| Cat
Behavior :
Scratching
Is Natural |
| Scratching is a territorial instinct by which cats
place their mark and establish their turf. If your cat is scratching, you need to realize that
your cat needs to scratch and climb because it's cat behavior. You
can't keep your cat from scratching. What you can do is stop her
from scratching those items you value and want to keep in their
relatively pristine state. |
| Cat Behavior
: Cat
Spraying A Urine |
| Spraying urine is a way cats mark out their
territory. In
statistic, cat spraying a urine constitutes 44% of all house soiling
complaints. It is quite normal cat behavior for the cat but we can
reduce the problem. Many cats will reject a litterbox placed in a busy
area of your home, people walking by all the time and making too much
noise. Some cats like a little privacy if they are going to use the box
and not give you cat urine problems. Most cats will not use a box that
is located too close to their food and water, this is understandable. |

Behavior : How To Control Cat
Spraying |
1. The easiest way to
deal with the
cat spraying is to consider neutering or spaying. But you should do
this before your kitten’s mature - when she is 4-6 months old.
2. If you are a multiple cat owner, it is strongly advised that you
have one litter box for every cat. Keep the litter boxes scooped and
clean, and be mindful when washing them to use only mild and unscented
cleaning agents.
3. Try to lower the cat’s stress by maintaining a routine,
because the changes often cause cat spraying. Feed at the same time
each day and keep their food, litter box, and bed in their respective
places.
4. Give your cats enough attention. Play with her, massage her, talk to
her. Give her tons of praise, affection and attention for simply
breathing.
5. Urine spraying occurs near
doors or
windows where cats can see outdoors, especially when strange cats are
hanging around outside. If your cat spraying because she perceived
treat from another cat or animal, try limiting the area she can roam in
your house to improve her feeling of security. If the problem is with
the cats that are outside the home, you should try to reduce your
cat’s exposure to those cats, because when she sees other
cats,
her natural response will bee to mark her territory, which is your home.
6. Do not hit or yell at your cat when he sprays. It will only make the
problem worse. Instead, try to figure out why he is feeling insecure
and take steps to ease the disruption. |
| Cat
Behavior : Cat Climbing
|
| After scratching, the
climbing is
the second cat behavior and even the youngest kittens will want to test
out their skills on the nearest tree. In the wild some cats climb trees
in order to pounce on their prey from above, while the leopard have
been know to store food in a tree, away from hungry animals on the
ground. The other reason cats climb is so that they can look down on
almost every other animal - it's also the reason they hate birds. |
| Cat
Behavior : Cats Like High Place |
Why Do Cats Like High
Places:
1. Height can be a signal of dominance to a multiple cat household. The
cat who sits atop the highest spot is usually the one who is in
control, the boss.
2. By sitting in a high place, cats are better able to observe what
goes on around them and in some instances use that vantage point as a
place of refuge.
3. Heat rises! Usually the highest spot in the home is the warmest and
that is exactly where your cat wants to be.
4. Being away from the action below is a way of calming themselves.
Maybe they have had enough "interaction" with the baby, or the dog, or
the other cats and just need a break.
