for cats to take short naps frequently, and thus the

phrase 'cat nap.'

Where a cat prefers sleeping depends on its personality.

Many prefer sleeping in secluded places, such as the top

of tall cupboards, but others prefer to remain and sleep

at the scenes of action. Similarly, may prefer warm, soft

places, but others may prefer bright corners. Cats love

to hone their claws and their most favorite place for

this activity is your couch!

It is better that you provide your cat some place for

honing its claws. Also, keep cutting the claws from time

to time. You can allow it to scratch at a designated

place, away from your carpet. Otherwise, it would learn

that its scratching of fabrics is acceptable by you.

Offer it a sisal rope or an old carpet, turned upside

down.

You'll need to spend time and effort to educate your cat

that it should use only the designated place for

scratching itself. Some pet owners declaw the cat. Now,

that is a surgical procedure and extremely painful for

any cat because the claw is a movable part connected to

the muscle, quite like a finger. Claws have tough tendons

plus ligaments that allow the cat to retract or widen the

claws.

Once you declaw your cat, it is unable to hold, grasp or

walk properly and perform other activities like climbing,

springing and stretching. Such cat shouldn't ever be

allowed to go outside the home as it won't be able to

climb or protect itself from predators.
