Features of the nature and behavior of cats

Any cat owner will tell you that every cat has a character. Each of them is a separate independent person with their own habits, temperament and habits. Of course, they have common features. Some are determined by heredity, others by breed. But any pet has its own distinctive features that make it individual.

One of the main distinguishing features of cats is their independence. No wonder there is a popular expression "the cat walks by itself." It would seem that this should repel people from these fluffy pets. After all, no one wants to live under the same roof with a clear egoist. But it is precisely this trait that attracts.

Graceful and independent creatures can not be trained. And this is also a consequence of the peculiarities of their psychology. Since ancient times, they are compared with dogs, or rather they are opposed to them. The characters of dogs and cats are very different. If the first is considered to be loyal and faithful, then the second is usually called independent and independent.

Despite the presence of the above features, cats are always associated with warmth, comfort and tranquility. They are not as active and emotional as dogs, but for this they love them. It is pleasant to spend evenings with them, stroking the soft fur and listening to the gentle purr. Another feature of them is that they do not cause almost any trouble to their owners. They do not require special attention to themselves, but they gladly respond to the manifestation of affection and care on your part.

If you decide to have a kitten of a certain breed, it will not be superfluous to familiarize yourself with the peculiarities of its character. Some cat breeds are calmer and more domestic, others are very active, real hunters. Of great importance is who their ancestors were, or when crossing what breeds this or that species turned out.

There are many breeds, to list them all in one article will be quite problematic. We will try to bring the most prominent and popular representatives to understand how their behavior may differ.

Quite active and nimble cats. They are not averse to playing and love to spend time with the owner. A feature of the breed is their dedication. If you managed to win her love and location, then she will be your faithful companion all her life. It is also noted that with such a cordial attitude towards the household, the Siamese can be very aggressive towards outsiders. If the cat itself does not show interest to you, then it is better not to try to pick her up or stroke her.

Incredibly beautiful cats. They seem to realize how great they are, so they don’t tolerate a hint of rivalry. It is not recommended to keep them with other animals, as the breed is even more jealous than the Siamese.

The popularity of this breed has fallen sharply lately. And it is completely unfair. Long-haired beauties conquer at first sight. These are cozy pets who like to lie down next to the owner, willingly allow themselves to be stroked and caress. It is worth noting that beautiful wool requires daily care.

They can be compared with hunting dogs. Large, graceful, nimble and self-sufficient. These cats will not hide from outsiders, on the contrary, they will come out and inspect with interest the new object on their territory.

To confuse these unusual cats with other breeds is simply impossible. The complete absence of wool cover makes them unique. If you like the cat to always be there, pressed and caressed, while being quite active, then this is your breed. They are madly missing the owners and are happy for each of their appearance. Due to the lack of wool they like to bask on the handles (they can sit like that for hours).

These two breeds are very similar in character. Plush wool and a slightly flattened face make them real paws. Big eyes only add charm to these breeds. These are real lazybones. If still at an early age one can observe moderate activity, then in an adult they can often be seen lounging on a sofa. Affectionate, kind and gentle - all these epithets perfectly reflect the peculiarity of these breeds.

Snow-white handsome striking their hyperactivity. They are ready to play and have fun even the whole day. They should not be chosen by those people who do not tolerate such obsession. With these fun handsome men it will be very interesting for children, who are also distinguished by increased activity. This is only a small part of the representatives of the cat, but from the analysis of these breeds already it can be understood that they are all different and unique.

If in the wild you can clearly determine whether a male or female is in front of you, then at home it does not work right away. Only very attentive people will quickly notice the difference in habits, habits and behavior. After all, character and temperament still largely depends on gender. Familiarize yourself and the description of the main differences in the nature of cats and cats, to accurately recognize them even on the street. Although there are atypical individuals that do not fall under the following descriptions.

The main feature of all domestic cats is that they consider themselves to be the full owners of the apartment. From their point of view, it is they who allow you to live in peace and take care of them, and not you start them for your own pleasure. As befits a real owner and defender, the cat will eagerly protect its territory from external encroachments. One unpleasant moment in their behavior is connected with this - the label of the territory. And it is not always possible to explain to him that it is impossible to do this in an apartment.

But since you do not have mice and birds, he will hunt for household members. Do not be surprised if he suddenly attacks you from around the corner or is not joking at the joke. These are such games.

He should be aware of everything that happens on his territory. Any new object, person or phenomenon will not be left without his attention. He will inspect and inspect it. If the object came to him not to taste, immediately express their dissatisfaction with hissing and growling.

As for its own owner, the cat will always be watching and even watching him with interest. This will be manifested in the strict observance of his heels. Whether you do laundry, furniture assembly, reading or cooking, the cat needs to be aware of everything and it is advisable to take a direct part in this process.

Cats are more calm and restrained. They are not so eager to show their love. Although you can notice a significant difference in how they behave with men and women. If they allow girls to iron and scratch themselves, then they are more active with men. They will loyally look into the eyes, rub against the leg or arm with a pressure, actively purr and expose the sides to be stroked.

Females will not set their own rules in the house, they are more affectionate and accept the rules of the game and life, which are determined by the owner. If there are small children in the house, then it is better to start a cat. Maternal instincts are strong in these animals, and they will gladly take care of themselves.

Feline habits are also a manifestation of their nature. Of course, everyone knows: when a cat hisses, it means that she defends herself and is scared. But there are less obvious manifestations of character and temperament.

You should also be aware of them in order to better understand your darling.

• Ears pressed. This indicates a fright. At the same time, other features may also appear: arching the back, hair is reared, the cat hisses and exposes the fangs. In this state, you must try to calm your darling. First of all, eliminate the source of fright.
• Wagging tail. Since childhood, we know that if a cat wags its tail, it means that it is dissatisfied or angry. But it's not always the case. There are three main ways of wagging. In the first case, only the tip moves. This means interest and curiosity. The object of her interest may be an unusual sound, a flying bird or a new object. Similarly, animals behave while hunting.
• Meow. This is the main communication channel of the pet and the owner. Depending on the volume, tone and duration of the sounds, you can judge the mood and needs of the cat.

In the second case, the tail is raised, but remains straight. Pet moves it from side to side. This is a more disturbing sign. This is a clear expression of discontent and irritation. If the cat behaves in this way, it is better not to try to pick her up or stroke her.

The extreme degree of irritation and fright is expressed in a vertically raised tail. In this case, the wool on it stands on end. Such a picture can be seen when a fight between two individuals matures.

With the help of meow, she can beg for food. Some do it very loudly and aggressively, others just plaintively squeal, looking at the owner. But if the animal is quiet, but constantly meowing, it is worth being more attentive to it. Perhaps it says so about the pain that torments him.

Cats are very interesting and original animals. Each one is unique.
