The Behavior Of Cats

By: Mark and Cindi
The behavior of cats indoors or outdoors. Cats prefer to patrol their territories in the same systematic way, day after day. Felines are very sensitive to changes in their environment, which may be a sign of a disturbance or danger pending.

The behavior of cats in the domesticated role follows a love for daily routine. Cats like to do today what they did yesterday, and the day before and would prefer to do the same thing tomorrow. Basically, the behavior of cats does not include the human emotion of boredom.

Cats have an inherent very strong biological clock. They quickly learn when it is time for food, or when it is time for a certain person to get up in the morning. I personally am not sure how with pinpoint accuracy they are able to determine exactly what time it is. For example five minutes before my alarm clock rings at 5:50 a.m. My cat Thomas gets in position to greet me and to make sure I get out of bed.

The behavior of domestic cats

The behavior of cats in the domesticated role can also become very sensitive to any unusual activities in the home such as preparations for moving or packing your stuff to go away on vacation.

These events could disturb the behavior of your cat, and this may be expressed in a lack of appetite or hiding in a place where they are not usually found. Your best course of action during these activities is to provide extra attention to the cat and a few extra cat treats to assure the feline that everything will be okay.

The behavior of cats is based on routine and consistency in the way that you and your family treat your cat. When I talk about consistency you do want to established guidelines for your feline friend that the whole family will follow.

It can be confusing to the animal, if it is all right to sleep in an armchair, on one day, but not the next day. This also applies to when one human tells the cat it's okay to sleep in that chair and then another human will walk in and chase the cat away from the same chair.
You and your family must get together and design a plan of consistency of what your cat can do and can not do. A confused cat can develop a behavior problem.

Most cats are willing to accept restrictions on where they can go, but they cannot be expected to observe rules that are not consistent. To improve the behavior of cats you must make a rule then stick to that rule.

When the behavior of cats turns aggressive dealing with this problem immediately should be priority one.

The aggressive behavior of cats can be due to many problems. When you're experiencing bad behavior in your own cat, the first thing to do is to take the cat for a vet visit and ask for a full comprehensive checkup. Especially if it has been a year of more since your last vet appointment.

The aggressive behavior of cats can sometimes be attributed to medical conditions. If your cat doesn't feel good, or has an ailment that causes pain, such as arthritis, a nerve condition or other pain related problems, this can lead to aggressive behavior in the form of lashing out at the hand that feeds them.
