Find Out About Kitten and Cat Behavior

What are the facts about cats?

Those mysterious and aloof creatures that we love so much?

Do you understand what your cat is up to when it behaves in an unexpected or unacceptable way?

Cat behavior can be difficult to decode.

Behavior that signals friendship to us – open eyes, eye contact and a big smile – equal threatening behavior to a cat.

Yet, half closed eyes, glancing sideways, blinking slowly, yawning and turning away – all means indifference and cool rejection to us, means “I’m no threat, come on over and chat a while” to a cat.

It’s helpful to know that cats have a set of behaviors that differ radically from those of dogs, and humans, but you need to know more than that to solve any problems you may be having.

Here are some common cat problems:

• Aggressive or unfriendly cat behavior
• Unexpected cat biting
• Cat peeing in the house
• Cat scratching furniture
• Anxious cat
• Fussy eater

I’ve managed to find a resource that will step you through each and every one of these cat problems and more.

It’s a book called Cat Behavior Secrets Revealed. It’s written by Liz Barton and it’s an incredible guide to understanding cat behavior.

I’ve always been curious about the sometimes peculiar things cats do like:

• Why is my de-sexed male Tabby cat peeing in the stairwell?
• Why is it the grumpiest, unfriendliest person in the room that ends up with the cat on their knee?
• How come I can have the most delightful time stroking my cat and then she suddenly grips me around the wrist, chomps down on my fingers, and kicks savagely with her back legs? What did I do to upset her?

I know I’m not alone in these thoughts, and that’s why Liz’s book has been so insightful.

You learn everything you need to know about cat training, or better still, start when they are young with kitten training. Find out how to introduce them into the house, get them trained to use kitty litter and how to behave so that they can fit in with the household.

Is My Cat Jekyll and Hyde?

So why does your cat suddenly go from enjoying a playful tussel to full on attack mode?

Does she have a split personality?

Maybe...but it's more likely to be that you have inadvertently moved your hand into a danger zone just at the time that your cat has become overly excited.

The cat has rolled onto it's back, is excited and you haven't been able to resist giving it a tickle on it's tummy.

In a cat's world, it's stomach is a vulnerable area and if you touch it your cat may go straight into fight mode to protect itself without even stopping to draw breath.

We may be upset by this sudden change in behavior, but so is the cat. The cat may see it like this:- One minute you're stroking it lazily like a loving lick from it's mother's tongue, and the next minute you are seeking to rip it's entrails out.

If you can see it from the cat's point of view then you can avoid getting lured into this kind of play in the first place.

If you do find yourself on the receiving end of this kind of attack it's best to let the attacked hand go limp while distracting the cat with your other hand. Get up and walk away as soon as you are free.

If you anticipate an attack of this sort coming on, then stop the play, get up and walk away immediately. It helps to train your cat that you are not interested in this kind of behavior.

The facts about cats are finally made clear. Check out Liz’s book and improve your relationship with your magical cat.
