All people who decide to become owners of a new pet, need to prepare for different manifestations of his character. In this regard, domestic cats stand apart. The behavior of cats demonstrates their independence and pride. They will prefer to live on the street if they feel that they are not loved in the house. The pet owner needs patience and iron nerves to understand the cat and its character.
Cat sterilization
Most four-legged owners fear that after the operation, the catβs behavior will change dramatically. Their doubts can be understood, because their pet will be disturbed by the natural hormonal background. All changes occur individually, so no one can tell in advance anything specific for a single animal.
What are the reasons to resort to sterilization? Each owner has their own, but what unites them is that cats very loudly and persistently require mating several times a year. This behavior of domestic cats affects the nerves of all residents of the house.
Sometimes medications and folk remedies are not able to calm the desire of the four-legged beauty. Sterilization in this case is the only reliable way to help maintain the cat's health and life.
Sterilization of cats. Behavior before and after
The behavior of the animal after sterilization also depends on the type of surgical intervention. Overlap of the fallopian tubes with the preservation of all organs of the reproductive system will not affect the manifestation of the cat's instincts, but she will never be able to give birth.
When all organs of the reproductive system are removed, the pet after recovery will cease to regularly search for a mate with accompanying cries. The animalβs life will become calm and measured without the manifestation of primary instincts.
Abyssinian cat behavior
Abyssinian is a very beautiful breed of cats with short hair. They have an attractive appearance and a playful character. Such a friend is often made in European countries.
What are they, Abyssinian cats? The behavior of cats is playful, they show their affection and tenderness to the owner. Animals have a certain pride, but can get bored during a long absence of people. The unusual voice of these pets is noticed, which resembles the sound of a bell.
Communication between cats
Domestic cats live well without relatives. They can be friends with each other and spend time together, but it quickly ends. Animals need a partner only to create offspring and care for him.
Cats have a developed hierarchy: places of rest and eating are a first-order house. The pet gets used to them almost immediately and begins to consider it their property. He will protect this territory from any encroachment by outsiders.
The area around the first is not so important for the cat. Kindred can come here, but animals try not to notice each other. The period of festivities in cats is accompanied by screaming and tagging of the territory with a smell of urine. Owners are forced to endure such tricks of their pet. The animal, in turn, has fights with rivals for the possibility of walking with a cat.
In the case when a new animal is brought into the first-order house of a relative, the owner will try to drive the opponent out. He will show the guest in every way that they are not welcome here. The latter can only climb higher, hide and observe from there the situation.
In the case when two cats are placed in a room that is alien to both, they will begin to study it, not noticing each other. After completing this task, they may wake up interest in a neighbor. In some cases, each cat will take its place and its behavior will show that he is here alone.
Cat and other animals
What do other cats think about animals? The behavior of cats comes down to what they consider others to be either prey or a stalker. Only by the outgoing smell can they attribute the animal to one or another category. Pets living in natural conditions are able to do this much faster and more accurately.
Rural cats do not pay attention to poultry and large animals (pigs, cows, goats), realizing that they are not predators. With some of them, a pet can even make friends. In winter, cats often bask in the stable.
Due to their increased curiosity, young kittens are considered to be relatives of parrots and hamsters. They will perfectly live and play together until the hunting instinct awakens in the cat. However, friendship does not always end there.
On the behavior of cats in relation to dogs, we can say that it is not always the same. As a rule, cohabitation of these animals in one territory takes place without conflict. However, sometimes a struggle arises between neighbors.
The incident occurs, among other things, through the fault of dog owners who set them on stray cats. If this is not done, then the animals will coexist perfectly under one roof. In most cases, a dog rushing in pursuit of a runaway cat simply barks at him without causing harm.
Man and cat
A cat is a freedom-loving animal; it does not live in a group, preferring loneliness. Under natural conditions, they cannot avoid communicating with others, this applies to human habitation. A few interesting points about the relationship of a cat with people:
- Unusual behavior can be explained by a bad deed and fear of punishment.
- The ability to persistently and continuously ask the owner for something tasty.
- Over time, habits are borrowed from the owner.
- A cat is able to dictate its terms. For example, do not eat food thrown on the floor, and not in its bowl.
How a cat chooses its place
All cats are sleep lovers. In this state, they spend about β
of their lives. The duration of sleep is determined by age, season, well-being and sexual desire. Studying the behavior of cats, you will notice that kittens and old animals sleep longer.
During sleep, the pet can actively move, the cause of this phenomenon is not known reliably.
The place for rest is carefully selected and can be changed in the future. What is the main thing in it for a cat? The behavior of cats is based on instincts. The main one is self-preservation. The place to sleep should have a good view, so that the pet feels protected.
There are a number of principles that a cat uses:
- Hands and knees of the wearer. The cat likes the ownerβs bed, however, experts do not recommend allowing the animal to sleep next to the person for hygienic reasons.
- Dark corners and elevations to feel safe.
- Heating radiators and stoves. Cats love warmth.
- Boxes and other containers.
