Strange Cat Behavior - What To Be Concerned About
Cats are capable of being fascinating companions. The majority of the time they can be wonderful to have around, but there are some Strange Cat Behavior that can irritate even the most enduring owner.
Missing The Litter Box
You know that there is something wrong when a cat or kitten has a problem when they being to urinate in places other than their kitty litter or the place in which they have been taught to go. The first step is to clean out the litter box on a regular basis so that it is nice smelling. No one likes an unclean toilet! This could possibly resolve the crisis. If not, take your cat to the vet for a once over. Your cat could have a physical problem that might be making it hard for them to make it to the box in time. After having your cat looked at by a veterinarian for possible physical problems which could have caused this Strange Cat Behavior, there are other ways in which you can assist your cat back to toileting where it is supposed to.
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder - Can Your Cat Have This Problem
Did you know that a few cats develop behaviors that are obsessive compulsive, like tail chewing, excessive licking, wool-sucking, or fur-pulling? Characteristic physical problems could be something as negligible as fleas or as major as neuropathy. So having your cat looked at by its vet is a smart first choice.
Excessive Fear Or Inhibition Results In A Scaredy Cat
There are a few cats that have an excessive fear or inhibition around people. If you show patience and love the cat can grow out of the timid state. But do not rush this process, as you can make it worse and it can result in a cat behavior that is violent and bites or scratches.
The majority of kittens are socialized as they grow up, by being held by a variety of different people who smell different and act different. If your kitten didn't get this advantage, it may grow into a reserved and nervous adult cat. Give it time to come out, then reward "showing up" with a food treat it likes. You will be able to coax it out with a trail of food leading to its bowl, moving the bowl a bit each day. Talk tenderly to it, letting it warm up slowly. While your cat may never be fully socialized and welcome contact with others, it can still be a nice family pet.
Anxious And Apprehensive Cats
You will find that there are a few cats that feel a lot of stress and anxiety. This stress can lead to additional cat behavior problems, like depression or litter box avoidance. If these symptoms (of stress and anxiety) become visible unexpectedly, first make sure the cat's heath is ok with the vet. If your cats health is ok, then you would want to look at the cat's environment could be contributing to the stress level.

Strangest cat behaviour... suggestions?
Ok, I've been fostering rescued cats for 4 years and working in a pet store for 2. So I thought I'd been around the bend when it came to cats but....
Boxing week I adopted a white persian. Behaviour problems, peed everywhere she said. The cat had no problems. The problem she she didn't maintain his coat and his urine would get stuck on HIM!
SOOOOO.... once he was shaved he was great, or was he?
The cat goes crazy to eat any and all human food and its difficult to get him to eat any cat food that is not, or mixed with, Fancy Feast. I caught him one night eating spaghetti sauce out of the pot. The pot was on the stove. It wasn't on, but other burners were. I've pulled him out of popcorn bags, he'll lick the inside. I walked away from my cereal one morning, cat was devouring Special K Vanilla Almond.
He also eats and licks tape or any adhesive.
Any suggestions? Vet says "just keep training him 'NO'"... I'm afraid for the cat's health and safety!

Strange cat behaviour....she licks her nipples?
When my youngest cat gets scratched and petted in the morning, she takes it for a while and then backs away and starts licking her nipples. She will do that for anywhere from 5 to 20 minutes. She doesn't have any separation anxiety issues from being separated from her mother..we still have her. She really gets involved....eyes closed, purrs loudly, etc. What do you think makes her do this?
