Cat habits: value

Cats, thanks to their mysterious and independent (at first glance) nature, won the love of many people. Since there is a "language barrier" between a person and a cat, to build normal "relationships" with a four-legged friend it is important to understand his feelings and moods by gestures. The behavior of cats can indicate different conditions of the animal: resentment, sadness, sensation of pain, aggression or affectionate attitude. Man's understanding of these signals is important, to a greater extent, for a cat, because, for example, in the case of an unhealthy condition, the owner will be able to take measures: to take him to a veterinarian or try to heal the animal himself.

Aggressive gestures of cats

Cats are essentially peaceful creatures. They rarely try to attack and try in every possible way to avoid a direct conflict, rushing into the race. But before they escape from the source of danger, they seek to intimidate him so that he does not start to catch up with the cat. To intimidate, the crooks bend their back up, become "on tiptoes" to appear taller and larger. The ears are turned back, and the tail is puffing, enlarging visually in size.

If the fights have not been avoided, the cats can spit in the direction of the opponent, roar and sizzle. At this moment, wild screams are heard all over the district, which they publish. During the fight, they try to grab the enemy by the scruff and thus gain control of the situation. If the enemy is a dog, then the cat scratches it on the nose to reduce the concentration of the enemy.

If the cat is brought to the full state of aggression, then it is difficult to stop it, and at this moment it is ready for the most desperate deeds, which even intimidates large dogs. It is not uncommon for a cat to drive a dog and even chase after it to commit "retribution."

Cat habits and disease

Also, by behavior, facial expressions, gestures and voice, you can determine if the cat is sick. If she always does not depart from the owner and screams, then, most likely, she is in pain and asks for help. Another sign of the disease is always half-closed eyes and a foggy look, which indicates that the animal is very tired.

In a painful state, a cat may aspire to hide away from everyone: under the bed, in the closet, under the blanket - where no one will touch it.

If the cat behaves very nervously and its excited state is present (sharp movements, increased tone of voice, nervous quick licking), then one of the most frequent reasons for this is skin parasites: fleas and ticks, and the cause of this may be an allergy. Constant itching can cause a nervous breakdown in a cat.

Cats and petting

If the cat murrs, then this is a clear sign of a good mood. If she pat at this moment, she can roll over on her side and put her stomach in order to be ironed, and then "flatten" on her back. In this position, the cat is vulnerable, and if she allowed herself such carelessness in her behavior, then this is an obvious expression of trust in her master.

Cat's habits and hunger

If the animal is hungry, it will call the owner and "lead" him to the place of feeding. In this case, cats look directly into the eye with a "begging" gaze, lift their tail up and mew with a questioning intonation.

Cat's habits and respectful attitude towards the owner

Quite often you can see the situation when the cat rubs against the owner's legs, "taking" their tail. Thus the expression of respect can reach an extreme degree, when the cat is stacked by means of a small somersault on human feet. The fact is that cats thus try to leave their scent on the clothes of a person so that a randomly encountered other cat representative immediately realized that this person is connected to another cat.

Another expression of reverence and an extremely confidential attitude is the "trampling" of the owner's cat or his clothes. In this state, the cats "remember" how their mother fed them in childhood. A cat who does not trust the owner and does not like him will never do so, so you should not drive him in these moments: so you can offend him very seriously.
