Feline Behavior...Fun, Food, Sleep, Repeat - Just Like Us!

The mysterious cat. You peer into those beautiful eyes and wonder about his thoughts, what drives him. Is he happy? Well cats are complex and simple creatures at the same time. They love routine. They love to play. They love to sleep. They love their home. They love their family. Just like us!

Feline social behavior is a very interesting thing. A cat will greet you when you walk in the door. Or he will ignore you. It depends on how he feels. Unlike a dog, who is usually counting down the minutes until you get home, a cat is alright with it. He may be happy you're home, but it's ok if you're not. With other animals he will rarely lose his cool and will put an over exuberant puppy or kitten right in their place with a swift bat of his paw. He feels no embarrassment if we put him in silly costumes. What does he care? He knows he's royalty! Just bring on the tuna!

It is for these reasons we adore our cats. They have qualities we admire and they are a joy to have in our families. Feline personality traits may vary from cat to cat but they all have a quiet dignity. Lion behavior seems very much like our house cat behavior. A feline is still a feline no matter the size. What a delight that we can have a pint sized lion as part of the family! It is true that a cats focus is to always take care of and please themselves first and that is one of the most admirable characteristics of the fabulous feline. Why should it be any other way?

If there is ever a time when you need to practice a little feline psychology because of a cat behavior problem, rest assured that there is a solution. Cats are very sensitive creatures and when upset their actions can seem unexplainable, however, if you spend some time trying to see a problem through your cats eyes you will find the answer. There is always a reason a cat does what he does. It may be medical or emotional but with patience and determination you will find the answer. There are many good books about how to handle cat problems. There are countless forums and mailing lists to join, and you can always find other cat fanciers willing to help. Don't give up on your beautiful pet!

If you have a feline in your life, consider yourself a lucky person! The fun they bring is magical! Enjoy the fascinating study of cat behavior and quickly solve any cat behavior problems that arises.
