Weird Cat Behavior

Common Meanings Of Cat Behavior

A lot of people think that cats work on their own agenda, not paying much attention to their owner - provided they have clean litter, food, and water. Cats can behave in odd manners at times, which can easily confuse their owners and make it really hard to determine what the cat wants. As much as cat behavior can be confusing, there are some ways that you can solve common cat behavior mysteries.

A common behavior that almost all cats do is push their heads into any type of object that will allow them to do it. You've probably seen your cat do this before, probably against table legs, TV stands, or another object. This can be noticed more when you have other people who own animals or those with allergies over at your house. When a cat notices this, he will rub his head against the person. In doing so, he will put a touch of saliva on the individual. In a cat's mind, he owns what he puts his saliva on.

By putting his saliva on something, that object or person will have a familiar scent. Although this can be very annoying, you have to understand that other people in your home are seen as odd or weird to your cat. When a cat does this, he is simply trying to make the visitor belong. When he brushes up against them and puts his saliva on them, he is trying to put his scent on them - which in his mind will mean that they belong in his territory.

Even though marking someone or something with saliva is beneficial to the cat, saliva is one of the most common forms of pet allergies. When someone wipes the saliva off of them, the scent will be gone and the cat will go back and attempt to do it again. Even though it may appear that cats target those with allergies, cats are actually just trying to make the visitor belong at the house. If the guest simply cannot take the saliva, allow the cat to rub himself on their pants leg a few times. Normally, this is all takes for a cat to leave the person alone.

Those of you who an indoor cat should expect the cat to spend quite a bit of time lying near windows. During this time, you may hear your cat make very strange noises or weird movements. You shouldn't fear though, as he is simply acting out his hunting instincts. Whether it's another cat or object outside moving about, the cat will see it and simply go into his native hunting instinct.

As most already know, cats love to play. They love to played with, especially with toys. They will pounce on things on occasion, which should always be expected. If you try to prevent this type of behavior, your cat will take a very negative approach and you'll end up with a lot of broken things in your home. You can always play with your cat using a string, as he will love to chase the string around the room.

The longer you own your cat, the more odd behavior you'll see him exhibit. Cats behave in strange ways, although they always have a reason for behaving the way they do. If you can understand why your cat behaves like he does, you'll have no problems keeping him healthy and happy. If you simply pay attention to your cat and the way he behaves at times - you'll be able to understand him better than ever before.formoreinfo

Weird cat behavior does your cat do this, and why?
I have a one year old cat. We have a shag type rug that my cat sucks on like she was suckling her mother, she also sucks plastic bags and likes to get inside them. I have heard people refer to her as a wool sucker. What could have caused this behaivor? Is it serious? Her mom died when she was 4 weeks. She ate wet food so I didn't bottle feed her. My cat kneads in my hair too. Steff K, I just don't leave sacks lying around the house. I am a responsible pet owner. When ever we bring grocerys home from the store. I have noticed her climbing in the empty plastics bags BEFORE I pick them up off the floor. Do you think that if I didn't care about my cat that I would take the time to ask a question about her health. I was concered, if I had thought It was something really serious, like blood in her stool, I would take her to the vet.

Weird cat behavior....any ideas?
My cat Henry does some weird things, I'm just curious as to why he does it or if anyone else has experienced this, but my cat ALWAYS has to be in the bathroom with me when I take a shower, he doesn't get in the shower but lays on the bath rug in front of it or on the toilet. I always thought he liked being in the hot steamy room, like a kitty sauna. But he only does it with me, not my boyfriend or anyone else that takes a shower. If I go in the bathroom and shut the door he goes nuts, meowing and pawing at the door until I let him in. Also, he doesn't like dancing, like when I dance around the apartment or do some of my cardio workout dvd's he gets mad and tries to bite my feet. If I am just walking he's fine, but he can't stand it if I stand in one area and move my feet. A little background, I have not had him since he was a kitten, I adopted him when he was 7, he is now 11. The humane soc. told me he was not abused but i have my doubts cause the way he acts around feet.
