Male Cat Behavior

Cat Training And Cat Behavior - Will Cat Problems Be Solved

The cat's probable social behavior varies extremely from ferociously self-determining to compatibly outgoing with other felines. According to a few professionals a cat's social qualities are "in evolution" from self-dependent to mutually dependent.

In reality, a cat's behavior and resultant societal relations with other cats are dependent on factors such as population density of neighborhood cats, premature knowledge and the amount of food available in the vicinity.

Variation In The Population Density And Grouping Dynamics:

The family cat is a solitary seeker. It requires a large area to catch adequate prey, while scrounging for itself and it will protect that area from other cats too. From a study, it is revealed that a vicinity of sq mile (1 sq km) will sustain nearly five cats in the agricultural areas of Europe, North America and Australasia.

Altering circumstances such as new felines, absence of few cats or new people greatly affects the social dynamics of cats. Social acquaintances generally develop between females and kittens, and rarely by adult males in a characteristic assembly of tamed cats, who stay with humans. Cats settle differences normally by visual contact or occasionally by a swipe of its paw once, there is friendliness amongst cats residing in the same place.

When two cats meet up suddenly, the cat that has a higher status is generally the superior at that time. However, it might not be the same during the next meeting. Odor and well-being also affects the status of a cat. When a cat comes home after undergoing treatment at a hospital for some medical issue, sometimes a healthy household cat attacks it. Once a status is formed in a multi cat home, however differences are rare.

Behavioral Changes Caused By Food:

When food is available in plenty, social relations increase because the reasons for fighting decrease. Sparsely distributed hunting cats exhibit defensive gestures rather than social while well-fed cats in neighborhood areas usually exhibit outgoing social interactions. Household cats are the friendliest, since food is aplenty at home.

The Importance Of Family And Matriarchy:

One should not expect a household cat to be pleased with the arrival of a new feline just because it gets plentiful food and it has a very easy life. It is nearly impossible. Cats can get along with one another only, if they share a blood relationship.

The other important thing is early castration. Although untamed male cats make very less social relations than females, neutered male cats make the same number of social contacts as neutered female cats. Neutering improves male feline relationships considerably.

The cat family is mostly matriarchal. Untamed cat population generally contains four or more blood-related feline generations. The most frequent social communication amongst females is licking rather than rubbing.

The mother, grandmother, sisters and other female members remove the male kittens from the colony as soon as they mature and exhibit rough play behavior. These males accompany other males, who generally hover around and prevent any unrelated male from coming near.

Is there any risk in waiting to 6 months to neuter kittens?
I have 2 4 month old male kittens, and none of the local vets will do neutering until they are 6 months old. Is there any risk in them developing negative male cat behaviors (spraying, sexual aggression, excessive territorialism) before the 6 month mark?

Bengal Male Cat Behaviour Problem?
We have recently bought 3 cats from a supposed breeder. 2 bengals (1 male (11 months), 1 female(16 months)) and a Siamese male (22 weeks). They all came from the same place and have been around each other for a while. we have since found they all have cat flu, ear mites, and had to get the 2 bengals neutered. They were fine for the first week or so but as soon as the female bengal came into heat the day before they were neutered, the male bengal started being unfriendly to the other 2. He then started attacking them, he managed to catch the siamese the first time and gashed his leg open, and we now have to keep them separated. We keep trying to introduce them and making sure no other attacks happen, but nothing seems to be working. We have tried the diffuser but this has done nothing. Can anyone help us acheive a happy household? For starters, they all used to get on perfectly ok, they are all high active cats and that is not the problem. The problem is he attacks the other 2 now, which he didn't do before. His temperament is fine when he is on his own, very loving, its only when the other 2 are in the area that he goes on the attack. De-clawing is NOT an option as its like chopping your finger off at the first knuckle and the vets in the UK refuse to do this barbaric act.

male cat behavior question?
I know its normal for the older cat to clean the kitten, But my question is is it normal for an older cat to bite the younger cat? We just got the kitten, and my older cat who is barely a cat (7 months) didn't like the younger one at first (theyre both male). he put him in a body lock and kept biting his neck which is a sign of dominance and he seemed to want to deliberatly hurt him. we then got him neutered, and noticed that they started to get along better. the problem is that the younger kitten follows the older one everywhere. they'll play together, but the older one doesn't know his own strength. the kitten will resist but the older one will just hold him down with his paw, and sometimes will bite him on the body. i think hes showing dominance, but will it stop? is it bad?
