Cat Behaviour, Cats

It is a known fact that the members of the family felidae are not quite friendly in their behavior and also is said to posses zero tolerance towards strangers that is towards the members belonging to the other families in the animal kingdom.

Domestic cat is one of the prime members belonging to the feline family but the human beings for centuries together have inculcated certain soft qualities are harnessed them to their best possible ability to domesticate cats and change the breed in to what they are toady. In our own small ways we the act owners must also try to do our part so that our pet kitty does not become a menace for the locality in which we reside.

If we are to consider the opinion of a vet or consult him he will be able to provide us with the right statistics which will show us the number of cats that are brought to the veterinary hospitals to be put to sleep because of behavioral problems. The problems are far more distinguished in cats than in dogs.

The behavioral problems are breed specific that is most of the cats belonging to the Siamese origin are seen to have the nasty habit of wool chewing, the aggressive cats of the Burmese decent are in reality are very panicky sort of cats, the cute looking Persian cats possess the horrible habit of soiling of the house.

Often misbehavior can be the result of inheritance that is your can be the royal heir of a host of misbehavior which can be the result of stress or perceived stress on the part of your cat. He can also have received some or the other mental disorder from the parents. The corrections are to be made early in his life.

The owner of the cat should try and see to it that he or she is sociable with outsiders from the very beginning of her life that is while she is still a kitten. Otherwise later in future the situation can get out of hand and then it is expected of the act to behave roughly to others and she may even try to bite your guest of honor.

The cat has some traits which are inherent to the feline family and should not be recognized as misbehavior unless it is affecting you or your interests like for example a female cat in heat that is at the time when they are ready to mate, they spray their urine on the bushes so that the males are attracted this is a normal activity however if your cat sprays urine in the home on your sofa then it is misbehavior and she requires treatment.

Lastly diseases which might have gone undetected for a long time can also lead to adverse changes in the character and behavioral patterns of your otherwise meek and docile pet cat. If you sense any adverse change in your sweet angel rush him to her most preferred vet.
